[Galaxy S III General] AndreiLux:
The contrast and viewing angles simply rule out any other kind of technology. Especially in the second video where he pans in from the side at an angle and the colours just look basically the same, that's simply not possible with LCD tech. No LCD I've ever seen in person is even near capable of doing that. I haven't seen the HTC One display in person but I cannot believe it's capable of doing that, correct me if I'm wrong.

I've actually researched a bit more on the PHOLED story;

Phosphorescent red emitter materials have been used in AMOLED screen since several generations, and we actually have that inside the S3, and actually further back in the panel generations. There are several iterations of the red emitter and those were one of the previous generation materials.

The big fuss right now is about the introduction of the phosphorescent green emitter replacing the fluorescent green one, in terms of green that means a reduction in power in the order of 75%. This means that the new display will be RG PHOLED while B remains FOLED until they can achieve and develop a material with a long enough life-time.

What might also happen, and I'm pulling this straight out of me ass, is that they may also upgrade the red material to one of Universal Display's newer iterations, which also provides gains in efficiency, although not nearly that significant.

In any case, it looks stunning. I hope we have true blacks with this display.

I need to brush my knowledge in chemistry to understand the basics of Fluorescence and phosphorescence. Exciting development.

The screen looks more 'natural'. But obviously we need to wait for more details.

BTW, where are GLbenchmark / Geekbench results for 5410? No leak yet?

Andrei, looks like they have cooked something with PHOLED.

They have trade marked "HYPER BRIGHT DISPLAY" just recently.

EDIT: I did a mistake regarding the USPTO letter.

But, refused due to some technicalities:

Anyway's, it just points towards a very bright high NITs display.

Is it just me or does the touch less browser scrolling hardly respond on that video?

I know it won't be a final release but why show that?
[Galaxy S III General] yahyoh:
i think the firmware isn't final yet , and don't expect much from AOSP browser ( yep its smooth but on heavy sites it turn to crap : if u scroll u will get white borders (like the video ) - text clearing take a lot when zooming ) Chrome is the future Android browser ( but still a bit choppy ) but a lot faster than AOSP browser + no white borders and text clear much faster when zooming ( u can't even noticed ) :p

The new screen is going to be called HyperBright Display(trademarked by Samsung). And the biggest difference from previous generations is that it's going to be a lot brighter, while consuming less power(full brightness should be brighter, but the power-consumption should stay the same).

That isn't an official video, but a leak from China.

Because we saw from Samsung US an S4 without grill?

[Galaxy S III General] AndreiLux:
**** that low resolution image, I can't make out enough detail on the pixel pattern.

It seems to me to have the rumored diamond layout. Needs a higher quality microscope picture.
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
@hot_spare

WTF??? ill hold my words for few more hours... all i can say is hope the display quality is not true or from some prototype unit.

---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------

not only the pixels but the overall brightness is so poor comparing with s3 side by side there.
[Galaxy S III General] :
Andrei, it says in the review you can click to enlarge. But somehow it's not working for me. This is the highest res I could find.

Edit:

Check this --

Probably the 'diamond' shape as rumoured. It's different for sure.
[Galaxy S III General] skivnit:
Interesting... I just can't figure out how all these leaks came out. Samsung used 3 prototypes on the gs3 one of them popped out on the net and it was wrong. However these are videos, pics and camera shots

[Galaxy S III General] :
Bala, it's prototype for sure. Look at all the smudges and scratches in the unit.

But, I don't think the display is very 'dark'. Check this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0uHy3SNfXQ

Looks quite bright to me from there.
[Galaxy S III General] AndreiLux:
Oh wow. That's definitely not RGB :D

It's the diamond layout, that pretty much confirms it.

It looks fantastic in my opinion, the brightness is stunning in the videos.
[Galaxy S III General] ximiti:
GS4 should be great, i'was on antununu and have a nice benchmark
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
hopefully, though im not that much into the design i still expected metallic sides earlier, its just some othe material :(

In the videos it was awesome, but in the above mentioned review when shown along with xperia z and s3 it looks much darker.
[Galaxy S III General] daleski75:
Is that a rebadged pentile screen I spy then?
[Galaxy S III General] :
@ Bala: The guys clearly says that it's an engineering prototype.

Performance is also not good. So, don't judge anything from here. The only thing we can take from here are possible features it could include in final product. There was also a 'rumour' that it would ship with 4.2.2
[Galaxy S III General] Chillz88:
If u look at the chinese leaked photos.. you can see cracks on the back.. the s3s back is really tough to crack being flexible.. I guess that build was a prototype.. not saying that s4 wont use the same s3 design language.. but all prototypes mostly will use cheap plastics rather than the polycarbonate plastic of the s3 or the like the s4 mostly..

And the screen layout does look different .. might be the rumored diamond layout like andrei says.. 6 hours left for the judgement..

.....
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
Just saw your post edit regarding "prototype". Due to my ****ty net connection the whole article is still loading and yet to be translated to english :laugh:

@chillz

i personally feel the design is one step up from s3 design. Instead of yet another rectangle its something different from the competition and the texture add some nice flavor

[Galaxy S III General] Toss3:
Yes they mention it several times in the review. Looking good so far! Quadrant seems a bit on the low side(not overall, but CPU; HTC One managed 36000 while the i9502 only got 25000), and so does Vellamo(2400 for the HTC One and 1500 for the i9502).The camera unsurprisingly takes great daylight photos, but I was not impressed with the low-light shots they took.

Might end up ordering an HTC One tomorrow if Samsung does not deliver on the final firmware tonight.
[Galaxy S III General] uvaman:
So you are buying the phone based on Quadrant,prototype phone and low light images?

Before first real review's we cant judge the final product because only untill then we will have all information necessary. And if Octa is coming with enabled HMP even better.
[Galaxy S III General] Chillz88:
I just recharged my 3g just for the launch today;)..

Yeah it definitly looks better than the s3.. I was just worried about the cracks in those high res pics of the s4's back ..

[Galaxy S III General] Turbotab:
My main concern with Exynos Octa , is the peak power consumption of those A15s, the benchmarks are not massively better than the HTC One, even accounting for early software, which suggests aggressive throttling. The benchmark figures of the Tegra 4 reference device, show that A15 cores easily outpace Krait 300 ones, when given a generous power envelope, but restricted to a smartphone form factor / power profile is another question.

Given that the HTC One's Snapdragon 600 is clocked at 1.7 GHz, not the 1.9 GHz, of the rumored Qualcomm version of the GS4, I don't think there will much difference in total performance, between Exynos & Qualcomm variants.

Wherever hype is created, disappointment will follow ;) so don't expect anything special. :)whatever we want to know about s4 has already been leaked in the last few hours, now only the official unveiling is left.

We will get some better info after the hands on section there hopefully

《posted from s3》
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
Yes you did. Obviously the S IV will be improved in every possible way over the S3 but with the phone looking so much like its predecessor, and with the ability to port an S IV rom to an S3, is it really WORTH it? The design needs to change at least a little, this looks like a stretched S3. an iphone 4s to iphone 5 kinda upgrade, meaning not really worth it and better wait for an S V or note 3. I'm obviously just speculating, i don't know for sure if it will look like this ,but if it does, i can't lie and say that i won't be disappointed. Just 4 hours to go and i'm very excited to see what its gonna be about.
[Galaxy S III General] AndreiLux:
What?

All of those enhancements are hardware, porting a ROM will not do anything to bring those things to the user.

It's like saying because it's an evolutionary design, that all those things suddenly become irrelevant. Makes no sense.
[Galaxy S III General] sxi200:
I think it looks great. Looking forward to getting the beast.
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
Ok Jacky, you are twisting what i said. \Who said anything about the hardware being irrelevant? Once again, obviously the S IV is going to be an improvement over the S 3 in almost every way possible, specs, screen, SoC ( i thought i said that in my previous comment but anyways), but the physical look of a phone is very important, to me. If it looks like an S 3 with a bigger screen than i will be disappointed, i want something that looks and feels different to give the feel of it being a newer, improved version of the predecessor. Capiche?

Porting a Rom won't bring the exynos 5 octa and the 13 megapixel camera, i think i get that, but with the possibility to port a galaxy s 4 rom in an s 3, and both phone looking very similar im wondering if its WORTH it. Its not like the S3 performs badly you know, its quad core is very capable.
[Galaxy S III General] skivnit:
I'm with you but after looking at the pics it looks more like a blackberry which I used to have.. It is somewhat more elegant than the s3 . however the back cover sucks. Now let's wait for some reviews!

[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:

[Galaxy S III General] :
We for sure know a good deal about the device. What remains is confirmation of specific details. What I am more interested in is the show itself and the presentation. Samsung shows are 'wonky' (i don't know how to explain better). Check how people responds and get on the debate. Contradict or fight if necessary with many trolls who will tell you that it's waste unless made from pure carbon substrate. And then excitement for benchmarks, photo quality and screen brightness. And I know for sure that I will hear countless logic about the new display pattern by next 24 hours.

exciting times ahead!
[Galaxy S III General] yahyoh:
huh....GS4 teardown :cyclops:

http://mobile.it168.com/tu/1462254.shtml

edit : dat speaker :D
[Galaxy S III General] AndreiLux:
Ok, let me ask you this way; what does porting the S4 rom over bring you? You make it sound as if it has some revolutionary features of its own that redeems the S3 if ported to it, regardless of the S4's hardware enhancements. The worth lies solely in the hardware advancements, and since we know most of them as I listed above, if you do not find worth in them alone, then no, the S4 won't be worth for you.

Oh wow, the chinese don't **** around wasting time here.

The motherboard really looks a generation apart from the current designs, most compact one I've seen yet.
[Galaxy S III General] yahyoh:
damn those chinese ruined everything :(:(
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
Well that is where i completely disagree with you, " the worth lies solely in the hardware advancements" that's not true at all, software at this point is what matters the most to me. I have to explain to make sure you get where i'm coming from. NO, i don't think that the specs are worthless, far from it, i think the rumored specs are everything someone would want in a smartphone. I mean an exynos 5 octa with 2 gigs of ram and a 13 MP camera, how can someone not like these specs right? But when i say it may not be worth the upgrade, i;m taking into consideration that the S3 is still very relevant, that it has a quad core processor, a 720p that is pretty good and with an S IV rom port it would be even better. Now what do i expect an SIV rom to bring you ask, well all the new features, new gallery, new touchwiz, new smart functions ( alert, stay, scroll....), an overall better and richer UI. When i say it may not be worth it, i don't mean the SIV isn't a worthy phone, i mean it may not be worth spending that extra money for a phone that look very similar, that's just me though, i can't speak for everybody else. But again, we don't know with a 100%v certainty what the final looks of the phone will be. according to sammobile, that SIV that is around the internet is an early prototype so it may not be the final thing. 2 hours to go, then we will find out.
[Galaxy S III General] xManMythLegend:
Unlocked price is expected to be about $ 7-800 correct ?

Whats with the pebble blue front pearlescent back ?

Are they going black and white hybrid ?
[Galaxy S III General] AndreiLux:
You don't understand what I'm talking about; worth in the sense of material worth, or better said money. Your ROM upgrade will come for free, you don't need to spend money on it. That's why I say that worth lies solely in the hardware - because it's the one thing you need to buy. Software matters to you, but it's worth nothing to you.

So if you don't find it worth in the hardware enhancements, which we already know of, then you can already make your decision.
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
I guess you misunderstood my very first comment. The hardware is perfect for me ( the internals, SoC, Ram) and the screen. What i am talking about is how the phone looks. I will be disappointed if it looks very closely to the S3. As far as making my decision, i can do that on my own but thanks anyway.
[Galaxy S III General] drakester09:
Dayum, please separate your text in paragraphs...

There's no certainty that the S3 will get all the software features of the S4 and if you think that porting is easy or that it will be done by the community... keep dreaming.

If that was the case, then S2 would had Nature UX since far ago. It was until Samsung released a JB update that they got it.

Plus, look at the leak, some features might still be hidden but overall it doesn't seems like a 1:1 similarity.

On topic: No info about the DAC? I'm afraid there's no Wolfson this time. :( Hope there's a comparable alternative...:(

"Samsung will not radically depart from what we are expecting"

HTC obviously had to change it, else it's going to die a painful death soon. I am still not sure what changed is good or bad. 2-button layout?? i don;t really like that.

But instead of wasting time on HTC today, I will concentrate on GS4. I had already invested enough time thinking about HTC.
