Use the front-facing camera much?
So I'm in the USA, and I see a Galaxy S-like device called the captivate coming to AT&T...
I see the AT&T version has no flash and no front-facing camera. Does anyone use the front-facing camera much? If so, what for? Self pics/mirror or actual video conversations?
Any other differences between the Galaxy S (as on Samsung's web-site) and the Captivate?
Thanks,
Manos

Depends on your situation whether you'll be using the front-facing camera for video chats or whatnot. I personally wouldn't use the front camera for much since not many people I know have front facing cameras, too and I don't really care for it.
The only difference we can see so far is a different phone design, missing front camera, and apparently the AT&T version gets a gyroscope/six-axis motion sensor aimed at gaming. The AT&T version is also a 16gb base handset but you can add a microSD card for a maximum of 32gb.
Overall, I'm looking forward to the AT&T version although I'm bummed they scrapped the front-facing camera because of principle (Competition is too close for iPhone).

What power widget is that in the center?

ooh..no led notifications??
i was expecting the little strip above the word samsung to have leds??

Actually the phone has 384000 tiny LEDs. Do you want more?
Now seriously: Since AMOLEDs only consume energy when used, it would be great if the screen (in standby) could show some small visual notification. Are you listening Samsung?

Thanks in advance.

[pics] SGS3 Specs Revealed from Samsung mole.

Someone on reddit has a friend who works in a 'high level' position at Samsung and snapped a shot of the new SGS III.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here's the thread:
Here's the spec's his friend has confirmed so far...
* A 4.7 inch screen that nearly takes up the whole phone, but some bezel space was needed for the camera, , speakers, mic, and so cases would fit on it. He said it WILL be HD and have a ceramic "micro arc oxidation" back.
* Quad core exynos (spelling?) 4412.
* The screen is Super Amoled Plus with HD.
* The camera is a 12 megapixel with flash.
* 2 gigs of ram.
*8 millimeters thick, and no bump this time around, just "smooth".
*2250 milla-amp/hour battery, but no wireless charging.
The thread is new so he will be updating it as he gets more info from his friend.
As always, it's best to be skeptical of new information, but, if this info is true all I have to say is HOLY FUARK!

Looks like an s2 with a sticker on the bottom.

Sigh.... There really wasn't any need to start another crappy rumour thread on something which has already been mentioned in the other SGS3 thread.

#justsayin

My best guess would be specs similar to the HTC ONE X.
1.5ghz quad core (samsung may clock it slightly higher)
1gb ram, i dont see why it would go to 1.5gb or 2gb as this seems like overkill to me & not needed, ive never been close to using 1gb on my SGS2.
4.7-4.8 inch 720p screen
Overclocked Mali gpu, which would be disappointing as alot of us do that anyway.
8mp, 2mp - can't see that changing, i see no reason too
7mm thick.
Even lighter than SGS2
Ceramic back.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

Isn't the back button on the wrong side too?

aosp if they do it this cant go wrong

"...it will possibly have two optional launchers, ICS with touchwiz overlay and vanilla ICS"
From the reddit thread.

All I care about is more MP in the camera....do this & I'm sold
If I helped you, please press the Thanks button

I hope it has no touchwiz. I hate touchwiz.

If it has moar gigapixels it must be better!

I hope the screen has better quality.

Better quality than what ?

the specs are AWESOME !!!

I hope it looks like the one on OP with no physical home key. If it has a physical home key, I'm going to buy an HTC. It's 2012, you're making a touchscreen device, enough with physical keys.

u can get hold of sgs3 and take a dead pic ? looks fake to me

So you are going from a phone with 2 capacitive buttons and 1 physical button to a phone with 3 capacitive buttons...

Looks like new galaxy s duos but with sgs3 screen and gingerbread

Lol @ dual-sim, 512mb ram and a crappy 1ghz processor. Seems most chinese rip-off phones have those specs.

TAKE MY MONEY!
I love the description on the website :
"The GT-i9300 cellphone adopts Android 2.3 OS, and is powered by MTK6575 1.0GHz CPU and 512MB RAM to ensure its running more stably and smoothly.*"

Suprising they're spitting out phones with those specs as of today. I mean, we're almost in Q4 of 2012.

No, no, no... You want the HDC I9300 Pro... It has the MTK6577 processor that goes to 2.0Ghz and has 1 Gb or ram... Its also dual sim (if you want it to be) with a normal sized sim &/or a micro sized sim. Or 2 normal sized sim if you want. White or Frost Blue. And only $210US... What a bargain....
Might be nice for a novelty, if you have a spare couple hundred floating around but I have other things to spend my money on...

Apple should sue!
OH, wait.

This, also with a 8MP camera it's quite the bargain...
I bet a large percentage of S3 users would not notice a difference
It's like the S2 but with the S3 design

I guarantee you it's more like .8MP. I've seen China phones that were 12MP but in reality were 1.2 at best.
And if you've ever used a decent smart phone, let alone an S3 you would definately notice the difference. The knock-offs are horrible to use.

It can be an 8MP sensor but if the processing sucks it'll look like a 0.8MP shot.

8GB! I hope this is only for the prototype. If Google launch with an 8GB option with no expandable storage it will be way too small. They can shove the cloud up their ass.
I know there will be a 16GB model too, but they really need a 32GB option as well. Cloud storage is still in its infancy, and not everyone has access to LTE yet.

Serious Camera Improvements with 1.29 OTA!

Just read this article about the 1.29 OTA which is currently rolled out (sorry, it's in german): http://www.androidpit.de/htc-one-update-fotos
(you see before and after pictures, with after on the right)
I knew that HTC did something to the camera software, but I didn't expect the results to be THAT different, looks awesome! Like the author says, it looks like "the gray veil has been lifted"!

HTC One updated with camera enhancement suite and more in Europe
• Improvement to sound capture with Zoe
• Noise reduction in slow motion movie capture
• Improved color reproduction and dynamic range (reduced over-exposure in non-HDR images) in certain conditions
• Fix to display correct ISO in EXIF information when ISO settings are manually changed by the user
• Improved system performance and stability

Again, the update will bring your device to version 1.29.401.13 and this is the international HTC One only.

So the ones with the Developers Edition are out of luck?

I got 1.29.111.11, anyone know what the difference is or where info can be found?

The custom roms ha ve been on this version for a few days now. I can confirm there are definitely light and day improvements, I can't compare with the old version but it's definitely noticeable once you move from stock to custom roms with 1.29xxx.12

As for the samples in the thread I think the pics on the left are better although it looks like a simple contrast alteration to me.

Did anyone notice better sound coming from the speakers with Beats enabled?
I don't have the phone yet, but I know that some people are complaining about hissing. Did 1.29 correct that?
