http://www.androidcentral.com/sprin...ils-leaked-expect-evo-3d-evo-view-4g-and-xoom
Well, looks like we got some leaked specs of the Evo 3D, sounds good to me so far.
•4.3-inch 3D qHD capacitive 960 x 540 px display
•1730 mAh battery
•4GB internal memory with 8 GB SD card, expandable to 32 GB
•1 GB RAM
•1.2 GHz dual-core Snapdragon CPU
•Android 2.3
•Dual 5 MP rear cameras (3D)
•1.3 MP Front camera
•records 2D @ 1080p, 3D @ 720p
•Dimensions = 5.0 x 2.6 x .48 inches

If that's all accurate, barring any serious drawbacks, that's enough for me to drop my epic for it even without a 2yr discount (outright)

Might make me jump ship when this is released!

Ya, I'd sell this phone for $200 and possibly my Evo for a phone with those specs. Plus you wouldn't have to put up with the drama here, so consider me SOLD.

I am waiting until Sprint decides on its future 4G plans.

Those specs are sexy but ill wait a few before i get it
to see whats going on with the Epic and also the pros/cons of it from other xda users experiences

This paired with project leapfrog makes Sprint #1 by far. Verizon no longer has anything on them. EVO 3D will win phone of the year, even of the iPhone 5 when it comes out in August.

I'm excited i wanna see what the new qHD displays look like

HOLY ****! 3D Pictures? That's awesome!
I'm already jealous lol

Hmmm... sounds kinda cool, but I'm honestly pretty happy with my Epic. Don't get me wrong. It sounds like a sweet device, but it's just not nice enough for me to justify switching.

Even If sprint decides to switch to LTE, it'd come sometime in 2013. You're good to upgrade atleast once until then.

Very true!
I will consider an upgrade (Premier Gold) provided a new phone meets my prerequisites of:
- physical keyboard
- 4" screen or bigger
- better camera (most important factor)

Somehow I missed that it will be dual core, not just 1.2 Ghz. I'm a bit more interested now lol. Although, that display would have to be pretty awesome... Unlike the previous Evo variations. Yuck!

That's probably why it has a 1750mAh battery. To help offset the extra drainage.

You guys realise that our epic should be just as good over clock it to 1.3ghz and the powerVR gpu in our epics I believe are still better that the snapdragon ones. Plus that higher resolution on the qHD displays don't get as good framerates cause it taxes the cpu and **** harder didn't you see the thread that compared the atrix and other phones. I will keep my epic for now. I like my keyboard even tough it skips letters haha.

Wouldn't dual-core save battery because its sharing the processing instead of demanding it all from one core?

I can't wait to see how poorly the Snapdragon garbage GPU performs. Anyone wanna bet me that it barely beats our GPU?

HTC Pyramid is the same exact phone (Yea, I know. Shocking news that HTC makes 45 exact same phones and just names them differently). Same processor, same resolution, with SLIGHTLY lower ram. LOL. GPU is utterly destroyed by the Galaxy S. Snapdragons are so crappy.

3D is just a gimmick. You have to have something that can display the images, and you have to wear those glasses. Its cool in theatre on the big screen, but on that little phone me thinks not.
I'll be keeping my Epic for quite awhile, planning on skipping the next gen just because I don't see it being much of a leap. When something comes out that my phone can't do then maybe I'll worry about it at that point.

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.

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.

I've heard also that it has been rumored the possibility for it to include 1.5 GHz dual-core Snapdragon S3 instead of the 1.2 GHz Exynos.
4.5" it's the same as the Infuse 4G... kinda biggie... it's incredible how much difference there's in between (actual) 4.3" and a 4.5", seems really a lot more than just .2"!

Or they may alternate kb version to touch version. Either way I hope the next high end slider is due.

I've a feeling that the original "epic ii", which we'd all heard about, was scrapped due to the wimax. Iffin this was the case... with lte around the corner, don't be surprised if they delayed and remade the radio lte. Afterall, it was announced no more wimax phones.
Which leads to my question. Who here would upgrade there phone if its just the camera upgrade, a small processor upgrade(not even dual core), an nfc chip, and now lte capable?
Id honestly consider it.

Needs to be dual core and have some form of 4g, preferably Lte, single core is from a consumer standpoint "out of date" any single core phone is way less likely to get updates as well.

That's not worthy of wasting an upgrade. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one here who's in a wimax blanket. Thered be absolutely no reason to go from an epic to epic 2 if those are the specs. Maybe coming from the evo or evo SHIFT then yeah but in order for something to make this phone feel like a PoS needing an upgrade, the specs would have to be AT THE VERY LEAST different hardware, not the same **** just more polished.

Seriously? Headphone jack STILL on the top left? Do any of these designers ever play games or watch movies with headphones on in landscape? Probably the most annoying thing about my Epic is the headphone jack placement.

I don't really care for it.

It caters to me specifically and IMO I would purchase this device if it (the one in the pics) were to work with Sprint. Hopefully Sprint doesn't mess with it too much. I'm a fan

Personally, I actually like it a lot. While it's not mind-blowing, the TW UX isn't too bad, and it offers a few really cool gimmicks. I know for a fact it'll have a much bigger development team for rooting and ROMs as well, so I'm most likely going to get this over the Evo 4G LTE.

Hopefully this is the last GS3 thread. I will either lock down or merge new ones.

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.
