Agreed. It's probably also why Samsung finally got rid of that ugly hump in the back of the phone... with the overall rounder shape, SGS3 should feel more ergonomic than previous "square-ish" designs.even without that "ergonomic hump."
[Galaxy S III General] XDA mark:
+5

Awesome picture on first post, I'm saving it. Side by side like this you really see how beautiful the S3 is (plus you seen stock ICS on the screens, which also makes it so much more to my liking)

And to the OP: thanks for this list. Very nice ;)
[Galaxy S III General] funb0b:
I hope the OP doesn't mind I took this from their first post, I wanted to highlight it as I missed it first time round. Perhaps others have.

Just really made me chuckle :D (The guys sounds like Seth Rogen to me)

my bad I was mean to put in "in-call sound equalizer" not Dedicated mic
[Galaxy S III General] kingnaldo28:
how much the improve?

I get that the s III is better than the S II, but how much better, $300 dollar better, because is the cost difference right now.
[Galaxy S III General] cyprusx:
hmm id say its about $268.67 better but cant be sure
[Galaxy S III General] GS3Central:
very nice post

Very nice summary!
[Galaxy S III General] Smartie36:
Damn, was hoping the rumours about a 2 speaker setup was correct! For such an expensive phone it should have stereo speakers imo, my nokia 5800 xpress music phone puts the s2 & s3 to shame in terms of sound playback quality through the speakers!

To have 1 mono speaker on a phone costing 500 quid is crazy, especially considering the media capabilites of smartphones like this!
[Galaxy S III General] kilometers4:
I'll wait for the s4 :)
[Galaxy S III General] Killa357:
Look at the bottom right corner of a person's comment block, there is a hand with a thumb up that says "THANKS." That should do it.

EDIT: Wow, didn't see this is 10 pages long already. I'm sure someone already answered his question by now... oops.
[Galaxy S III General] DangKid:
Barometer sensor

Lolwut? Does this have a real barometer inside? Because that would be extra sweet.
[Galaxy S III General] r3vo:
I hope GS3 doesn't have low light recording issue like GS2...that sucked bigtime!
[Galaxy S III General] ph00ny:
Both Galaxy Note and Galaxy Nexus came with a barometer
[Galaxy S III General] Landorin:
the Xoom as well. Quite nice, all you need is a barometer app. ;)

Amazing how they squished in so much technology in overall into such a little device. Imagine how large a desktop PC is compared to that. 20 years ago people would have called this pure scifi. :D
[Galaxy S III General] Zerono:
It has a lot of cool new features over the GS2 and it looks better too. Don't think I should pay $800 to break my contract and get it though.
[Galaxy S III General] n-j-f:
Hot swapping microSD card is a bonus feature.
[Galaxy S III General] hextence:
Samsung included all this but couldn't fit a tiny notification led eh?:p

[Galaxy S III General] SiNJiN76:
The S3 has one.
[Galaxy S III General] hextence:
It does?? Nice! This is an improvement worth mentioning.

Sent from my GT-I9000
[Galaxy S III General] ph00ny:
It looked like it was a decent size too
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
OP did mention it.
[Galaxy S III General] hextence:
Oh right. The LED indicator. Must have missed it between so many things :p
[Galaxy S III General] samaxen:
VODOO Support as WELL

The one I would like to say this phone will also support VoDoo a good improvement over Galaxy SII

Really Good post. All the features are small improvements over Galaxy SII. That makes it quite good to read. The only disadvantage i see is the Pentile display.
[Galaxy S III General] sun-drop:
has the internal memory lay out changed too from the S2?

shows just a "device memory" vs a "sd card"

where as we know, on the s2, you had actual physical internal memory separated into two separate pools , "internal storage" and "usb storage" ...

or have i messed that up ..
[Galaxy S III General] bocautrang.pt:
How about camera? Really good?
[Galaxy S III General] eksasol:
It doesn't have as good aperture nor focal length as the One X;

S3: 37mm, f/2.6

OneX: 22mm, f/2

(For those who don't know, lower = better, better aperture gives in more light, and better focal length gives wider view).

So spec wise the One X camera wins hand down, its probably one of the best in term of spec for cellphone camera. However, I felt HTC use too much post processing for their images which add artifacts and I'm not the only one to say that.

But the S3 has a fast shutter and the test results seems excellent.

I don't care really, S2, S3, OneX all have great camera for me as far as cellphone quality.

The One X front camera is 1.3MP vs S3 1.9MP. Also OneX has benefit of taking photo while video recording.
[Galaxy S III General] ph00ny:
Camera quality isn't just based on optics. Camera sensor is also important.

Currently there isn't much information available on the sensor used in the S3 but it seems to be better than the sensor used in the S2 based on a few comparison shots (S2 sensor is used in HOX)
[Galaxy S III General] eksasol:
I know, I was very impressed with the S3 quality, it look even better than the iPhone 4S, but the I consider iPhone camera software/GUI to be useless regardless of the hardware.
[Galaxy S III General] radeonxt:
regarding taking photo while video recording, i think i remember a poster saying sgs3 does that and another poster saying hox does that too.

so i think both does that.
[Galaxy S III General] cyprusx:
Hey guys iv updated The video :)
[Galaxy S III General] Gene_Bailey:
And you would be right. Both the HOX and the SGSIII can take video and high def stills at the same time. However no one has said whether the SGSIII can also do the same when looking at a video later on, like the HOX can. Gotta say, the more I see the White SGSIII, the more its physical design grows on me. I love the White HOX with a passion design-wise, but aside from its design.. I'm getting tired of all the trouble that comes when attempting to root an HTC and such. Dealing with S-OFF/S-ON restrictions is a pain the a** to an extent that I don't ever want to buy another until it's fixed..

I really think that the main selling point of this phone (for me personally) is the fact that, as a Samsung phone, it basically has this gigantic neon sign over it screaming "YOU CAN FULLY HACK ME!" into the darkness that buying an HTC product creates. Can't wait to see MIUI running on this thing..

Just hand-on S3 yesterday. Feel better than imagine ( through pics ). Almost things are impress. Fast, smooth and cooler than S2/Note. I wish plastic housing/cover and display panel better. Pink and gray tint :D
[Galaxy S III General] Becoming:
When you say cooler, do you mean it physically doesn't get as warm when running intensive apps? If so, that's great.
[Galaxy S III General] Zanr Zij:
Turn on GPS, 3G, motion, bluetooth, wifi direct, enable almost new features ( accept NFC, Allcast ) and play Alsphat HD about 30 mins. Max temp = 43 degrees. Ambient = 33-34 degrees!

When I do something with wifi only ( surf net, facebook... ), max temp = 38 degrees under same ambient temp!

Physically! According Battery Monitor Widget Pro newest ver!
[Galaxy S III General] Becoming:
That is fantastic!

This is a really good post! I actually clipped the list to my Evernote so that I can recite it to people when they ask me what's so good about my new phone! It's happened once already, and I was like "Um, well, uh... IT'S PEBBLELICIOUS AND THERE'S GONNA BE TONS OF AWESOME ROMS FOR IT" and that answer doesn't quite cut it! :o

Cool vid!

If you can get a C-Pen for the S3, does that mean it will be able to download all the new apps for the Note from the Premium Suite etc?
[Galaxy S III General] cyprusx:

Try using Foxfi, its a new free tethering app. Ppl actually confirm that its free. If it doesn't show up in Play Store, your gonna need to download it from the web. Just search for Foxfi in Google or something.

I've been using it since yesterday & it gave me no trouble at all.

No, nothing is bullet proof. Even the iPhone was jailbroken, right? Sony Playstation....And the list goes on and on. This phone has been available for less than a day. So I just imagine with some time, we'll see it unlocked. IF (and I know it's a big if) the Sense UI doesn't crash I may not even bother unlocking it in the future...The only reason why I'd want to see this phone unlocked is to put a ROM with stock Android ICS on there and also a ROM that would hopefully increase performance/battery (though we'll see how battery goes, apparently it's real good!) and of course to remove any pre-installed bloatware...The bloatware removal is perhaps the most important of all 3 benefits there with the custom ROM. Other than that, this phone is awesome! So get used it while you wait for the unlock and see what you do and don't like.

I will, upload all partitions except for partition 9 because thats where all me personal data is! ;)

I also have NO responsibility on what happens to your lumia. If it catches your house on fire; then I am sorry.

This will only work if your "bricked" 710 connects to your

linux

distribution. To check, at least on ubuntu and mac, open disk utility and check if it shows up. If it is there, find out what drive letter/number(on mac) it shows up as.

How to flash a dead partition.

1. Download the needed partition dump.

2. Open terminal

3. Type in

sudo dd if=<path to dump>/<dump name> of=/dev/sdXY

X= drive letter or number it shows up as on your operating system.

Y= partition you are trying to fix/whatever

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janeindiran:
Ya. Updating SDK hope it works.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SifJar:
The above error shows that "aapt" could not be run. This is a tool from the Android SDK. If you have the SDK installed, open a command prompt/terminal and try typing "aapt". If it doesn't work, this is the problem. Most likely an issue with your PATH environment variable. This is assuming you are getting the exact same error as the one you quoted and said you got the same error. If not, please post the EXACT output from apktool when you try and build an APK to help identify the issue.
