***The Official Samsung Galaxy S III Thread***

Not sure if that's better or worse.

Worse. Smaller red pixels degrade IQ, they've done it to improve power consumption (or make it brighter?)

Is there any evidence as to whether the exynos > tegra3?

Yep. 32nm HKMG, more bandwidth, asynchronous cores (confirmed?) are the main headlines. You'd defiantly take it over Tegra 3 if you had a choice, probably not the S4.

You going for a One S?

Not enough storage space really. Think I'll wait a bit longer for the Hayabusa and WWDC in June. If nothing happens then it'll be a HTC One 'something' (that 4.7"/design is just soooo nice ) or a cheap Xperia S/P.

To be honest I like the look of it more than the One X.

I'm not minding the looks after watching the videos.. seems very Samsung-esque, so it's not like they've taken a step backwards or anything (IMO).

I am not sold on the silly things like the touch the screen, rotate the phone whilst on lock screen for the camera, especially when you can just drag the camera Icon on the lock screen to get there even faster! Or am I missing something, it seems like fluff and tat might be the order of the day to get more iOS owners familiar..

Have they abandoned their senses!

Would you notice it normally though?

 

[Electroshadow]

I guess that person that said the galaxy note was the successor to the d'art was right all along.... I can see the note sales going up.

I think it would look alright if Samsung didn't make so many galaxy models, it just resembles some of their low end stuff

Sarge how does the dual core krait S4 compare to the exynos 4 quad?

Also I can see this being pretty poor for battery life due to the eye track tech. front camera constantly on monitoring/scanning your eyes???

As for camera features, from what I have seen so far the one series still seems far better especially the gallery editing part.

Guy using the camera here, looks similar to the S2 just obviously no shutter lag.

I think the Sense one looks better though.

Atleast it has a LED notification!

 

[grudas]

probably a hidden one then!

 

[Intratech]

Time to wait and see how the Haiwei high end device performs. If the HTC One X had a microSD card slot it would have made it a very difficult decision.

 

[Robbo]

probably a hidden one then!

It will be the white around the home button I imagine?

 

[Danger Phoenix]

Ooo, LED Notification... now that really does help me decide

 

[thebandit]

I wonder if anyone in the hands on will run any benchies , that would be interesting

My brother has a Nexus, the reds looked way over saturated, if this makes reds look more natural, It'll be an improvement to me..!

could well be at least it has one! i do miss it in my s2.. tbh i dont mind the design now.. at first it was a bit "meh" but its growing on me.. like the new 1 series bmw does you know.. "Eww" at first.. few months later "meh its alright" a year later "i quite like this" i wont lie i dont like the glossy finish and i will never buy a white phone again so if i ever come to decision to get it i will get in marble blue.. over all im not disappointed by any means it looks like a great phone and it will be a good competitor to the ONE X

 

[Fallen god]

I'd rather they just carried on copying Apple, it's clear their designers are pretty awful by themselves.

Really makes no sense, at times samsungs design really blows everything out of the water, when you look at there new series 9 laptop its just beautiful high grade material and just oozes premium. There Omina 7 is a very nicely designed phone.



Rushed home, cancelled train, gf telling me its amazing and then I see this sigh.

Seen the official pictures from android central and I like the look of the device. Though there is a hint that samsung are moving away from litigation by apple as the device looks nothing like the iphone compared to the previous devices. I like the curved edges, easier on the face. Will be a nice device for the new people to smartphones.

 

[Nexus18]

Yeah more camera features on the one mobiles and nicer UI too IMO.

EDIT:

I love how everyone thinks "oh burst mode and HDR", yet the one mobiles have had this for the last few weeks now!

Reminds me a lot of the majority of owners of the iphones when they introduce new features that have been around before!

 

[413x]

Is it rgb?

UI is something you can always change on android so really i dont see it as a problem out of the box maybe but i dont like sense either and i do prefer TW tbh.. features id say its a good balance between them both have something nice about them.. very comparable phones

no clear winner this time like it was with sensation vs s2.. samsung wont sell 20 million this time too im sure of it..
