Interesting... Specs look believable, not sure what to make of the video though... How did you stumble on this?

Looks like a Simsung rather then a Samsung

That's really disappointing if that is indeed the final design. Hopefully that is the SGS 2 Plus and not the SGS3.

Yep, this just looks like a very plain design. I was expecting something more creative from Samsung..

Yeah I call bs

Looks a lot like: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9300_leaked_info_suggests_a_midmay_launch-news-4027.php
GSMArena seems to suggest that this is indeed the Galaxy M, which could be seen as the successor to the Galaxy S II, but is in fact a midrange device. This could leave the top spot open for a true successor later this year.

LOL what hmmm disappointing design .........

I wish this was fake. But if you look at a few of the leaked pictures from the last few weeks and watch that video this looks pretty genuine. Let's just hope this wasn't the final chosen design ....

If that isn't the real sgs3 I'm betting that it will be extremely similar. Especially in design and form factor. Anybody that thinks it will have a radical new design and styling has rocks in their head. Samsung won't stray too far from the sgs 1 & 2 design style which has been so successful for them. This is also the reason they won't part with touchwiz. . Too much change risks alienating existing customers and may prevent them from upgrading. One of the reasons I got the gs2 is because of the simple minimalist design, I would be very disappointed if the final form factor of the gs3 isn't very similar to the gs2. Would seriously consider changing manufacturors.

The report from CNET seems to support that this is indeed the SGS3 we're looking at.

That is the S3 i believe.

If not this one, it will be pretty close to that...i was hoping to a new design U.U

Oh no...it is ugly.. Hope it is fake..please samsung say this is not s3...

If they want to fight wtit ONE (X/S) series this one will loose, thats why i think its not the SGS3, it may be some other "Galaxy" that we dont know of yet. Remember that Samsung copyrighted 6 phone names in the past month
This is for sure not the SGS3

really hope it's not the S3, if so I'm gonna give it a miss and wait for the next Nexus phone

The galaxy nexus is more sexy than this >…<

Doubt the SGS3 will loose to the One X, considering it's the official phone of the London Olympics.
Please Samsung, why did you have to show off a sexy looking device at CES and then give us this(I know it was faked, but the design is still beautiful)?
What could have been the sexiest phone ever:

[POLL] What Made You to Buy / Pre Order / Like Xperia Z?

Just like the title- what made you to like XZ and buy or pre order the phone?
For me, I just liked everything of Xperia Z. but waiting for price drop!
Please tick your reason in above poll. You can select multiple choices!

I desperately need an upgrade as my arc s is to slow for my usage, my contract was expired in august but didn't like any phone at the moment enough to upgrade. I was tempted by the one x+ but I like the looks better of the xperia z and it is more up to date. I think any 2012-2013 high end phone would be good enough for me so I have the luxury of just taking the one I like. When the One was presented I was thinking of switching but that phone just isn't for me.
love your city and country btw

Design & Build quality
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

I like Shiny things

Best looking handset i have ever seen simple.

i bought the xperia z, because i had a pretty good experience with the xperia arc s. I also like sony's ui, i think it's much better than touch wiz.

i love design, build quality, performance, sony ui ...amazing phone!!!!

Well everything, but the Design & build quality gave it the edge over the competition.

Fancied a change from Samsung and HTC, the more I see the XZ it makes me think how beautiful it is!
Really Sony have put out all the stops this year, I think it's the best looking Android phone and I want a premium handset that not only looks the part, takes decent pictures/videos too!

Design. I like subtle design with tiny elegant details; like a black Mercedes. HTC One is on the other end of the scale. It's a white Toyota Prius with a boomblaster on its roof.

awesome and the thing is the headphone jack not cover but yet its waterproof that some next generation stuff sony!!

z1 has open jack, so nothing new. To be honest this is pointless, so they add more ram, bigger battery and a useless camera. What is the point of that if they cant even provide a good working camera for other phones. Each update make the camera worser. Phone companies dont know what else to do, so they bump up the speeds and so on, think its best thing ever.

The new UI, new function such as Time Shift Video 4K and more on 4.4(XZ2) will port to XZ

never knew the z1 had it first i had the xperia z and it had a flap on it so thats news to me

I read at Mobile-review.com preview that Sony finally removed those protective films from front/back. Can anyone confirm this?

Released globally in March.... but I guess globally doesn't include the US. We'll probably get Z2s in like august or something. This sucks though, hoping it comes to the US soon and with tmobile again.
I skipped in the Z1 because it's not that big of an upgrade. What I also like about Z2 is that FINALLY, another company decides to put dual speakers on the front of the phone for audio. Here's hoping the camera is a lot better, preferably in low light conditions.

Z2 looks awesome and promising. SONY is on the right track.

Just a ping pong tool.
5.2.. If i want a big screen i will buy a tablet not a phone. Unfortunately z1 compact is like a cheap china phone without black glass cover.

Yeah. it has thinner bezel, according to measurement in comparison with Z and Z1.

Good bye and thanks.

I don't like long goodbyes, so I'll be brief. I got myself a Google nexus 5, and so i'm stopping with testing and flashing x10. A lot of thanks to this community which have helped me since 2009. It was fun and great with you all. Of course I'll be checking in every now and then to see the progress on the developments.
Since 2009, my x10 has gotten three lives thanks to some great developers, and it still is running great.

Keep us/me updated about how good/bad nexus 5 feels than a sony flagship. I'm thinking to change device as well
And also good luck mate. Was pleasure reading your results...

Hi all,
You really can't compare a 2009 Somy flasgship with a 2013 Nexus.
If I'd compare the Nexus 5 with the current Sony flagships (Z1, Z2, etc.) than i would definitley choose the Nexus 5.
Reason for that is that i like the pure Android experience. This is what Google has meant. LG has made the hardware and they've used the exact samen hardware for their own LG G2. So, no difference there.
But in the software they have added their one stuff. And all the others (Sony, HTC, OPPO, etc.) are doing the same.
But Android is complete already. Google itself has all the stuff i need.
Sure, other brands have somy nifty stuff build in. But all the populair stuff they create will be ported or recreated very fast. So other devices/users can use it also.
But (IMHO) most of the stuff they build is marketing. The intended and needed functionality is already on Android.
As for performance. You can't beat this device. But should you?
The HTC One, or the LG G2 are also really fast! I sure cannot notice the difference in their performances.
And if i add up the price you pay for a Nexus..... Choice wasn't that hard for me.
Best regards,
UltimateGeppie

By flagship, i meant the Z1, Z ultra etc. I heard from a lot of people that sony devices are underpowered. Read on reviews also that the 20.3 mp of Z1 could not win over wide functionality of nxs 5 and note 3 camera. Sony has good hardware but they lag on software side. Like you see, S4 is packed with sensors. Even though they're gonna copy the idea of water resistance and finger detector in S5 but people are still gonna prefer it over Z2.
Nxs 5 outnumbers all the flagships out there and that too in a reasonable price.
Iphone is expensive sh*t. The best, but useless....

Yeah I've got a Z1 and a note 3. I've found myself using my note 3 on a daily basis. Everything seems better with it.
But the Z1 has a better feel to it. Although I'm starting the like the leather feel on the note 3 more each day.
It's a shame. Sony have a good ui and build, they just can't seem to get it right. Even with the camera. my note 3 takes faster/better pics.
BTW selling my Z1 if anyone's up for an upgrade to their X 10

Galaxy s5 looks more promising than Z2. Sony have got the potential but their ethics to keep everything ORIGNAL are letting them down. Samsung, cheating and stealing other brands' main things are growing so high. Nexus 5, being simple and cheaper yet more powerful is gonna ve my next choice.
Sony devices have low resale value. Samsung, iPhone can be sold in price comparable to brand new

On the upside, HTC, Samsung, and LG have already done their flagship releases for this year, so they only have to worry about the Galaxy Note (not a direct Z3 competitor) and the iPhone (which frankly isn't going to be cross-shopped). The Z2 got lost in the shuffle earlier this year, didn't quite stack up against the others, and none of the US carriers even bothered to pick it up.

Z2 was awesome but it slid like hell
Until I dropped it at the bottom of Ephemerisle, my Z2 was an awesome device, and I loved it much over the Samsung Galaxy S5 that I have now.
The only problem - it was WAY too slippery. I'd put it on any slightly not straight surface, and it would slip. Off the couch, off the car seat, off of everything.
Has this been fixed in the Z3?

they are glass on both sides so unless they make rubber glass, no.. i hardly see this as an issue. i mean, it's either a cheap rubber plastic phone or a phone made of quality material. sometimes you just have to make some sacrifices..

Yes, it's called a case.

whoa, pricing in the UK already! waiting in Canada ...
wonder what will happen with the Z2 price. they can't have both phones at $700, and they certainly shouldn't charge more than that for the Z3.

I'm already waiting for Amazon US prices... :crossfingers:

I guess i know how you z2 owners feel now. I have the note 3 and the 4 did not impress at all. Z3 is probably my next phone due to the ps4 feature so there is no reason to buy a vita. Wonder how much it will cost in the us?

That's good news. I don't wanna buy a T-Mobile one if it has their branding all over it though. I'd rather get one from the Sony store unlocked if possible.

Did you watch the video? I didn't see Tmobile on there at all except on the start up. Unless they brand it later on down the road.

You may be thinking Verizon there, T-Mobile generally doesn't go that crazy with the branding.
