Alleged Leak of the Final Body of GSIII

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Alle...-both-physical-and-capacitive-buttons_id29554
Looks legit, and it lines up with everything we've seen so far.

seems to be a fake
http://www.galaxys3blog.net/2012/04/first-real-picture-of-samsungs-galaxy.html

I'm glad it's fake. I want Samsung to blow me away with a fantastic design, not a nexus rehash.
Bring on the 3rd! (4th in my part of the world)

well disguised fake!! The phone is switched off then how come the buttons will glow?? lol .....

I'd be pissed if it was that. Looks like the nexus.

I'm glad it's fake but I wouldn't be surprised if the final design looks sort of like this

Came on, this is a Nexus

This was confirmed as a fake a few days ago. Remove the badly shopped volume rocker, Samsung logo and buttons and you have the original picture, a G Nexus.

OMG Samsung is getting better in marketing now which is good by teasing potential buyers I just hope that there is a major overhaul from S2 to S3 or people will be disappointed again like what Apple did from IP4 to 4s.

Not expecting any major shifts from the Nexus kinda design. I bet that the One X will still be the best design and most premium feeling handset tomorrow.
But hey Samsung, I wouldn't mind losing the bet!!

Looks like it wasn't fake after all...

While it certainly resembles it, it definitely wasn't real. They found the original image from that from months ago.

Wow, thanks for this, your section with the pen use was especially helpful! I was pretty much sold before, but you showed even more details of the pen I hadn't seen before (like the different textures, and you showed off the pressure really well), and now I am 200% sold. I can't wait for the release!

Is it just me or has anyone noticed that all the units that people got are all colored white? Anyone happen to see a black one in the wild?
Or is it that the vendors only currently just sell the white version?

White is the only color I have seen available yet. Some places have the black for preorder though. I got the white one from Negri, ordered mine on Saturday think and it came in today. Its super awesome and the white isn't bad. My first choice would have been the black but getting it sooner was higher up in the want list. Overall I'm very happy with it.

Please close this thread already... the second batch of pics were floating around before the S3 even came out lmfao...
There is no WAY they are even remotely close to deciding what the S3 looks like nevermind creating prototypes.

yes the pics are bogus ...but Samsung claims that the S4 will be nothing like what anyone can imagine ....the S4 will be a whole new generation of a smartphone ...many new technologies will be introduced
so if everyone thinks that the Galaxy S2 & S3 are impressive ...iam sure the S4 will rock the world ...it has to for Samsung to survive
if Apple doesn't sue the life out of them by then

Love the S3's design. Hope it stays that way instead of being a rectangle

Samsung is much, much, MUCH larger than their mobile division. Saying Samsung won't survive because one of their clients is suing a foreign office of their mobile division is like saying the USA will go bankrupt because IBM Argentina lost money.

I couldn't have said it better myself. Saying Samsung will go broke because of 1 device is a statement of stupidity: they don't know jack about Samsung. They don't know that whatever happens, Samsung is in a win-win position: if Apple takes the hill, Samsung wins, because they provide several key components (like DDR memory) for the iCrap devices. Samsung's solid state and IC business is waaay larger than their mobile division. What we see with Samsung phones is like the tip of the iceberg. They manufacture ICs and components that are used in every single industry: manufacturing, military, health, telecom, etc, etc, etc.
BTW, why are people feeding these trolls?

I don't care what it looks like, just get rid of the f½#$£# physical home button and I'll be happy.

Now their stock is gone back down again because of ip5 disappointment and not-as-impressive-as-hoped sales figures.
They haven't got one cent of that 1 billion dollars yet and its looking more and more likely that they won't be getting it at all.
Their rubberband patent has been deemed invalid as of today, bring on the appeals.
The USPTO is finally copping on to what apple are doing, I wouldn't be surprised to see this happen to more of their patents.

Recent galaxy s4 reviews will make us all smile

If u were one of those people that was torn between the HTC one and the galaxy s4 .. well.. laggy, gimmicky, and boring design all seem to be mentioned in all the top website reviews on the final build s4. Stuff.tv and pocketnow are amoung a few sites rating the HTC one higher than the s4

I have noticed that too. So glad I've got One.

After having a galaxy s (still going) and seeing Samsung's lack of software support, on that alone I'd choose the HTC ONE. I'd be happy with the hardware upgrade of the S4, but the ONE seems like its of better build quality.

Not only that, but the whole PR debacle where Samsung was revealed to have been spreading bad user reviews of the HTC One also casts a shadow of doubt on anybody ridiculously badmouthing the One. Good job Samsung!
Hopefully the fact that almost all of the reviews mention the HTC One in comparison will give it the media exposure it is lacking due to minimal advertising.

Wow is that confirmed to be true? But yeah its some media exposure for HTC is always good.

In my past experiences, Samsung was not much better. I hated dealing with their customer service as well, was a pain in the rear.

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/samsung-says-galaxy-s4-delayed-191217386.html
yeah right

I suppose I could just be having a bad experience with Samsung. In a way I'm glad, otherwise I wouldn't have tried so many great ROMs. I still think it should have been upgraded past gingerbread though.

just picked up my One a couple days ago. Wow. This thing is so buttery smooth it's like silk! I'm totally digging this masterpiece.

i never had a phone from them, but i had one of their high end $ 3000 led tv got it replaced twice by amazon (thanks amazon) while samsung customer service a-hole told me (after 50+ calls over a month and 2 tv sets) they will not honor the warranty due me abusing the tv by keeping it on for more than 6 hours because the tv was reseting every 15-30 min (really i bought an lg led never had problem with and will keep on for a day sometime w/o problem), so no thanks if samsung will make the last anything on the planet i will not buy it.

Sony , Nokia , ASUS, LG's problems disappeared in a second. hTC sacrifices itself to save the world.

I was one of the people who was torn between the S4 and HTC One i kept changing me mind right up to the last minute. I was coming from an S2 which i never had any problems with infact its still a great phone over 2 years old (the misses uses it now and loves it) I'm glad i went with the One though it has that WOW factor that i dont think the S4 has. i'm more than happy with my decision the One is an amazing piece of kit

I take it all but the most demented Sammy trolls are now far too busy over on the S4 forums to hang around our street corner anymore.

[Q] Is this Samsung Galaxy S4 a fake?

Hi, I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 and I have been told by some people that it is fake.
Could anyone confirm this? I will post the CPU Z and Atutu results, as well as the phone:

Its definitely real. No fake phone would have the exact same specs as the real device and look exactly the same too. Jfltexx is the real name of the S4, so yeah, its real. Whoever said its fake is probably just jealous or have never seen the fat back of the S-View cover before.
