[Galaxy S III General] aaa:
I will celebrate the first anniversary of my S3.

I received my S3 exacty on June 1.st, 2012 :)

I still do not plan to replace my S3...well....not now at least.

I wonder what I will choose and find next year :D

Note 3 or 4? S5 or S6? Jolla? iPhone 6? Nokia yada2? Nexus 5 or 6? Dunno yet ...hehehe
[Galaxy S III General] DeVilio:
Ok so tell me what the hell? S5? S6?hummmm... what if samsung is on the same way as apple? No BIG amazing phone like s1-->S2--->S3!! Rather sth like s3-->s4(oh whell, we have irda... oh look, and new apps.. whoooo!!) Ya know what i mean. No big updates (hw), small, no wow, no amazing... like iphone. Fans will buy it anyway...

taptaptaptap.... omg!! i'am S3!!
[Galaxy S III General] Carter0108:
Either a Nexus 5 or a note 3. No intention in getting the S4/5 really.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
HTC One
[Galaxy S III General] jshashwat93:
The next phone with 1080p 5" display, not plastic build, external sd support, an open source SoC to enjoy awesome and perfect AOSP on it and its popular so I can expect heavy development support. Will this dream ever come true?

EDIT : Just realized xperia Z fulfills all those conditions.. But the screen and speakers are so unimpressive. Wish it was better.. And holding it feels like holding a sharp edged object.
[Galaxy S III General] EcPercy:
I am thinking something like the s6 or maybe the htc three... I don't see a reason why I need to upgrade the s3 anytime soon unless I broke it and it couldn't be repaired, but that won't be happening since I buy my phones outright...
[Galaxy S III General] Darkchaser:
Xperia Z. That's also what I'm looking at. Sony has released the AOSP source code, and it already has a bunch of AOSP ROMs working including CM, AOKP and PA:)

[Galaxy S III General] Yi Kwang-Sun:
I just bought the S3 so for me it's the 'new' device.

I hope to keep the S3 for at least 2/3 years :highfive:

For the next mobile I'll see... if I'm satisfied with Samsung or I'll move to Sony....

My brother has a Sony Xperia so time will tell which is best.

For what I see now S3 is better :good:
[Galaxy S III General] Geordie Lad:
I was gonna buy the S4 on release day like I did with S1,2&3 but apart from a relatively tiny real world speed improvement and extra camera quality I really don't need there really is no phone worth updating to next.

So I guess I'm gonna hold onto my S3 and wait for a phone that's got some hardware features worth going for.
[Galaxy S III General] mputtr:
htc or sony experia. preferably htc if they bring back expandable storage.
[Galaxy S III General] KMino:
Galaxy S5!

Hoping the next model is redesigned and has perfected hardware :D
[Galaxy S III General] SnarSnarf:
" which will be your next handset after i9300?"

Most likely either the Galaxy S5, Nexus 5/6 or the next HTC flagship handset - my contact ends in 2014 September.
[Galaxy S III General] Simonna:
I'm thinking to upgrade it to Nexus 5,when it's will be released, and I think it's will be awesome device like the rumors says it's will probably have 3GB of RAM!:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III General] dante501:
Was the S4 and now the Xperia Z.
[Galaxy S III General] simple-man:
After battery life and hot battery problem

In galaxy s3 even s4

I will change to nexus mobile

or sony mobiles its smooth and beautiful and very hard to break and its working even under water .. thats about xperia z .. what about sony mobiles in the feature ??!!
[Galaxy S III General] ateam55:
At least a year before I can upgrade, but I'm currently leaning towards something Nexus-y. Then again, my S3 is wonderful so there is every possibility that I will stick with Samsung!
[Galaxy S III General] cristianhg:
I think s5 or equivalent htc.. sony. I dont like raw android without samsung enhancements.

[Galaxy S III General] ballsofsteel:
I'd probably say s5. By that time hopefully the hardware would be good enough to run incredibly fast without the need to tweak or disable features.
[Galaxy S III General] Techniques:
I would get a S6. I still think the S3 has a few more years of life so eh. Might get a HTC One X+. I like the look of Sense 4.

I typed this by hand.
[Galaxy S III General] beeboss:
Galaxy s4 Google edition
[Galaxy S III General] hackboy89:
iphone with >4" screen or galaxy s5.. ftw
[Galaxy S III General] terranoid:
definitely S5.
[Galaxy S III General] m00h:
I come from the iOS and I couldn't even imagine using it again after almost a year with my S3 and CM.

As for my next handset, it's difficult to tell yet. As I resist to support the product-lifecycles, which are gettings shorter from year to year, I will probably stick with the S3 for at least a year, probably even a lot longer. But as it comes to choosing a new device, battery life and the ability to run CM will probably be main points of making a decision.
[Galaxy S III General] ROFLkopter:
I only recently got my S3 on a 24 month contract, so by the time that's up they'll probably be on the S6 (or whatever name they decide to use for their flagship phone in 2 years time). That'll probably be the phone I get next. After trying different brands I've always gone back to Samsung devices.
[Galaxy S III General] HAAAAAATIUUUU:
HTC One or Note III or Nexus 5
[Galaxy S III General] keann99:
S5

I'm still waiting for my contract renewal probably at that time I will get SGS5 or if Sony continues to support Devs then probably the latest Sony Flagship at that time
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Almost 100% certain that I'll get a One.
[Galaxy S III General] bootx1:
I'm in contract until July 2014, so will have to see where Sony, Sammy, Google and Ubuntu are by then. I think HTML5 is going to open up the speed of handsets and enable better power consumption. Ultimately, battery life will be a major factor for me. More manufacturers should offer stock options for extended battery power, like the Razr Maxx (was it?). The next Nexus needs an SD slot too. I didn't buy the current one due to that. Sammy features are killer though. Location in calendar entries integrating with Google Now could the one deciding factor.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Nexus phones will never feature an SD slot. Google has already explained why.
[Galaxy S III General] nbates66:
I had decided before beginning the Contract for my Galaxy SIII i9305 that my next phone after this one would be a windows phone, whichever one happens to be the choice at the end of 24 months(so obviously no current model).
[Galaxy S III General] swift2fly:
looks like i'll have an s4 after the production of our film. Samsung is giving us four S4s four note2s, a tablet and a smart tv...all for product placement shots.

Already switched to Note 2 10 days back. Sold 4 months old 32 gb Galaxy S3 for INR 25,000. Got Note 2 for INR 31,766 from Samsung India E-Store.

Next device will most probably be Note 3 :)
[Galaxy S III General] -A-P-M-:
S4 google edition is based in Snapdragon 600 CPU (i9505).
[Galaxy S III General] jeremija8:
Definitely nothing from samsung. Probably gonna try nexus line ;)
[Galaxy S III General] gsw5700:
Maybe the HTC T6...rumoured spec 5.9 inches of Screen Size along with the Full HD Display powered with the 2.3GHz of Quad Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor along with the upcoming Key Lime Pie Android OS. Just like HTC One smartphone, this device too comes with the Ultrapixel camera with LED Flash and OIS along with the front facing camera of 2.1MP which comes with the wide angle lens. In lines with the continued Beats Audio support, this device too come with the HTC Boom sound and Beats Audio. In terms of memory this device comes with the 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory. In terms of battery life, this device comes with 3300mAH of battery which is almost the best in class.

Wont get a new till s6 gets out

So wud be prbly s6
[Galaxy S III General] erto90:
Absolutely no samsung! moved to a HTC One (after trying s4 for 2 days), a paradise
[Galaxy S III General] Amcunian:
Shali wait for Note 3. Can't really see the point of going to S4 from the S3
[Galaxy S III General] shoxyy:
Really liking the s3 but next phone will be a phone that has real open source benefits. I think off Sony, HTC or Nexus. The HTC one aosp edition is really interesting :)
[Galaxy S III General] PacketJ:
Same here. Since I'm a fan of AOSP, any phone that has true support for open source will do. But for now, there's no reason to switch from S3, so far so goodm
[Galaxy S III General] trane5700:
What is interesting? I'm not fan of HTC batteries!:mad:

Thinking about S4, but reading about a lot of defects, I began to sway in my choice! :silly:
[Galaxy S III General] Kinobe:
HTC One, non google edition. I like the thought that I CAN go back to bloatware if ever I want to. Physically no difference anyways so why not, I can always put AOSP on the standard HTC One myself if i want a clean feel.
[Galaxy S III General] Simonna:
I am not decided yet but perhaps Nexus 5 or phablet (can be Note 3)
[Galaxy S III General] Madarox:
It's hard to tell,samsung got a tough competition this year from htc and sony.Not to mention Motorola for the anticipated moto xfone.I won't be upgrading any time soon(maybe in 2015 I will)but if motorola could release a device equal to the gs4 spec-wise with kevlar,then my next device might be a motorola.
[Galaxy S III General] _PR3DATOR_:
Galaxy S5

hi there :D I have money right now to buy the S4 but I really love my S3 and I will wait for the S5
[Galaxy S III General] wicked1683:
HTC One Max (T6 - "rumor for now")

IF

1. They will add an SD Card slot

2. Will use the latest Gorilla Glass3

3. 5.9 screen size

4. Must be the same processor the Note3 will use (Snapdragon 600 or the latest 800, 800 is better though)

5. Must be the same RAM like the note 3 or Higher

Optional: They need to fix their menu selection as sometimes it wasting a part of the screen

WHY HTC

- HTC has less bloats, I don't need Samsung bloats, what I need is more usable UI

- In my own opinion HTC Custom Android FW is better, proof is Sense5 has less UI stuttering compared to Samsung's Custom Android FW

- HTC gives changed log

- HTC design is way better (Front facing speaker is great)

WHAT I WILL MISS IN SAMSUNG

- Super AMOLED display, but I can live without it. In fact HTC One is sharper than S4

- Maybe it's plastic body because IMO this helps to reduce the phone's temperature. But who doesn't want an aluminum body? :laugh:

OTHER ADVANTAGES OF SAMSUNG vs HTC

1. 13 MP vs 4 ULTRA MP... If you do lots of cropping, the camera of HTC is a disappointment. But in my case, If I want to take a very good photo, I will use my DSLR. Phones are for Point and shoot only, 4MP is ok with me. But maybe not for others

2. I want an S-Pen, but I believe HTC will not include this for now
[Galaxy S III General] addisbad@gmail.com:
-.-

what else did you expect from yhe galaxy s4?

I mean thats all you can do with hardware these days. .

and fyi its the only phone with big.LITTLE architecture and A15 cores. best hardware in the market.
[Galaxy S III General] stevoswifty:
Galaxy s4 or a note2 kinda fallen for samsung now
[Galaxy S III General] Glebun:
there will be no Nexus 5 most likely
[Galaxy S III General] barlerer:
Probably the Note 3 if it's not going to be too big.
[Galaxy S III General] apisfires:
Will go to Note 3,but if screen size not big enough will buy Note 8..
[Galaxy S III General] Simonna:
Why will not? Of course that it's will!
[Galaxy S III General] Rajeev:
Sony is started an Open Source Project to Xperia S and now Gods only knows where is it.. :thumbdown::D

Now they started one for Xperia Z.. That also only Gods know when they stopped it..:D
[Galaxy S III General] dxppxd:
I'll take a break from samsung phones, really disappointed with the s3 built quality.

New xperia or nexus.
[Galaxy S III General] negrobembon:
5.9 screen? this phone looks good
[Galaxy S III General] disclaimernotice:
I don't think there is a significant difference between the processors of 2012 and 2013 in terms of real world performance. The 2013 flagships are merely faster, but the 2012 ones were already fast to begin with.

Compared to computers, the new Haswell processors are undeniably superior to the 3rd gen processors with about 50% additional battery life. That's the kind of improvement I want to see in android hardware before I decide to replace my S3. You might think the Octa core's big little architecture saves battery, but reviews have all shown that it only gets around 5 hours of screen time, similar to my s3.

So yeah; the point is that the mobile gpus and CPUs of 2013 are merely incremental upgrades to those of 2012. There's really no need to replace the S3 yet.
[Galaxy S III General] negrobembon:
what battery do u use? the stock one? if yes then what kind of voodoo does it have?
[Galaxy S III General] disclaimernotice:
Yes, I use the stock 2100mAh battery with Siyah kernel.
[Galaxy S III General] Glebun:
no, not necessarily.

[Galaxy S III General] BLooD_LorD:
next nexus or htc one i think!:good:
[Galaxy S III General] kaynpayn:
I'd love to say nothing from Samsung but Google itself seemed to go for Samsung for this next nexus with the s4. It's pretty much the best hardware around they could choose and has their pure experience. I don't see them putting out anything different anytime soon, so that's probably going to be my pick. But I'm getting fed from s3's 1gb of ram so if I manage to get a cheap nexus 4 before, I'm switching. I can live without the external sd but having no real multitask on a device of this grade is unforgivable.
[Galaxy S III General] Glebun:
get the HTC One google edition
[Galaxy S III General] isholay:
S5 only if samsung stepped up on updating its older phones to the latest firmware, imagine GS3 still running 4.1.2 after 4.2 was released by Google in November last year.
[Galaxy S III General] nexy33:
Any pure Google phone so I don't have to wait months on manufacturers to add their bloat ware to it for a release
[Galaxy S III General] mariosraptor:
I have already stepped away from my 2 last Sammy phones. Had s3 bought the note2 and now I have an Nexus 4.

I don't think they are worth the money they are being sold and the slow updates they get.

7 months passed since 4.2 intro.
[Galaxy S III General] negrobembon:
you said it bro! for 500$(Depends on the country) we should be able to have at least two apps opened at the same time

I will NEVER EVER buy a Samsung again. For the casual nerd out there which wants a cheap iPhone samsung is great, regular updates for a while good performance and stuff. But my next phone will definitely a Google phone.
[Galaxy S III General] farid28:
i have SGS 3 but for me I'm note kidding if Apple will release next iphone 5s or 6 with a 4.8 or 5" screen and 2go ram it will definitely be may next phone whene it will be jailbreaked i think ios is more stable OS and have better quality App and i like the easy way of managing may phone content with one software " itunes "

really im not satisfied with my Android experience i have own an iphone 3G and iP3GS than i Switched to HTC DHD and i switched back to iphone 4S than to SGS 3 but may IOS experience is always better than Android im not a fanboy it's just my opinion
[Galaxy S III General] Shudder123:
possibly note 3. though i'm just worried it may be too big lol

I intend to keep my S3 for a while yet so the phone to replace it does not yet exist. Current top end models are an upgrade, but I'm not sure they're enough of an upgrade to spend big money on right now.

I guess I will prefer a modern handset, but mostly with stock android, I'm sick of it like the most manifacturers dont release the source-code of their devices and people like we with our galaxys3 have to use crappy cm or aokp/aosp builds. Better get a phone with a chipset not made by sammy like snapdragon 600 or 800 and enjoy the phone experience with stock android. possibly the next galaxy with stock android
[Galaxy S III General] DesertHawk:

[Galaxy S III General] rayiskon:
I moved from the s3 to a nexus4, my s3 journey was meant to be temporary in first place, i must say i loved the camera on the s3, and it was an OK overall phone, but fear from sudden death (i had the "insane" chip) , samsung's typical wake lag, and the poor ram management even when bloatware is removed, made me make the move quicker.

I moved to the s3 coming from a galaxy nexus, after i got a green burn in line of pixels under the notification bar, even though i always used minimal brightness and took care of it, and that made me sell my gnex earlier than i planned.

In all cases, despite the poor camera on the nexus 4 , i'm happy to be back with the nexus line (i'm a stock android fan). no more samsungs for me, no more samsung-made devices (nexus or other), no amoled, no SDS, no delayed updates, no crappy user support...
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
I bought an HTC One and later on sold my S3 off. I were unhappy with the One, so I switched to an S4 despite saying I wouldn't ever go with a Samsung device again. This device is awesome, and since it's a Qualcomm SoC, it doesn't have any wakeup lag.

I will never go with exynos again, though, but since it's Qualcomm, it'll have a more than decent aosp experience.

[Galaxy S III General] kurtkbee:
I am going back to using nexus after my S3 has run its course.

I will miss some TW features, but it sucks being abandoned by Samsung (firmware wise) after the new model galaxy comes out.

Apple ios and nexus android phones provide updates to older devices (which are still very capable), but there is no incentive for Samsung to do this once they sell you the phone.

So, I am waiting for the nexus 5, or some guarantee that the HTC one (nexus model ) will provide upgrade based on Google's release of Android.
[Galaxy S III General] wicked1683:
ok, here's another contender.. I will absolutely get this if this is true! :fingers-crossed: and I will go Nexus for life! hehehe

Sony Honami to Launch as Google Nexus 5

What we’re told to expect from the Sony Honami is a 5-inch 1080p HD screen, a quad-core Snapdragon 800 CPU running at 2.3GHz, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of expandable memory, a 13-megapixel rear-camera and a sizeable 3,000mAh battery. And just as has become the standard for Sony’s top-shelf lines, the Honami will also be dust-proof, water-proof and quite painfully gorgeous.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Expandable memory? No way in hell. Google has dropped that years ago.
[Galaxy S III General] wicked1683:
I believe that's 32GB of Internal memory as I'm also convinced that Nexus will not include Expandable memory ever :)

Well, this is just a rumor but if this becomes a reality, omg mother of all smartphone is here hehe
