Do you think all S4 feature like Eye tracking, remote control, answer to a phone in air with your hand , air view will be on our s3?
[Galaxy S III General] :
i dont know, but i really know, thats a battery killer... hahahahah
[Galaxy S III General] disclaimernotice:
Eye tracking will probably be on the S3.

Remote controlling is not possible because we don't have an Infrared blaster.

And I believe the air gestures require a special sensor built into the screen, something which the S3 lacks yet again.
[Galaxy S III General] Forneus1:
I'm sticking with my S3 - i9305 as the main showstopper for me is the very narrow field of view for still photos and video on the S4

Also the quality seems similar for photos and everything else... I'll be waiting for the S5 or Nexus 5
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
A note 2 is an S3 on steroids. Wait for the note 3 no doubt. With that being said the S4 is a beast.
[Galaxy S III General] blunatic:
thats my opinion also

Im really happy with the s3 right now... coming from the legendary s1.

the S4 not having the FM radio is a dealbreaker for me.

Lol yeah. I don't know what kind of study Samsung conducted and concluded fm radio is dead as ......... dead.
[Galaxy S III General] klaus 99:
I see no difference as to change my s3 for s4

I am very happy with its performance
[Galaxy S III General] fotbal5:
For me S 4 is not a big deal at all, yes we got allot of new features, but many don't work like the need to and others will be ported to other phones, at the moment the price it way to high for what it offers. At nearly half price you can get a i9305 and you are not missing many things, how many new features a S 4 users uses ?, not more that 3-4 more that on s 3 and i don't think that in daily use. If you use many features the battery will go down quick and the memory usage will stay at 1.3Gb ram or more so not that good for the battery.
[Galaxy S III General] Moopow:
I agree with you that not more than 3 to 4 features will be use daily s4 over that of the s3... That to me is a very good point... When I think about it who would actually walk around waving their hands on the air on the street to control their phone lol.... Btw I am not bashing the s4 I am just thinking about the practical sense of the usage of the features :thumbup:
[Galaxy S III General] C_green:
I do not see any really major point to lead me to S4.

I think many of the software stuffs will be ported to our i9300.

For sure it's a great phone. 2gb RAM and 8 core exynos is a big improvement and bla bla bla...

I also afraid to buy a phone and don't have the top developers working on it.

My opinion.
[Galaxy S III General] harise100:
If you just want a good phone stay with your I9300.

If you want CM in all its glory, buy a I9505!

Steve Kondik, AndreiLux, Wanam, Faux123, ::indie::, ...

How many top developers do you need?;)
[Galaxy S III General] Rick O:
Would be better if the I9305 had FM radio...
[Galaxy S III General] tolis626:
AndreiLux has bought the I9500 already.He said he's going to support the Exynos platform because he's best at that.
[Galaxy S III General] Turb0Droid:
Why there isn't FM Radio? dissapointed
[Galaxy S III General] kangerX:
Sammy says 'their studies have shown people don't use it anymore'
[Galaxy S III General] drakester09:
No, for that get a Nexus. Only phone that can have flawless AOSP.

But I agree on the choice, if you want to have the possibility of running anything different from Touchwiz, get a Snapdragon. They are much much better supported.
[Galaxy S III General] Mutley-BR:
I agree and my plans go to 9500.

4+4 cores is better than snap.

That's why I'd never touch an Exynos again unless there were some BIG changes on how Samsung does things.

If they don't botch it on the hardware side, they do on the software. :eek:

S3 and S4 processor, and some of you already think there is no difference except for software plug-ins. I do not understand why Samsung is continuously doing so. I got my device for around $ 650 now $ 350.
[Galaxy S III General] Racinghart91:
i guess not.....

they are still selling and updating the S2 so i think we can keep the s3 for quite a while
[Galaxy S III General] NorthernNoel:
Looks like a phone that I would like is finally being released stock android with micro sd and removable battery. Not sure if it's worth getting rid of the S3 though. Would break my 2 year rule. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2038...-samsung-galaxy-s4-with-stock-android-os.html
[Galaxy S III General] fotbal5:
You are right but you can still get a custom rom that is near a stock android so ....!
[Galaxy S III General] NorthernNoel:
Personally I'd prefer a Nexus style device these days. I've yet to find a ROM with as smooth an experience. Updates are a lot more straight forward as well
[Galaxy S III General] kangerX:
Not sure about how s4 will get updates. AFAIK it was said Google edition and not nexus. It was said to be nexus ' like 'experience.
[Galaxy S III General] rezapatel:
Something to consider with the Google S4 is, is Google again supporting the physical button architecture versus the virtual buttons? Hmm..

[Galaxy S III General] CoOl_BeSoIL50o0:
S3 is a great phone with its powerful and amazing goodies, but the EXYNOS Sucks...! Also, 1GB of RAM in a phone with so much caliber is a shame on SAMSUNG..!
[Galaxy S III General] ra3or:
indeed it is, i managed to buy one :) am on stock 4.1.2 and free ram is 130mb average =/
[Galaxy S III General] shr95:
Yea ..can't blame Samsung for s3! It's still one of best phones in the market :P
[Galaxy S III General] fotbal5:
I Agree plus there is the 2 GB of ram version (i9305) and quad soo.., Btw you can buy it at 40% or more the price of a S4 .
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
Exactly. The S3 still competes in this market and is a top phone no doubt.
[Galaxy S III General] saprer:
for me its still the best phone
[Galaxy S III General] negrobembon:
There's a quad version of the 2gb one?

I though the 2gb version only had a dual 1.5 ghz cpu
[Galaxy S III General] nbates66:
the International 4G version of the Galaxy S3 is GT-I9305 and has 2GB of ram with the exynos Quad CPU, rest is mostly the same as a GT-i9300 except a few differences, such as the GT-i9305 lacking an FM radio.

EDIT: also because of the different Radio(4G) the partitions are slightly different too, trying to flash a GT-i9300 rom to a GT-i9305 phone can cause loss of IMEI data.
[Galaxy S III General] negrobembon:
Thats how the regular s3 should have been.
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
You think its better than the S4 and HTC One?/??
[Galaxy S III General] saprer:
lets say i dont see any difference between them and our s3.

the new features i dont need from s4 and from htc one the UI looks like crap for me.
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
Have you actually had the chance to play with those phones? Have you looked at their screens? Did you test boomsound? I just don't see how the S3 is better than those two phones. Its a good phone but I think it is ridiculous to say that it is better than both the S4 and the HTC One.
[Galaxy S III General] saprer:
i dont mean better in that way like u understand.

i mean its enough for me. i got everything what i need and everything else is working. i see no difference and i dont see why i should buy s4 for much more money even if the s3 can do everything i need.

tell me where our s3 is getting beated?
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
Oh ok. If you say that the S3 is enough for you than I totally understand cause its a matter of opinion. If you don't know by now how the S4 beats the S3 then there's nothing I can say that will make you understand it.
[Galaxy S III General] sidthegreatest:
I have Omega's 4.2.2 ROM on my SIII and in my experience, there is way more lag on the S4, especially opening a few default apps like Phone, Gallery,etc.

I am not saying that the SIII is better, because that is obviously not true, but merely pointing out that the 4.2 ROM for SIII seems better optimized than the S4.
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
Fair enough. There is lag on the S4 which to me is unacceptable, I'll receive mine today or tomorrow. If I ant stand the lag ill sell it and get an HTC One.
[Galaxy S III General] ixon2001:
The lag is the only problem i find with the S4 atm, but it's also a new phone so these should be sorted at some point in the not to distant future.

I also thought the same at first no point getting a S4 if i have a S3, but when i found i could get a cracking deal on the S4 simfree it was hard not to.

Now i had my S4 for 2 weeks, i can honestly say i couldn't go back to a S3, the screen being the biggest factor.

Also one other factor with the S4 is that it's now the current Flagship, so all efforts with firmwares will go to the S4 first, with the S3 maybe a couple month after.

If i had the S3 LTE, then it would have been a little bit harder choice, but i do think the standard 1gb S3 the S4 is a worthy upgrade.
[Galaxy S III General] Adoniran:
As you said,the screen is major factor,i think all the rest dont value the change until S4 gets a lower price.
[Galaxy S III General] fotbal5:
For me the big difference between my I9305 and I9500 in favor of S4 is the screen and the camera (but if the app for camera gets ported it will only be the screen), but at stock rom's the i9305 seems faster to me (maybe because it has fewer apps working in the background , many of them are to hard to use, still after i disable all the apps that i don't use on the 2 devices it still seems to me that i9305 is a bit faster maybe because the rom is better optimize for i9305, in time may become much better for i9500 and then if i can will do a test again), i tested the 2 devices for 1 full day having them side by side. So i'l wait for SV.

Still don't get me wrong SIV is a very good phone but if you got a I9305 (even I9300 if you are happy whit it and don't need the extra 1 GB of ram) then i see no point of upgrading (gather money for the next big thing). Didn't manage to test the HTC phone but if i can will give some input.
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
2 things that are "issues" for me on the S4. 1, it does stutter very often. Not lag but stuttery animations here and there are pretty frequent. 2, having used the S2, note1, S3, note 2 and now S4, touchwiz is really aging and needs a MAJOR UI overhaul. Otherwise the S4 is great, the form factor is the best, it is so comfortable to hold in your hands, the screen is insanely good and battery life is excellent. Really excellent.
[Galaxy S III General] Ishan Sardar:
cudnt agree more...I own i9305 and have also used i9500 for couple of days it seems to me that i9305 is a bit faster on default than the i9500 and I noticed the i9500 has severe slutter issues now I aint saying that the S4 is bad or the S3 is better than S4 ofcourse the hardware is superior on the S4 but at end of the day it only matters a little. The heat issue on the S4 is pretty bad for me it gets hot really really quick compare to the S3. Now the screen of the S4, I dont know except that its a lil bigger I dont see any huge difference besides the S3 is big enough if u wanna go bigger get a TV for god sake lol. So my advice for people wanting to upgrade from s3 to s4, DON'T. Wait for the S5 unless ofcourse money isn't a problem for you then buy a S4 and a HTC ONE.
[Galaxy S III General] negrobembon:
I dont have the s4 but im pretty sure those stutter issues you mention are because of the huge pile of a lot of **** samsung included in the latest touchwiz, it should get better with a few updates

Now the SGS4 google edition, thats going to be one fast beast
[Galaxy S III General] fotbal5:
I hope you are right, but still it will be some time until it will be out.

I vote for s4

hi to all

even i am a lucky owner of an s3 i would love to have an s4 for the camera and the screen
[Galaxy S III General] disk0360:
The camera is the only thing that makes me want an s4 ~ really happy with my s3 running latest Omega rom:good:
[Galaxy S III General] negrobembon:
What makes me want an S4 is the 2gb of RAM and the update priority
[Galaxy S III General] teknoss:
definetely s4
[Galaxy S III General] louca:
We are on XDA!! We have "update priority" for all devices!!! :D;)
[Galaxy S III General] bearr94:
Yes, but I think the 1GB of RAM migt become a problem in case of future updates. Even the S4 Mini has 1,5 GB of RAM.

It's like the the SII. This devices with 1Gb of RAM probably won't get KeyPrimeLie in my opinion beacause of Touchwizz. It might be the same problem for the SIII too. :(
[Galaxy S III General] rahulbalmuri:
yes absolutely... we have the first leaks.. first update priorites.. for our devices!!!
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
I believe the S4 stutters because of the gesture sensor and some of the bugs of 4.2 jellybean but mainly cause of the sensor.
[Galaxy S III General] fotbal5:
If you are right then it may never get a fix so... that will be a big blow for S4.
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
Not necessarily. I'm sure Samsung it'll be just fine if Samsung keep releasing software updates and optimize things.
[Galaxy S III General] fotbal5:
You are right people are getting the new S4 like crazy.
[Galaxy S III General] trane5700:
I want S4 features for my S3 like Smart Scroll, Smart Pause :( I think its no necessary to change S3 :)

[Galaxy S III General] trane5700:

[Galaxy S III General] nier09:
AFAIK, S3 lacks sensor for smart scroll? i might be wrong tho. :D
[Galaxy S III General] Simonna:
I think Samsung Galaxy S3 will definitely get smart pause feature, and maybe it will get more S4 features like Air view, Air gestures, (and btw, Note 2 already has Air view feature, so Galaxy S3 will definitely get it too) :D:good:
[Galaxy S III General] trane5700:
I'm not think so, that Air View add, because this is not program feature, and I dont need it :D
[Galaxy S III General] sidthegreatest:
Isn't Air View hardware dependent ?

Cause if it is not, that is the one feature from S4 I really want
[Galaxy S III General] kangerX:
pretty sure its hw dependent otherwise 4.2.2 leak would have had that feature too

I hope me is wrong though lol

[Galaxy S III General] ud2686:
Aesthetically the s4 is better for me. Biggest display and a redefined form. I hope to stwitch to this soon.
[Galaxy S III General] sebilrulz:
It is hardware dependent. You have to move your hands over the sensor for these features to work.

antutu scores

I've seen a few galaxy s3' s score around 26000 on antutu. how's that possible? Could it be that those are the ones with the krait cores? if yea isn't a quad core exynos just as powerful as a dual core krait?

if you don't believe me I can send you screenshots. .

and can these scores be faked?

---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------

I agree with you because it has 2 gigs of ram and a next gen cortex A15 processor which is very powerful or even the sd 600 version .

the international galaxy s3 has inferior hardware and almost the same amount of bloatware but a much more stable rom and mature architecture.

I think that with future uodates as the rom becomes more stable and the architecture more mature the s4 will be invincible. the A15 cores in the galaxy s4 should be almost twice as fast as the sd600 cores

---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 PM ----------

stock apps like messaging and contacts take time to load on the galaxy s3 but if you compare it with a galaxy s2 you'll realize that the galaxy s2 is kinda faster and the reaction is instant. the s2 has more free ram than the s3 so it pre loads apps into ram and this happens when the phone switches on. so if we remove the bloatware that is not required and find a way to replicate this on the galaxy s3 then we shouldn't have a problem. .
[Galaxy S III General] negrobembon:

Exactly, in fact I cant think of a single phone that compares to my 1 day of nexus experience, even the lumia 920 doesnt come close!

the s4 when played with in shops seems better because before lag it's faster, but the s4 gets tonnes of lag with all the apps syncing and stuff from what i've seen/heard, ive loaded so much onto the nexus, the ram doesnt even get close to full and im yet to see a lag, as theres no touchwiz bloat to be seen.

[Galaxy S III General] negrobembon:
In the end i ended up buying the s4 octa and i like it a lot but vs my s3 well:

Faster than the s3 and a lot less laggy(and the s3 wasnt laggy)

More free ram is awesome, i missed multitasking but samsung stuff takes 800 ram alone

Both in default screen mode, i feel like the s3 has better colors, more saturated, some dont like the saturation but i got used to it

The s4 has a purple tint in low brightness when on grey background(barely visible but it is one of my 2 issues)

Battery life kinda sucks but its been a day so maybe it gets better with time

Gets hot with continued use

Whites look very white(finally after so many amoleds)

And many other things

But in the end having them both side by side, its not a mandatory upgrade
[Galaxy S III General] RahXephon91:
I have a S3 and I totally love it. The minimal leap from the S3 to the S4 is only money making. I don't believe it's really worth it. I'll keep my S3 and wait for the S5. Maybe there the new technologies will be more advanced.

Have a nice day

Well, with $150 price difference (currently at Costco, with two year T-Mobile contract, s3=free, s4=$150), is it worth paying that much more for the S4?

If so, why?
