[Atrix 4G General] DroidRunner:
Im glad I tried out Motorola, but its definitly my last. Samsung would be my next phone if the iPhone 5 isn't a 4.3 inch screen.

Now you need to make a new username.
[Atrix 4G General] Cryingmoose:
Generally, I go with whoever currently has the best phone when my contract comes up.

/which was the Atrix at the time. St. Pattys 2011. Nevar Forget!
[Atrix 4G General] Danikin:
i don´t plan to change my atrix in the near futuro but, if my atrix explode will be an htc i think.
[Atrix 4G General] windozeanti:
Ex-Atrix owner. :D
[Atrix 4G General] panflute:
Sony Ion being released to AT&T next month so I'll have the One X, the G3, to choose from but I'm leaning towards the Ion. Will be able to hold all three in my hands to decide.
[Atrix 4G General] MJPollard:
Mine will be whatever phone looks and works best, be it Motorola, HTC, Samsung, or whatever, but that won't be for another year. (About the only thing I can guarantee is that it

won't

be an Apple product. Ever.) Plus, unlike others, I don't feel the need to change phones more often than my socks. Hell, I stuck with my RAZR flip phone for years after I was eligible for an upgrade; if that doesn't say "this guy doesn't need to follow the latest shiny object," I don't know what does. :D
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Ion or One X for me. Was thinking SGSIII was a player till they unveiled it. Been waiting for Ion. Have 2 upgrades available, so maybe both!
[Atrix 4G General] frostbyte0:
HTC or Samsung

Motorola's been OK. They replaced the broken Atrix I had quickly and somewhat painlessly. Hate the locked bootloader, though.

But if I were to choose now, I wouldn't go with an Atrix 2. I like the HTC's that I've seen. Maybe a Samsung with the latest phones they've come out with.
[Atrix 4G General] dragunbayne:
I'm moving to the One X. I'm still keeping my Atrix to play with though. I would go to Samsung but I don't like the colors on the AMOLED screens. I figure in a year when I can upgrade again there should be some really good choices.
[Atrix 4G General] KingKuba13:
Maybe HTC since the s3 is a dud. Keeping the Atrix for now till something really impresses me.
[Atrix 4G General] ethantarheels123:
I am contemplating on HTC due to their top notch style and build quality. However, one thing irks me and that is that on almost all HTC phones, there has been the problem of the power button becoming flush over time and the screen lifting up on the sides. I have seen this happen to the inspire and many other phones, including the one x...
[Atrix 4G General] JiminSD:
I would consider HTC, Samsung, and Motorola. Motorola has by far been the best maker for me. I can understand the rest of the world may not be happy with the support but I have found their support in the US no different than the others. I have had good experiences with HTC as well and believe they are more interested overall in providing good service. My worst was being an early adopter to the Samsung Captivate, the GPS was literally non functioning out of the box unless you used Voodoo. I will buy fro. Any of these three but with reservations. If Motorola builds a phone with Atrix features it will be my first choice.
[Atrix 4G General] Sass86:
I'm hoping for a great come back for the Atrix (Atrix 3) or the Droid Nexus (I think moto would call it that, when they make a nexus). Little under a year for my upgrade so I hope they have a policy change with bootloaders for me to consider them.
[Atrix 4G General] MXIIA:
I'll probably go with the next Nexus, unless something else comes and shines over that.
[Atrix 4G General] omni_angel7:
I am next phone manufacturer
[Atrix 4G General] el_venga:
droid series i believe is verizon only, just the names.
[Atrix 4G General] aaron.a:
It really isn't so much the manufacturer as it is the hardware. I haven't relied on manufactures for anything software related since my first device purchase. Maybe that will change the first time i drop my phone in the toilet and warranty suddenly applys to me xD
[Atrix 4G General] Pavel-145:
Motorola! The best hardware in the world with google (best soft) it's fantastic quality!
[Atrix 4G General] Jayarama:
I am planing to move cotton candy:p, might be Samsung..

[Atrix 4G General] Jayarama:
wow second link looks like too cheap. I think we can find a way to use it with our lapdock so we can use lapdock as mini computer ;)

Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] sdlopez83:
We will all want the next unlocked phone with the best specs regardless of manufacturer.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Err.............wrong! I have 2 specific phones in mind, and am not at this time considering any others. One being the Sony Ion which I would buy release day and would not be unlocked yet. I think it's fair to say that your assumption on what everyone will want is incorrect. Never assume!
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
What's the other phone that you have in mind?...
[Atrix 4G General] tatperson:
HTC or Sony.

Posted from my rooted Motorola Atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
HTC One X International, but I've really been waiting for the Ion.
[Atrix 4G General] DroidRunner:
I wanted my wife to get the HTC One X or the Lumia 900. I got her the Lumia cause of the price. The Lumia is an AWESOME phone. The UI past the "main screen" is better than any other OS out right now. The only Android phone that compares with it is the One X. I don't care what anyone says about WM7, is very polished. And "playing" with it in the store does not allow you to give an accurate review about it.
[Atrix 4G General] ajt1995:
Samsung. Samsung. Samsung. Samsung. They make their phones un-ugly, unlike motorola.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mikel.canovas:
I just got to say, the one x has been wonderful so far. Coming from the galaxy s (and originally planning on getting the gs3) I am completely satisfied with this phone and definitely plan on staying around a while. Can't wait to get some development going (damn you att and your locked boot loader).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Maroon Mushroom:
Welcome to the One X :)

My life will be complete once I build AOKP for this. Setting up one of my computers to be a build bot for this device.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Alcoholic:
I just got one too. My first android purchase. Been following android since g1 but never found a phone that wasn't ****ty till now.

I'm liking the one x a lot so far.

I don't think the keyboard is as bad as people made it out to be.I can type pretty fast comfortably without even looking at the keyboard.

I do have the WiFi problem but I changed the band from auto to 2.4 and its more stable now.

The battery won't charge to 100% for some reason. Stops as 99% anybody have this problem?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Maroon Mushroom:
I wouldn't worry about the battery display. Many devices do that. All you need to know is that it's charged. Most batteries won't actually get to 100% anyway. They kinda lie to you :p
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mikel.canovas:
Yeah I couldn't stand the keyboard. The first thing I did was put good 'ol stock ics keyboard on here. Never had any wifi issues. I agree with the post above. Your battery is fully charged. Just being displayed oddly
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mesasone:
Made the upgrade from the Captivate as well today. I have to admit, I'm not completely in love with the phone yet, but I like it plenty and think it will grow on me in time. It's a bit bigger than I'd like, making it difficult to use in one handed operation, and I'm really not a fan of where HTC stuck the power button on this thing. Two fairly minor quibbles really. Also, I miss the inky blacks and contrast ratio from the AMOLED display, but this is still a solid upgrade in the display department anyhow.

Finally, I'm not really digging Sense. I really liked the refinements from Touchwiz. such as the toggles in the notification bar and being able to swipe on the notification bar to change the brightness level. I look forward to the day when I can install CM9 or a similar ASOP/ASOK based rom that includes those features (and gets rid of the rest of the vendor bloat).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mikel.canovas:
I agree with all your statements. I really wish there was a blend of sense tw and aokp

Thanks for the link good to see htc bring great competition
[Galaxy S III General] ky0nkyon:
Is the bezel really thinner? It looks bigger to me on the picture, but it may be due to it not being actual size.
[Galaxy S III General] cyprusx:
The sides and the top are thinner also its more curved so its saves of more on the bezel on the corners, those pics are not to scale

S Pen support?

Where did you get this bit of information from???
[Galaxy S III General] diehard2222:
Lol he made it up.
[Galaxy S III General] cyprusx:
haha nah mate, its called C Pen

"The Samsung Galaxy Note comes with a stylus known as the S Pen, but the S3 gets its own C Pen. It's a capacitive stylus pen "exclusively optimised" for the S3's screen, with a 3mm rubber tip and an aluminum body that matches the S3's design."

If the HOX has Gorilla Glas 2, than GG2 is kind of a dispointment

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBo3W6HdPbM
[Galaxy S III General] ziggazee:
The only difference with GG2 is that it's 20% thinner, its still apparently has the same strength as normal gorilla glass, but why would you want thinner glass? I'd like stronger glass so if that means making it thicker then so be it.
[Galaxy S III General] rete:
Wrong. Corning announce GG2 at CES with first product shipment end-April or early May. HOX has original GG.

Edit. HTC apparently confirms this.

www.stuff-review.com/2012-04/htc-one-x-is-protected-by-the-original-corning-gorilla-glass-not-2/
[Galaxy S III General] ph00ny:
Why does everyone think Gorilla Glass 1/2 = shatterproof/scratchproof?
[Galaxy S III General] cyprusx:
I don't think any won thinks any phones glass is shater proof buts its prob still the best out their, apparently gg2 is more touch sensitive because its thinner. I guess well just wait and see for the drop test lol
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
Nice summary!! Its surely a good upgrade for sgs2 users!!
[Galaxy S III General] ph00ny:
Thinner means less reflection in a touchscreen device
[Galaxy S III General] bbk!ng:
I am curious, how many of those SW upgrades, is possible to port for SGS2 also, as not depending to some new HW feature?
[Galaxy S III General] cmd512:
Awesome list!

Additionally, as long as the GPS is fantastic like the SGS2... and not a nightmare like the SGS1... I'll be a happy camper. :)
[Galaxy S III General] tanseerj:
What about LED notifications ...? This is an extremely useful addition in my opinion.
[Galaxy S III General] cyprusx:
I already had that :) " LED indicator "
[Galaxy S III General] Knight47:
Nice post. I'm sure I'll buy SGS3:D
[Galaxy S III General] ph00ny:
If it's the same unit as the Note, you will love

Note's GPS/GLONASS setup is much better than the S2 in lock speed and accuracy
[Galaxy S III General] Elite49:
Thanks OP, for first time I'm pumped to buy a phone.
[Galaxy S III General] runedrune:
"Active noise cancellation with dedicated mic" - Doesn't the SGS2 have that too?
[Galaxy S III General] eksasol:
I wouldn't say GLONASS is better than GPS, the American GPS uses more satellites after all, but using the combination of them to make measurements can improve accuracy and detection.
[Galaxy S III General] Netman_:
What is RGB sensor?

Some kind of a new light sensor?
[Galaxy S III General] NZtechfreak:
In fact in most locations GLONASS is LESS accurate than the American GPS satellite network (I say most because at extremes of longitude, like as in Russia, it is more accurate). A GPS unit like the one in the S3 that utilises both has better accuracy and lock strength than one using the American satellite network only because it takes the position of best fit from a greater number of sources. The Note has GLONASS and is easily the best GPS I've used in a phone (and I've had a lot of GPS-enabled handsets).

[Galaxy S III General] jonny68:
Excellent stuff indeed thanks for posting this.

For the haters, piss off away with your negativity this phone rules.:cool:
[Galaxy S III General] pacc:
35? Really? You really need to count that much to push yourself to upgrade?

Most software features are useless and if needed it will be easily ported to SII or adopted later by Samsung (like TW in SI). (Most will probably clean all Samsung crap anyway.)

Regarding hardware some points are subject to taste.

I may consider upgrading but honestly, this really sounds a selling campaign for Samsung.
[Galaxy S III General] s3ller:
its 4 mm wider ! S2 was really strecting it for me ... I prefer the width of sgs1.
[Galaxy S III General] pacc:
Also have preference for SI size, I also own SII and pushes the limits of usage with one hand.

Anything larger will have to be with both hands and IMO Note and SIII fit this category.

Also, most will get a case for SIII which will enlarge to an even more uncomfortable single hand usage.
[Galaxy S III General] brutoid:
Damn those 4mm's! I guess you guys need to grow a bit? :D
[Galaxy S III General] cmd512:
"Is that your S3, or are you just happy to see me?"

EDIT: Sent from my Galaxy Sausage & beans.
[Galaxy S III General] cyprusx:
Okay guys i scaled the Comparison Size to true size, i had the S3 too big
[Galaxy S III General] AtlanM87:
A key point will be whether it has a dual or quad core, and how either of them performs and plays nice with the battery. If one already has a GS2 there has to be some significant improvement to spend the $$.
[Galaxy S III General] peachpuff:
I agree, my captivate was 64mm wide and i hated the extra 2mm added width in the sgs2 initially, adding another 4mm width and 12mm height is pushing it, using the phone single handily is out of the question.

Luckily i think i found my next phone, it has a 4.5" 720p ips screen, quad core, 2500mah battery, looks like my current sgs2 and its only 64mm wide http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_ascend_d_quad_xl-4569.php
[Galaxy S III General] armyboy11b:
Actually it consumes more power its wider screen and better chip set that's why they added the bigger battery. But still good phone imo
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
Amazing thread. Got me even more excited about this phone!!!!
[Galaxy S III General] raf2k:
Everything bigger than Sgs2 is too big. Ive dropped my Sgs2 many times because of bad ergonomy.
[Galaxy S III General] cyprusx:
well the GS3 looks to have good ergonomics, as in looks very comfortable to hold, weather it drops allot prob depends on your case and if your drunk or not
[Galaxy S III General] swsylwia:
Fantastic thread! Thanks for that.

Cant wait to put my hands on GSIII:-))
[Galaxy S III General] tonydevon:
Luv the Thread

I am getting so excited I'm thinking damn gotta have 2 and yes I am doubly pleased to see you.:eek:
[Galaxy S III General] antzlisoul:
my guess is the c pen stylus is sold separately. Where the heck you going to store the stylus. In your pocket?? i don't see anywhere on the phone. maybe the case??
[Galaxy S III General] zabhi:
Fantastic thread!:D
[Galaxy S III General] katamari201:
You forgot to mention it has an extra I in the name. That is definitely another improvement!
[Galaxy S III General] carloslopescj:
One reason to don't upgrade to GS3: Just bought my GS2 4 months ago :P

I'll wait for the GS4 muahaha :P
[Galaxy S III General] cyprusx:
u made me laugh
[Galaxy S III General] tonydevon:
Funny

Now this made me smile :):):p:):)
[Galaxy S III General] coolpal:
I can't understand the fascination for bigger and bigger phones. I thought the SGS2 was already pushing it and then came SGS3 which is even bigger with the same 720p as in nexus with the same screen type. At least they should have kept the size of the nexus.. It will feel awkward next to my ear, almost like talking into a tablet held to your ear.

At this rate, the next galaxy (S IV) will be a true tablet.

P.S: I'm keeping my SGS 2. Thanks samsung for not making me spend again.
[Galaxy S III General] g4rvd4:
Thanks for this fantastic thread, I can't wait for the phone to launch in India...

Seems like it's definitely going to be my next phone. What an upgrade to my Desire it will be!
[Galaxy S III General] Landorin:
Very useful, thanks! Because of this thread, it now sounds like the better longterm deal to me than the S2.

I didn't know it actually combines GLONASS and GPS (I thought it was merely an alternate system for Russians). :D

Also, I had no idea the S3 has a LED notification? Can someone show on a picture where it exactly is? Would be handy, no more NoLED required...

[Galaxy S III General] Landorin:
Thanks to the both of you!

Now that's really nice feature I was missing on the SGS 1 (not the only feature I was missing ;) ).
[Galaxy S III General] Daemos:
For what it's worth...The SGS2 has Active Noise Cancellation with a dedicated mic, and because the C pen is a capacitive pen and not an active pen it'll work on any device with a capacitive touch layer like the SGS, SGS2, ipad, iphone, etc...

So these two are not 'hardware improvements'
[Galaxy S III General] foxbat121:
IIRC, only US(or AT&T) version has it. International version doesn't.

AT&T version of SGS1 also had it.
[Galaxy S III General] runedrune:
I think there's a reason why SGS2 has two mics?

http://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9100_galaxy_s_ii-3621.php

Yeah it has it.
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
Actually to be frank, after seeing the images on 1st post the sgs3 looks more like a sexy phone whereas my good old sgs2 looks like a rectangle piece of box ;)
[Galaxy S III General] brutoid:
I have the same phone, lets be honest, it looks like a iphone. Hence why Samsung got into trouble in court.

Glad the new one looks different. :)
