Ah, the*Galaxy S III. We always knew it'd be a keystone among Android smartphones, but according to the AnTuTu benchmark suite, it'll be the one device to rule them all. While there's no way to verify whether this test is indeed legitimate, all Android users may currently peep the AnTuTu app, which not only shows the smartphone as having bested the mighty*Transformer Prime*tablet, but it also reveals the most comprehensive set of specs we've yet seen for the Galaxy S III -- again, take this with a grain of salt. The device is said to wield a Samsung*Exynos 4212 SoC*with a dual-core 1.4GHz CPU, 1GB of RAM and a 4.7-inch, 720p HD display. This lines up similarly with the*product listing*from Amazon Germany, as the specs also reveal a 12 megapixel primary camera on the rear, along with a 2MP shooter on the front. No big surprises for the OS, which is listed as Android 4.0. Should the benchmark tests turn out to be legitimate, the*HTC One X*will no doubt have some very stiff competition.

I need the galaxy s3 to look better than the one x or galaxy nexus. And that goes for the screen as well have you guys seen the one x display.

I haven't seen the screen, but they say it's way better than our amoled. Regardless, I will get the gs3 even if it had no screen. I want the best/fastest/most powerful Android device

with that many pixels one picture and your phone storage will blow up, 1200megapixel
Won't the nexus that comes around xmas time for the past 3 years running have similar if not better specs and sport the pure Android first in line upgrade experience for users? I'm not getting all the fuss over the s3 when nexus will be right behind by a few months. Last nexus was delayed because of lte. So we got it 5 months late.

I find Antutu to be the only benchmark I trust.

Same logic would suggests that the Galaxy S4 would just be a few months behind that nexus then. Galaxy phones have been coming out around mid year where nexus phones have been coming out end of the year, and then tack on a few months more for carrier delays. The Galaxy phones have all been about specs and design. Sides, with enough developers working on it to push out AOSP roms, "pure google" isn't that hard to obtain.

Right, and carrier delays also force the nexus to come many months after that new Android update as well lol. Unless you're going to switch away from Sprint and going with a GSM carrier, Sprint's Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus both came 5-6 months after their international brothers.
Personally I don't understand why everyone loves the nexus so much...It has the exact same specs as the S2 but NFC capable and worse camera. I don't get it. OMG it has onscreen buttons, i could care less...a nice camera means about 1000x more to me. Pure ICS, pretty sure I already have that via flashing roms. I don't know if Nexus has AOKP but "pure ICS < AOKP

I agree, but I hope the next nexus will be competitive on both specs and design since the S3 is kind of a disappointment already.

just speculation but a little bigger screen, 12 mp camera and quad core processor. That alone makes me a little hard. Take my money please.

It's the CPU/GPU that are pissing people off, and I completely understand because I am too. The Galaxy s phones are supposed to be powerhouses. The previous two were faaaar ahead of their time. This phone uses some A9 chip with the old Mali400, which has been long outdated. All they did was overclock it. That GPU can't render triangles if its life depended on it.
What about audio chip. I have an Sgs ii and dont use it because it cannot record videos under loud conditions such as concerts. All you get is noise.

Really -- I mean from information we have now, which one will you take Tegra3 GPU or Mali400 clocked at 440Mhz? or Adreno 225?
Everyone knows about low memory bandwidth issues with Tegra, and Adreno isn't that a powerhouse in GPU. Samsung has always stated multiple times this year that their aim is battery life and efficiency.
http://androidandme.com/2012/01/news/samsung-promises-full-day-of-battery-life-for-2012-smartphones/
Quoted from here
Recently power consumption for mobile devices have increased a lot and mobile devices have limited cooling capability....Samsung optimized its 45 nm processor for performance first and later found it could not get its full performance without exceeding power consumption limits. The 32 nm chip was optimized first for power consumption

That's an interesting comparison between the 4 GPU's, most benchmarks I've seen lean towards the Adreno 225 or the PVR MP2 used in the iPhone. How much more power would really be used by a Mali T6 card over the Mali 400 :/

They are seriously going to associate the "S3" name with this crap?
Can samsung really not make a small phone as good as iphone? Is this the downfall of the galaxy S brand image? No doubt the average person will compare this with the iphone 5 and it wont look good.
Epic fail, we want exynos.

The worst part of it all is that its called the "S3 mini".
"We'll be launching a 4-inch Galaxy S III on the 11th in Germany, there's a lot of demand for a 4-inch screen device in Europe. Some call it an entry-level device, but we call it 'mini.'"
Some call it iphone and you samsung clearly dont know what you are doing here. It's not like they dont already have 4" entry level phones.
They just want to trick customers into thinking this is a galaxy S3 in a smaller body. Epic fail samsung!!!!!!!

I suspect to the average Joe it is, quad core doesn't make it text any quicker or reduce the number of dropped calls and as for the camera you obviously can't squeeze the 8mp in such a small body.
Seems to me Samsung can't win elsewhere they're being lambasted for releasing the i9305 and devaluing the i9300 by relegating it to second fiddle and here for the mini not shoe Horning the S3 hardware into a smaller, more desirable?, chassis with a better screen.

Facepalm indeed. If these specs are true, the s3 mini would be lousier than the s2 and the galaxy s advanced. I would expect the mini to at least be as good as the s2

What are you talking about? The WVGA screen is not going to be anyway near as good. The iphone 5 has an 8MP camera, the 4S had as well and they are both very small phones.
The novathor chipset is not going to provide the smooth performance that people associate with the S3.
Why would a smaller body be more desirable? Many people like the big screen of S3 those who dont shouldnt have bought it. Yes the i9305 is actually a ***** move because it is everything the S3 is and more, a smaller S3 cant be that.
And you know even a galaxy S2 is fine for texting and calling so what is the point of this phone? Galaxy S2 is also pretty reasonably sized.
A 4" screen of 300PPI, a slightly under clocked quad core CPU and 8MP camera is what is needed from an S3 mini to compete with the iphone 5. Seems like apple excels at engineering more than anybody else when it comes to making a high end small device.
Cash grab yes but in this case it is perfectly reasonable because of two factors.
1. They have to make up the 1 billion dollars that Apple robbed them of somehow. Why not try and rob it from isheep that are holding back on the GS3 because of the size, they won't know any better.
2. Nobody knows if the GS4 and Note 2 will replicate the success of their predecessors, so they need to cash grab when they can. For example, I had the GS2 and GS3 but I won't be purchasing the GS4(unless I cave in) because I might be moving to Windows Phone just for a change of pace. The GS3 is the first phone in YEARS to make Apple release their iphone earlier than they wanted, it might not happen ever again. So instead of letting Apple gouge the consumers, I am perfectly okay with Samsung gouging for 2012. At least it is not Apple. Although the ipad mini might be a gouger.
Samsung made 7 billion dollars in the last quarter. They don't need to pull off something this stupid that can be damaging in the long term.
I am still hoping the device will either not be called S3 mini or will not have those sort of specs as leaked by the German site.

This wont hurt them. Nobody who bought the tab 2 7 or tab 2 10.1 knows that the tablet they bought licks ass even compared to the old 10.1. This one actually has a relatively new SOC at least. It should run decent with the lower res.
http://www.stericsson.com/products/u8500-novathor.jsp
Sony chipsets are fine. Although that article is sketchy because there is no U8420, U8500 is the lowest. That L9540 sounds like a beast though, it uses a power vr while the rest use the mali 400.

For some people the S3 is too big and imho this isn't aimed at S3 buyers anyhow, they're using the S3 as a halo device to attract people in, people who might buy into SJs belief that the iphone is the perfect size. And hard as it may be for you to believe, for some, the S3 in a smaller body with a better screen would be ideal.

Same reaction happened when the A1 Merc or Porsche Boxster was released. Purists where upset!
It's just a budget model, don't like it don't buy it. But it's about time they had one.
Wonder what Apple thinks of Sammy using there word mini? Bet jurors think it's an iPod mini clone. White, rectangle, smooth corners, uses the mini name
Swyped on I9300 - XXDLIB - Siyah kernel - JKay & Thunderbolt tweaks.
They're just abusing the name of S3 here, there's no point in this device. It was expected to be a direct competitor to the iPhone, but it isn't. There's no reason for anyone to buy this. Hardware is no good, price is high, it doesn't really compete with anything.

No it's not hard at all I myself was waiting for the S3 mini.
I personally find the S3 to be too big and guess what? I didnt buy it I am waiting for someone to make a smaller device as good as S3. However if I were to give in and buy the current S3 and then later a smaller version comes then I wont have any right to be pissed off. That would like ipad users getting pissed at the ipad mini.
So it really is official then.
Less pixels to push plus JB 4.1 should allow it to run pretty close to the GS3 with ICS. It will run fine, if you can live with the low resolution. lol
This post just made me look at my current galaxy s 3 and feel instantly sick.
A lte version released after the '' flagship'' device was released,
Now they release this "mini s3" I mean come on..
Build the mini with i9305 specs, ram and lte included but don't offend my eyes and call it an s3 mini...
Samsung seem desperate.. IMO

I would not upgrade, you can just wait until a 4.2 AOSP ROM for the GS3 comes out. In terms of Hardware, they are not that different: both have a quad core, a similar sized HD screen, and both are just insanely fast (I believe, at least

The Nexus 4 does in fact have GLONASS support, according to this comparison.
Also, LTE was abandoned because Google didn't want to partner with carriers (especially in the US) to launch Nexus devices, considering how badly Verizon handled Galaxy Nexus updates. Google's cooperation with At&t/Verizon would have reportedly made it more financially feasible to add LTE.
I am interested to hear reviews from those going from an S3 to a Nexus 4. I feel I would prefer the S3 over the Nexus 4, the Nexus 4 is just too cheap to pass up though. I currently have a Galaxy Nexus and love it. But I have spent some time with an S3 and would rather have that over my GN.
i just played with the n4 at my local store and let me say that n4 mops the floor with it..it is amazingly fast..having a ported 4.2 aosp build for the s3 is not the same as having the orginal 4.2..****, i have a hox and the n4 blows the hox out of the water..and the good thing is, google is going to release the n4 with 32gb..no source..just have been told by a google employee
Ah things get a little more interesting when the British, Aussie, European (and so on) Galaxy S3's are thrown into the mix.
Then it's Quad Core Exynos 4412 vs Quad Core Snapdragon S4 Pro
1GB vs 2GB RAM
The mobile networks around the world are quicker to provide updates than the American 'carriers'
BATTLE OF THE TITANS!!!
Yes, especially if you have the international version which has less than stellar custom ROM support.
My Galaxy S3 is the phone that single-handedly convinced me only buy Nexus phones from now on.
So what are your thoughts, those who have went from the S3 to the Nexus 4? I am curious.

Awwww. That's messed up how they didn't release a 32GB version from the start. I'm fine with 16GB, but nothing wrong with having more storage.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
As someone who has switched to the Nexus 4 from the AT&T S3, these are my thoughts.
Cons:
- No removable storage.
- No LTE (not that big of a deal imo)
- No Removable Battery (never removed my battery, so don't care)
- Nexus 4 is made of glass, and slides off almost everything.
- Screen is less sensitive (I've frequently had to tap multiple time for it to be registered)
- Better battery life on the S3 (but I haven't had my N4 for very long)
- No hardware home button on the front (this is a nice convenience imo.)
- Better Camera on the S3
- Louder speakers on the S3 (N4 is barely audible in the shower)
Pros
- N4 feels so much better than the S3. Swiping feels superb, holding the phone feels great, and the N4 looks much better than S3.
- AOSP Out of the Box (I didn't think this would be a big deal, but I've been using the phone unrooted and wow, its like everything just works how I want it to.)
- Direct updates from Google (no more waiting on custom roms and leaks)
- Better Screen (everything looks a lot more realistic and better imo)
- Faster (everything is so smooth on the N4 and I haven't seen any lag or stutter yet as I did [rarely] on the S3. This creates a better experience.)
My experience with the Nexus 4 is that it just feels better to use than the S3. Its something you have to try for yourself I guess.

hello00 thought that a new nexus 4 was going to be released by google, but... five months ago!!
Samsung announced the 8-core Exynos 5 Octa processor during CES and given that, it only seems logical that the company will include that processor in at least some of their 2013 devices. Notably, the higher-end devices such as the Galaxy Note, which presumably will be released as the Galaxy Note III later in the year. Samsung has yet to confirm the details (or the existence) of the Note III, however some reports have begun to surface with talk of specs.

}
In short, is it believed that the Note III will feature the Exynos 5 Octa processor. That and, also grow in size going from the 5.5-inch display that the Note II features up to a 6.3-inch display. And while 6.3-inches may seem on the larger side, remember that many made fun of the jump from the original Galaxy Note at 5.1-inches to the Note II — and we see how that went. Not to mention, Huawei recently announced a 6.1-inch handset, the Ascend Mate.
Aside from display size and processor, that is where the specs have stopped for the Note III. The interesting part here, while the Note II already has stellar battery life, the battery life on the Note III could be even better. That comes due in part with the processor, which if you remember back to CES, was focused on efficiency. The Exynos 5 Octa will have a total of 8-cores broken down as four Cortex-A15 processors and four Cortex-A7 cores. This means the A15 cores will handle processing-intense tasks and the A7 cores handling the lighter workloads.
According to Samsung, this means up up to 70 percent higher energy efficiency as compared to the previous quad-core Exynos. Bottom line here, assuming things play out as they appear — it is looking like Samsung will be able to make a nice jump from the Note II to Note III with improvements to not only the processor and battery life, but also have it arrive with a much larger display. We just have to wonder, what is that point where smartphones and tablets will find middle ground.

Samsung announced the 8-core Exynos 5 Octa processor during CES and given that, it only seems logical that the company will include that processor in at least some of their 2013 devices. Notably, the higher-end devices such as the Galaxy Note, which presumably will be released as the Galaxy Note III later in the year. Samsung has yet to confirm the details (or the existence) of the Note III, however some reports have begun to surface with talk of specs.
In short, is it believed that the Note III will feature the Exynos 5 Octa processor. That and, also grow in size going from the 5.5-inch display that the Note II features up to a 6.3-inch display. And while 6.3-inches may seem on the larger side, remember that many made fun of the jump from the original Galaxy Note at 5.1-inches to the Note II — and we see how that went. Not to mention, Huawei recently announced a 6.1-inch handset, the Ascend Mate.
Aside from display size and processor, that is where the specs have stopped for the Note III. The interesting part here, while the Note II already has stellar battery life, the battery life on the Note III could be even better. That comes due in part with the processor, which if you remember back to CES, was focused on efficiency. The Exynos 5 Octa will have a total of 8-cores broken down as four Cortex-A15 processors and four Cortex-A7 cores. This means the A15 cores will handle processing-intense tasks and the A7 cores handling the lighter workloads.
According to Samsung, this means up up to 70 percent higher energy efficiency as compared to the previous quad-core Exynos.

Erm.. If Note III its gonna have it, so the S IV.. As traditionally Note its a larger version of S.. Samsung won't change that and by the way if you are going to copy paste some random article.. At least read it first and correct erros like saying that the Original Note its 5.1" when it is 5.3"

6.3 inches. So not for me. So my next device is most likely s4.
5.8 is my ideal size.

5" was/is perfect for me, if they go bigger I guess I'll have to skip, or just got for S IV.
Time will tell....
That said, I don't even have the Note I for a year, so I don't have to switch yet.

I appreciate the news greatly, if the octa-core thing ends up being true for Note III/S IV, I can't wait to see how it performs batterylife-wise. Might even retire my Note 1 and go for the third.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Definitely - 8 cores, better battery life, higher display resolution and assume slightly bigger screen with multi-functional cradles, finally reason to move on from Note I .
If the Note3 is going to be 6.3, then this will be my next phone! I was considering the Ascente Mate 6.1, but since its battery is non-removable, this is a NO for me. 6.3 will just be perfect - I always like big screen phones!

I doubt the galaxy s4 having the octacore chipset because it has overheating issues and I'd love to see the super amoled display but it's an upcoming technology which couldn't even give a non pentile display for the s3 at that time

I very much doubt it will pack an octacore chipset. Not with the release date standing so close. Not that it really matters that much, lets face it. It is not like the S3 is sluggish....
Am I the only one who as yet to see any tangible improvement over the S3 in these rumours?
Slightly bigger screen with FHD. I very much doubt we'll be able to notice any real world difference between 720p and 1080p on a cell phone. Less colour shift at wide viewing angles, improved colour accuracy and the possibility to calibrate the screen are more important towards better screens than ppi count.
13MP camera? I wish manufacturers had stopped this pointless pixel race already and took steps to really improve image quality - bigger sensors for starters, improved quality in low light, better quality optics, etc. Oh, and is it so hard to put a physical shutter button on the phone? It is not like space is lacking...
Alas, I fear the S4 will just be an S3 with minor "improvements" in order to keep the yearly update cycle of top-of-the-range phones.

Yeah i agree with you, the s4 might pack the exynos 5440 quadcore chipset and the note 3 will feature the octacore i suppose
I absolutely loved the physical shutter button on the older phones and its more of a daily use thing when you got 5"+ phones, would love to see a shutter button like the lock button on the xperia z
Samsung hopefully will pull a rabbit out of the hat in its march event because after looking at other devices like the xperia z, optimus g pro, htc one and Tegra 4 chipset i doubt it that Samsung will continue its reign in the smartphone world due to no INNOVATION

LCD = Fail
Just ordered a Note 2 because i hate LCD. These 1080p LCD's are epic failures. Colours suck and so does the power usage from the LED's needed to keep the brightness up.
I find it hard to believe their "accuracy" is good because who would make their colours so bland and boring.
Im going to the note 2 with 2 spare batteries a charging stand and 64GB SD Card. Turn the brightness up to 100% and enjoy this phone to the full.
Im sick and tired of being conservative with these crap sealed battery phones with LCD screens running the brightness at 10% to get through the day.

If I were you I wouldn't rush buying that spare battery. I too was a spare battery advocate until I bought the Note 2. However, with the Note 2 I never felt the need for a spare battery. The battery life is really impressive. Try the phone for a month before you make a decision. You'll be surprise with the amount of juice the Note 2's battery packs.

5 star reviews so far so im guessing they will be fine. Might not last as long as Samsungs but then i can buy 4 of these for the price of 1 samsung one.
Perhaps it's better to wait until the S4 is officially announced before making your decision? I'm not a particular fan of lcd either but there's no concrete evidence behind these rumours.

Apologies for a question that's certainly been asked before although mine might be a little different.
At the moment I have a HTC Desire S that's served me well for a while.
I've been debating upgrading for a while and I have been waiting to see what the HTC One Mini was going to be all about. However literately today I noticed the specs for the Nexus 4 and Samsung S4 Mini and was wondering if it was really worth buying the HTC One Mini.
So I did a bit of research with the Nexus 4 and I the price of the phone is just to tempting to ignore especially for 16GB. I also realised that potentially the Nexus 5 is going to be released soon.
Basically, I wanted to know if it was worth waiting for the Nexus 5, however my additional question was relating to the size of the Nexus 5, is anyone aware of how big it might be? I don't want anything bigger than the Nexus 4 Ideally as I heard a rumour it might be one of those phablet (spelling?) types?

There has been no word from Google that they will even make a Nexus 5. If they do it won't be available for sale till late November early December so you're looking at waiting 4 more months. You also take the chance that it will be a lot more expensive than the Nexus 4, a good $200 more if it has a larger screen and LTE and top of the line hardware.

If a Nexus 5 were to be announced, it's likely Google will base it off the Optimus G2 which should be LG's flagship phone, most likely selling it for $500+. In that case I think it's hardly possible that the next Nexus will be cheap.. Go for the Nexus 4, I am
I've had my Nexus 4 since launch and I absolutely love it. Great build quality and as fast as I'd ever need it to be.
However, with that said, if I were in your shoes I would hold out till the Moto X is announced officially next week. It looks to be a very promising phone and I like the fact that it will be less fragile than the Nexus 4 and have a better camera. Supposedly it's beating out the Nexus 4 in benchmark tests as well.
I imagine you will love either phone but definitely wait until you see the official Moto X before making your decision.

N4 blows the Moto X away in specs.
I'd say wait for the N5. What can the N4 do that your phone can't?
Buy the Nexus 4. If the Nexus 5 comes out and it is similarly priced, buy that too.
The good thing about Nexus devices on the play store is that their cost is not prohibitively expensive. Also, as mentioned...there has been no official word at all on Google's end about the Nexus 5.

Where are you getting that antutu score for the nexus 4? It isn't uncommon for the nexus 4 to break 20k+. That score is certainly not a good representation. Benchmarks in general aren't. Don't base opinions regarding to performance on benchmarks. A touchwiz GS4 can easily score 26k+ in antutu but in real life usage has lag, stutter, and slowdown (in which case the Nexus 4 beats it outright in performance IMO)
Benchmarks don't mean s***. Don't base any decisions on them. try out the phone for yourself.

I couldn't agree more with you about benchmarks. Just trying to show that there really is no proof at all that the Moto X won't perform as well or better than the Nexus 4. Just because it doesn't have a quad core CPU doesn't mean it won't be optimized and fast. I fully anticipate the Moto X to be as fluid or more fluid than the Nexus 4 as far as usability goes.
I'm personally looking forward to it and if I were in the OP's shoes I'd hold off on buying anything until they see the full release of the Moto X.

I agree. The Nexus 4 is already pretty damn smooth as it is (ESPECIALLY on 4.3 ). An improvement on that would be phenomenal for the moto x. We are at the stage in the smartphone game where specs themselves don't mean much anymore because software optimization is becoming really good (look at iOS and Windows Phone). I think Android 4.3 further solidifies that notion. I'd say to the OP, no matter what modern smartphone you decide to buy you can bet on it that it will be a fast and efficient phone. We're not in 2010 anymore.

Once you make the decision of getting the new model you will see there something newer is on the market. The moment you holding and using your phone is priceless. Why think too much just grab the phone when you need the phone.

Well said... Always confused when people ask others to help them make decisions especially when there is Google. All the information you need is out there and nobody here knows more about when G5 is coming then you do or Google. Buy what you want to buy and keep it moving, its a phone and it will be obsolete the moment you buy... LOL
N4 and rooted with custom kernel will keep phone cool, battery lasting long and a smile on your face
