According to this German site, Samsung is developing a phone with a 5.3" Super OLED display.
Because it's not on the leaked roadmap, that would mean it won't be there before 2012.
Sounds great to me - even though I am a somewhat new Streak owner, it would be great to have a phone with new hardware. I got used to the 5 inch display so quickly, that I never want a smaller one again. But maybe 5.3" are too much, I don't know.
What do you think?
/edit: Have a look at this site, too: http://www.intomobile.com/2011/08/1...es-plans-introducing-53-inch-smartphone-fall/
way too big.. some of my pants barely accommodate a 3.7" screen phone (and no, there's nothing wrong with my pants, fyi).
but I know that there are lots of people who would buy a 5.3" screen phone just to say they have a 5.3" screen phone, so I wouldn't be surprised if this does happen. that bezel better be extremely thin.
That thing should be called phone/tablet hybrid. I guess anyone who buy it should get cargo pants if bothered to carry a bag along.
4" maximum for me, please. Heck, I think 3.7" is fine.

Agreed, 4 should be large enough for a phone (these are still phones, right?)
I would welcome a 5" screen. Bring it on Samsung! I'll be ready to upgrade from my SGSII next year.
A 5.3" Phone?
That could be interesting but I don't know if I would want to lug around a small tablet to use as a phone. Not to mention it would be hard to hold it.
5.3
it'll just about time when no border between tablet and handphones

Good question! I don't think any of our devices are really phones anymore.
Oh, and count me in in the group of 4'' and no more. When I look at the 4.3'' thingies at the media store, they seem too big to me.
4" is perfect. Holding something bigger than that up to my head would be awkward. Bluetooths are reserved for car use only.

This is the second time we've seen this similar interface (first was the guy that bought the Nexus S off eBay with ICS on it). I am thinking this is probably legit.

I guess... but with only a 1,750mAh battery, can it really withstand that screen size alongside the display? and actually be able to go a full day with it? I'm like 80% sure i'll be sticking with my Nexus S and hopefully it's single core processor can withstand ICS.

it really awkwardly looks allot like a nexus s. and he doesnt show the back and sides of the device.
so im thinking.BS!
its a nexus S with a ICS rom on it or custom rom.
even though. i want it! it looks damn nice!
Love it. Really looking forward to Google rolling ICS out to the Nexus S (given that I probably won't be picking up the Prime for quite some time).
Looks a lot better then ICS on nexus S last time.
Yeah those custom roms are amazing nowadays. They can actually move the front facing camera now ....

Not for me.
is it just me thinking this "bigger screen" thing is becoming a bit out of hand? Having choices is good, of course, but this is hardly "phone size" anymore. If i wanted a tablet, i'd get one...
Choice is good, as you say. I'm well keen for this one, the size is a positive for me!
It's tempting, much more than the Galaxy Nexus I would say.
Of course the size is up to your needs, I'm not quite sure myself, but it has the external SD slot, gorgeous high def screen, strong 2500mAh battery, CPU seems better too (not sure about the GPU part?) and you can use a pen.
People who like PDA will love this, that's still smaller than my wallet I put in my jacket pocket every day.

Thanks for the info (even though it's possibly bad news). The "built-in" stylus and the massive screen on the Galaxy Note are both very tempting features. The pentile display might turn out be a bit of a deal braker, though. As I mostly use my phone for looking up medical reference (which basically means filtering out relevant information from a wall of text), I would like my next phone to have a truly razor-sharp, as well as sizable display. I find it easier to read on the iphone 4 screen than I do on the SGS, and I suspect the SGS' pentile display is to blame.
As things stand right now, I suppose the Moto Droid RAZR might be the best alternative, even though I would like a screen closer to 5 inches.
edit: As things stand right now, I just ran out of alternatives (Droid RAZR being supposedly being pentile after all). Guess I'll have to wait for SGS3 or the like...

I can understand the one handed thing, if its just fine for you, then thats fine.
but for me, the way the iphone's straight up rectangular shape is, its just weird to hold in the hand, especially because of the tiny width. Talking about the s3 specifically, the curves on the edges make it feel less gigantic and more natural to hold in the hand. And there are tons of sizes available from every OEM. They just focus on larger for their flag ships because of the added functionallity.
Also, is "reduced ppi" REALLY going to kill you?

Ehhh.. sorta selfish statement, no? T-mobile conducted a survey and 70% or so wanted bigger phones. "Acceptable" is different in your eyes than other peoples eyes.
Likewise, I don't dislike smaller screens, just because I prefer a bigger screen size. As we know, hate is a word of great emotion and it seems ridiculous to hate the screen size of a phone.
And the iPhone 5 isn't the only 4incher out there (gawd that sounded wrong)

Consumers lie; or they don't know what they want.
I remember seeing Malcolm Gladwell talking about focus groups, and he used a coffee focus groups. Most people claimed they like strong dark coffee, but the truth is, most people actually prefer weak milky coffee. My point is, people aren't just binary, there's groups. Some like thinner phones, but value battery life more, some consider visibility to be more important than resolution. Some people want 4G, and don't give a damn about battery life.
At the end of the day, they need to make phones to cater to the multitude of customers. 4" is fine for many, its relatively petite; 4.5" is the sweet spot for me, 4.8-5.5 maybe for those who like the added features (extra res).
Even apple can't resist, which is why the rumours of a smaller ipad are constantly floating about. One size fits all is madness in the world of marketing.
I've got to agree in that mfrs seem to cripple phones with smaller screens in one way or another. Take last year's Galaxy Blaze on T-Mobile... 5 mp camera, but otherwise, same specs as TMO's GS2.
I think 4.5 is just about perfect. I can handle 4.8 as long as the overall phone size isn't much larger. If whatever the latest and greatest phone out the end of next year is 5"+, I'll be very disappointed and left buying sub-standard device because the Note is too big for my liking.
I have fairly large hands, but I prefer my screen to be a bit smaller because I want to be able to have more control over the phone. i feel that larger screen like the note for example are too big
large screens are fun, although i really like to be able to use my phone with only one hand..

As consumers, the survey is a reflection of what we want. Thus, no survey is worthless.
Also, you missed a spot. They wanted thinner phones as opposed to battery life, but that doesn't really counter the "large screen" preference most people want.
You live in 2012 like its 2010.

When I got my Captivate after having an iPhone for 2 years it was a welcome change. I thought the 4.3" phones would be too big for one handed use. Then I got a Galaxy S II with a 4.3" screen and it was fine. But I told myself the infuse with a 4.5" screen was too big. Now I'm using a One X with a 4.7" screen, just fine. Still one handed all the time comfortably. My hands are average size. The One X footprint isn't that much bigger than the Galaxy S II. Much smaller bezel. I think as they continue to decrease bezel screens can get a little bigger. 5" seems to be the biggest they could probably go without making the footprint much bigger. A 5" screen device with next to no bezel and on screen buttons would probably be about the same size as most of the 4.3-4.5" devices today. But I may feel different in a year.
I think phones are plenty thin today. The RAZR MAXX is a good example of packing a huge battery into a phone that still feels thin enough. Anything really under 9mm or so is thin enough, and there ate tricks to make phones feel thinner. Like what HTC did with the 8X.

Hi All,
So Samsung is on verge of Announcing Galaxy S4 Active, basically a much better phone then S4 except the Camera. Personally i am ok with that trade off as i get water proof features and a much better build quality. The pixel density is much more as well.
Rumoured Specs of Active from GSMARENA:
The specs are expected to be the same and the live pictures below confirm it - the device is running on a quad-core 1.9GHz processor with Adreno 320 GPU, which most definitely means a Snapdragon 600 chipset. The screen supposedly has the same size and resolution as the original Galaxy S4 - a 5.0-inch 1080p unit, though it's unclear if it's a Super AMOLED one or not. Strangely enough, the reported pixel density of the phone is 480ppi, so the display might actually be smaller.

I personally think this is actually the real Flagship from Samsung for this year and not S4, what are your thoughts, do you think you have been cheated by Samsung is you are an S4 owner, or you think it is a part of the market strategy and a must for samsung to consolidate it's numero uno position.
Its 480 dpi not ppi.
So its exactly same actually.
I feel cheated would have preferred a waterproof one as it's always rainy in the UK
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Why should it be DPI? DPI is no measurement for displays ...
Antutu is just showing false information.
Ontopic: Why would anyone feel cheated? It's the exact same phone, plus better durability and minus the 13 MP camera.
And even if it was better, do you sleep worse at night, when there is some faster phone out there? :laugh:
No nothing like that, i still remember people going all out on HTC when HTC one x+ was release saying that how they lost out on a flagship device, when they expected the flagship device the same way for one year. In this case S4 probably would maintain being a flagship for less then 3 months, so a lot of people might feel sad.
For me personally i think it is the right step, maybe this is what they wanted to launch as S4 all along, but probably were not able to complete the tests on time to release it in April.

What makes it a "much better phone?" It's a "different" phone and I'm willing to bet it'll be more expensive than the SGS4. If it's like other waterproof phones all the ports will have covers on them which is a pain in the ass. So it'll appeal to some people (not everyone wants a red phone) and not to others. But to those that want its features and bought a SGS4 because they didn't know the "Active" was coming I can see them feeling "cheated." I'd also question whether the standard SGS4 accessories will work with the Active which could be a downside for some people.
S4 is the main flagship of Samsung and it will stay that way until S5 comes out.
Sent from my GT-I9500
1) The screen will not be that bright than normal S4 and probably there will be no air view. Also, dropping will still not be a survival situation for it
2) the battery can't be removed and there is no evidence of sdcard slot yet
3) the top and bottom rubber will scratch and break in time and those 3 buttons are crap, they should use buttons like Back and menu on the original S4
However, that red is nice, but making the original S4 more solid and S4 Active like it's easy with a Spigen Slim Armor. There are ways to make the phone waterproof too.
A great feature is that if you want to make a tea or warm the bath water, you can play a 3D game and then submerge the phone in that water. It will warm the water (S-thermo?)
also, don't forget how many time you guys needed to take the battery out when flashed or just because the phone frozen. I'm curious how you guys will do it now lol
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I don't feel cheated. I probably would have waited and bought the Galaxy S4 Active, except that I was still using an original Droid X. So it really was well past time to upgrade. I guess the fact that it lasted this long without any such protection (or even a case) means I really shouldn't worry so much about dust or moisture.
Hopefully by the time I need my next phone, the "active" version will be waterproof to 5m or more. Now that would be something. I also don't care about dust; but I'd love to see a phone that can withstand sand without a screen protector.

Yeah, I'm sick of speculations too. However, most of phones which are water and dust resistant doesn't have bright screen as the S4. You can see the photos, the brightness is minimum I think, but the screen is too reflective because probably is thicker. But of course, let's just wait.

I'm not sure if this post is made in satire or not. I'm gonna go with satire, since EVERYTHING rumored about the next iPhones say they'll have a 4.7" and 5.5" screen. What that video fails to address is the fact that most people have two hands. And that even on my Galaxy Light (with a 4" screen, same as the iPhone 5), I prefer to use it two-handed rather than one-handed.
Steve Jobs is dead. He had his vision, and right or wrong, there's no denying his influence. But public opinion doesn't seem to agree with his vision, and that's why Androids with bigass screens are popular, and iPhones are getting Android sized. Small phones are great. Big phones are great. Let the customer decide, not some dead over-romanticized douchebag.
I don't think bigger is better,but 4.0 inch is too small for me.
And what is the sales point of upcoming iPhone?
Health care? Deeper integration to the OS X(Yosemite)? lol.

How can you say that. According to the ad it's common sense
I'm ok with the new Apple iPhone 6 to come out but my opinion is yes bigger is nice maybe even better but is it really what you want holding up to your face if you are not a headphone or blue tooth kind of person ? Also isn't bigger why we have Tablets / Epads for ? I think the new size of the iPhone 6 is as big as anyone should want to hold to their head but like OP (Planterz) says let the people choose what they want.
Just my 2 cents..
ios/iPhone ewwww. so ugly :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I have a Nexus 5 right now and it honestly feels small. My next device will have to be 6". I always wanted to give the iPhone a go someday, but man if they keep making dem tiny phones with crappy battery life that day will never come I suppose.
I think it will still be 4-inch, I still use an iPod Touch 4 with a 3.5 inch screen as my main portable device. A larger screen would make it even more expensive and harder to support by developers since they'll need to support many screen sizes.

yeah, apple said it's common sense. there is no way they can go against their own word.
I didn't see the video but it doesn't make sense to make the display bigger.
with the rumors goin around and the fact that they have increased their screen size before.....i think they will do it again.....

There's LOTS of evidence to show that 4.7" is a definite reality, but NONE to show that the (imaginary) 5.5" will come to pass.
Let me re-iterate that for those who are not so good at piecing together a general likelihood of something being a reality, due to there being NO LEAKS of ANYTHING 5.5", no part image no nothing...
There IS NOT going to be a 5.5" iPhone 6, not this year at least. Come back here and quote me when the 6 is released, and your hindsight will give you the 50/50 vision you will need to see how blindingly obvious that was, had you snapped out of your idealistic daydreams, and woken up to how to do a little (basic) detective work and generally use some common sense.
My old s3 already feels too tiny. And that's 4.8"....
I am never going below 5.7" again. I love the screen on the S5 but it's too bloody tiny. Reminds me of the old gameboys you needed a magnifying lens to use properly...

I'm perfectly comfortable holding 5.7" to my ear whilst calling, cheers. (and I'm a woman, so there goes the 'hands too small' argument.)
(5.7" and a bit, the otterbox commuter isnt the tiniest of cases)
