I guess that someone refers to a kind of fruit that doctors hate most...

Funny, i get this feeling that a certain company is behaving like a spoilt brat.
And I do not mean Sammy.

with so many sales i see devs targeting the mali gpu and forgetting tegra exists

Compared to the iphone it's nothing really.
You think they'll sell another 15m in a month......

We have a lack of devs for SGS2, I mean at any HTC device section you have a ''team'' working behind MIUI for exemple, making the dev of the rom pretty fast and perfect.
Here we had a good launch of roms for 2 weeks then nothing...
I am sure we can port HTC Sense 3.0 into sgs2 but we need more devs

Lets think about this in a different way - suppose apple licenses iOS to other vendors, do you think the iphone (and not all iOS phones) would sell 18 million per quarter. It's a very hypothetical situation, coz we all know that apple would never give licenses to other companies. Right now the scenario is that anyone who wants an apple/ios phone, u have to buy iphone. Similarly we could argue that if GS2 was the only android phone, it would sell much more than whatever its selling right now.
imho, sales figures of GS2 are quite good considering no-less than 5 "premium" android phones available at present, and maybe another 100 medium-low priced options in market. If they sell anything more than 10million, it's a bonus.

2,9 million or so of that were sold in Korea I think, and Koreans are crazy for everything Samsung does, so it's not a huge number for me. Apple sells 3 million iPhones in a week.

In koreaherald says clearly: "Samsung Electronics Co., the world’s second-largest maker of mobile phones, said Sunday its overseas sales of the Galaxy S2 smartphone topped the 3 million mark 55 days after its launch."
If you are correct, then the total numbers of S2 are 5.9 millions. Consider that S2 isn't even launched in many countries including the US ...

Apple had better plans for Samsung. They are now requesting for a court injunction banning Samsung's from being sold and should be removed from all shelves. Bastards...

For those comparing apple iPhone sales to SGS2 Sales....its like apples' vs oranges. No pun intended. But how many models of phones are out there made by Samsung sold in a week vs apples iPhone per week? That's part of what makes Android the number one OS out there...the ability to have your choice between more than ONE piece of hardware every time an update to the OS comes out

Foxconn CEO: "New iPhone will put Galaxy S III to shame"

http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Foxconn-Hon-Hai-Galaxy-S-III-iPhone-5-apple,16090.html
I nearly chuckled when I saw this one.

I guess that means it must run Android then, because if it runs iOS it doesnt stand a chance of doing so..
Lets be frank here, it will look much the same as the current iPhone (boring), it will feel much the same to use (boring), it will be locked down and restricted like the current iPhone (boring), and will have the same (boring) baristas, emos are douches queueing up for it on day one. Ill pass.

Is it a ploy from apple to stop people from buying s3??
Only the facts will tell the truth.. there is no point in giving statements without concrete facts. Bad move apple...

Galaxy s3 has already made iphone 5 to shiver...the big thing is...iphone 5 is yet a prototype and apple feared that Galaxy may put iphone 5 to shame so they pleadged to ban s3 sales in usa... now tel me whos afraid ??? and whos ashamed??..
Sent from my GT-I9100G using xda premium

At this point Apple buyers are like BMW buyers, they will buy any old ridiculous turd as long as it has the badge on, so really statements like this are just sermons for the iSheep, and pretty meaningless to the rest of us. As long as Apple makes it they will buy it, why? because Apples says its best and therefore it is. Its almost a religion now..

But dude, it has an apple logo.
...

Some rumors I've read claim that it will be equipped with a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4.
I think that a good optimization can make the difference, placing Apple's smartphone between HTC One S and Android quad-core phones.
IMHO Apple will put a enormous capacity battery into the iPhone...

I guess since we're comparing a phone that will be out several months later that doesn't even exist yet; we'll compare it to another like phone... I'm sure the GSIV will put the iPhone 5 to shame then lol.

I cant see that, Apple will want their own CPU in there (and by that i mean a modified Samsung as the A4 and A5 were). It will probably have the A5x.

PErsonally I'm quite excited for the iPhone 5 and what it will bring.
Having had a look at the rubbish minor "new" features for iOS, I'm thinking Apple will have drastically improved the hardware of iPhone 5.
That is good for the whole industry

I'm sure the new iPhone will be excellent. Without new iPhones and new Galaxy's wouldn't it get boring. These companies need to push out great phones to keep giving us great products.

I don't think smarts has anything to do with it really. Rooting and installing ROM's is a whole lot easier than jailbreaking and using it's related tools, etc..
I just think the 'average' Android user and the 'average' iOS user could really care less..

every new device,if the job is done well, is goint to become leader at the time of its introduction it will be same with iphone 6 and then again with galaxy s4, etc.

I think it was a clever move by foxconn. The more people that get the s3 the less that will be available 2 sign up for a 2 year contract on the new iphone and the less orders foxconn will receive . And consequently the less money they make.
I personally think the iphone is easier for people to use who are novices. And it's more stable. However the s3 if you know how can do so much more.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA

Ok before I get started I would like to stress I am no fanboy of either apple or android... I simply like good products... So no flaming please.
Now down to business, the biggest problem with the S3 (yes I own one) is the fact that samsung (and all non GED devices to be fair) seem to forget the fundamental rule... Optimize the software to run effectively on the hardware. The galaxy nexus (Yes I own one) for me runs just as fast as the s3 in terms of web browsing and general use... Yes the animations are slightly smoother on the s3 but how is it possible for the browser to not have any significant speed improvement??
Fact of the matter is that apple will optimize the iPhone 5 to the extent that it doesn't need the hardware the s3 has to run as fast (rest assured as always it always does, will flatten the s3 in benchmarks and browser speeds).
Apple seem to understand that optimisation is the way forward and this is why the next Nexus is a no brainer... Touchwiz can do all it does but it will never run as smoothly nor work as well as AOSP.

Samsung loses court case, >$1B

According to USA Today, Samsung lost the vast majority of the substantial patent violation issues in the CA suit with damages of over $1B awarded to Crapple.
Unfortunately, it looks like Samsung is in pretty deep poo just about now. It won't affect OG Epic users, as we are using EOL hardware. But for those of us considering upgrades it might have some impact. I'm thinking long and hard about buying an SGS3 or any other Sammy product right now. They are going to be a mess for at least a year while all of this patent stuff gets worked out.
Anyone else have thoughts on what kind of impact this might have?

I just want to get a Samsung Captive Glide, switch to Net10/Straight Talk, and call it a day. I have no idea what this means as far as downloading or updating apps or updating the system specs or whatever. But that's all I want until the NEXT powerful Android with a keyboard comes out.
Right now I just have the Epic 4G, and when I get $500 I'll get the Captivate Glide. I hope by then nothing hinky happens when I try to activate then unlock it.

The only effect it will have will be Apple's attempt to go after companies like Motorola & HTC. Pinch-to-Zoom is on every android device, I think and they will most likely use this victory to add fuel to their nuke android campaign.
There will be a lot of change to the android software and a lot of change android phone designs that are rectangular.
And last F*** Apple.

As bad as this could be for Samsung, look at it this way, they could come up with something more innovative than apple ever will. Maybe Samsung will be the first manufacturer to use mini-projectors in mobile devices and follow through with those plans. (And patent designs before release)

Well Samsung has been attacking apple for a while on purpose. Look at the adapter module for their chargers looks just like the iPhone Version. And the phone icon looks just like the iOS version. That's about it.No reason to sue its all about advancing technology. I think apple is just trying to get rid of competition. I love Samsung, I love iOS. But I think I'm loosing respect for apple as $1B is a slap in the face. Instead of tearing a company down by suing them. Apple could just make a phone 10X better and Then Samsung would do the same. It would be a continuous loop. That's competition. OH AND APPLE SAMSUUNG PHONES LOOK NOTHINHG LIKE YOUR SMALL 3.5" SCREEN DESIGN.

How much different can a phone icon look and still be recognized as a phone icon? Was apple the first company ever to make something rectangular with rounded edges? Were they the first to make a user interface with squares? How can they patent this stuff and sue over it? Its the most generic stuff. Ridiculous. And they sued their largest partner, who makes about 90% of the components in the iPhone/iPad. Apple seems to be done innovating. They take features from Android and then try to make them sound revolutionary. Then, they sue the companies actually innovating and make their products delayed or taken off shelves. The iPhone 1 was revolutionary and really made the smartphone market the way it is today (everyone has one, not just geeks or business people). But they haven't done anything since then. They've made the camera better, screen a bit better, and changed processor.

While it sucks they did lose, I do hope it doesn't result in a takedown of major phones. Samsung has been releasing some interesting stuff, and I really do want to hold out on getting a new one 'till they come out with a new slider. I can't imagine what I'd choose if Samsung's development was hindered because of this stupid ordeal.

Each different region gets specific models, while majority get the flagship models. In the states you can't come across a galaxy w, but over seas you can. The same goes for different galaxy phones.
Samsung is out for money, in my eyes with all these phones. The galaxy line is fine, maybe a few other phones(entry, mid an high end). Just not so many that people get confused on what the flagship device is.

They do offer loads of choices, not going to lie. Unless your a tech guy(me an xda users), you won't know which to get. I just wish they learn from htc, with their one series. The X being the best, S being a competitive mid to high range an the V being a nice entry level.
What I'm suggestion is, the S3 be like the the (one)X. Top of the line etc. Then have a second line for S an third for V.
You get what I mean?

I get that, but the galaxy name was bastardized more than a year ago tho.
They could do more to classify them though. I am with ya.
Their offerings structure in my opinion is strictly price bracket based. Someting in each range certain people can afford.
Of all things...very similar to shoes. I am cheap and it was a long time before I realized that $100 pair of aisics really are more comfortable and last longer than that $30pair. In either case though they were getting my money by offering something in every price point
Another issue is the pace at which technology is advancing. This doesnt apply here...but think ..yearly flagships...wow! Or the Galaxy note...the 2 may very likely release in only a few weeks, only 9 months after the original.

On GSMarena you can.

I have almost made up my mind to get the iPhone 5, however just remains one last obstacle to overcome, my wife, as an iPhone user herself she thinks that its too small for me and that the original Note which I had fitted me better! ! .
Anyway we shall see once both are released.
Here is a side by side size comparison:
http://versusio.com/en/apple-iphone-5-64gb-vs-samsung-galaxy-note-2

I stopped reading that link you posted because it looks like a 13 year old made this comparing page:
Has a built-in HDR mode Yes vs No It can automatically shoot pictures with an higher dynamic range (HDR)
ummm who cares? get an app on the note 2??? the list goes on like this, it should be renamed to stupid reasons for someone to buy the iphone 5.
I mean, scroll down more and you see manual ios lol....

why is everyone comparing to the iPhone still? while they may sell the most due to people either being invested in ios or for cult like reasons, i really don't see them as the standard anymore. comparison is great for specs but i'm just tired of everyone regarding the iPhone as the standard. Iphone 5 is already getting very ****ty compliments from experts.
We will see iphone 5 will be major flop. that time apple will know peoples are not fools now that time has gone when peoples became idiots from the name of apple.
And I am wondering where is those 200 changes are in ios 6

You've got to be kidding..major flop? The IPhone 5 will sell 25% more units than any release of any smartphones in history.....between now and Dec30 the IPhone will sell more than every Samsung phone COMBINED.

I hope your not being serious because if you are, you probably have no idea what the scope of any manufacturer sales numbers actually are. The ip5 will sell a lot, but you are extremely exaggerating, which makes you seem a little moronic.

I don't understand why are you people even argue about whether iPhone5 will sell more or less. It's not like Apple will just shortly release the number. (not unless it benefit Apple) And quite frankly, I think it's kinda stupid comparing iPhone 5 to Note 2. Clearly iPhone 5 was aiming to go after GS3. Seem like Apple is a bit running behind S3. Also, the comparison doesn't even mention the use of Stylus on the Note 2, which one another main feature other than large screen.

To argue with that, iPhone 5 aims to be better than 4S. As far as I can see, only Samsung puts up ads comparing its phones to apple's.(I stand corrected if you show me an apple ad that directly makes fun of Samsung). iPhone 5 shouldn't be compared even to the SGS3, I think it's time iphone and android are considered different products for different people(sgs3 is significantly larger than any iPhone, some people might not like that). Others like me are quite deep in the whole iOS ecosystem. I have a lot of apps I use daily for both OS's but my time on iOS might make me miss some stuff. The thing keeping me motivated for Note 2 right now is the memory of how awesome videos were on the GNex, I can only imagine a proper screen the size of my palm playing a video.

No, Apple just sues and takes money directly from Samsung instead of letting their device sales speak for the quality, haha. Although, I think during the iPhone keynote they did take a few jabs at android devices. I agree with you, though. I really don't see the two devices in the same class. Me and my girlfriend are both due for upgrades. I'm getting the note 2 and shes getting the iPhone 5. We both use our devices very differently and I'm sure we will both be happy with our new phones.

you must not know that the GSIII outsold the iPhone 4s .. i'm pretty sure it'll outsell the 5, and the Note might too since its on all major carriers like the GSIII. i'm not an Android fanboy, but the iPhone 5 is a lot of hype. they took features we've had for a while now and called it revolutionary. e.g.: panorama shot .. i can do that on my 2 year old Desire Z / G2.

That's obviously fake, since we all know Jedi don't use shield.

Fixed.

First of all a few of you sound like children. For Android fans who consider themselves "enlightened ones" it's quite comical that you constantly have to take shots at Apple whenever possible. You're posting at an Android haven yet you've just got to take shots just because. Why can't people just grow up and not post like assholes whenever it becomes necessary to make comparisons? Also are you all really arguing about sales? Do you own stock in Apple? Samsung? Are you a part of either of their marketing, engineering dept., or another division of their company where sales will reflect on how well you did your job? No? Then how the hell do sales figures of a single device make a difference in your lives?
Say what you will about Apple, but at least they can pull off a unified launch. The 16, 32, and 64 GB versions will all be out on release. I have no idea how long I'm going to have to twiddle my thumbs to wait for the 64GB note.
