Indeed, 100% brightness is way over the top. Around 50% is hardly a compromise, it's actually better.

 

[mrochester]

Your eyesight must be poor if you need 100% brightness! It's way too bright for ease of use and reading at anything above 50% on my S2 and the Desire before it but for outdoor use in daylight it's fine.

Nope, 20:20 vision here. Reducing the brightness just makes the screen look.... not very bright. I aint putting up with a dull picture!

I only use 100% in a bright room indoors/outdoors - normally set it at 25-50% normal use.

 

[grudas]

mine is on auto and im fine with that.. 100% is crazy bright.. no way could i live with that :O

 

[krooton]

Put a Gnex next to a one X and i'm sure you would see the difference

That's down to the pixel sub-matrix, GNex has Pentile RGBG, S3 should be SAMOLED+ HD, so with will have the normal RGB matrix.

The vibrance of colours and true blacks are what make SAMOLED+ for me, everything else looks inferior to me.

I turn brightness all the way up, but in Arizona that's a MUST to see the screen! haha

At night I use -27% on my SGS, otherwise my eyes catch fire

S3 revealed?

ugly as ****

I wouldn't say ugly, just bland, which leads me to think it could just be the hardware in a disguise so that the networks could test it without Samsung revealing the final version.

Or it could be fake. This time in 2 weeks we'll know...

 

[Robbo]

I hope that's just the carrier testing shell...

 

[Shamikebab]

There's an iffy plastic rim surrounding to the whole device that has apparently been added not to ruin the surprise of how the device looks ahead of its official launch.

 

[mrk]

I think it is. The S2 came in different shells in different markets. Also, 8MP camera? I don't think this is the real deal.

 

[robj20]

If thats true it will be the one x for me.

 

[sarge78]

Looks like a genuine Samsung to me.

Where's my smaller dual core version that had the i9300 number?

 

[Christo]

Oh dear, I hope this isnt it. A no no for me if it is. Im assuming if so the previous leaked factory image is the same design as the one in the video but with a button..

Well I'll save my judgement until I see what the phone actually looks like, and not a dodgy plastic casing.

Dummy strip around the edge?

 

[gilljoy]

this may be a test design, so the actual look of the phone would change.

I'm hoping for this. There is also some talk that this isnt the galaxy s3 but a phone equivilent to the htc one s, probably completely wrong.

At 320dpi there is no way this isn't the top model i think!

Rather obviously.
