I have come to the conclusion that once SGS3 expires i will revert to a basic phone .

Plus a pocket sized Tablet and something like a 12 inch Tablet .

I just don't make enough use of the smart phone features these days to justify £500 spend . Screen size on a Nexus 7 makes it far more versatile than the smaller screen smart-phone for many uses .
[Galaxy S III General] Han-Droid:
S5 and hoping it has more metal in the casing. ;)
[Galaxy S III General] inferol:
i9300 is my last samsung device, they are very slow with update. Samsung skipped 4.2 then released 4.3 after many months but it turned out to be very buggy. If you compare other samsung based rom like NeatRom, these devs delivered 4.3 rom flawless in just weeks compared to samsung who worked on 4.3 jb for months. >.>

So atm i'm using rootbox 4.2.2 custom and ive been using since offical 4.1.2 jb rom.

I'm getting either nexus or sony device but i will be on lookout on other manufacturer :)
[Galaxy S III General] Michael_P:
Possibly the S5, because the S4 was such a small upgrade from S3, And I'm talking about everyday use here not benchmarks and specs which so many people are obsessed about.
[Galaxy S III General] mhoss48:
How is it a small upgrade? Bigger battery , bigger better screen, better cam, better looks and design.....
[Galaxy S III General] almera020:
S5 or an Nexus 5 or later :p
[Galaxy S III General] Steve_max:
Seriously considering the Sony Xperia Z1. When the bootloader/camera issue is solved, I'll probably get one and try to live with a sealed battery.

The other options would be the Nexus 5 (but I'll never get a phone without expandable storage, unless it's 1TB or so) and the Note 3 (but that's not so interesting after 2 years of Samsung). So, unless something big happens over the next few months, Z1 it will be.
[Galaxy S III General] Michael_P:
Like I said the specs and performance is better, But in everyday use I've never noticed that much improvement to justify a £500 upgrade since the S3 is already such a good phone that I'm happy to keep for 2 years.
[Galaxy S III General] mhoss48:
I know, but phones now, specifically the rooted modded ones are super fast that a 200$ phone could match a higher level phone
[Galaxy S III General] rao.avishek94:
Next am planning to buy LG Optimus G2 or G Pro... Lg Google Nexus 5 and Moto G is also listed.... but I love my S III :cool:
[Galaxy S III General] wind0zer:
When the S4 came out, having an S3 seemed satisfying enough. A few months ago I saw the Sony tablets and phones can take videos and pictures underwater....thats when I knew I'd be getting the S5 because water and dust proofing is the only way to go next year.

Rumor: Samsung Galaxy S5 will be waterproof and dustproof

I'd also like to shave in the shower using the front camera just for kicks.
[Galaxy S III General] Lci:
I changed my i9300 after the bugy 4.3 update to a S4 i9505 :) .I had a lot if phones (s1,s2,s3,HTC one S,one XL,one,xperia z,nexus 4 just to name a few) and i have to say that i like samsungs touchwiz interface.So next phone is going to be a samsung.

---------- Post added at 11:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 AM ----------

I had a Xperia Z and it was cool until black spots strated to appear on the camera(after 2 months) and it wasnt dust the actual pixel started to burn out.So i would not recomend it but maybe the Z1 is better :)
[Galaxy S III General] Crall:

This is my first Samsung and probably my last, i think it will be a nexus or maybe a Google edition of any kind next time.

Why?

I hate TW, I hate all the bloat, I hate the firmware update together with the worst PC program ever made...KIES. Every time I have done a OTA the phone have gone bad, every time i try to fix it with a backup with kies (and that never works! tried 5 diffrent PC, XP,Win 7 and Win8.1 and kies always fail!) to reflash and to put the backups back, never had these problems with my HTC Desire.

I run Temasek CM11 today and the S3 is almost as good as i want, the only drawback for me now is the bad BT functionality and the buggy camera.
[Galaxy S III General] dodgebizkit:
Bare in mind that your phone on 4.2(?) Can do way more than a nexus on kitkat and each update adds many new features.

Windows phone is amazing, I swat by then for anyone who isn't as nerdy as me with customisability, I bought the first flagship wp7 phone on launch day (HTC hd7) and it is still as smooth and fast (except maybe at opening huge apps) as a note 3 or nexus 4, my brother owns it now but I love to handle it when I can still :) android won me over but I can't pause wp 7/8 enough!

Nexus 5
[Galaxy S III General] toliman:
I sort of want the idea of the nexus 5, more than I want the phone itself.

if the battery life is identical to the s3, I'd like to be able to make calls after 6pm without a charger, if I use mobile data during the day.

After doing the research on brands, and such (and finding out I've still got 7 months to go on contract) I have fallen back to the note 3, the battery life, camera, etc. Are better. For nearly double the nexus 5 cost.

G2 still looks good, the Z1, didn't sell itself when I tried it out in a showroom. It looked okay, but it wasn't as good as the note 3 screen. I did look at the lumia 1020 too, and the HTC range. Still undecided.

Might see how the Black Friday sales go before paying off the contract and buying a new phone.

(i did learn about the qi charger for the s3, so not a complete waste of time.)
[Galaxy S III General] StunnaJam:
Probably a Nexus 5, I don't see why I should buy a Samsung when a Nexus is half the price and just as awesome.
[Galaxy S III General] key1:
sony honami will be my next phone beacuse i able to use it under the rain and under the water my city is always rainy.
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
I think it will be a s5, probably half a year after release. Why? By then the price of the s series usually dropped down to 400€, like the s4 currently(same happened for s3). Thats the price of a nexus, but with exch. battery and sdcard. If samsung keeps that, it will be the s5. Sony and Htc dont really interest me.
[Galaxy S III General] ballsofsteel:
In my opinion the S2-S3 jump was much smaller than the S3-S4 jump, at least for the International version. The S2-S3 jump was extremely disappointing considering that they had the same ram and GPU. The S4 is a substantial upgrade from the S3 aside from the aesthetics.
[Galaxy S III General] Sir.Swaffel:
Probably just wait for Nexus 6. Don't really feel the need to upgrade.

The largest performance boosts lately are in GPU... and I'll be damned if I'm going to play those god awful 3D games on a touch-screen, when I got a PS4.
[Galaxy S III General] d1rekt0r:
Not android for sure, because every day google steals more and more data from us(me), they alredy have literaly ALL of my photos on google plus, no matter how much i delete them and how much i delete google + services they again re-appear and ****ton of other privacy reasons.

So yeah most probably some Flagship Lumia in 2014 or 2015 (with wp9 hopefuly).
[Galaxy S III General] Sir.Swaffel:
Why don't you just use CM10.2 with OpenPDroid?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2098156
[Galaxy S III General] Michael_P:
S2-S3 might have only technically been a relatively small jump, But in everyday use it was a quantum leap in how I can use the phone because of the bigger screen that even by modern standards is amazing.

But with S4 all you really get is more speed and a better camera.
[Galaxy S III General] wess786:
A Nexus device.

[Galaxy S III General] Doppiadi:
Right now the most appealing successor seems to be a Nexus, but I'll wait for the next year model since I'm perfectly ok with the S3, especially now using kitkat and ART it feels brand new, well actually it works much better than when was new :) I'm also curious to see what Oppo and Sony will give us in 2014. For sure my next device has to be more open to the community and not the exynos/mali nightmare..
[Galaxy S III General] IamIrene:
note 3 or 4

else buy s5 for temporary use, then sell it once note 4 was selling ...
[Galaxy S III General] srv.abhishek:
Nexus and nexus only ..
[Galaxy S III General] Gorgtech:
2 days on a Nexus 5 and I don´t want to switch back. Ok, there are some flaws with this device in comparison to the S3 but the overall performance is stunning ;)

Once you go Nexus, chances are high you won´t want to switch back :D
[Galaxy S III General] DarkPal:
A Nexus Device most probably next year when I am done with the S3.
[Galaxy S III General] Michael_P:
I've tried and loved every Nexus device, But the lack of expandable memory is a killer flaw for all of them since even my 64gb card in S3 isn't enough.
[Galaxy S III General] Gorgtech:
Well, this is true, you´re limited to a fixed amount of storage at first. I´ve chosen the 32GB version since it´s more than enough for my needs. You can eg. buy this little device if you intend, for whatever reasons, to carry all the available seasons of Southpark or The Simpsons with you ;)

http://www.meenova.com/st/p/m3r.html

This at least may help you mount some extra storage to the device while eg. having to travel by train and watch some movies or simply move your Nandroid Backups etc.

Since I also own a Nexus7 II ( 2013 ) 32GB Tablet, I´ve moved all the games and movies on this device and would rather use this device for similar purposes instead of a Nexus 5 with a smaller screen ;)
[Galaxy S III General] dxzh:
Sgs4 was too similar to my sgs3. Not impressed by intended next phone which was to be Note 3 for multitude of reasons (plasticky, fiddly stylus, region lock, Knox, Samsung support, tw, etc for price). Tried Nexus 5 but, although great value, returned it as snaggy power button, a bit blocky and, upon reflection after purchase, unremovable battery.

So continue to use my slim, debloated, slightly worn sgs3 (5 batteries for it and SD card). Looking for debloated, battery removeable, active stylus friendly, robust phone with full sunlight readable screen.
[Galaxy S III General] allotrios:
I got the Note 3

Amazing phone. First phone I don't feel the need to install a custom rom or even root. I have it for over a month now.

I would recommend it to anyone (with big... fingers) :D

Upgrading from s3

Hi! How does the N5 screen compare to the S3? I love the AMOLED saturation and I don't want to find out the N5 has a disappointing contrast once I get it (In case I buy it).

And how about the battery life, is it comparable with the S3?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] deom2i:
well, l have choose the note 3 Bigger screen better cpu Camera Less lag.?
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:
If I find one in December, a Moto G.

$179 unlocked. So sweet...
[Galaxy S III General] SimplyRX:
Nexus most likely / Samsung something. I like Samsung S2 and currently S3...so will see what is available 2 years from now. :)
[Galaxy S III General] jaimex2:
Samsung Galaxy S5 most likely, while Samsung butchers Android software with crapwiz there's no denying they make good hardware and now that there's a pure Android program its hard to beat.

If it weren't for CyanogenMod I would have been Nexus all the way but the crap camera, no SD, no removable battery and bad charge life are all deal breakers.

The only thing I'll be mindful of this time around is making sure the phone is 100% supported by CM and has at least one M release before I purchase.
[Galaxy S III General] 666misanthrop666:
I'm waiting for the Galaxy S5. But I hope Samsung will think about the region lock and the eFuse...
[Galaxy S III General] Michael_P:
I've already got something similar I got from DealExtreme... But I still want everything I need already on the phone instead of plugging in OTG or using cloud services, because it makes me feel like I'm using a freaking iPhone again...

And the horror and expense of using Apple products is something I'm trying very hard to forget.
[Galaxy S III General] vespa.truccata:
Xiaomi Mi3, this will be my next handset. Great quality, ultra fast, fantastic battery life and the best Android variation IMO. Not to mention the price!!!!
[Galaxy S III General] ridakludba:
It will be note 3 or samsung galaxy s5 :)
[Galaxy S III General] bett3rthan:
I already changed to Nexus 4, it's so good, battery life 3-4 days, with S3 I only get 1 day
[Galaxy S III General] tokertm:
proper nexus or maybe a curved galaxy - depends what's about August nxt year :)
[Galaxy S III General] 5nakedoc:

Just ordered a Nexus 5 (16GB) from Digitec (Switzerland). Ordered it 9'O'Clock at night, picking it up tomorrow after lunch :D .

Funny thing is; a friend ordered an iPhone 5S today, she will be able to pick it up mid december :laugh:

Just got fed up with waiting 1/2 year for sammy to get the updates out and never really liked the Touchwiz framework anyway.

Definitely not a samsung after the way samsung has been screwing us galaxy s3 owners. Probably an htc or a motorola since google seems to be breathing new life into motorola

[Galaxy S III General] saulee.:
+1 exynos chip :(

Anyways I think our phone is good, maybe can't open apps as fast as a nexus5, maybe can't load webpages as fast as a note 3 or maybe scrolling between homescreens is laggier than g2. But its specs are so balanced. You have everything good camera, a decent processor & gpu, sdcard, removable battery, mhl.

So far I haven't had any problem at all. I firmly believe that with 4.4 official our phone will fly.

There is only thing I would ask for: Exynos drivers.

Sorry for my english

Good night pals

Not quite sure though given the way S3 has really be shoved up the shelf I wouldn't have gone for a Samsung phone. But if the technology inclines towards the mfg, I might just as well get one :(

[Galaxy S III General] stefanovais:
The first cell phone that I looked for was a Nexus 4. I was a S2 user, than I was reading some articles about Nexus 4 and was trully convinced to buy... But there's no expandable memory, you know? 16 GB isn't too much for me.

Then I bought the S3, that was the nearest from Nexus 4, in my gently opinion.

I will stay with my S3 like for 1, 2 years, until people releases good ROMs for it. For me the hardware is good enough, and with CM 10.2 or 11 it's even better!

I know Nexus 5 doesn't have a SD entrance too, but if I would change, it's going to be my first option. Maybe if I raise more money to afford the 32 GB :)
[Galaxy S III General] Ayushsinghal:
!!!

Note 3 would be my next phone..

I am buying it for sure..

But I am confused that which version should I buy

Exynos is easily available in my county (INDIA) but people are saying

that snapdragon version is better

Could anyone help on this... :confused:
[Galaxy S III General] toliman:
Most likely the major reason to choose the Exynos is if you wanted hsdpa support and not LTE. Which is a reason, not sure why.

Also, the Exynos experience from the s4 has been iffy, and I don't know how the dual quad core performance remains stable, it might be that it has a high and low speed core for hybrid conservation of battery life, ie a CPU set lower just to run the idle and wakelock tasks at low speed, as well as radio and network sync tasks, while putting regular apps on the fast CPU. Not sure that the user can see all 8 cores, so it comes as a gimmick.

If they get it working with LTE, it sounds good... But it still has a lack of LTE, and then there's a huge diversity of LTE, TDD and FD and all the crazy bands in various countries. ie see the iphone 5c/s variants, it's huge.

Side by side, they are both fast and efficient, and without LTE, the Exynos is probably going to last longer during usage. Check youtube for the comparison video.
[Galaxy S III General] Ayushsinghal:
Thanks for the reply...

Maybe I would buy an Exynos version coz LTE is not a big deal

as it is not arrived yet in our country...

Secondly they both perform equal in YouTube comparisons..

Thirdly Warranty support... Which anyways I am gonaa void :p
[Galaxy S III General] saulee.:
The development for the note 3 snapdragon version should be bigger than the exynos one. You know that Samsung does not free exynos drivers so no big deal.
[Galaxy S III General] arrish4:
Yeah! I sell my s3. Last night I bought s4. I love this phone
[Galaxy S III General] JackHanAnLG:
Im buying a Xperia Z ultra as soon as I get paid :P
[Galaxy S III General] nonyhaha:
i said i would not buy another samsung, but i ended up buying the s4. flashed in less than 1 hour cyanogenmod. pretty pleased about it. HTC one did not have a comparable camera(crappy). Xperia z/1/ultra look too fragile in case of dropping, harder to get bootloader unlocked. Huawei ascend p6 has low hardware specs, nokia lumia 1020 has limited memory options and very high photo to photo time. I would have loved the 1020 if it hat maximum 2s photo to photo waiting time and external sd support.
[Galaxy S III General] FinGerS o FuDgE:
My contract has run out now and had seriously considered switching to either the Nexus 5 or LG G2 as I was getting loads of sudden freezes (10-20 times a day) but after doing the DFG fix its worked faultlessly for 2 weeks now and don't know if its worth holding out until early next year and see what the S5 or HTC One 2/M8 brings to the table. Now rolling on a monthly contract with 3 Network with unlimited data for £18 a month which is very nice :D:D
