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

Well one thing is for certain, the back can easily be replaced by a 3rd party manufacturer with an aluminium/carbon case, that makes the entire back 100x more amazing unlike on the S2 where only the battery cover itself is transformed.

I don't know if there will be a teardown of the GS3 but if there is then that will show how easy the casing is to open up but looking at the shell design it looks pretty straight forward and put together in 3 pieces much like some of those older Sony Ericsson phones with a sandwich shell where components stay on the middle section and you simply replace the front and back.

I smell a lucrative market for the likes of CaseMate etc!
 
Too soon to start the accessories thread?

Quite like the flip case. Not much protection, but I'll probably get one.

Wireless charging base, talk of replacing the case back with one that has an inductive coil built in.

Less expired, more like they noticed a pricing error. Handset is now £209 +12x£51. Hopefully they honour the orders placed.

Not to be too technical but 8MP is not a sensor type!

No... Really? :p

I'd be very surprised if it's not a 1/3.2", 1.4µm, RBG, BSI CMOS fabbed at Kyushu or one of Samsung's plants. HTC and Samsung have been using the same sensor options in the last year. You might even get a SGS3 and HOX with sensors from the same 300mm wafer!
 
I like the flip case too ... Ive dropped my sgs2 once in 13months and only on to carpet...only the mesh back cover on it ....were as my wife has had her's 2 months and dropped loads :( still ok tho

Just reading the link above, not sure of the accuracy of the statement. As Intratech said earlier, can't find much info on it.
Both cameras look same. Nothing much known about the sensor SGS3 uses. It's S5C73M3 BSI sensor. Whereas HOX uses the Samsung sensor S5K3H2YX. This was one of sensors in SGS2. HOX has the same sensor used in SGS2. F stop is much better in HTC -- 2 compared to 2.6 in SGS3. But that's just one part of story. We have to check the sensor capabilities. Like I mentioned HTC is using the sensor from SGS2, and SGS3 uses a brand new sensor. And HOX never proved to be best shooter even before the SGS3 launch.

Is everyone using Micro SIMs? I will have to get a cutter from Amazon to get my full sized one down to correct size.

Has anyone had any experience getting one from Vodafone?

From what ive read you can just walk in and get one from them and activate it at a later time, guessing you need to have a contact with them.
 
I have the Lumia 800 which I'm happy with.. But in a drunken accident last night, I've managed to get huge scratches all down the screen.. So I'm now interested in this phone! :p

Anyone know when it's planned for release?
