[Galaxy S III General] Enzopreme:
I would love to know why everyone so highly and confidently doubts the gsIII will be quad core? The HTC Ville has already been anounced and its quad core, and although i can't remember the name of it off the top of my head the successor to the LG revolution is also said to be quad core. more than anything this business is a competition. do you guys really believe sammy is gonna allow HTC no less LG upstage them in the hardware specs dept.? No. whether or not a quad core CPU is needed or even at all necessary is besides the point, to be honest most of the tech in the world isn't "needed" but its there and we do find ways to utilize it. with HTC and other manufacturers already announcing quad core devices id be willing to bet my last dollar that sammy will definitely release with a quad core in the 2nd qtr of 2012 . whether or not it'll be a9 or a15, that is what id like to know.
[Galaxy S III General] NoOneCanHelpMe:
galaxy s 3 might have a flexible display as sammy said they will be pushing them in 2012 :)

[Galaxy S III General] MiG123:
its already been confirmed by samsung that those renders and specs are just a conceptual hoax...
[Galaxy S III General] jaykresge:
Here's why. Samsung has recently (over the past few months) announced two more SOCs; Exynos 4212 and Exynos 5250 (SGS2 uses Exynos 4210). The 4210 (existing SOC) is dual-core A9 1.2ghz with the Mali 400 GPU. The 5250 is a dual-core A15 2.0ghz with the Mali T604 GPU. This is a significant boost.

Samsung has announced that the Exynos 4212 is a dual-core A9 1.5ghz with a higher-clocked Mali 400GPU. This is a minor upgrade over Exynos 4210. Leaked documents hint at a quad-core version, but Samsung has not announced one and a quad-core version is not currently sampling. 5250 started sampling sometime in November, and these phones need to be tested for about 6 months before their release. This would put the 5250 as available in a device by mid-late April, just in time for the annual Galaxy S-series launch. A quad-core 4212 has already missed that window.

Here's the problem; the 5250 is more powerful in a dual-core configuration than Tegra 3's quad-core variant. Also, the HTC Ville hasn't been announced, it's been leaked. There's a difference, and the leak isn't official yet. Some leaks peg it at 2.0-2.5ghz quad-core Tegra 3, which is grossly higher than Nvidia's official specs. Nvidia lists the Tegra 3 as being capped at 1.4ghz in single-core and 1.3ghz in multi-core configurations. No way the Ville is running a 2.0-2.5ghz Tegra 3 quad-core.

We're always going to want excess, whether or not it's needed. But more cores doesn't always mean it's more powerful. What determines usable power is what those cores do. One A15 core @ 2.0ghz does more lifting than 2 A9 cores @ 1.3ghz, and that's assuming that an app is using 100% efficient multi-threaded code (this doesn't exist). With each successive core, a smaller percentage of the next core is used by software (except for encoding in some cases). More cores is better, sure, but that doesn't mean it's best. Dual-core A15 is faster than quad-core A9. Technology is evolving but Tegra 3 is using last year's tech and just bolting on more cores, whereas Exynos, OMAP, and Snapdragon are using all-new tech in dual-core configurations for 2012.

So once gain I will reiterate that I anticipate that the SGS3 will be powered by the dual-core Exynos 5250. Sure, I could be wrong. I have been wrong before and I will be wrong again. But with the evidence in front of me, a quad-core 4212 powering the SGS3 is just too unlikely. The chip hasn't even been announced yet, let alone sampled.

One things I wish they'd do is quit with the "thinnest phone" crap. Nobody really give a damn if their phone is the thinnest on the market, in fact the S2 is already too thin relative to size to have a good in hand feel. Just give me a robust system and casing with a big battery.
[Galaxy S III General] pietpodlood:
Totally agree, while I definitely don't want a very thick, very heavy phone, my SII sometimes feels like it's about to slip out of my hand... I got a rubber-ish cover for it and now it's the perfect width for me. Just measured it, 12 millimeters thick, for a phone with this large screen, that's perfect IMO. I damn near bought the HTC Sensation because the S II felt too thin and flimsy... You can say what you like about either phone, but a Sensation feels better in-hand, it's thicker and heavier, making it feel more 'solid'
[Galaxy S III General] Visentinel:

Samsung will probably release 3 phones.. along with new galaxy note,galaxy tab..etc. like HTC and Sony did.

sorry for not very correct facts, i made it in hurt of time.can we await somethink like this from samsung,..tell pls your opinion
[Galaxy S III General] Toss3:
Doubt they will release three phones, as the one high-end phone thing has paid off so far. I would sincerely hope you are right, but I doubt it.
[Galaxy S III General] tietherope:
Galaxy S3 is only a tag and possibly only for search purposes, not actually part of the description.
[Galaxy S III General] ziggazee:
They've changed it, it said galaxy s3 unpacked in the description before. Oh well they were quick... still the fact that it has s3 as a tag means their associating the s3 with this app leads me to think it's a no brainer. S3 unpacked? We shall see.
[Galaxy S III General] J34:
I agree with you.

If Samsung really released SIII with THAT specs, would be ideal phone of the year. (Especially with a 'Plus' screen + battery bigger than 2000MaH)

Let's hope for the best.

But the thing that is confusing me, if you see their teaser, there is a "big stone" and small one. I think the bigger stone indicates to some tablet or something? And the small one is for a phone? Who knows.

Look like paint drops to me. I thought it signified color options. And size.

[Galaxy S III General] tietherope:
From everywhere I have seen it has always been in the tags section and it still says Galaxy S3, so what did they change? Nowhere reports it being anywhere other than the tags. It most likely is the name, however they could just have it in the tags as that's what people will search for.
[Galaxy S III General] jerseykat1:
i dont know about you guys. but i am digging that brushed aluminum type finish they have going on with that blue stone/paint drop. Solid colors are getting boring, a brushed finish as pictured would be a nice touch.

As long as samsung is still making the chips for apples iphones you can expect the gs3 to be as fast as if not faster than the next iphone 5 thats due later this year.

personally, if the gs3 doesnt have great design (hardware wise), an sd card slot, and a good sized battery. Then there really is no reason for me to not get a HTC one X instead. I think samsung realizes they have to go above and beyond this time because the ONE x is a VERY compelling device.
[Galaxy S III General] @rbiter:
Compelling til you see all the issues it has.

sent with 3g courage. better recognize.
[Galaxy S III General] Logi_Ca1:
IMHO the biggest flaw of the One X is the non removable battery. Its nit just about popping in a fresh battery; batteries degrade over use and I don't want to have to send it back to HTC for a new battery. Also, the SGS2 showed how we can have a slim phone but with removable battery, so I don't buy the size argument for a second.
[Galaxy S III General] meboy:
HTC One problems.

- No removable battery

- No sdcard

- lcd screen (I can't imagine it's better than the amoled plus but will check out a display model to see for sure. Also see what the battery tests show.)

That's a pretty big list of items against what's supposed to be their flagship.

If Samsung adds an led for notifications that would put them even further ahead.
[Galaxy S III General] aydc:
Most people have never carried a spare battery with them in their entire life. Battery life of modern phones is enough to get through one day anyway. For others, there are mobile chargers. Battery degradation doesn't matter much either, since most batteries go for 5 years before a non-geek can detect a significant degradation.

Sdcard is not that important for many either, since very few people have more than 32GB data that they want to carry with them at all times.

As you see, they are simply aiming for the 95% of people while making their devices cheaper, lighter and more robust. A very smart strategy. People like us who belong to 5% don't matter at all.
[Galaxy S III General] Frostfree:
It's a show stopper for me, but can't argue I probably constitute a minority of users but I find people like us influence a more significant number of upgrades, HTC will lose more than just my custom.
[Galaxy S III General] 4ktvs:
Every HTC lcd screen I have ever seen sucks. Yes even the rezound, but 720p is still nice.

More ontopic: I have a wish list and a what I think will be list.

First up wish list (with some realism):

1) A15 2.0GHZ dual core

2) 1080p 4.8in screen

3) Water proof up to 10M

4) 32,64,128GB of flash storage

5) ICS 4.0.4

6) LTE band's for AT&T with out AT&T branding. ( So I can use my fake unlimited plan on it)

7) Verizon to get the phone. ( So it kicks the crap out of the iphone.oh yea)

What I think they will do:

1) 720P OLED+ 4.6in screen

2) 1.5GHZ quad core A9 32nm ( This would still best the one x in CPU)

3) water proofing like the razr

4) 32GB and 64GB of flash

5) ICS 4.0.3

6) AT&T LTE band's, but only if you buy it from AT&T or a reseller. :(

7) Verizon will be left to die and so be it.

Any way this phone is going to be cool and I can't wait to see it! Go samsung, GO show the phone RIGHT NOW!

[Galaxy S III General] nikzDHD:
As a HOX owner I disagree.

Battery is fine it lasts me a whole working day for my normal usage. Sure will get better once we get custom kernels.

The no sd card slot no big issue for me, 32gb is fine for majority. Some users do want more but we can't do anything about this.

SLCD2 is great sure blacks are no where as black compared to amoled but then you dont get the issues related to amoled like screen burn and such. Text is crisp and clear.

In all it's a good device.

However let's see what the SGS3 is capable off as I am a Samsung fan and looking forward to it's announcement as I loved the SGS2.
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
i agree with your view on battery.

but sd card is surely much important feature, a 32 gb card will easily get filled with data in a very few months. a few hours of hd video, 3 or 4 hd games will fill the card quickly. also you wont get the comfort of hooking your card to any other device to copy/move data.
[Galaxy S III General] aydc:
How easy or hard is HTC One X to use with single hand? I'm asking this because SGS3 will most likely be similar size.

SGS2 is at the limit of my hand for single handed use. When I'm holding it in my right hand, I have trouble reaching the top left with my thumb. If SGS3 is any bigger, I'm afraid I won't be able to use most apps single handedly.

So as a One X user, what's your experience with one handed use?
[Galaxy S III General] XDA mark:
I played with an OneX today in a store. Side by side, the OneX isn't so much bigger then the S2. But the screen is larger, I couldn't reach both the top and the botton without moving my hand a little bit.

I have small hands though, so take this in consideration to what I say.

Off topic, the One X really has a superb design :D And that screen is amazing! I am hoping "design" will be the major focus of the S3.
[Galaxy S III General] 4ktvs:
I hoping 1080p will the a major focus of the S3, but design is more likely.

Is the screen really that good like the IPS on the iphone or is it more like the rezound?

P.S I hate the iphone, but the screen is good, every thing else sucks. CPU 800MHZ (Come on again), iOS 5 and the battery all suck. The GPU is good, but soon to be outclassed in a big way.
[Galaxy S III General] nikzDHD:
It's a tad longer so you will have difficulty in reaching for the top left. I've got small hands so always juggling it about when using one handed. But not an issue for me as I just use both hands or juggle around but got to be careful it don't slip out of my hand. The S2 was better to handle one handed though when I had it.

My "Wish List

I expect Samsung to have a slick design and a very capable processor. I would prefer removable battery and sd slot, but they are NOT deal breakers for me. Here are 3 things I would like to see

1. Better Screen (or at least on par with) than the One X. The One X is just beautiful. And really thats the only issue I have with my S2 at the moment

2. TouchWiz 5 - Im hoping(wishing) for ICS look combined with TouchWiz features& functionality

3. Upgraded Camera UI. I expect the camera to be outstanding but I really like the UI on the One X
[Galaxy S III General] RedBlueGreen:
Just use nova launcher if you don't like the look of the new touchwiz UI
[Galaxy S III General] samoelito:

if you have to ask that question then stick to a ten year old nokia as it will be all you need.
[Galaxy S III General] tbong777:
Non replaceable battery would be a deal breaker for me. Shades of iPhone. One of the things I never worry about is USING my phone. HARD and often, everything syncing, everything on, I do what I want when I want without regard to battery life. I don't care if I get 5 hours I carry extra batteries. That said I usually get 12-14 hours and charge every night.

Not having a battery replacement means rationing and constantly looking for the best battery life. Not something I ever had to worry about. Performance first battery life second.

Secondly my device must had an SD slot. I don;t like using the cloud and prefer to keep my data within my space. I m backed up and a few drives and do not depend on the cloud at all. Prefer to use online storage for collaborations rather than storage of private data and family pictures. 64GB interchangeable card with 16GB is plenty for a phone.

Touch pal

Edit: What I'm saying is, yeah touchwiz features are cool, but it's nothing you can't replicate with 3rd party apps set as default. Even the slide your finger across the notification bar for brightness is stock with Cyanogenmod. Plus 3rd party apps tend to be more feature rich, so mx player plays everything touchwiz can, but you have loads more options and interface tweaks than the stock TW one. Touchpal has the T9 dialing and a load more things TW has, same for GoSms, QuickPic, PowerAmp........
