btw adding to my previous comment:

what i like most about the gs3 is:

1. fast camera (rate of 3.3shots/second)

2. popup play

3. all the gesture functions

4. front design

5. camera face detection

6. smart stay

7. exynos quad

8. wireless charging

9. screen is 0.01ms response speed

10. 2100mah battery

the only reason you guys are dissapointed is the pentile, plastic, and placement of camera/speaker, but not looking at all the new features which honestly makes it much better then the one x.
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
Wtf is wireless charging? :D
[Nexus S General] Shark_On_Land:
Omg I didn't know it has a quad!

But I'm still getting the next iPhone. The iphone 4 came out last year and its still better than most androids. If not all except for the galaxy nexus. But come on they do it right and its always the phone to beat.

But wow 4 cores.
[Nexus S General] mixtapes08:
Seriously why you even still here? Go in your Icrap forum...

ill wait for the next nexus if there will be one
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
I exactly thought the same. But then i watched a unboxing video of the GN... i couldnt resist.. im gonna order one in september... and a jelly bean update is guaranteed so it will at least last 1.5 year :D
[Nexus S General] bsanto9:
Complete dissapointment, were still waiting for full support for dual cores. And Samsung decided to put a quad core exynos, when the dual was amazing. Also when is Samsung going to get the memo, not body wants cheap plastic maybe polycarbonate or something to that effect but HTC and Apple seem to be the only, ones who know how to build a sturdy phone. Maybe Sony and.Nokia aswell
[Nexus S General] FL0OD:
Not a big surprise that this doesn't appeal to Nexus users. I'm not a fan either. That being said everything about that phone says "I'm for the masses" and the gnex, not so much. I think Samsung wanted to make a user friendly phone like the iphone. Steal away some customers from the crapple crowd. To be honest, this looks like it will grab some of those customers. We are not those customers. What I did find funny reading some blogs today was that people were complaining about it having Touchwiz on it. I hope no one here actually thought it wouldn't have that on it. The galaxy s has always been a phone for the masses and this falls right in line with that marketing strategy. Throw a ton of user friendly apps, that will all be available to us soon, make it bright and shiny, and have it come in some groovy colors, and bingo. Not to mention a nice size screen, not to big, not to small. Add to that all the cool kids are using Android now and people are becoming sick of the same old iphone year after year. This is a good play for Samsung. May look like garbage to a lot of us but it will sell very well to masses. Lastly I don't see us getting the quad here in the states. They have borked almost all the quads so far because of the radios here in the US so if you are saving your pennies for one of these because of the quad, don't count on it.

It's so ugly, I can't believe that the editor form Cnet made a comparison with HTC One X and iPhone 4S. And this editor told us S3 got so attractive design. It's the best phone till now. Holy ****! Galaxy S3 totally can be define as a crap because of its ugly home button and back and the shape and the screen.:mad:
[Nexus S General] apatal:
lol...easy, bro. :D

but seriously, my wife has an iPhone and we usually have the debate on which platform/smartphone is better. I usually let her have the last say (as most married men here can probably relate to), but when she wants to have fun, she almost always reach for my Nexus. 'Nuff said.

After seeing pictures of the S3, I became more certain that the GNex will be my next. I'll just wait for the iPhone 5 and S3 to start selling here in the Philippines before buying it so I have something slick and shiny to wipe those stupid holier-than-thou grins in the faces of this early adopters.
[Nexus S General] mixtapes08:
Hehehe. Sorry but that guy is the number 1 troll here in ns forum.

Im kinda dissapointed too in s3. I thought it will be having a recents apps button like the one x. The phone itself is ugly too its like having a large galaxy mini phone... I'll definitely go for gnex just waiting for my backpay this coming June then I'll sell my nexus s to add to my gnex income.
[Nexus S General] apatal:
Awww, you'll be sorely missed here in the NS forum.

Don't worry, I'll join you the GNex forums soon enough. ;)
[Nexus S General] mixtapes08:
Yeah ill miss this phone too... after all this is my 1st android phone :)
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
What's really cute is most of you *****ing about it don't have any intention to import the international version anyway.
[Nexus S General] mixtapes08:
International version will surely be available here in phil..
[Nexus S General] glennkaonang:
My initial thoughts: 4.8 inch PenTile display & physical hardware buttons?

That's just ridiculous compared to the HTC One X.
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
Thats why I said most.
[Nexus S General] apatal:
Don't worry, even if we get it here, only the clueless will go for it, just because it's a supposed upgrade of the s2.
[Nexus S General] vetvito:
Screw the hardware, the new features look great. The gestures, the eye feature and the pop up video feature.
[Nexus S General] handyguy:
I really don't like how it looks, but otherwise when I read the specs and heard some features, before I saw pictures I got quite excited. Once I saw the picture however it really turned me off. Also I don't like Touchwiz and don't understand why they wouldn't tweak it and make it lighter like sense but instead add in so much stuff that they say is innovation.
[Nexus S General] jetpackjeff:
It's ugly and the HTC One X is better. Will probably pick up a Galaxy S2 LTE HD
[Nexus S General] midnightmach:
Anyone else think it looks like a big uncurved Nexus S? I think once I see it in person I'll decide whether I like it or not, for now I still have my eye on a Galaxy Nexus...
[Nexus S General] stellar:
Yep. When I first saw it I thought to myself, wow that looks like a Nexus S and a Galaxy Note had a baby lol
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
The device is great. Beautiful design, different. I guess everybody wants the same thing over and over and over. That and the fact that most people, due to the constant rumors, were expecting the God oh phones. Way too much hype but nowhere near a let down.
[Nexus S General] al_madd:
about TW..dont worry..there is AOSP based ROM such as CM9 AOKP and also MIUI..:D:D

teamhacksung already stated that they will support SGSIII
[Nexus S General] glennkaonang:
Now let's wonder when S Voice would be ported to other capable devices. Any devs interested? :D :D
[Nexus S General] italia0101:
this phone is VERY good...

for those complaing about the gpu ... well, you dont know anything check this out:

[Nexus S General] rasengan82:
Guys we can complain all we want but the matter of fact is this phone will sell like hot pancakes. It will definitely sell much better than the GN and Nexus S combined lol. I will just wait for the next Nexus.
[Nexus S General] Shark_On_Land:
I'm not a troll. I'm a developer. I produce development
[Nexus S General] al_madd:
what have you produce??hahah

The only thing problem with SGSIII is samsung not release all the source...will be difficult for third party dev...
[Nexus S General] bsanto9:
I was wondering will this suffer from the same banding issues and color issues the galaxy nexus does.
[Nexus S General] DocKrazy:
Not sure why every one is putting it down. It seems to have some great advancements and I think the phone looks slick. I can't wait to upgrade my nexus s.
[Nexus S General] teuntje3:
After watching it 10 times I liked it more. The touchwizz looks nice with more ICS than Sense. You like it or you don't.
[Nexus S General] Shark_On_Land:
Brick ROM

Dump of Myns warm twopointtwo theme.

Best ROM. But thats still in development. Its the best ROM for our phone. Best in everything.

Few more things I cant remember ATM
[Nexus S General] Shark_On_Land:
And no. The only phone for me is the iPhone.

But i f I had to buy another Android it will only be a nexus.

Who remembers when evo users had no root? That lasted 6 months!

I will never want to worry about losing root. Thus the nexus is the only Google phone I will ever buy.
[Nexus S General] mixtapes08:
LMFAO :D
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
Trolling in the deeeeééppppp :D
[Nexus S General] rickballs:
Well put. I'll stick with my nexus s sgs3 looks too generic.
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
Yepp. I am getting a Gnex soon! First i gotta sell my NS :D
[Nexus S General] al_madd:
Why choose gnex? From.my opinion gnex is a little bit flop...
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
Omfg... no no no I will never buy another phone than a NEXUS from GOOGLE. And it is not a flop.. believe me!!! It will be my best android xperience :D
[Nexus S General] MattyOnXperiaX10:
Tell me...how dumb can you get. Putting a really small battery in a 4.6" Gnex. Reason i didn't buy it. Bought a RAZR maxx instead
[Nexus S General] adrynalyne:
Fitting that a locked down battery is in a locked down phone.
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
Carrier version of gnex sucks ass. Only reason to even consider one now period is 400 dollars for off contract pentaband phone ain't bad.
[Nexus S General] mossy1963:
@thegtfusion

and you've been using one for how long?........

oh I forgot....it isn't out yet

what a completely lame thread
[Nexus S General] mixtapes08:
Please read again before giving bad comment. He actually means the look of the phone not what it can do..
[Nexus S General] DeuXGod:
at first I thought it was ugly, but after seeing some more photos I actually started to enjoy it. Let's face it, ugly our not, it's the best phone you can get at this moment

[Nexus S General] Harbb:
Positives:

-Epic CPU

-Definitely good enough GPU

-8MP is plenty for a phone camera, particularly if this surprise CMOS (and lens) is good, though i'd put money on HTC for a better job here

-SDCard slot

-Light sensor is on the right side where it belongs, rotating is much less painful

-Always liked this button layout with the hardware home button

-Pretty (it's practically a big nexus s with a hardware home button)

Negatives:

-1GB RAM. I was hoping for at least 1.5GB for this one

-No dedicated multitasking button, this is where on screen buttons win hands down

-Probably plastic-y, might have good build but still nothing like HTCs offerings

-Touchwiz..

-It's HUGE. Personal preference, but it's not for me. Galaxy Nexus has the same problem

I like it. Slightly disappointed that it's pentile and only has 1GB RAM, and that it's HUGE (this was a given, not really a con per se). Shape is really nice, looks just like a big Nexus S. It's too big though. Also, i've yet to come across one of these shiny touchscreens with infinite reception like my old nokia bricks. 2G has trouble on most of these once reception isn't at its peak and they all share this same con. I'm personally not an AMOLED fan either.

I'd say the HTC One series wins this round, but only just. Now someone make all of this smaller, i don't want to carry around a tablet.
[Nexus S General] GianFahmi:
s3? that's an awesome phone with new inovation feature

i like the wireless charging

but..

the design not catch my attention.. -___-
[Nexus S General] davidsteele1975:
I'm pretty much in the same boat, Harbb; I try not to point and laugh at niche-user people belittling a mass market product.

I expect my network to sell shed loads of these and with good reason.

I'd have one if it didn't make me feel inferior. ;) It's bigger than the already big Galaxy Nexus and HTC One X. Huge. Too big for my pockets.

As for making it smaller, I suspect that for most people, something like the Xperia P will be just as handy but uses a 4.0" screen rather than a 4.8" screen. It's a mid-range device, sure... There are reasons why I like my Nexus S and the size of the device is a main one.
[Nexus S General] :
My next benchmark: Are Eggs Too Wide?
[Nexus S General] Harbb:
I'm not sure where many people are coming from saying it's ugly or something ridiculous, especially in the Nexus S forums. It's practically the same as a Nexus S. Wouldn't this thing be just that much more awesome if it was the size though? CPU architecture and pixel size are getting smaller by the month and for some reason the manufacturers are showing off bigger and bigger screens. Maybe let the technology mature enough to fit most of this in a smaller case? It hasn't even been 12 months since the SGS2 was released. I'm sure many will agree, especially since very few phone applications will need more than 4 cores in a current phones lifetime.

My comment was not to say that there will be many people who will be very happy with the size, whether it be because of larger hands or predominately tablet-like use. It was more saying that if it was a size that i would deem practical for most, including the more technically inclined, IMO it would be a wiser decision (and also because i'd be the first to buy one :D).
[Nexus S General] davidsteele1975:
Yes. It's ironic that Nexus S users are unhappy about shiny plastic cases and curves when that's what the Nexus S has. Okay, okay sure; progress. We need to touchy-feely the S III. And although my Nexus S doesn't feel as premium as something metallic and glass, I don't lovingly fondle my premium devices*, I use 'em.

Our demo Samsung handsets are appalling because the back is so flexible that the security mounts bend them (potential customers pull the devices off, the back flexes and the alarm goes off) but there's never any issue with the back in daily use. And the backs never ever break.

*if it's that premium, it would lovingly fondle me back, ya know? :p

At the moment I'm torn between:

* doing nothing and keeping the Nexus S (maybe stag the SGS III).

* buying a used and unwanted SGS II from somebody upgrading to the SGS III.
[Nexus S General] stellar:
Make sure to add in those ostriche eggs ;D
[Nexus S General] Shark_On_Land:
I think this phone should keep touch wiz if rooted.

I'm sure all of these features only stay with TW. like the "screen on, as long as your eyes are"

The GS III is the thing of elegant beauty. Fits perfectly in your palm. And omg, the shear power. If no better device comes out by October when my NS contract expires, I'm so getting it.

What's ugly about it?
[Nexus S General] Shark_On_Land:
I feel just now android has came to a point where its on for the masses without rooting.

like if I was a baller. I would leave it stock.
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
Warning. Rant.

Samsung and HTC got it right with their new devices that launched with ics. Google on the other hand is just flat out stupid with the gnex and I applaud these two oems for not following Google's lead. The gnex with its on screen buttons is just flat out retarded. Make a huge phone with 4.65 inch 720p screen. Ok , I can see that. Make said screen waste so many pixels on stupid on screen buttons. No. Only way it could be justified it the phone actually did not have space on the bottom for the buttons. But nope. Its there with just a notification light.

On the topic of those buttons. Wasting one of them for a recent apps button! Fail. Wasted screen space and no menu key just to get rid of holding the home button. End up with menu icons all over the place now in the apps..

The gnex IMHO sucks. The only good thing about it is that it is a nexus. Well some of them.

Can't wait to see if google admits its on screen buttons is a fail or if they continue to push it on their next nexus phone.
[Nexus S General] cdljl2005:
Over-performanced and I really don't like pentile.
[Nexus S General] LordPhong:
I agree with albundy2010. I'm not a big fan of the on screen buttons. It's a waste of screen real estate.

I personally like the design of the S3 but not the back of the phone in three quarters view.

1. Smart stay is a gimmick. I question how well it will work in dim lit environments. I often use my phone in complete darkness but Screebl does the trick fine.

2. TW screems iphone + widgets. I will definitely be putting Apex on that mofo

3. Although the camera is capable of 1080p 30fps and 17mbps, I hate the shutter lag. The love the H1X quick shutter.

Despite the shortcomings list this will probably be my next phone. I doubt the next Nexus will have much better hardware.
[Nexus S General] niteh@wk:
I don't particularly like the design of the gnex either. But I do like the on-screen buttons for several reasons. Physical hard buttons do wear out and go bad. Capactive buttons like the NS lit up so there's a bit of battery consumption there. I'm using aokp rom and it has customizable on-screen buttons. I do like having the power button on it, saving the physical power button from going dead.
[Nexus S General] Warren_Orange:
Omg get with the program dude. On screen buttons rock and are here to stay. Get used to it already.
[Nexus S General] FL0OD:
Couple of things. By the time we see this phone in the states it won't have that menu button in the middle. It will be straight capacitive buttons all across. It's funny to read a lot of these posts, gnex vs sg3. They are completely different phones marketed for different users. With the gnex, you are a nexus user or you aren't. With the Nexus line what you get in the box is never anywhere near what the phone can do, or be. If you leave your Nexus stock and unrooted you should just buy another phone right out of the gate. The sg3 on the other hand is made for the masses. That's not a bad thing but if this phone appeals to you I can't imagine why you would even like the gnex. It's touchwized out and chuck full of S series software. The complete opposite of what the Nexus line stands for. These are totally different devices made for totally different consumers. Like I had mentioned in a previous thread, if the sg3 is your phone, enjoy. I will be running jelly bean, then whatever is next on my gnex while sg3 users are crying for updates and skins for Touchwiz.

On screen buttons here to stay eh. Two biggest oems launch new 4.0 devices with traditional buttons.

Buttons are here to stay.
[Nexus S General] surveysays:
im the same way.. so so only thing that really matters to me is the specs as im not going to be using the phone in the same 'matter' as sammy or any manufacture envisioned. with my upgrade coming in aug , i think its prob best if i just wait for the new nexus later this year.
[Nexus S General] Solarian:
I was pretty disappointed by the fact that they went with the quad core instead of waiting a bit for the Exynos 5250 dual. I was also disappointed by the fact that it stayed a pentile screen, as opposed to going to a true RGB.

With that being said, the GNex is the biggest, most disappointing piece of turd I've ever laid eyes on. I would've been a LOT more pissed about the S3 sucking as much as it does, if the GNex hadn't set the bar so damn low. I'm sorry but I'm not big on the whole "experience" thing. This is why I didn't buy an iPhone. I want straight specs. Give me numbers. Sure, the S3 is kind of a weak step forward, but at least it's a step forward. The GNex was a STEP BACK! All I asked of it was to match the damn S2. It was ****tier, than a phone that had been out for a half a year! How do you even do that? How do you make something less good, than something we already have?

Anyway... yea... September, A15 based phones. I can't wait.
[Nexus S General] stellar:
There's more to a phone than straight specs lol Please tell me how the GNex is a step backwards from the GS2?

-720p screen

-LED

-Way better design

Yeah the camera isn't as great but the difference isn't that much from what I've seen. Please just tell me how its a step down, don't say "ohh it has no exynos" or "the gpu is ancient". You're over exaggerating.
[Nexus S General] Shark_On_Land:
This is so stressful. I have an iPhone and that's it. I don't have to worry about upgrades springing up.

what do you do with your phone that requires the latest and greatest? is it saving your life? sucking your ****? feeding your kids? you seriously get that disapointed over a phone? lol wow and GN pwns gs2 any day of the week nub
[Nexus S General] TH3JUNK13:
LMAO! that's funny as hell man! what's going to happen to xda when someone releases a phone that does all that stuff? :D

I would have bought a GN if it weren't for the lack of physical or capacitive keys (seems like a waste of screen space?) but the SGS3 actually looks pretty impressive to my eyes, and I never liked TW but it seems like it had a pretty good upgrade, if I buy one I might actually try it out stock for a while!

..... not a long while though... a week maybe :cool:
[Nexus S General] Solarian:
I can't address this concern without saying those things. To some of us that care about specs, a weaker SoC is a really big deal. It's a true deal breaker actually. That's like saying that a computer with an i5 is not a downgrade on an i7 of the same generation. The Exynos 4210 in the S2 straight romps on every other phone, these are facts.

As for the so called upgrades, 720p screen that looks like **** compared to the S2's lower resolution screen. The GNex screen in person is really bad, it looks like a bigger Nexus S screen.

LED? What the actual ****? I don't even know what you were trying to say with this.

Way better design is subjective, I don't agree with you on this count.

Well, one, when I buy a phone, I want it to be the latest and greatest. Why is none of your business. Because I want it, that's ****ing why.

As for GN "pwns" GS2 any day of the week... Please kill or castrate yourself, so that my offspring won't have the misfortune of sharing resources with idiots like yourself. I actually did think about giving you a real, logical explanation, but you don't seem to have the mental capacity to understand it, so I gave you that bit of advice instead ;)
[Nexus S General] resetreflectt:
