The Official Samsung Galaxy S III Thread

Well, the rumour mill has started rolling.

So far we have a quad core SoC, 12MP camera and a HD resolution. All on a device to be released in April.
My Galaxy Nexus was always going to be a stop gap until this was released, let's hope for good things!

I'm glad the release dates aren't changing though (I think!)

uvarvu · 7 Feb 2012 at 08:52

Looks like the unveiling could be set for 22nd March.

Pocket Lint have posted a pic of the SIII that was leaked on a retailer's website. If that's the real deal then it does look most impressive.

EDIT: Doh, it's a fake!

The thing is, there are only so many things you can do on a phone that require the silly amounts of power we're now able to produce.

Who actually needs quad-core in a phone? I doubt anybody really does.

That VM stuff that O2 is working on with vmware might come in handy for this. Something about two phone images that you can switch between, one for home and one for work. Your company has full control over the work image but you can do what you like with the home one.

The phone in Locke's picture does look rather good, if not a bit Note like in appearance. I guess that once phones go buttonless there is only so much you can do with the design

The bezel on this phone is also enormous. "Edge to edge" screen this is not. Phone Arena is speculating that the smartphone may be the rumored Galaxy B, in which case we're sorry for putting you through yet another "leak." If this is what Samsung is pumping out these days, why not just roll over and let Apple have its way.

That bezel is horrendous.

It has gone up on El Reg too.

Hope there isn't too much buyer's remorse over in the One X thread

The site was down for a bit, but is back now. Countdown is to midday today.

It's still down for me. OMG THE ANTICIPATION!

They're going to eat their own dog poo.

Exynos 4 Quad is on the way!

uvarvu · 27 Apr 2012 at 14:44

Nasty? I think it's shiny.

I just hope the damned thing is DURABLE. The Nexus is anything but which is one of the reasons why I got rid of mine.

What's wrong with the durability of the Nexus?

I assume you're talking about the not so scratch proof screen?

Yep exactly. I managed to scratch mine in days despite treating it well. Hell, my old Nexus S resisted scratches better!

The blue colour does look quite nice. I'm not sure which colour I'd choose but as I said in previous posts my number one worry is the screen durability.

uvarvu · 2 May 2012 at 14:21

I'm not even packing an Android device at the moment. Perhaps I can get hold of the APK and load it on the SDK

uvarvu · 2 May 2012 at 18:22

Anyone fancy a guzzle at p4u on Oxford street tomorrow. There will be free food

I've got a free afternoon in London tomorrow, might have to pop in

Who else is in? Maybe we could have an impromptu meetup and even go to Bodeans! OMG OMG OMG I'm not sure what excites me more - the phone or the pork!

Good on them for having a menu button. This will help bring a consistent UI which is a bonus.

uvarvu · 3 May 2012 at 19:13

The blue version is very nice

uvarvu · 3 May 2012 at 19:15

Maybe the nexus owners will be able to get a port of that lol.

What are they thinking with the 'blue' model:

Didn't take long to get scuffs around the headphone jack there!
