A 4.5" inch screen is more probable. I agree.
Well, a possible release date of Jelly Bean has yet to be confirmed. And if released in August this year, this certainly will not be in the Note 2. Jelly Bean will first arrive in Nexus 4 and it will take developers a few weeks to overlay their UI's on newer models
Touchwiz 5.0 is obvious for new devices coming out with ICS, so no need to include that in the specifications. Existing S2 and and Note will have ICS soon, but with the existing Touchwiz 4.0 interface.
16MP looks promising since sensors were already introduced late last year, Oct. 2011
Battery seems to be appropriate for the S2, since the battery compartment size will be able accommodate larger batteries due to the .2" inch increase in screen size.
3D may or may not appear. What remains suspicious is how Samsung decided to refer their new AMOLED displays as SAMOLED 3. HEY, YOU NEVER KNOW!
HzO is a possibility, but seeing that Samsung has to shell extra money out of their pockets puts this feature into question.
2GB will be able to accommodate more processes to run in the background, and since the CPU will be bumped, 2GB doesn't look like too much.
The Exynos 5250 (A15) that you are referring to may be featured in Phablets and or Tablets. This we will have to wait and see.
I think a lot of these updates are obvious, so as the clock ticks, we sit down and think.

What analysis? Have you been tracking CPU developments and historical lead times for flagship phones? Very cool if you have been.
Upgrading S3 to Nexus size makes sense. But 2.0ghz is a big jump. Is that equivelant rank/cost of 1.2ghz when S2 was new?
Note 2 going quad... well of ALL the phones on the market this would make most sense. Note should be first with Quad.
2GB sounds nice but doesn't smell right. I hope my phone doesn't turn into a bloated POS like windows that needs 1GB RAM and 1GHz CPU just to run!
3d... who knows. If they think it will make them money then sure. They are using all their ammo on Apple and not saving stuff till later like many companies often do. Let's hope they make it as good as they can and save nothing for the S4 / Note2 ;-)

Sad, but true, I have been following the CPU development and historical lead times of flagship phones in a way that presents itself more practically.
It would sound logical to bump the speed to 2.0 GHz since Exynos 4210 can be overclocked to 1.8 GHz stable. Samsung comfortably bumped the Note to 1.4GHz--gives every reason to believe another speed bump is likely for later flagship phones from the company.
I wouldn't be surprised though, if Samsung made USB 3.0 debut on the Galaxy Note 2. There are initial reports that USB 3.0 will be introduced in mobile phones later this year. If the Note 2 releases in Early Fall, then there is time for Samsung to make changes to its PCB diagram in order to accommodate USB 3.0

I would bet, but that would be just stealing your money.
1) No 3D... Sorry Samsung hasn't committed to it and WILL NOT until 3D actually matures
2) HzO is possible... but highly IMPROBABLE. Why would Samsung cut out of its own Profits for something that isn't quite necessary in the 2012 year ??
3) Battery sizes are way off. The SGSII should be lower (~2,000mAh) and NOTE2 should be higher (~3,000mAh) from my estimates
4) Camera performance is wrong. Samsung makes the best lenses in any smartphone (besides Nokia) but they do so in small increments to just match the competition and not completely overwhelm them. 12MP is what will be released.
5) 2GB RAM is way too much. Its just a waste of resources. I am telling you now that it will still be 1GB RAM or 1.5GB, nothing more.
6) Processors. Samsung has proven this last two releases to be superior to the competition but not by a large margin. 2012 will see tricore and quadcore A9's and possibly a dual-A15 before the years end.
Quadcore makes no sense for Android.
Tricore is much better (same performance, better battery life).
But the chip makers are not making any tricores, so indeed the SIII will have a Quadcore A9.
The NOTE successor (if there's one in the works) should get a beefier Quadcore A9, otherwise it will be one of the first to get the next-gen A15 chip.
7) SGSIII won't have a 4.65in screen. That would inflate the device's body larger than the SII. I think a more modest 4.5in screen will arrive.
8) You failed to mention OS, which is just as important as those specs. Obviously the SIII and NOTE2 will come with ICS. But Samsung is making a new version of TouchWizz (v5) which may debut on the NOTE2 (if your lucky on the S3). Remember Android 5.0 JellyBean will be out around August bringing a few "Groundbreaking" features that were left out from ICS.
I like your ideas, they would make a good successor but you don't know this industry that well.
Have you noticed the shift from Nexus One to Nexus S?
-much more polished, fluid, easy experience but not really an upgrade compared to the competition (eg Galaxy S)
Or the shift from Nexus S to Galaxy Nexus?
-modest upgrade but a SII is still in the same league and the NOTE is superior to what is suppposed to be "Androids best".
I will post a more accurate description of the successors (if any) soon.

Some of your points I agree with; some I do not know enough about to comment on. This one however I disagree with. It's true that 2GB would be a waste of resources given the current demands of Android and common apps, but in the consumer electronics and computing industries they don't always go on what a device needs.
External platter-based hard drives do not need USB 3.0. LCD TVs do not need ridiculous 600Hz refresh rates. If it costs very little to increase the hardware to a level where they can market it further, that's often enough for them to do it. RAM is so cheap to manufacture right now that it wouldn't surprise me if they did start using 2GB or even more in Android phones. That's not to say it will happen; just that the fact it would be a waste doesn't mean it won't.

I think a lot of these updates are obvious, so as the clock ticks, we sit down and think.
Please please please no 3d.
I'll take a higher quality 2D screen over a 3D screen any day.

I'm sure if 3D is implemented, there will be an option to disable / enable it. Not a biggie, lol. I think the chances of 3D is 60/40.

Those points I agree with, you should update the OP (first post).
I also want to add:
-At 4.5in the SIII will have the same phsyical size as the SII since the Navigation buttons will be replaced with the on-screen ones
-There's new additional features for the SIII (LTE, NFC, Barometre, etc etc) which also takes up space in the phone
-Therefore, the increase in battery capacity will be limited to current technology (which is why 2,000mAh seems more plausible)
-Note: it doesn't cost much to bump 2AH to 2.3AH material wise, but it costs much more for the machines that make those batteries to properly stack the cloth of lithium.
-Apple and Samsung are direct competitors for cameras. They both try to match each others specs (not to surpass it). The difference in performance of 16MP and 12MP isn't much different but as a marketing tool it is.
Samsung has many lenses 0.3MP, 1.3MP, 2MP, 3.2MP, 5MP, 8MP, 12MP, 14.1MP, 16MP, 17.3MP for mobile devices.
So marketing wise, Samsung is more poised to choose a 12MP rear lens.
We know the SIII will be released before the NOTE2, and the fact that NOTE is supposed to be a beefier and larger version of Galaxy S.

Thing is, if the A15 performs as well as ARM claims, a dual core 2.0GHz Exynos 5250 should handily outperform a quad-core Tegra 3 (at the current 1.3GHz multicore speed) in CPU related tasks, in addition to being cheaper to manufacture and much much easier on power (28nm die size)
A15 is supposed to be 40% faster than A9 at the same clock speed, and the 5250 is being launched at 2.0GHz, which would give it TWICE the performance of the current N7000 Note (or Tab 7.7), CPU-wise.
That's not what I'd consider "low-end" for 2012.
^^^ I'd figure since Samsung plans to refresh its entire Galaxy Range of Products
5250 won't appear in devices 'till late this year--probably Q3
Unless Samsung makes an ultra-portable camera (smaller than compact) for mass market then 16MP that was introduced late last year, is reasonable for such a thing. However, since 16MP sensor is intended for mobile devices, and Samsung is already ready to put forward this to mass production-- chances are, we might see this in high-end devices this year, regardless. Just a thought...

Hi,
I was looking for a non-Chinese phone with 6gb RAM at a good deal.
Now, I have doubts about my decision.
I have just ordered a Samsung Galaxy F41.
I was wondering if I could get an honest review about the phone.
Also, after the warranty expires, I want to load it with a custom ROM. Are there any right now?
Warm regards,
Hitesh KH
