I cannot see anything but gaming using or needing 4 core processing.

"The only area where quad-core devices completely meet our expectations is gaming. Most gaming applications take advantage of multiple threads, and the increased number of cores provide a more efficient and much smoother gaming experience. Plus, it’s important to remember that games and other advanced applications that need as much power as possible are only as good as the code they are written on. In the case of the Tegra 3 SoC, which is found in many of today’s hottest devices, including the Transformer Infinity Pad 300, the original Transformer Prime, and the HTC One X (non-LTE), NVIDIA has employed its vast expertise in creating world-class hardware, and has collaborated with developers to really optimize these gaming titles........

Not revolutionary ? Are we forgetting this is in a pocket size device .. this is defiantly revolutionary in my opinion.

Android have REALLY stepped up there game this year in my opinion, Samsung is the iPhone killer.. plain and simple and you can see it happening.

Alot of my circle of friends are swapping to the Android OS.. which were Apple fanboys from day one.

Myself being one, in my defense the SGSI was a fail when comparing to an iPhone.. although SGII on the other hand there's no comparison.

Sure you have all the tweaks and what not to optimize the experience at the end of the day you shouldn't have to tweak the crap out of your device to get a decent usage experience from the end user perspective anyway.

We haven't even seen anything with Flexiglass yet which if im not mistaken is trademark Samsung.. which will truly revolutionize the way we use our mobile devices.

Kudos to Samsung there doing a great job so far, cant wait till the drop.. we all know were going to be grabbing one of these devices..
[Galaxy S III General] Bigmaxy:
Agreed

Would much prefer a later release of the phone so that it could include the 5x50 chip. Would still come out before the iPhone5 and hopefully still beat it in the specs race.
[Galaxy S III General] Rytkonen:
Nothing revolutionary, it will be easily just the most powerful phone on the market, again.
[Galaxy S III General] BJ van Beethoven:
They aren't using A15 architecture, get over it. No other flagship models are running A15's, why would Samsung?

I doubt even the iP5 will be using an A15 chipset, and given Samsung have just spent the better part of the last year developing and testing the Exynos 4 Quad, why would they not use it in their flagship model? That would be revenue down the drain....

Not to mention it takes away the appeal of the next Nexus or Galaxy phone ;)
[Galaxy S III General] hIdd3N-:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5786/...2nm-hkmg-announced-for-next-galaxy-smartphone more info on the new exynos
[Galaxy S III General] J34:
Let's just hope it's not true.

I know that the new Quad Core Exynos is as twice as fast as the current one, but we still demand the dual A15 which is 4 times as fast. Not only that, but also 40-50% (as they said) less battery consuming.

Additionally, now 80% (if not 99%) of Android apps support dual threading, but not quad+. So not all apps will benefit from the quad core.

Regarding those who are comparing Galaxy vs iPhone. The sad thing, if Samsung rushes it and releases it with Quad A9. I'm quite sure they will lose their "phone battle" with Apple after few months of release, because 100% sure Apple will release their new iPhone with A15.
[Galaxy S III General] hIdd3N-:
I really don't care what apple does with their iphone. It will ship with iOS so it's worthless. I'm more worried about the android competition. but competition is good for us consumers and i'm not bound to Samsung.

i'm happy with my sgs II. haven't had a such fun with a gadget in years.

and i have learned from it. i will never be an early adopter again. I will wait for a later bugfixed revision and a potential price drop. (implying my phone doesn't break again)
[Galaxy S III General] override182:
Not quite. Samsung manufactured Apple A6, if it will be a dual A5, Samsung would deliver it in their own phone. There has to be a reason why this is happening. Either simply just simply marketing or is it to to their production constraint.

Most people observe the performance of Krait based on totally benchmarks score. Where is the 'benchmarking is simply for noobs' basis and if its so great, how much superior is the One S compared to One X in terms of performance and comparable batterylife? I dont see that much ppl pointing on that part. All they talked about benchmarks and architecture. Remember thay asychonous didnt help much in SnapdragonS3? Well, same thing might happen or already happened here.
[Galaxy S III General] Phillmitchell:
Coming back to the sgs2 from the galaxy nexus I've realised what a crappy phone this is.ics is ugly and not much changed from gingerbread.once you have used a 4.65 screen its hard to come back to this.will sell this asap
[Galaxy S III General] runedrune:
Cool story.
[Galaxy S III General] uvaman:
From Samsung video introducing Quad core pro you can see that

they used quad core 1.5 Ghz for showing the difference in power consumption

So SGS3 will have 1.5 Ghz quad core processor ?

I kind expected at least a bit more :D

http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/5826/sgs3.jpg
[Galaxy S III General] hIdd3N-:
They are talking dualcore there. SGS III will have quadcore.
[Galaxy S III General] uvaman:
Thx man didnt saw that :D
[Galaxy S III General] pacc:
Yeah right, I would say exactly the opposite, I would never go to Nexus without external sd-card, limited to a few 11gb.

For some reason it's selling almost half the price of the SII here, and still it's hard to sell, many shops don't know what to do with this nexus...

[Galaxy S III General] hIdd3N-:
yeah, that's what i thought.. looks like a galaxy nexus 2.0 with menu button and capacitive menu and back (really, samsung?) and this document doesn't mention anykind of sd card.

if this is the s III i'm so not going to buy it.

What's this ?

http://mashable.com/2012/04/26/exynos-4-quad/ skip to 1:13

If that's the S3, I'm a wee bit disappointed or at least not as amazed as I was hoping for... it's a bit meh and bigger-flatter-iphone4-ish. But I still want it :D
[Galaxy S III General] NickDais:
To be honest I don't see the reason to get quadcore cpu's in the phones since I've never experienced some sort of "speed lag" on my galaxy since the 1st time I used it so 1.5 quadcore seems already alot to me.

If they could make the battery last like 2 full days on hard users that would be something worthy to talk about.

And of course you should face a fact: all the phones are somehow the same now (big screens, good camera's, fast cpu's, etc, etc) the only thing that can define a phone a make it somewhat better is the battery in my opinion.

So I don't really see why to change my S2 with an S3 at this point.

My humble opinion of course, no offense to any of the above users

:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] hIdd3N-:
you can have it... it's called galaxy note :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] beaver2233:
pretty sure it saids down the bottom "Galaxy Note" ;)

Galaxy Note
[Galaxy S III General] sohebq:
i also want this to happen, the first thing i will look in any next mobile is how its battery is behaving, ir else its useless to purchase,, however, they can,t make large batteries as they want to achieve lowest possible weight

sent from S2
[Galaxy S III General] Fysi:
I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's a fake.

Reasoning: Camera won't be anything less than 12MP, CPU will be 1.4GHz (and has sort of confirmed to be), the screen has been confirmed by the OLED-A to be 4.6".
[Galaxy S III General] Martin5000:
My bad..

Heh, I was sure the Note was a bit more rounded on the edges. But apparantly I don't know so much about it :-) Probably because my contract for the SII jsut expired this month so I wasn't able to buy the Note when it was released :-)

Oh well... at least there's still a chance that the S3 will live up to my expectations :D
[Galaxy S III General] ~[SwaX]~:
Cpu should be overclocked to 1.5 GHz, anyway it's quadcore so maybe it can be overclocked to 2 GHz
[Galaxy S III General] irish-sid:
Aaaw yeah. I secretly hoped it would be a big thin iPhone4 design. Damn sexy.
[Galaxy S III General] pANd4:
No official confirmation, proof plz
[Galaxy S III General] ascariss:
4.8 inch is a pretty massive screen, I just hope that the bezel is what is being reduced and not the phone growing in size.
[Galaxy S III General] beaver2233:
+1, the sgs2 is big enough...
[Galaxy S III General] pabligeno:
I thinks it's quad core running at 1.4 Ghz.
[Galaxy S III General] Toss3:
I hope so too, and that the SQ is improved. My TripleFI 10s are screaming for a better source than my SGS2.
[Galaxy S III General] Breaksomeoff:
Genuine question for you guys, why are you excited about this new phone?

We can record at 1080p, we can hook it up a TV via HDMI and playback any HD content in a number of formats. Nothing taxes the phone... we can even run the Ocarina of Time on an N64 emulator, use a high resolution pack, and play it with a PS3 controller at 60fps.

Seriously... what gets you all pumped up? Is it simply having the latest tech? The only thing I can see on a personal note which could be improved is the screen resolution, but then that's hugely debatable if it actually needs to be in HD. For me, it's not relevant.

I'd argue that battery life + optics in terms of anti shake are vastly more important, yet I don't see that improving anytime soon.
[Galaxy S III General] @rbiter:
32nm tech for me. The jump from 45nm to 32 will be noticeable. My c2d 45nm Intel went to quad last year at 32nm. The 6 cell it uses compared to 9 cells on my last laptop lasts longer. Like almost 2 hours longer with twice the performance.

sent with 3g courage. better recognize. 4g courage coming soon. stock up on diapers.
[Galaxy S III General] NickDais:
+1

I totally agree
[Galaxy S III General] poseidon5213:

[Galaxy S III General] Netman_:
4,6-4,7" HD RGB with a very thin bazel (not much bigger than sgs2), 7mm thickness, very light - all what I need ;)

[Galaxy S III General] Fysi:
Screen - http://oled-a.org/news_details.cfm?ID=760

On the board of OLED-A is one H. K. Chung, Executive Vice President, Samsung SDI, and also Samsung are one of their members: http://www.oled-a.org/members.cfm

CPU - Got semi confirmed today with the Samsung Exynos announcement today: http://www.theverge.com/2012/4/25/2975835/samsung-14gz-exynos-4-quad-processor-next-galaxy

Camera - Nothing confirmed on this apart from photos taken and 'leaked' benchmarks, but I honestly think Samsung are too invested in the spec race to go with 8MP.

RAM - I would be surprised if it went above 1.5GB of RAM

Internal Storage - No idea on default storage space, but it will have expandable purely because of the amount of people who baw'd about the Galaxy Nexus and the One series not having expandable slots.

In my opinion it will be more about software and looks rather than pure specs (unlike the SGS2 which was pure specs IMO).
[Galaxy S III General] pacc:
There's nothing really exciting in my point of view.

1080p record and play (also on SII)

8mp photos (also on SII)

ICS (also on SII)

CPU (dual processor SII never felt short, and easily able to overclock)

GPU (similar to SII)

...

It's all about the eye catchy 720p screen, which due to higher resolution will cause higher battery drain, and only noticeable if you look a few centimeters distance.

Still don't know if it will be enough for me to spend another round.
[Galaxy S III General] XDA mark:
Quad Core processor, SAMOLEDHD+, ICS optimized..

For me the design makes it or breaks it. The specs are up to date, imo the S3 takes the top position again (over the One X). But what will deciding for me will be the design.

Actually Galaxy flagship phones brings something really intrestting, each time they come.

This time also korean company will bring to us unexpected things.

History is witness!
[Galaxy S III General] xath23:
If they are really using the new SAMOLED HD Plus Screen for the SIII, the display will consume LESS power because of the use of phosphorescent green. Not to mention the CPU will use alot less power aswell..

The screen is definatly the selling point for me. As much as I love my SII the resolution really isn't that great anymore.

While we have ICS on the SII, the SIII will be built around the new OS so we should expect alot better performance, better looks and better features. Let's face it at the moment ICS on the SII feels unfinished and somewhat sluggish.

The camera isn't confirmed last time I checked. I'm expecting a 12MP camera, though I'm hoping they will stick with 8MP and just use a bigger sensor wich would raise image quality by a whole lot, definatly more than a bump in MP..

1080p recording on the SII is actually pretty bad I get framerate drops alot and the quality is really lackluster.

GPU isn't all that important to me because mostly I use a Vita or 3DS for gaming.. Though I guess the higher clocks could help with overall smoothness of the UI.

The SII is by far the best smartphone I ever owned and it's a great device that won't get dated anytime soon. But it still has it's flaws and hopefully those tiny flaws will be ironed out by the SIII.
[Galaxy S III General] XDA mark:
This.

While I am very happy with Hydrogen ICS (AOKP), the phone still doesn't feel 100% made for ICS. Don't know why, but I feel it too.
[Galaxy S III General] shohid1234:
As a galaxy S2 and Note owner, I really think sammy are going to have a hard time beating the One X in terms of display and design. It seems pretty clear that SLCD2 has overtaken SAMOLED HD/plus and as a sammy fan I have to begrudgingly say that the One X beats all of samsung phones in looks.

But i'd love to be proven wrong! :p
[Galaxy S III General] XDA mark:
I have to agree the One X is very nice. That's why I am intrested to see what Samsung does in the Design department. If they really come with a slick, new, innovative design, they might beat the One X. Hardware wise they will be similar, both Quad Core, both superb displays (I think a SAMOLEDHD+ display would still be better by a little bit). But if Samsung comes with a similar design like the S2, the One X will be the king.
[Galaxy S III General] twistedh:
Given the current issues with the one x, Samsung won't have to work very hard to attract people who were considering the one x. I've had it since launch after changing from my sg2 and like many in the one x section of the forum, we all have big problems with it :(
[Galaxy S III General] xath23:
I can never go back to an LC Display tbh. I love dark themes and colours on my phone and nothing compares to AMOLED in that discipline. I can't stand seeing those washed out blacks and all LC Displays I've seen have more or less bleeding wich is horrible. Whenever my sister shows me a trailer on her 4S I start thinking "it's really nice and sharp" BUT THOSE BLACKS AND EDGE BLEEDING are downright horrible..

I just seen the HOX screen in a store with alot of ambient light, so I can't say if it has edge bleeding or not but I wasn't too impressed. What I do like though, is that it looks like you're touching the screen directly, almost as if there is no glass in between.

As for the design I agree. The HOX looks really great and also feels nice, but I'd be afraid of the white version attracting dirt. I had a white case on my SII with similar texture and it got dirty within only a few days.

According to what has been said about the new SAMOLED HD+ screens they should produce very nice whites wich would kind of fix the only flaw I see in OLED screens.

Only time will tell, I cannot wait for the 3rd to come!
[Galaxy S III General] Rytkonen:
I agree. I have Transformer Prime which has pretty decent LCD screen. Dark colours and black are horrible if you are used to SAMOLED screen. Thank god there is no light bleeding in my TP.

I have been in love with Super Amoled since SGS1 and I think there is no turning back anymore.
[Galaxy S III General] snowwhite007:
I have a HOX and dont have any faults believe me iv looked im due my upgrade so cant wait to see the gs3 maybd itl make me stop playing with my gs2

Don't like the rounded design. But I am hoping for non onscreen buttons, I want atleast a 4.7 inch display, and the whole thing for me to use no onscreen buttons wasting space
[Galaxy S III General] Mugsyfied:
I just hope they've mad some advances with the battery life.

And inductive charging would be good.

No physical buttons and inductive charging means no external holes....the next logical step is waterproofing :D
[Galaxy S III General] @rbiter:
Uhm.... 3.5 mm and at least one hole mic but I think we expect noise cancel so make that two. Earpiece. Up to 4 holes already.

I was hoping for no buttons to make the dimensions smaller but it still looks good. As long as they can increase battery life over S2 I'll be happy.

Oh.. and the Android fragmentation camp will have a field day with this news about different S3 configurations, even the same model has different hardware :)
[Galaxy S III General] uvaman:
Toss I would rather have A-15 Cortex ;))) and I dont care about the battery.. If you want to have smartphone get use to it (to charge every day - two).. The time will come when battery life will last three , four days but this is not the case..

If the rumors are true, 2050 mah battery, green pixel which is using less power , new processor 20% better consumption then I am fine with it at least for SGS3 ...

And if you want bigger battery I advice you , buy a battery from the scooter and take it with yourself wherever you go :D:D or take the charger :D (I am not being rude, more :D )

The new pictures don't look that great but it looks still better than the SII imo. However I find it hard to believe this will be the final design, didn't they talk about being different in the teasers and standing out? Also whats with the blue and white metallic theme they used on all of their flyers and adds? It's nowhere to be found on those devices...

I hope we will be surprised on the 3rd, but if this is the final design I will get it anyway. I'll just have an eye on the upcomming nexus which has been confirmed being made by Samsung again.
