[Galaxy S III General] xath23:
Pretty much agree. I think the phone looks pretty decent, then again the whole zen theming is kinda my thing anyway, so I might be kinda biased. Also I really don't understand whats the problem with the homekey, I actually MUCH prefer having a real homekey than onscreen buttons... They take up screen space cause burn in and I hit them by accident ALL THE TIME.

The screen is a bit of a letdown but I think AMOLED HD+ is just not ready yet and with that resolution pentile isn't that much of a problem. Also once you go AMOLED you can never go back, those washed out blacks on an LCD are just unaccaptable for me..

People were expecting WAY too much. If they really did use a ceramic body people would complain about the pricing because it would be a hell lot more expensive. The hardware in this phone is very good ,zero shutter lag and the improved camera software are really great and some of the gimmicks look really practical (I can see me use popup play all the time). Oh and btw. with the tiny camera sensors in smartphones image quality will actually get worse by bumping up the Megapixel count, but I guess people will never understand that..

TouchWiz is not the most beautiful launcher out there, but it is one of the smoothest (the new version looks even smoother) and I find alot more appealing than Sense. Sense is actually one of the reasons I'd never get a HOX along with the poor unreplacable battery and the lack of an mircrosd card slot.

Once it hits the shelves I'm sure people will stop complaining and see what a nice device samsung has made here. It is not a revolutionary update but it is a pretty good update and I will use it until the next S phone comes out or if the other companies will come to their senses and give us back microsd card slots and removable batteries.
[Galaxy S III General] funb0b:
Same here, personally I love the look, what were HTC thinking with the no SD or replaceable battery.

What happens in a year or so when all the batteries start falling over!
[Galaxy S III General] Venekor:
I think this version of Touchwiz looks the best personally and I love the new icon style, it feels much more like Ubuntu or something.

The features in Touchwiz though just make it much better than stock ICS, that is if they work...
[Galaxy S III General] brutoid:
Yep, i'm bored of the iphone look and welcome change.
[Galaxy S III General] jonny68:
Well said folks and i agree totally, look forward to getting this phone :)
[Galaxy S III General] yatbond:
Can't agree more. The pebble blue looks great. The only thing I still worry is the battery life. I hope it is better than gs2 with the 2000 mah battery. I have been spoiled.
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
Having read the"designed by lawyers" article I'm buying just to laugh at Apple as they scratch their heads over what to sue for this time! And I like the look and I bet it gets a big female following too :)
[Galaxy S III General] Gnarfsan:
I think it looks great and possibly even better when you get it in your hands. And it's a distinct samsung design. They have a good brand and it's time to trust in it, I think.
[Galaxy S III General] Toss3:
I for one did not like the design one bit when I first saw it, but then it kind of grew on me, and I've now pre-ordered two. The whole "designed for humans" slogan didn't make much sense to me, but after actually taking the time to investigate the shape of the sgs3 up close, it dawned on me just how comfortable the thing will be in your hands. The iPhone 4/4S is in my opinion absolutely horrible when it comes to ergonomics, and the SGS2 does not win any prizes in that category either, and now Samsung has designed an ergonomically sensible phone that will fit into your hand perfectly, and thus has been designed with human use in mind. Instead of just having something pretty to look at, like the post 3GS iPhones have been, we now have something that'll be comfortable to handle and hold for long periods of time.

I for one can't wait to get my hands on my new phones! :cool:
[Galaxy S III General] Elite49:
Will buying depending on when its released for us. I do hope a Bigger battery comes out around release with it being a slim 2700 or even 3000 would be amazing. Add a little bit to the phone and its fine.
[Galaxy S III General] mwatson:
I think it looks ok.. Nothing really to dislike. I would say the Samsung widgets could do with some attention. The widgets on my sgs2 are inconsistent. Look at the agenda widget next to the clock. It looks like they have been downloaded from different developers. If they had made the widgets look consistent that would be an improvement. Look at sense for example. The widgets are slick.

The weather widget on the sgs3 is ugly and won't really fit with many wallpapers.
[Galaxy S III General] thebobp:
I find this quote applicable:

Which is not to say I agree with him on the S3's "beauty" and "falling in love", but that a lot of the reactionary crap spouted here was just because people hate change. The same thing happens everytime facebook makes a major UI change, then people get used to it. Given this, there is a minor irony in that "sheep" thing.
[Galaxy S III General] ekjl:
I honestly don't know why there is so much backlash on the design. It looks great!

The ugliest phone this generation has got to be the Nokia Lumia series.
[Galaxy S III General] CaliCal:
1. rear flash and speakers. way too exposed

2. not a big deal but it does bother me. just make it smaller.

3. home button. if they kept curve on both sides the same it would look like the shape of the phone, it would look nicer.

4. curves too much and looks like the top part is also smaller...should be the other way around if you want to save the phone from dropping.

5. size. for people who wants a bigger screen. that's where the Note comes in. but for a phone to use with one handedly and with the thumb. it say it's too big for the majority.

might change my mind later down the road, who knows.

prob still get it, just to toy around and its newer but not for full price.
[Galaxy S III General] eksasol:
The front is very identical to Nexus devices which I like, but the back is quite metrosexual, they should have given its some pattern, which would help with grip too. I guess they'll be some custom back cover for it. It would have looked nicer with the curved body.

I just bought a Nexus instead, so if anyone asked me what it is, I'll say its the new SIII: http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/2707/nexuss3k.jpg

Will wait till Christmas and get myself a global SIII when it lowered price after the American versions are released. Hopefully the price lowered as fast of a rate as the Nexus, by $350 after six months, but unlikely this time as quadcore is still new and S series is popular.
[Galaxy S III General] ph00ny:
Don't forget, there were quite a few complaints about the S2 when it came out.

Same exact comparisons were made against the sensation

I do like most of the external design except for the rear battery cover. Maybe someone would make a nice replacement cover that's less slippery
[Galaxy S III General] boodies:
I disagree with the op,

I think this phone will indeed win in the looks department. Like i said before I was too overhyped initially. Expecting it to be made with T1000 metal with Phasers shooting out the side. Now, I can see that it's one of the most beautiful minimalist phones ever made. I think it will win in the aesthetic category.
[Galaxy S III General] diehard2222:
Lmao. That would be pretty hilarious.
[Galaxy S III General] vinuneuro:
The rear cover is just awful. Glossy and no texture will make for a horrible phone to hold. I hope there will be some good replacement covers available if I get this.
[Galaxy S III General] Backe888:
Yea, the glossy thing isnt realy good. Fingerprints and scratches are inevitable. And a case? How big will it be then?
[Galaxy S III General] talisin:
well i liked the look of it that much i waited a month to see what this is like (could have upgraded to the one X a month ago) but coming from a desire i didnt like the fact that its hardly changed from the sensation, i would have expeceted HTC to of brought out a new design for the "flag ship" phone.

as others have said in other threads between this and the one x is too close to call, but i went off HTC after they ditched support for the desire after a year, so time to try another company, i liked the look of the S2 so i think the S3 will preform well especially when a few roms come out :)
[Galaxy S III General] Venekor:
Samsung's software looks much better too, just so many nice features they've added.
[Galaxy S III General] laztpn0i:
I really like the design from the FRONT! Now the backside is whole different story! Ill keep it at that!:)
[Galaxy S III General] Venekor:
Good the screen isn't on the back then!
[Galaxy S III General] paintball23456:
totally agree with this the moaning is coming from htc fanboys

just look at the one X its crap the gpu in the sgs2 is the doing slightly worse by like 1% as for the moaners that are crying there eyes out about it being pentile

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yuwEY2lA_Y look at this clearly seen is that the pentile is deeper(mota droid razr) than the samsung droid charge on the left with the "+" display

the design in not samsungs fault its apples fault the phone was designed by lawyers not the design team apple cant target samsung now cos there is nothing to sew for

the plastic on the phone is very tough you can play football with it and it will be ok:D also combined with the gg2 this phone should feel very solid in the hand

samsung have something up there sleeve with the pentile...............
[Galaxy S III General] jasbur17:
I plan on getting the wireless charging kit. That is supposed to use a replacement back cover that some speculate will be rubberized in some way.
[Galaxy S III General] paintball23456:
me to it will be rubberized to grip the charging platform also should make it feel much higher end my galaxy s i9000 creeks when i grip it the s2 and s3 dont:D
[Galaxy S III General] Chicken Nugget(s):
Please use punctuation...my brain hurts...
[Galaxy S III General] boodies:
in every comparison test i read between this and the one x in ergonomics, every one chose the gs3 as the better "feel in hand."

http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-versus-htc-one-x
[Galaxy S III General] paintball23456:
hahaha I will next time indeed not easy typing on the iPad.

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 PM ----------

Haha so much for how the one X "feel's in the hand" lol and people say the galaxy S3 is cheap rubbish:cool::D

galaxy s3 is the best phone out atm till the galaxy s4 comes out.period
[Galaxy S III General] cmd512:
It'll look even better after I customize it with my own case!

(Really don't get all the whining and moaning over the exterior of the phone itself...)
[Galaxy S III General] NIK516:
So refreshing reading a topic full of positive posts .

I also thought the s3 was a disappointed at first looks wise . But then it started to grow on me and now I really like it and will be getting it when it comes to australia.

Also I can't wait to try the mirror feature on my Samsung TV. When that happens the ipad is going on eBay.

I love my galaxy nexus but the gs3 just has what I want better camera , louder speaker and a hardware home button. Typing is a little annoying on the galaxy nexus , I always hit the home button.

Good work Sammy , thank you for listening to us and not making another iPhone lookalike :)
[Galaxy S III General] ph00ny:
Note's text looks sharper than the SII and it is noticeably sharper in real life as well

Is that what you were asking?
[Galaxy S III General] BarryH_GEG:
And it would appear to be using a new design language for Samsung. If all their phones start sharing the same basic design it becomes "theirs" vs. "someone elses" (hint). Does anyone know what happened to Chris Bangle after BMW? ;)

---------- Post added at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

The three most detailed and respected sources for benchmarks are Anandtech, GSMArena, and SweDroid. Here's a comparison that includes the SGS2. It beats the One X in only one test; browser benchmarks. That's because Samsung does a fantastic job with h/w acceleration and HTC's stock browsers are pretty much crap. If you ran the test with an ICS SGS2 and One X using Chrome Beta you'd get a far different result. Same thing once the devs get under the hood.

As for the GPU, you have to adjust for screen size and pixel count. The PPI for the SGS2 is 218. It's 312 for the One X. So the GPU is pushing 31% more pixels in the One X. If you reduce the SGS2's score by 31% it gets 35 in NenaMark vs. 47.5 for the One X. So the enhanced Mali in the SGS3's great but it's pushing even more pixels than the One X so any GPU comparisons to phones with non-HD displays are pretty much irrelevant.

This was GSMArena’s conclusion on the One X GPU…

"The 3D graphics department is handled by NVIDIA's own GeForce GPU. On the HD screen of the One X it did 47+ fps, while the Adreno 25 inside the One S does 60 fps but on a qHD display, which has just 33% fewer pixels. This means the ULP GeForce GPU does better than the Adreno 225 in terms of pure power."

[Galaxy S III General] daperl:
Have you ever held a Lumia 800 in your hand? Thought so.
[Galaxy S III General] Venekor:
The Note is Pentile isn't it?

So I think that is proof that you don't need to worry about the screen quality compared to the GS2, looks like PPI on the S3 will make it look even better too.
[Galaxy S III General] Venekor:
Thing about this though is it's all theory because you cannot buy a phone and say the hardware is great and would run better if there was less pixels........ you've bought the phone and aren't going to be using that hardware on another screen.

Same with Software too, people said just buy a GS2 and them get a custom rom.... in reality every custom rom I used was **** and buggy and I just ended up sticking with Touchwiz.

Buy the phone for what it is and not the promise of what it could possibly do.
[Galaxy S III General] ph00ny:
Yes it is
[Galaxy S III General] tonydevon:
Luv my S2 BUT

I have really enjoyed the look and feel of my S2 but since looking at pictures of the S3 against the S and Ace even the HTC one, I think what a wonderful fresh look to a phone, Jaws will drop when they see it in your hand
[Galaxy S III General] MaesterB:
I think the design looks just fine. It doesn't really have to be flashy and spectacular, and have strobe lights, and lots of chrome, brushed metal, or ceramic backing.

I'm coming from a SGS. Anything is a step up.

HOWEVER, I will say that the ONLY way I will stay with TouchWiz is that IF a lot of the gesture-based stuff is solely built into TouchWiz.

Otherwise, I'm sticking NovaLauncher Prime on it, and away we go!

Still debating, though, between the White and the Blue.
[Galaxy S III General] ekjl:
I don't even know what that's suppose to prove. It's still ugly.

Has all the people who claims the SGS3 is ugly held the phone in their hand? Thought so.

Lumia is "butt ugly".
[Galaxy S III General] pewpewbangbang:
Lumia is probably one of the nicest designed phones out there.....too bad it'd running windows phone.

Sgs 3 is butt ugly IMO. The white one grows on you a little bit its still just awkward looking. I've had the galaxy s, s2 and galaxy nexus and galaxy nexus is probably one of the nicest designs also.
[Galaxy S III General] Reckless187:
I'd say Samsung have something up their sleeve with a non Pentile, Super Amoled Plus HD screen. Just not for the SIII Unfortunately.

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9500_fraser-4752.php

A 4.65" super Amoled Plus screen with a 1280 x 720 resolution, just not in an Android phone, but in one with their own software...
[Galaxy S III General] ph00ny:
Have you ever held Galaxy S3 in your hand?

Thought So:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] vinnyjr:
Love it, great specs, looks and it will be a long time before that phone is out dated. Samsung is a hackers dream phone. No locked down bootloader to deal with. The Devs will love working with it. I'll be getting one but will keep my Rezound as well. The Rezound IMO is the best phone in Verizon inventory and feels good in the hand.

Vinny
[Galaxy S III General] stierney:
Bet its 'cheap nasty' plastics perform well in drop tests though. I have no issues with plastics. They are rugged and I prefer durability and light weight to looking good.

I've just rolled out iPhone 4s's to our sales guys (not my choice) and it seems all u have to do is fart with it in your back pocket and the glass cracks.
[Galaxy S III General] bbeelzebub:
I think the phone looks better than usual for Samsung. In fact, it went straight to the top of the two devices in the running for next phone.

I also think stock Android is ugly beyond belief. This version of touchwiz doesn't look bad either. (I still prefer Sense). That being said, they touched all the right areas as far as removable battery and SD Card. I can't complain about that.
[Galaxy S III General] gaspernemec:
Couldnt agree more with you....idc if i have cheramic plate, glass window, or plastic brick inside my pocket as long as features overweight it....and yet another plus for plastic is that its cheap and easilly replacable.....i thought that phone ie ugly as well until gsmarena posted unboxing video in which i realised how new and beautiful the new design is :)......i think that it will be a great phone and all plan b rumors are just nonsense
[Motorola Photon 4G] 10-Dee-Q:
hi, I'm looking to buy a 64GB MicroSDXC card

do they compatible with photon ?

can anybody who have them give some inputs ?

thank you.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MooseV2:
No, the Photon only supports microSDHC, and like you said, the 64gb (also, anything over 32gb) is classified as microSDXC.

32gb + 16gb internal should be more than enough anyways, provided you use it wisely.

If you absolutely NEED that amount of space, some users were able to use the Photon as a USB host and attach an external USB flash stick using a special USB-F-MicroUSB-M
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
I've seen a couple reports that they work fine on the Photon, but more that they don't. And the Droid4 and Bionic are reported to work.

http://androidforums.com/4154544-post320.html

https://forums.motorola.com/posts/325391028d?start=16&stop=30

The current 64GB cards are generally backwards compatible with SDHC in a lot of devices.

http://pocketnow.com/android/how-well-are-android-phones-handling-64gb-sdxc-memory-cards

I have a Sandisk 64 card - haven't tried it in my Photon, but it works fine in my Xoom and Cowon J3 MP3 player (linux).

So, I don't know for sure. (My Photon battery cover plastic clips won't take too many more removals or I'd try it)
[Motorola Photon 4G] iEatRappers:
I got my mom a 64gb sandisk mobile utra microsd card and its works perfectly.She uses the microsd for music and so far she hasnt had any problems.

http://www.sandisk.com/products/mob...crosdhc-and-microsdxc-uhs-i-cards-for-android

the 64GB is the exact one I got her.
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
Cool - good to know, thanks for the post.

I figured it would work fine in the Photon since it seems to work in about everything else with a SDHC 3.0 compatible slot.

And I got my spare battery cover via eBay today, so may try it soon.

- - and to "MooseV2" that said "no", please do your research in the future before making broad statements; TIA! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] ZeroManArmy:
Make sure your format the card using the phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
I have SanDisk Mobile Ultra 64Gb and so far, so good BUT.........I rarely have anything on it. I use ZumoCast to access all my music, photos, documents on my desktop at home? If Im doing a Server upgrade or something, I'll drag a few movies to card, but other than that, empty!
[Motorola Photon 4G] jharre08:
Everything I have read points to the 64GB working perfectly as long as you format it in the phone (FAT32)
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
format /fs:NTFS x: (where 'X' is whatever drive your computer assigned it!)
[Motorola Photon 4G] casawimill:
Yea it works, I have a 64GB micro sd card. You will have to insert it and go to storage and reformat the sd card while its in the Photon and it will work. I get 60GB out of the 64GB

This looks like a good price for a class 6 card.

http://amzn.com/B005V7WIA2

Has anyone used a class 10? Is it worth it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
Read back, reading is.....never mind. Your correct, $64 is good price as I paid $99 from newegg. I had 32Gb class 10, I saw no difference, so o went back to sandisk 32Gb class 6, better speed!
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
Let me better explain my "No big difference, so I went back" comment. I had a 16Gb SanDisk Class 4, I was happy. I got 32Gb SanDisk Class 6 for $100.00 and I was happy. I got Komputer 32Gb Class 10 for @ the same. When I compared them read/write, depending on what I was reading or writing, the SanDisk was either faster OR not that far behind, so I went back to SanDisk for the realiabilaty. I now have 64Gb SanDisk Class 6 and I'm happy (Kinda of, there is nothing on it? I either use Google or ZumoCast to acces my desktop at home?)

My suggestion, look for stability, look at the reviews where people smarter than I have done extensive testing. Not all chips are alike. Also, look at your needs. If you take a ton of pictures or video, I assume you would need high write speed. If your a gamer, I assume you would need high read speeds? Just me!
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Thanks for the further explanation! I'll probably just pick up the class 6. It's getting rave reviews on Amazon. :)
[HTC Sensation] ramy_shinoda:
I'm running coindroid 1.1.0 its great but suddenly my sensation start to restart when I receive a call or try to make a call and it keep restart on its own what's the reason ? And what should I do ?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Maybe it's a rogue mod.

Try reflashing the ROM only.

This will keep your apps,data,and settings,but clear out all your mods.

Try it like that for a while,and see.

:)
[HTC Sensation] ramy_shinoda:
I don't know it is working good now but it suddenly stops and begin to restart thnx anyway dude ^_^
[HTC Sensation] kfhughes:
If you do reflash, and set up your Google account, be sure to unclick the automatic backup. Otherwise it will download all your apps from google play again. Just to keep you from accidentally running an app which might be causing part of the problem :)
