Roflmao. That's fine. Hey op, I am impressed. After close to 10 android phones this one takes the cake for features. That's really what it about nowadays. Not just making calls. What can do more. Enjoy the technology and don't be afraid to test something because it doesn't carry a name you are used to. I doesn't make it better or worse. Just different.

The Samsung Galaxy S III: The First Smartphone Designed Entirely By Lawyers

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
I'm sorry but the picture in picture is the silliest thing I have ever seen.

It wasn't useful on TVs and probably much less useful on a cell phone...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrstphrbrnnn:
Apple's design is for apple and for apple users. I loved my iPhone for the time that I used it and I enjoy my Mac but I've never exactly understood why other companies feel the need to emulate. Sure, you see it as an easy road to success but as Call of Duty has shown the video game industry, it's pretty hard to steal sales copying us. I'd rather see companies try to emulate the level of accessibility and simplicity, but through other means.

Granted, you could make the case that Samsung has done well and that it was a successful business model. I'd argue they've done well for other reasons though; mainly the success of android and their consumer friendly name.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dougeq:
No I haven't but I guess I thought it would knock my socks off
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
well it's the general discussions section, and threads about comparisons between GN and any other phone are normal. as far as i've seen, mods have been closing all S3 threads and referring to this one. as long as general stuff and lil chit-chats are not polluting dev section (and are posted here), u should be quite happy.

p.s. u could've just addressed the mods directly instead of opening a thread about it.

(this was actually my reply in the thread u opened but the mods closed it before i got the chance to reply. if u're too annoyed about such things, just ignore these threads, no one is forcing u to read about S3).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jvrobert:
I was thinking of "waterfalling" my Nexus to the wife and getting a GSIII but now I'm not really interested in it.

If I was buying a new phone now and it was within $75 of the GN, I might go with the GSIII but otherwise no way.

I am happy as hell with my Nexus, and will hold on to it unless/until a Windows 7/8 phone comes out that doesn't have circa 2010 hardware.

Otherwise, I'm set until a 1080p Galaxy Note sized phone comes out for under $500.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Qortez1:
I believe the galaxy s 3 would've been much better had it not been for the physical home button and the capacitive buttons.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaiaV:
It might be worth noting that the physical home button, which was present on both the international Galaxy S and SII series, were typically removed on non-international models and replaced with the typical 4 capacitive buttons of the time. It is possible Samsung will do the same with the SIII or something of a similar nature.

FATALITY!!!

killing is my business, And business is good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zed011:
I read these posts all the time. Too many people defending the phone they own endlessly keeping their options closed and thoughts narrow. Some of us phone multiple phones and do not play the favorite brand game.

But back to the topic, yes I am slightly disappointed but not hugely since I did not buy into the hype.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
You are a fool if you think it is like that for every device.

At any rate, not everyone wants to root. Use your head.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckoadiyn:
Maybe for gsm version for the VZW and sprint version I don't know why it would be huge lol s4 chips for the majority of US users when you take quad out and throw in a s4 chip might as well get HTC better UI radio and build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adslee:
Okay. Since you're a recognized developer on XDA, I'm going to have to take your word for it, right?

I have complete faith that within the first week of launch, whether it be the work of a developer on XDA or not, the SGS3 will have root. Guess I'm a fool!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Like I said...

Don't talk in generalities unless you know what you are talking about. If it gets root, great. However you spoke in generalities, and that is quite incorrect.

Edit: Even if you get root, you won't have the developer support a Nexus device has.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
A exploit wasn't needed but you would have to give up your warranty and register your device via HTCDEV. To me this is UNACCEPTABLE,

Why?

You flash a lot of ROMs / Kernels / etc...... and for some odd reason you have a defective phone and the volume rocker started to become loose. Did flashing a ROM / Kernel cause that? no. But since you gave up your warranty for a unlocked bootloader--you're forced to rebuy a phone.

.. I will agree that Galaxy S series phone are a lot easier to root and Samsung doesn't really lock their phones. Samsung even gave a CM developer a Galaxy S2 to dev on it.

It's not a matter of debate or anything.. but simply for the fact that each variant will have it's own dev community and not many roms/kernels will be cross compatible. Especially international versions and the U.S. versions.

And like I mentioned before, starting a dev community from scratch compared to the Galaxy Nexus which has been going on for 4+ months.

Agreed. Nexus devices have strong developer communities. Look at the Nexus S, it's one year in. Compare that development to a Galaxy S2 phone right now. I bet Nexus S will have a stronger dev community
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CMNein:
I'd rather be dead than have to run Touchwiz again for even an hour.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Jelly Bean is also coming out soon, at least that's what being rumored.

Have fun with a Galaxy S3 running ICS when Galaxy Nexus will have Jelly Bean already.

http://androidandme.com/2012/04/sma...nexus-could-befirst-device-to-get-jelly-bean/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I think even with HTCDEV, it won't let you flash radios.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
No worries, they will get it 6-8 months after release :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
That's kind of lame. Last HTC phone I've used was the G1. I also saw a tweet by koush mentioning how bad HTCDev is.

.. there it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
I can't afford to buy a phone full price (phone's are generally free on contract here in the UK, my Galaxy Nexus was), so I definitely won't be changing to the S3.

If I could afford it though.. well I'd be tempted definitely, if it had a good dev community (and it will) and some decent stock ICS roms. I do love the Galaxy Nexus though!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adslee:
Yep, you need S-Off to flash radios on HTC devices... It's a real hassle for some of their newer phones, but root, kernels, and custom ROMs are still possible without S-Off

Okay sir. But I'm just saying, look at the numbers on XDA alone (development section)

SGS1 (not counting T-Mobile variant, etc): 1,533 Threads, 494,839 Posts

Galaxy Nexus: 137 Threads, 58,677 Posts + 18 Threads, 1,038 Posts + 94 Threads, 23,774 Posts

Obviously post and thread counts aren't everything but it does say a lot about how many people out there have the device and look for/make custom ROMs and I know the SGS3 wouldn't be directly supported by Google but honestly for some that void can be filled by the devs at XDA.

And I understand that not all people would want to root their phones, that's fine, but if you're on XDA, chances are that you came looking to root your phone anyway...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckoadiyn:
I have yet to see this point be validated by a single user on here where they are unable to get physical items fixed by HTC the part to my understanding that becomes void if you unlock is if you brick your device your SOL nothing about actual hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
What are you talking about? I'm saying that if a PHYSICAL thing happened to the phone because of poor quality control. And it needed to be repaired, it wouldn't be under warranty anymore because you unlocked your phone via HTCDev.

What I'm saying is that this is unacceptable if a company voids your warranty for simply flashing ROMs/Kernels/etc.

Also, supercurio is strongly against ASUS' bootloader unlock policy as well (ASUS has a similar unlocking to HTC)

Nexus unlock: sure it says you void warranty...... but you can simply just RELOCK the phone and flash stock images. Meaning there is no trace. Only reason why a person would contact the manufacturer in the first place for warranty is because of physical defects which is NOT caused by flashing roms etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adslee:
Not entirely sure, but I have heard that if it's just a hardware problem, some companies will still uphold their end of the bargain (hardware warranty maybe?) and replace certain parts free of charge. People have reported sending in their phones with a custom ROM but a defective screen and getting them back fixed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Well I'm not sure at that at all. But is it a risk that "we" want to take? because it is pretty simply for a company to say "screw off" and use that unlock bootloader policy to save money. After all, businesses' main goals are to gain profit.

Nexus devices are just stronger in the long run and they last longer due to developer support.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckoadiyn:
Key word could and basically all they are talking about is making a brick I am sure. Screen becoming dead or buttons not working I don't see how it would be due to rooting. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 5enses:
i think i'll stick with the galaxy nexus line :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sert00:
1--hate tw and every proprietary UI out there

2--want\need fastest update from google\don't want to downgrade in this thing

3--have no need to change phone to have last soc.quad core for me is a feature that don't fits my needs.with a normal dual-core i'm totally satisfied,the gpu is old on nexus but i can play smmoth every games without problems,there isn't out there anything that i can't do optimally due to the "only" 2 cores...many phones updates at ics etc continuing using a single-core cpu,all without any tipe of problems.quad-core for me is only a commercial find for selling.ram on gnex is ok as well for a lot of future months.display idem,with an already 720p pentile display i haven't the need to change phone (like many users out there because has a older phone with old resolutions.

4--love the development behind gnex,don't need more.we have already the best devs coding for this phone.

5--my first google experience phone....and not the last!probably after changing this,i want to see the spec of the next nexus with jellybeans.

i think that from now on,don't choose a non nexus phone because i like this fact over others aspects (like more performant cpu e gpu)

an year ago i certainly go to the strongest and most performant phone...now instead i prefer the nexus features over all the rest because after buying this phone i that power is not the best...optimizations,updates and a big community development like here at xda makes sense for me forthinkin' of change gnex.

regards folks

:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Well I don't use non-Nexus devices so I wouldn't know. If any previous customer in the past can confirm or deny if a company will deny repairing their phone due to warranty or charge additional then we will really know.

But... Samsung doesn't really lock their bootloaders so it's relatively easy to get it back to stock. But my point still stands for development progress when compared to new development to a existing one that has been going on for 4+ months. Especially when more and more people and getting the phone especially when it's being sold for $399 on Google Play Store as well as updates coming from Google (people may argue about yakju/yakjuxw/etc.... the solution to fix it is there, do it. otherwise they cant really complain)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Can't imagine why Galaxy Nexus owners would defend their phone...on a Galaxy Nexus forum.:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordanprudent:
It made me appreciate my nexus to be honest
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Sure does. I turn it off as soon as I'm done using it. Mms has been around. Arooooound. It is ridiculous. I'm a smart consumer. I amaze myself. :rolleyes: The gnex is even more open because TI documentation is open. Now that's impressive. :p

let it be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkgoon3r96:
Guys, try out Stick It! from the Play Store, with that you will be able to pull out and resize the video while texting or whatever it is you want to do. It is even better than on SIII as you can also watch YouTube videos.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IanCoves:
Yeah... Nah

The Nexus is all the phone I need right now, I'm not gonna be tempted by anything until I run into compatibly issues/ serious application lag OR the next nexus comes out. As far as pissing contests go, most my friends have iPhones so there's just no competition :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jila:
Fox my opinioni, only the battery from 2100 mah is an innovation into GS3...and I wish it in my GNex..

Inviato dal mio Galaxy Nexus con Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkgoon3r96:
Haha do you even know what innovation means?

And for the record, the Galaxy S III innovates in many ways. It has many features that other phones don't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Does ugly count as one of the innovations?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XeloOw:
Samsung released a new **** made of crappy plastic

Yeahhhh HTC
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkgoon3r96:
You guys are biting one thing about the phone and aren't letting go... you guys just want to please yourself with the fact that the GSIII is crap even though it is the best. Its design is a fail. But pretty much everything else is spot on and a WIN
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stromvap:
I have neither and i am getting the GNEX.

Vanilla Android is a pretty big win for the GNEX. And that is the reason im getting it.

The only reason i even considered S3 is because it has a better processor. But i dont see how a Dual Core is ever going to let me down on a phone other than playing video/games. Games i am not interested in. Video; mkv 720p works which is good enough for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mello9119:
On the upside, it's a phone that has a SD card slot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beeboss:
I personally was disappointed only with materials , in particular , plastic back cover . I really was hoping that materials will be equal to One X . All the other is very nice for me . I don't see pentile screen as a huge disadvantage because I really love one on my nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exodian:
This thread is funny. Reminds me of conversations I have had with iPhone users. "Mine is better because its this and that" "this is better because of that and this" The gnex is a nice phone. Not ground breaking. Ics was ground breaking, not the phone. The s3 has ics so it has all that the gnex has officially. It won't have the unofficial dev support this phone has. This phone will get the next upgrade much faster than the s3. S3 has better hardware and a few features that the gnex never will. Strengths on both sides. And how can you honestly judge a phone you have never used? Explain that to me? Passing judgement on the s3 without ever even seeing one in person let alone taking it for a spin is idiotic. Now don't get me wrong I'm not a s3 fanatic. I won't be getting one because I'm not eligible for an upgrade until 2/13 and my gnex will serve me well until then but the s3 is a very nice phone and worth getting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kolyan:
SG3 doesnt impress me at all If that was a SAMOLED HD Plus and phone looked better, then its a different story
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hbkmog:
As a current GNex owner whose first phone was nexus one and came to gnex from a sgs2, I'm almost embarrassed to see so many gnex owners acting like irrational fanboys to justify their purchase.

I don't plan to get SGS3 myself as I don't feel it's worth the money to get the not so significant upgrade, but I'd admit honestly SGS3 does pack a punch to gnex. Almost every aspect of sgs3 is better. I, for one, hate the mediocre camera of gnex. The design isn't much of a issue because I know I would use a protection case anyway and also Touchwiz doesn't bother me at all because you can always flash other ROMs if you want to. As for dev support, coming from sgs2 I9100, I'd actually say dev support for sgs3 won't be any less than gnex, if not equal or more. Just look how fast One X got rooted and ported custom ROMs.

After all, the bottom line is that sgs3 is a more powerful phone, regardless of what people think.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgerbracht:
If it had the quad exnyos, it might be worth it. For me, they are too close to justify a change-though I tend to swap phones every six to twelve months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkgoon3r96:
Lol same material is used as the One X.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kolyan:
whats wrong with S4 dual core CPU ? so far its been doing better then quad core Tegra
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barondebxl:
The S4 is indeed an awesome processor. Its just that people would like to have the exynos quad core and is 32 nm vs tegra which is 45nm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyhook:
How many Samsung employees are on this thread now?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dario3040:
That is a little harsh don't you think?

The Galaxy S 3 is an evolution of the Galaxy Nexus, they tried to improve on what standard the Galaxy Nexus already set.

The thing is that people were expecting more, that's all.

The only thing I don't like is the design.

I feel it's a step back from the Galaxy Nexus.

Otherwise the phone is better in all thinkable aspects.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyprox:
The display is way too big, i think the GNEX is on the edge. Wish it was 4.3" instead
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I don't know... I wish it were a 4.2" or 4.4". But that's just me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hello00:
samsung uses the same thin flexible cheap feeling plastic on the s3 and it makes the phone feel like it cost about $2 whereas the one x is constructed from a single block of polycarbonate plastic that quite simply feels excellent in your hands..the polycarbonate plastic material used on the one x makes it feel far superior..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beeboss:
Bad trolling, try again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zacisblack:
1. Bigger doesn't equal better.

2. I agree, but it's not bad by any means.

3. What curved screen? It's gorilla class 2 and not curved.

4. S-Voice does much more than Siri. Siri can't even perform simple actions such as opening apps.

5. S-Beam and Android Beam are different. After you connect two devices via NFC, the devices connect via Wifi Direct which can transfer content much faster. This is not present on Stock Android 4.0. It could be in the future since the Nexus does support Wifi direct.

6. At least it's smooth.

7. Either that or the menu will pop up on the lower 80px for legacy apps.

8. You're kidding right? Battery life will probably be on par with the One X if not better. How is 2100 mAh bad? You're crazy if you think that's lackluster. It's thinner than the nexus and has a bigger battery? That sounds great to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkgoon3r96:
Hahahahahaaha FEEL?? Yea, because you know how the SIII feels in hands right?!?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkgoon3r96:
I am just stating facts, if you find them sour then ignore them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckoadiyn:
I doubt it will be in par w one x unless its a s4 chip one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iil:
I really like the virtual buttons on the nexus so I'm personally waiting to see what upgrades the next nexus will have....which I hope to hit by years end.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] randomnameftw:
Owning the one x, it definitely is one well built device. Samsung devices (I've owned a gs2) typically have a plastic "cheap" feel to them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyhook:
Someone please lock and delete this thread. If you want a SIII, fine, but I'm sure there are forums for it

Man, i just can't get it do you really think polycarbonate plastic is equal to one used in SIII, moreover one X is built from single block, i think everybody would agree that such construction is more solid. Please explain your position , if your arguments are strong i'll take my words back
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kolyan:
All I can say about "feel" is that Nexus feels good in hand, my Galaxy S (Vibrant) was like **** in hand, I simply could not use that phone without a case. It was slippery and fingerprint magnet. The little time I had with Galaxy 2, I think it was better built then Galaxy 1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zed011:
There's a difference between being very biased and being fair, just because I own a galaxy nexus doesn't mean I go on a rave about how awesome it is ignoring or failing to acknowledge all its downsides.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pwnasaurus:
I absolutely agree. 4.65" is just a tad too big to reach my hand to all corners of the phone comfortably, and I don't have small hands.

Prolly not. Yes. No.

let it be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OniV2:
You're willing to spend top dollar for a device that only offers a few rip-off gimmicks that Google didn't really see necessary for stock ICS. Plus, you're mesmerised by a GPU that only really introduces battery drain to the device. Your Android games aren't going to be any different than on the Nexus, sorry.

Also, that bull**** about low-light shots looking better due to the illuminated camera? Enjoy your marketing hype, you obviously know nothing about photography.

You don't seriously think battery capacity means anything other than having a higher capacity than lithium ion batteries with a lower capacity, do you? Working in conjunction with the specs of the device, 2100mAh is piss poor.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
This thread is irrelevant. This is Galaxy Nexus General. It should be moved to Galaxy S 3 General.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusDro:
Genuine question: why doesn't the illuminated sensor help with low-light shots.

And for the battery life, I think it is going to be better than the nexus. Didn't they use a smaller manufacturing process on this new exynos?
