The picture above makes it quite obvious with the “Galaxy S II” logo printed on the back. While this is expected to be a rather minor upgrade, with no major changes, a few improvements are expected, such as a seemingly larger 4.5-inch display, as opposed to the current Galaxy S II’s 4.3-inch one, and support for T-Mobile’s faster HSPA+ 42Mbps connection.
Much like the original Galaxy S II, this slightly revised model is expected to include the hardware and features that made the previous one successful, namely its dual-core 1.2 GHz SoC processor, 1 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal storage, an 8-megapixel camera and the ability to output fully uncompressed 1080p high-definition video through its built-in HDMI port. There are no apparent changes software-wise: much like the original release, the revised Galaxy S II is expected to include the latest version of Android, 2.3 Gingerbread, along with Samsung’s custom TouchWiz interface, which is aimed at streamlining Android’s standard user experience. The phone’s back now sports a brushed metal look as well, contrasting with previous Galaxy S II models.
Although the handset is not yet available through a carrier in the US, its release is projected to take place sometime this month. In addition to T-Mobile, this variant of the Galaxy S II is expected to also be available North of the border through the Canadian carrier Telus.

I dont see any upgrades i see tmobile cutting cost and going with crap CPU/GPU and having bigger screen ...I want a galaxy s 2 not some hybrid that will cause more delays on updates and problems when looking for compatible games

Lol, then my bad. I thought you meant Hercules not International. But the merger might be finished when the Galaxy S III comes out lol.
It looks nice
So what? I don't care, we're talking about SGS2
Looks like a bigger, slimmer nexus s. In my opinion not bad looking, we have to just see if the specs remain the same as original sgs2 or not. Also not sure how comfortable it will be holding a 4.5 inch screen for one hand typing.

Interesting.... Im using the international sgs2 on tmobile usa right now and the edge speeds are a bit of a buzzkill. Im waiting for the hercules to drop because the tmobile 4g speeds when i had the g2x were insane 9mb down at night 7mb down average. On the other hand if this doesnt have the exynos chip i think ill pass and hold out for the nexus prime.

Yes, but Samsung's Galaxy S series of phones have always had the latest and greatest features available at the time of their release. This shouldn't be any different.
Those features are going to become standard on high-end phones by mid-2012
Edit: Only thing I disagree with is the 2GHz. That's just not practical.
Transformer prime runs at 1.3-1.4?GHz on Tegra3 and gets ~8 hours of battery life. That's with a tablet-sized battery. GS3 probably will ship with 1.2GHz or something, and it'll be up to XDA devs to push it to its' potential.
I have a hard time getting excited about new Samsung phones, because it seems like they always take forever to get released in the US.
I'm guessing an unannounced SGS3 probably won't be available on US carriers for until Christmas time. By then it's no longer exciting.

That has like nothing on the sides to protect the screen. I'm not hating... I'm actually looking forward to the next in the GS line but I really hope that's just an early prototype.
should I use my upgrade for a GS2 or wait for the GS3?
waiting for the S3 is the better choice i think .Other information say that the Samsung Galaxy S3 is with Quadcore-CPU, ICS, HD-Display and 12-MP-Camera
in February should Samsung release it or give us new information
It Rumors thet the S3 should be showing on the MWC 2012
The Quadcore-Prozessor of Galaxy S3 should be clocking at 1,5 or 1,6 GHz . The Special is the improvment in 3D. The Display should be an Super-AMOLED-HD-Display with 1.280 x 1.024and 326 ppi .
I hope its all true

the LTE part is great even though we probably wont have a fully rolled out LTE network till 2014 but the Quad core would definitely help with the over all smoothness of the OS and insure an upgrade to the Jelly Bean or what ever the next OS will be.
I want the note, but if not, Im 50/50 between the E1 and the SG3. Probably will have to see them both in person to make a decision. Baby mama is switching to sprint and wants my ET4G, time for an upgrade for Phatmanxxl!
Doesn't the battery seem a bit too small? I'm sure they have a larger one. Either way, can't wait until we find out all the exact details, exciting lol.

Which means by the time we get it on sprint gs4 will roll around.
I guess the reason we get phones after the other carriers is $$$ related.
Sprint probably pays less per unit after the phone has been out for a bit.

What are you talking about Sprint was the first to come out with a GSII and then T-mobile and AT&T come out with there's a week or 2 later at the time only the International edition was available
All the hyped units like the nexus or the note come later. Sprints cash is going toward network vision first. Phone models second. Verixon & ATT have cash to throw around sprint doesn't.
I'll venture as far to say the new nexus will be announced shortly after we get sgs3.

Yea but Sprint still hasn't rolled out LTE the main reason we don't have the Nexus and the Note was first released internationally then AT&T picked it up from Samsung and were still not sure if Sprint is getting the Note and if so im sure it will get LTE maybe that's why they are taking their time
the nexus devices coincide with the release of a new version of android. we won't see another nexus for at least another 6-12 months. i mean phones are JUST getting ICS.
Still gonna take them 6 months after the gsm version to get this on sprint.
Maybe Christmas 2012?
so leave sprint! i'm considering getting the intl sgs3, hopping on at&t and calling it a day. i'd really like some decent 3G. i don't make many calls so i'm not that worried about calls dropping or worse quality.

Hopefully it'll have the Exynos 5 Dual-Core processor (considering there's no chance of us getting the Exynos 4 Quad-Core processor).
If it's Snapdragon S4, then I'll have just have to compare the Evo 4G LTE and the Sprint's variant of the new GS3. Both of them having features I really like. The GS3 has a bunch of interesting gimmicks & accessories, removable battery, expandable storage, and a familiar way to root the device and install awesome ROMS on it. The Evo 4G LTE, on the other hand, has a better display, more Android-like, and overall a better UI (For the most part. I like the new GS3's lockscreen lol), and much cooler hardware design with a kickass kickstand (although, I like how the rounded edges of the GS3 resembles the Galaxy Nexus and even the Epic 4G. Wish the Evo 4G LTE was more like that)
Battery life could be a deal breaker for me too, considering the Evo 4G LTE has a 2000 mAh battery and the GS3 has a 2100 mAh battery. We'll see if there's any real difference.

Yes we will be getting dual cores. But the qualcomm S4 is like ridiculously fast. And compared to the quad phones it really shows no substantial difference besides RAW power. Graphics, are identical, their was a review on the verge that shows they are very similar in the One S and One X.

The S4 is damn good and better on battery than the Exynos in all likelihood. The 2GB of RAM is a bigger upgrade than 2 more cores would be IMO.

If you want to abstract by one more level: Krait will be faster regardless of application, regardless of usage model. You're looking at a generational gap in architecture here, not simply a clock bump.

Occasionally we'll see performance numbers that just make us laugh at their absurdity. Krait's Linpack performance is no exception. The performance advantage here is insane. The MSM8960 is able to deliver more than twice the performance of any currently shipping SoC. The gains are likely due in no small part to improvements in Krait's cache/memory controller. Krait can also issue multi-issue FP instructions, A9 class architectures can apparenty only dual-issue integer instructions.

agreed, don't let the "moar corez is bettar" bug bite you.......anyone remember Pentium 4 cpu's clock for clock when AMD released their couterparts? I do. Architecture is where it's at. How much gets done per clock matters far more than how many "ticks" you can go through.
Hmm, for every day tasks (multitasking between apps, browsing web, checking XDA, and the occasional angry birds) I don't see why the dual core with a whopping 2 gigs of ram (bump from the 1 gig the int. phones have) is any thing to complain about. Not like I'm doing complex and processor taxing things on the phone. I'm hoping for great things from this phone and am planning on picking one up day one. Quad core / dual core .... It's just a phone. I'll go to my desktop if I really need to... Lol

Finally us cellular gets in the game! Good to see, I will definitely be getting this phone seeing that I use it as a media player and it has the wolfson chip that supercurio can develop on. S2 disappoints me. Processor won't matter so much to me as I'm not depending on it to do any of my heavy lifting like my pc, so long as its dual core I'll be happy. More ram is definitely a plus. Needless to say I will be seeing many of you in those forums soon enough, doubt it will be launch day though.

A direct GNex vs S3 comparision. This is using the quad core but should be at least close.

You don't need it to end. Usually after about 20 months you can upgrade

READY.

Preordered my blue 16gb SGS3. I was just wondering why people would choose to get the 32gb one over the 16gb when there is an external microSD slot?

I understand that, but you can just stick your microSD that you used on Fascinate which costs nothing... I don't know I just hope the less storage space doesn't hinder any development path.

I have 2 GS3, i think to replace one for a Note2
Or maybe both xD
Both great, comes down to wether people want 4.8 inch or 5.5 inch. Either way it's a win.

note 2 because of the extra gig ram,everything else is equal (0k screen's bigger). By the time Note 2 is available we'll have JB on SG3. Hopefully.

It's gonna be an exciting Fall. New nexus(es) and other super phones will be introduced as well.

I don't think so note 2 is good upgrade
For galaxy s3 users

I think the Note is a different category device. They are both on the same level (the Note has minor improvements) but its all about form factor.

I really like the note 2. I have the first note and I love it. But the one thing the note has over the s3 is the extra ram. I find it annoying when android automatically closes down apps when I'm trying to multitask.
I don't know which to get now. I'm so confused! My partner is getting the s3 tomorrow from Amazon. I'm going to steal it and play with it hehe.

My preference goes to the S3 as well. Note is just to big for me, S3 is already pushing the limit.
I love the Note, it's the perfect size for me, I love phones with huge screens I just wish it was more rounded for a more comfortable feel when holding it.

The only thing i don't like is that it's too big and the ppi drops dramatically...
But i do love the quad+2gb ram...
Anyway..i still prefer the s3...
I think the S3's the limit of what a useable phone can be because the Note's more of a 2 handed job and if like me you always blindly walking around looking down at phone crashing into everything the Note wouldn't last a day in my hands.
I'm gonna sell my "new" iPad and get the note 2, made up my mind!

If you love the Note there is no question you should get the Note 2 rather than the S3. None whatsoever.
I have two S3s, one white international one and one red AT&T one, and as one of the staunchest protagonists for the original Note I will definitely be getting the Note 2 (I wrote the best review on the internet for the original Note - here: http://www.androidnz.net/2011/12/samsung-galaxy-note-complete-review.html - a 16k word love story).
The 2GB of RAM in the US S3 makes a really big difference in terms of never, ever having launcher re-draws or RAM shortage problems. The Note 2 is basically an S3 with it's largest deficiency fixed and a mahoosive screen and battery. If you like mahoosive screens and can handle the size you shouldn't even look sideways at anything else.
If im correct..
The Note 2 has 2GB of ram, Quad-Core Exynos processor, and it has HSPA+ & LTE radio bands built in..
If so.. i wouldn't mind buying the international version if it works on AT&T LTE Network.. hell 5.5inch is big but.. thats why we have bluetooths
I'd get an S3 because basically, it's a bigger screen with the same resolution, and a waaay lower ppi.. I won't really favor 0.8~ on 70~ ppi difference.
The only benefit i can see is the 2GB of RAM.. well we currently don't need it, but meh we will in two / three years, and i change phones every two years so not a problem to me.
Note to people moaning about redraws: they're software related, and they're fixed, you can open 25~ apps actively now on the international version, i don't see myself using more .. unless you love numbers on paper.
Both phones have the SAME CPU/GPU, slightly overclocked (which i can do here, tada!)
In the other hand the camera pixel count is the same, and that's good, people think that getting more megapixels means pictures are better, wrong.
You'll get more noise and blurriness and all kinds of **** now, unless they put in larger sensors.
And for gods sake, it's jellybean not beam.
So to sum it up, not going to get a note 2 for now, maybe when the note 3 / galaxy s4 comes out next year.
the new gallery app looks good in note 2, hope samsung delivers the same gallery for us along with jb! but im afraid we havent seen any glimpse of the new gallery in any leaks yet
It is much more balance fill with a 2gb in a quad core device.but,I think when s4 pro in the market. It certainly beat exynos in pieces
S3 and note 2 is losing leader board too way faster then it's brother!
But, I love note 2 more!
