Galaxy S3 Rumors

Having alot of fun with this discussion over at the I9100 forums. So I'm posting it here so we can speculate on the new phone which seems beastly.
It also seems to look more like our phone do to the navigation buttons.

I hope we get a metal case. I can't stand the plastic on these things.

I like it. Makes it extremely light. Also durable actually. Less weight means less impact force for accidental drops.

I think it will got the metal case.

REally dont care much for metal case. Iphone does and sucks anyway. Every single fall breaks something. I prefer they way it is... plus a silicon protection case.

but dont forget that rumor is a rumor

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.

the galaxy 3 will be next year ?

probably will be out in the next few months.
Won't be available subsidized by a US carrier until November.

will be nice to view new generation galaxy s2 secend year 2012

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
here you see my source where i get the information there are more pictures but its in German because im a German but i translatet the informations.

If it won't be Announced on MWC 2012 then it won't be released by Summer and this kinda sucks as I was looking forward to upgrade my aged Galaxy S but wanted to get S3 instead of almost year old S2

It is "rumored" it will not release until later in the year..Q4 at the soonest... just learned that last night actually while checking out the Galaxy Note
Specs are being kept top secret and these guys at Samsung are very tight lipped about it.

Is this the Galaxy Note 2? [27-01-2012]

Hi guys,
Is this the Galaxy Note 2? i hope so!

What can we learn from the image?
-HW button for camera
-No HW button but ICS software buttons (like GalaxyNexus)
-Better SAmoled screen higher PPI, i dont think the screen is bigger.
-Edge to Edge screen
-Learning..
Looks pretty good huh?
Tell us what you think of the image and give us your opinion!

If it is, I don't want it! No hardware/dedicated buttons=No deal for me! Most likely this isn't the Note; I'd find it hard-pressed that they'd have a new version built a few scant months after the first Note was released. That would kill Note sales!

it is fake,there are any official information about note 2. but i like this design very much

If the screen size and resolution remains the same then you dont get a higher PPI.

EarlZ maybe was meant like the PenTile vs Samoled Plus. Same res but not the same res. And you know what I mean

From what I understand PPI does not care for subpixel its basically display resolution and display size.. it does not factor in the subpixel count.

Could be the Galaxy S3?
Apparently a snapshot of it was leaked in a promo video at CES this year.

If screen is edge to edge, that wouldn't be good imho. There needs to be a bezel. Otherwise you would have too many accidental presses just by holding the phone.

This is only concept render from conceptphones

I think its too early for Galaxy Note 2, it won't be public till end of 2012. Since Samsung is still in the process of releasing it in UK n US

A design with such a thin bezel doesn't look too realistic.

Yeah I remember seeing that picture and others on sites but I'm pretty sure it was concept fan art for the Galaxy SIII.

Just compare the sharpness of the camera/earpiece grill vs the sharpness of the image. Obviously it is a render.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium

It's sure a fake. Why should they invent a mobile phone without and buttons at the bottom. It's ugly without. Just my opinion

Note 2 most certainly won't have hardware buttons.
I'd rather have them too.
Will mimic the Nexus.
Google has already directed developers to begin developing with that in mind.

This concept is the Samsung Galaxy S3, not the second note (N8000)
Btw N8000 got the wifi certificate some time ago I am looking forward to see the younger brother of my phone.

It's a concept none of us will ever see in real life, but many will dream about.

Samsung Galaxy S III - All Updates

On 23 April, Samsung begun a countdown for the next galaxy with an anagram.

}
Yesterday, the countdown finally stopped and a teaser for the upcoming galaxy was posted.
SUMMARY OF VIDEO ACCORDING TO ME----
The video begins in the wilderness showing a distant city, all lit up in the night. The camera then zooms into outer space along with text that reads ‘Where a galaxy fits perfectly into your hand’. This is a subtle hint that the phone won’t be as massive as the Galaxy Note or possibly, the Galaxy Nexus. I have a feeling Samsung may just stick to the 4.3-inch screen but with a much higher resolution. This makes perfect sense and I hope they do that.
The camera then pans out across different galaxies along with another line, ‘Your view of the world grows even wider’. This could hint at the aspect ratio of the new phone. Any Other Guess! Anyone.
Then, it goes deeper into the universe and text appears, "AS YOU GAIN THE POWER TO EXPLORE IT FREELY & SWIFTLY', this time i'm cluelss.
Here comes the funniest part, the iSheeps, which shows a herd of sheep and the line, ‘…everyone else’.
The video ends with the Samsung logo and those very same blobs of metallic paint we saw in the invite. This definitely hints to the type of material used in the chassis of the S III or if not, at least the colours it will be available in. Sadly, at this moment, we don’t have any real clue about the phone itself and looking at how Samsung is hyping their next-gen Galaxy phone, I really doubt those leaked pictures are the real deal.
It appears as if Samsung is trying to throw us off the track here into thinking that the GT-I9300 is indeed the S III, which it isn’t (at least, that’s what we hope). Only a few days are left for Samsung’s Mobile Unpacked 2012 event which will take place on May 3, so see you then.

So we let us suprise. Wow !!

This may be our first real picture:

I still hope there will be more than one device revealed on May 3rd.
Three stones on the invitation card: one small, one medium, one large.
Could be a phone, a phablet (note) and a tablet

I voted "don't know" it depends on a number of factors, it will have to beat the SGSII in every department for it to outsell it, price too will be a factor, many countries are in deep recession and many people cannot afford the luxury of shelling out big money on a smartphone so i hope Samsung don't vastly overcharge, €599 is far too much this is the figure that was given on the Amazon German website

BLN

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 - GSM Arena

GSM arena has some info on what might be N2.
And I just bought a S3 due to the rumors.
5.5" screen
Also rumored is an 8MP camera with improved sensor, as well as 1.5 GB of RAM, along with a new Exynos 5250 chipset, featuring a dual-core ARM-15 processor. 4G connectivity will allegedly come standard for all international units.
---
I think that the N2 atleast should have a quadcore at 1.6Ghz, 2GB of RAM...
But, let's see what hapends, I have ordered the S3 (With a Beats Pro headset ) and if the N2 kicks ass...I might sell the S3 again for the N2...
Source:
http://www.gsmarena.com/galaxy_note_2_allegedly_scheduled_for_october_2012-news-4334.php

I dont think n2 will have quad core and 2gb ram,
first, if n2 use top spec, what is the selling point for s3/4?
Second, now quad core is base on a9, the mentioned dual core is base on a15
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium HD app

if it goes with quad cpu like s3, then resolution will be the same, if resolution will be same, no point to make bigger screen.
So in my theory:
if goes with 5250 eynos, resolution and screen will be bigger
if with quad cpu, resolution and screen will be same

haha, I was right with my comic strip day before yesterday at the Note 2 rumormil thread.

GSMArena used the same source as the other guy who posted this in the general forum.
It's bogus.
Go read it. It's completely ridiculous.

This is how rumors get started.
A blogspam site ("ubuntulife") posted poorly written speculation a few days ago. I believe mobilesyrup picked it up and now gsmarena.
This is basically the equivalent of the blind leading the blind. Except in this case they're stupid. But maybe also blind, too.
This is also why "blogs" and "bloggers" aren't respected. They don't follow the tenets of journalism, aren't double checking their facts and sources, aren't expected to have any sort of journalistic integrity, have no accountability, don't follow style guides, don't have knowledge of the law regarding what/when/how they can write certain things and never had to attend school and/or receive certification to blog.
I expect this bogus "story" to fully make the rounds of the Internet.

you should know that it just will be a 5.3" version of the S3 ... Samsung arn't stupid and know we'll all buy it... that way the can save newer tech for S4/N3

Not necessarily. It depends on what their competitor's offerings are at the time. Samsung may be forced to move in the dual core A15 2.0ghz by end of the year depending on what HTC, Apple, Motorola shove into their devices.

When you think about it it makes sense to have two flagship models from a business point of view then they can almost always claim that they have the best hardware
And with that logic we can't make any prediction about n2 hardware until we see what competitors markets as an s3 killer
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

I think the S3 and Note 2 will tackle 2 different markets - the more tech guys/teenagers and especially people who already have an S2 will opt for the most popular phone by following the market trend, which is the S3. While business users/people who take notes regularly & those who prefer larger screen, will opt for the Note2. If you look at all the Android phones that are released recently or will be released, there is not 1 single phone that is appealing except the S3. It's a win/win situation for Samsung and the company seems to be on a winning stride with its flagship phones.

My guess is Note2 will be sharing the same hardware (SoC) as the SGS3, like they did with the SGS2 and Note1, i would be happy with it, but if i may choose i rather have the dualcore A15.
Only time will tell...

Rumors note 3 (photo)

The rumors of the next generation Samsung Galaxy Note phablet are growing thick and fast. An alleged image of the Galaxy Note III phablet has appeared online, sporting a 5.9-inch display.
According to a report from MyDrivers, the upcoming Galaxy Note phablet will feature a Full HD display and packs a punch with the company's own Exynos 5410 Octa processor, with the four powerful Cortex A15 chips clocked at 2.0 GHz, and the remaining four power-saving Cortex A7 chips running at 1.7 GHz.
Samsung Galaxy Note III is said to come with 3 GB of RAM and will run on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. Furthermore, the phablet is rumored to be unveiled during IFA 2013.

Umm rumours seems to contradict themselves. We have confirmation that the Note III will have Unbreakable flexible OLED(720p) screen.
The First Flexible AMOLED Display to be launched in Q4’2013
So maybe THIS post is right. There will be 2 versions, One full HD(glass) and one 720p(flexible plastic)

Interesting but why does it not even have a Samsung logo? Plus the bezel seems far too big at the bottom. Chinese knock off perhaps?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app

I agree, the phone doesn't quite look high enough quality. I'd be suprised if they made the bezzle that big or the home button that small. I'm also hoping that they wont make the handset that much bigger than the note 2.
As for the specs... they are what I would have guessed.
sent on the move from my Note2

And why does it say i9500 at the bottom. Maybe if there was more greasy fingerprints on the phone we could see better.lol

I don't know why you say we don't have confirmation. The source comes from the OLED association, it's pretty solid. And yes it will be 720p. We know they can't produce enough flexible screen for the market so logic dictates that they will have two versions.
And yes, even on the Mydrivers website the chinese comments all says the phone is a fake.

Because the "oled association" is not Samsung and they don't have any papers about the future devices of any brand as all of them are secret projects to avoid industrial espionage, so until samsung says that, it is fake.
Also, note it is a top device of samsung who cannot sell low specs like 720p, so likely the device with the new unbreakable screen with 720p will be a new one to test the market, not the second bestseller of samsung.

Well the news is from OLED Association but the info comes from SDC(Samsung Display Corporation). And if you read it doesn't say "rumours" anywhere.
Note III is a top device yes, so it should have top technology. Being the first device in the world to have a flexible unbreakable screen is not a little thing even if it is only a 720p. If having a 0.5mm flexible 720p(opposed to 1.5mm glass) means getting a bigger battery, I say go for it Samsung. I would buy a Note III with 4500mAh battery and 720p screen anytime.
