Apparently the final design photo.....

I wont put too much credit as its from youmobile..

That's more PhotoSHOP than a photo.

If anything, That more resembles a Galaxy SII Plus handset which is due!

As i said "Apparently"

I hope it isnt to be honest... wont be upgrading from the S2 anyway...

I'd sooner sidegrade to a Galaxy Nexus and go custom ROM if the SIII looks anything like that

At least then a few of my boxes would be ticked, big screen, high res, pure ICS...

Final design photo my arse. It's not even a photo.

I hope this comes out soon, I want to get rid of my Desire

HTC One X due out on the 5 April according to O2 https://mobile.twitter.com/O2/status/180252562182766592. Unless Samsung are going to announce very soon I think they've screwed up.

Not when it comes to people interested in phones, but the big sales figures (general public) will happily go for a HTC device.

they will anyway... but it won't stop samsung claiming the crown again if they manage to do what they have done with s2

They'll lose a lot of sales though if they don't have it out sooner rather than later.

It won't be as easy this time around. HTC seems to have improved in a lot of area's that they were weak in last year. Screen's have reached a point where they aren't going to improve much. If Samsung use either a 4212 or 4412 SoC then their SoC might be worse than tegra 3, or at best slightly better. If they are using a higher clocked Mali 400 then the GPU's will be similar. However if they managed to sneak A15 cores and/or a T-604/658 or 543MP2 GPU then they will have a very decent paper advantage.

Tbh we dont know what samsung holds under its slave so i cant say if htc got it this time..

Locke · 15 Mar 2012 at 23:12

This is probably similar to what Samsung is doing with ceramics.

xGBHxPegasus · 16 Mar 2012 at 07:25

I dont think samsung have anything to worry about, everyone I know that has a HTC said they wont be buying another as they've all had problems with them.

Alty · 16 Mar 2012 at 07:32

have been waiting patiently for a new phone (originally thought about the Nexus) and have considered holding out for the SGS III but tbh am tempted with the HTC One X now.... *sigh* is it me tho or does the one X have dedicated buttons at the bottom of the handset? I thought the next ICS phones were going to have buttons integrated into the screen itself - do we know if the SGS III will have said dedicated buttons or screen integrated ones?

Jabbs · 16 Mar 2012 at 08:52

Be interesting to know the final specs of this.

My desire has been flawless for nigh on two years, am seriously looking at the one x as an upgrade as the s3 looks to be quite a ways off.

Only thing putting me off one x is tegra 3 that people keep saying is rubbish? Want a phone capable of running some decent looking games etc.

One of the things i am glad of, the physical buttons to go home/back etc are so useful i really dont see why people want rid of them.
