Recently, there's been a rumor going around saying that there will be a Galaxy SII Plus or Galaxy S3 that will be released with the iPhone 5 launch.
The new Galaxy SII plus would feature a 1.4 GHz dual core processor and possible upgrade on the screen resolution.
This one article kinda sums it all up.
Maybe the delay is because the phone needed some more upgrades to fight with the iPhone 5 (although I think the current Galaxy SII beats the speculated specs for the iPhone 5). Remember the SGSII passed FCC in April?
I would love an upgraded Galaxy SII on Sprint!

The Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus or S3 is rumoured to boast a 1.4GHz processor and 1GB of RAM, along with the ever-popular Super AMOLED screen and TouchWiz user interface. The original S2 has already gained a massive following overseas, currently selling in volumes across the UK in excess of the iPhone 4.
As such, an upgrade to an already superb unit could be just what Samsung need to deliver the extra ‘wow’ factor required to give the iPhone 5 a run for its money. Of course, attempting to better the iPhone 5 is akin to grasping in the dark, but it certainly seems that Samsung have every intention of setting the bar for the market, and setting it rather high at that.

Please add any Samsung/Sprint related rumors to the One stop Information shop thread. I will then add them to the OP, thus reducing the number of threads to read through. And i did add this to my OP, thanks for sharing.
interesting ... we shall have to wait and see
Samsung won 27 CES awards out which couple were given to S3 and Note 10.1

Although I agree with the Galaxy Note 10.1, the phone award should've gone to the Galaxy Note II instead. The US SIII with Snapdragon is horrible.
As well they should. Note 10.1 is a juicy tablet! :good:

Not sure what kind of experience you had, but what's evident from my experience, I think the US version is better than the quad core. Qualcomm dual core would be about equal with exynos quad. I think they made the right choice with the S3. I would own a note 2 but it's a bit redundant to me to own a phablet and tablet that both do the same thing.
I think the reason there is not much difference between qualcomm version and ex4 is because qualcomm has double the amount of Ram
I love my Galaxy S3 as it handles all the stuff that i want. But after S4 is launched i am knda confused whether to upgrade to Galaxy S4 as it is worth it or not? so what are your opinions about that?
Right now I honestly don't think so. It has a lot of cool features, but most of them are software related. The phone isn't a big enough jump from the s3 (for me) hardware wise to justify paying full retail for it.
Says on CNET that software features will also come to the S3. I guess we just have to wait unless someone can adapt the S4 rom to the S3.
AW: Worth Upgrading From Galaxy S3
If you got some cash to burn and want to always have the latest and greatest I think it is worth.
If none of these things apply to you then keep the S3. I take care of a S2 and apart from the screen resolution it is still cool.

Nope, not worth the upgrade.
Same question here, I'll wait for the reviews before deciding whether to upgrade or no.
Isn't really a jaw dropping Samsung Flagship Device
Well for me, it definitely was not a surprise to have a glimpse of the Galaxy S4 at that, much melodramatic, musical event.
As far as the design is concerned, iPhone 5 and HTC One are definitely ahead of the S4.
Body Casing: The Galaxy S4 is crafted from poly-carbonated material while the OmniBalance design with which the Sony Xperia Z is equipped seems more attractive.
Display: The S4 has a 441 ppi display which lags behind the HTC One display which stands at 468 ppi. Even the resolution is matchable with the HTC flagship phone!
Samsung Hub: Sorry for this mate too. Nothing's better than the BlackBerry Hub, at least for now.
So overall, this phone is not the supreme king of the smartphones which exist today. I would say that at this moment, this was not required and the Sony, HTC and BlackBerry flagship devices are definitely a better option for you.
I'm thinking of selling my galaxy note 2 to buy an s4 is it worth it. I love the note 2 but I also like having the latest phones. I have an s2 still and love it. I'm always changing ROMs as i do with my note and have had no problem with them at all hmmm decisions decicions ?

Design is subjective, and after owning the beautiful, and well built Nexus 4, I have to admit that I'm missing the plastic I had on my Galaxy Nexus. My Galaxy Nexus survived countless drops, and still looks almost new. I've been extremely lucky with my Nexus 4.
PPI means nothing. They both have 1920x1080 displays, the SGS4 simply has a larger 4.99" panel while the HTC One has a 4.7" panel.
The international version is ahead of both the HTC One and iPhone 5 with its Exynos 5 Octa, and more importantly its PowerVR SGX544MP3 GPU that's clocked at 533mhz.
It is really not worth upgrading at all - software things are coming to SGS4 - nothing new.
Hardware - also nothing :\
Buy a new computer/TV or something or wait till the next galaxy. Try HTC maybe (something different).
Im only upgrading because I have a Verizon SIII and I'm leaving the US in 3 weeks. I'm gonna need an international version although the VZW SIII works overseas.

The S3 will never have an IR-BLASTER.

Yeah that octa core cpu with a some a15's is not worth it.. so is the 1080p screen and the powervr gpu. Lolz
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Not upgrading for at least six months from now, will wait for all good reviews and then decide.. Also, considering first round of price drops..
If someone has an s3 then the upgrade is not worth immediately...
If coming from any other phone.. S4 will be a good option...
Imagine s4 without comparing it to s3...then you will see it to be a marvellous piece of gadget.. That's my verdict...!

I don't think I will be upgrading to the 4. But it still has some time to redeem itself from that idiotic joke of a keynote.
Just waiting for the reviews.
If you have the $$$ and dont care how much you spend I'd say go for it. I'm pretty content with my GS3 so I'll hold off upgrading for now
For people like me with a 2011 phone, I'd say it is definitely worth upgrading to. But for people with HTC one x/s3/other top phones of 2012 just wait until something better comes out at CES 2014

Depends on your carrier. If I was a betting man, I'm betting the radio on the Verizon one sucks so I'd be more likely to pick the DNA. That being said if by some miracle after more than one useless Samsung phone on Verizon e.g. Galaxy Nexus, if the receiver/antenna is actually fixed I would consider it as the PDA side of their phone is great. If you are on another carrier besides Verizon the phone might work well. It seems like Samsung hates Verizon for some reason.

im a gamer... and at least i want a good GPU.. with good MHz... for the Future and the Adrenos 320 is alredy1.5 years old how far you think this will take to launch the NOTE 3? i don tcare abour the screen. rlly i just care that is a phone and table and has the better... at least for 1 year i want future proof and i would like to explore de new Snapdragon s800...
Pleas write like a normal human being. S4 is future proof for at least a year till s5 comes out.
So is S3, still a good phone.
If you want a big phone with big battery wait for Note 3, if you want the phone now buy an s4 simple
i would defintly wait to see the diffrenet between the two but i guess note 3 will be bigger than s4 .
so yes wait
Dude, I post the same thing yesterday. I am stuck between Galaxy S4 or Note 3 too.
But if you want to buy galaxy s4, don't go for the octa core, go for the Snapdragon one. It is better in terms of developpement support and battery life. Octa core CPU has incomplet implement. They are working on the Exynos 5420 chipset right now, I think Note 3 will use this instead of the unfinished 5410 chipset.
If Note 3 would come out end June, I would definitely buy it. But the fact is it will not be released before September. And as I am someone not patient, I cannot wait 3 months.

Hello there S4 people
I am thinking of upgrading my i9100 (galaxy s2) to a s4 but i got a few questions i'm wondering about:
1st question:
How big of a difference can you feel when it comes to the i9505 and the i19506? Is it worth buying the i19506 when the price for the i19505 is 593$ and the i19506 is 740$ (thats the price in Denmark).
2nd question:
How big of a price drop do you think the s4 will see when the s5 launch? I know you don't know the answer here but it would be nice to hear some guesses
Thanks
