Hi, all,
For all of us who own a Samsung Galaxy SII now, the joy is wearing out since Samsung is coming up with... Galaxy SIII.
Motorola is launching this month, on January 26, the Razr Maxx - an awesome phone due to its HUGE battery power. One month later, Samsung would launch the Galaxy SIII. Below is a list of their specs (taken from the Internet so, I cannot promise is accurate):
Samsung Galaxy S3 vs Motorola Droid RAZR Maxx: How do They Stack up?
Motorola released its latest Smartphone, Droid RAZR Maxx, for Verizon Wireless at the recently concluded Consumer Electronics Show 2012 in Las Vegas and is rumored to be made available to customers by Jan. 26.
Droid RAZR Maxx is almost similar in specifications to the Droid RAZR and is designed for customers who spend their days and nights multi-tasking. The Motorola device had a Li-Ion 3300 mAh that should provide up to 21 hours of talk time and 368 hours of standby time.
The 4.3-inch smartphone would run on the Android 2.3.5 or Gingerbread OS and would be powered by a dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex A9 processor with 1GB of RAM. The phone sports an 8 megapixel, 3264x2448 pixels unit autofocus, LED flash rear camera with 1080p video capture capabilities. The phone also has a 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera for video chatting and is expected to be available at Verizon for $299.99 on a two-year contract.
On the other hand, latest speculation suggests that Samsung would extend their flagship version of Galaxy S2 to Galaxy S3 and is expected to be launched during Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, Feb. 28.
Here is a comparison between Samsung Galaxy S3 and Motorola's Droid Razr Maxx.

Droid RAZR Maxx has a whopping 3,300 mAh battery that is expected to give up to 21.5 hours of talk time and 380 hours standby time.
Galaxy S3 is expected to feature a 2250mAh battery
Other Features:
Galaxy S3 is expected to offer Near Field Communications (NFC) functionality as an option. It is also anticipated to feature the revolutionary wireless charging technology, which would help the device to not only charge the battery without the use of cables or plugs but also share, sync or back-up data at the same time.
2 ghz QUAD core processor with 2gb ram? Not a chance.
This is like the iPhone 5 rumours right before the 4S was announced lol no one knows anything until it's actually announced
I personally don't like people speculating and making rumors about phones and get everyone excited. My guess would be that 1/4 of this will be accurate. This would make it a better surprise if it is true =0
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
This is totally different than the RAZR thing. Galaxy SII was announced almost a year ago but didn't arrive in the states until October. I assume the s3 won't be in the states until fall. Big difference
All these manufacturers need to stop coming out with new phones every ten minutes. Support and update the ones that they have would make more sense.

we wont see a quad core until 2013 or very late 2012, sgs3 will have a 2.0 dual core or some jizz like that.. remember my word
yeah. sry to burst bubbles but gs3 will only have a dual core but something like 2.0 or 2.2ghz. quadcores are about a year away. doesn't hurt to dream though.

Here is a random guess. Samsung announces SGS3 in March. It is released "world wide" in May or June... the US sees the first official release in about October.... I would be willing to consider buying a new phone then.

Umm, I disagree. They need to support their products better, yes, but I for one don't want to see HTC put out a phone that smokes my SGS2 just so I can get ICS and then Jelly bean while they go to quad core and get better battery life or something... Maybe unifying the devices (SGS2 for all, not skyrockets/hercules/epic touch/etc), but not just not coming out with products sporting the newest advances...

First of all, it is a rumor, none of us know for sure what the hw. spec. of the SGS3 will be, even the OS is bouncing between ICS and Tizen/Bada. No one knows.
From rumor to official announcement is a long time.
From announcement to release to customers hands is a very long time.
From release day to the fully support custom ROMs (if any) is a very very long time.
By that time, my contract should be expired and I will get a new one, maybe waiting a little more for SGS4 or SGS5
Conclusion, SGS2 owners have absolutely nothing to worry about.
It better have a god damn good DAC Else im Skiping SG III Like the SGII and Sticking with SGS
If its screen is over 4" I won't consider it. Maybe 4.3" if everything else is perfect. Must be 300ppi either way. No pen tile either.
RAM, Processor, and so forth are really immaterial.

i just want a samsung galaxy phone on verizon network with LTE, dual core, any phone i should keep my eyes on? but for now ill enjoy my charge.
Keep an eye on the Google Nexus Prime; rumored to have ICS preinstalled, no overlay(TouchWiz, Motoblur etc. None of that crap), 720p Super Amoled HD display(720x1280), dual core TI OMAP4460 processor overclocked at 1.5ghz, 1 gig of ram, LTE and not to mention the fact that it's a Google branded phone so it will receive OS updates first. The only downside is this phone is rumored to only have a 5MP camera.

I wouldn't hold out hope for it to be released anytime soon on verizon. GS2 looks really nice and will probably launch next month and it will probably have lte. Leaked roadmaps show a possible release for a fitting samsung phone the same day the bionic is supposed to drop. Htc vigor looks VERY interesting as well: 1.5ghz dual core, 720p display and all that good stuff.

i am holding out for the Vigor, that thing looks freaking amazing. If it comes out with the specs that its rumored to have, it will be the most powerful handset on the planet, literally.
I am an HTC and Sense fan at heart, but moved to the charge because I was not impressed with the TB

Seriously I love the whole look of Sense but everything on Sense is emulated through apps(aside from the core features like the way you scroll through home pages and stuff) but the keyboard/clock/weather/wallpapers/lockscreen can all be ran on the Charge without the need of a theme. Of course, the theme is much better but it requires Gummycharged and I'm an Eclipse guy currently.
i9000 is currently more than 1 year old, and some may currently be considering their next upgrade/purchase, which model you consider to be the next leading Galaxy phone?
I just bought my Galaxy S, its 1 month old, ill stick with it for another year or so and then upgrade to galaxy s II
Ill stick to my sgs a year more, maybe 1 and a half so maybe galaxy s 3 or 4 or maybe note 2 .

im just gonna wait for s3 now. im on an 18month contract so sorta tied to sgs until next march anyway might as well hold out until s3 is out there then get on at the bleeding edge
I am curious to see what the the HD screen will look like. It will probably be pentile again, will the resolution be high enough to please my eye? Maybe.
Probably won't buy an S2 though, hoping for a beefier GPU in the S3.
Seeing as the SGS2 GPU is not really out-classing the SGS, I wonder how it will cope with the HD resolution. I'm thinking a higher tier of performance (like the huge future gains nvidia is bragging about, or even something like the SGX543MP2 in the ipad2) will be welcome with newer titles at HD resolution.
I'm torn between the Galaxy Note (1.4Ghz) and SII LTE HD (1.5Ghz).
Both with great screen HD resolution, huge sizes, new exynos processor with better battery life, upgraded GPU and other small changes.
SIII is rumoured to have similar specs, maybe a better screen, so don't know if it's actually worth waiting.

'Similar', I think a more heavier word like ' better ' would have fitted into the line, sgs3 is rumoured to have a 2.0 quad core(4 cores) processor and 1.5gb ram( rumoured by many big tech news sites like engadget.com,thisismynext.com,phonearena.com,gsmarena.com),also a 10mp camera is rumoured at back, and a 5mp ffcamera is rumoured ( just read that in 1 article so the news is not so strong and dependable).
And I don't think 'bigger screen size' means bigger phones, if you compare sgs2 international version and sgs2 hd (korean) version then the latter one has a way bigger screen but if you see the lower button pannel, you will notice the buttons have been made smaller and wider so that the device is still not that big and is still just a notch bigger than original sgs2's 'body size'. ;-)

Hm I remember it not being very impressive in the early benchmarks, barely beating the SGS and losing to tegra2. They did say it could be early drivers though. I'd love to see recent comparisons but nobody seems to be doing them.

Look on Anandtech. The Mali 400 is almost as good as the SGX540, the Tegra2 and the Adreno 220.... combined!
LTE will likely be the catalyst to get a new phone. Aside from the fact that the technology is quicker, there will be less people using it.
And you can't go past a phone with 720p!

Why would you want the next best? Get the Galaxy Nexus.
If you're just about saving a few quid, and assuming you specifically want an Android handset pick up the galaxy s2... spec and performance is not far short overall, in some ways it's better.
HTC range? Seems to havegood support here.
Samsung Galaxy SII
In terms of specs/potential it is Note..in terms of specs/xda support it is GNexus.
REZOUND!
HTC Rezound is my pick.
Dual Core Qualcom MSM8660 with 1.5 GHz, 1GB of RAM and the best thing about the phone - 720P 4.3 Inch Display!!! better pixel density than even the retina.
i think Mi-One is the best choice atm but he's pretty hard to find...

My friend got one recently and I checked it out. SGS II is really good. It is definitely well equipped to handle ICS if you are interested in flashing CM 9, when the good folks come out with it.
I haven't 100% decided which phone I'm going to get yet either (between Nexus Prime, Razr, and Resound), though I'm leaning towards the Nexus Prime just because I know it will be the most open. I'm more than likely going to want Cyanogen on whatever I get. The Razr, though water and bullet proof, will probably be the most locked down out of the three :/

I'm having a tough time picking between the new RAZR and the SGS II. I guess I'll have to go play with them both again.
GNexus for sure.
I would go for the Galaxy Nexus for sure. It may not have the most ram or the highest MP camera, but it is a high quality build and scores very well in benchmarks.
We'll have to see when the S2 gets a good working ROM though as ICS is fully optimized for dual cores with hardware acceleration.

No, the best phone out there would be right now the galaxy s2, this is why:
-Exynos 1.2 gHz processor: much better than qualcomm no matter what (surpassed maybe by the S4 or the Tegra 3 but not yet released)
-Better 8 mp camera: The sensors used by this camera are excellent (maybe only surpassed by the iPhone 4S sensors).
-Mali 400 GPU: One of the best gpu existing today in the market only found in a couple of phones (again maybe only surpassed by the nonreleased chip of the MWC)
-Super Lightweight: One of the lightest phone that some may say it feels cheap but dont
-Super Thin: One of the thinnest phone today only surpassed by the RAZR and other unknown phones.
-Super Amoled Plus screen: Wonderful screen with surprising colors that amaze everyone and with its plus technology it makes a more resolution effect although its only 800x480
this would be some of the reasons of why to choose it
here are my two cents hope it helps, thank if i helped

I have to agree here. While I do agree the SII is better (yeah I'm a GNex owner and my butt is a bit hurt from it) I don't see the margin of difference terribly large. The GNex is still an outstanding phone.
how much is "soon"?
If I was in your shoes, I would prob wait for Samsung galaxy S3.
I agree the international version of S2 is the best, the galaxy nexus does have a excellent screen, one of the best noise cancellation to be found on a phone. Top 3 android phones until Tegra 3 hits is Galaxy S2, Galaxy Nexus, Droid Razr Maxx.
Wait for GalaxyS3
I have a galaxy s and its amazing. I cant wait for the galaxy 3
Sony Xperia S, it's got a 12mp camera. The best in Android
This is 3vo CDMA (sprint) not GSM (tmo, att, or a carrier that gives a sim card)
EVO 3D. Even though 3D code is only for sense 3.0, the 3vo has quite possibly the best selection of rooms I have ever seen. So far we have:
1. AOSP
2. CM7
3. Sense 3.0
4. Sense 3.5
5. Sense 3.6 (work in progress, or wip)
6. Sense 4.0 (wip)
7. Evo view 4g sense (tablet rom on 3vo)
8. ICS 4.0.3 (only issue is camera)
9. CM9 (same as ics)
And maybe more.!
Not to mention our various tweaks, amazing quadrant scores, dual core processor, 1.5 gHz STABLE over clock with good battery life still (we can go up to 1.8 but its unstable and can pretty much destroy your phone), dedicated developers, qHD screen, and soooooo much more. You should check us out
Plus, with the recent hboot downgrade ability, our phone is now "unofficially unbrickable" which means I can do ANYTHING to it and I can restore it. This phone, even with a select number of issues, is by far the strongest competitor in specs, deving, performance, etc.

I feel it is the galaxy note international version (the non snapdragon version) with its 1.4ghz cpu. Granted the new gen of SoC tech will be better than this but as far as current day is concerned I feel galaxy note is the best. Granted some people hate the huge screen and I understand that but the big hi res screen is just too great to me.

Just a couple points. The galaxy nexus doesn't use a Qualcomm processor. It uses a TI OMAP. If the Exynos is better, it isn't by much.
The GPU is a PowerVR which is probably weaker than the Mali but still decent. It runs Grand Theft Auto III really well, which is the most demanding thing I'd ever do on a phone GPU wise.
The screen on the Nexus is also AMOLED but full 720p (1280×720) instead of the 800X480 on the S2. It is pentile but the resoultion is so much higher it more than makes up for it. This is clearly a winner for the Nexus IMO.
Also the real pros in buying a Nexus:
Faster official updates and completely stock ICS (no touchwiz, sense, motoblur, etc)
Xperia nominated?

Sony may not have the most cutting edge tech in their phones, but I know they are polished quite well. It was Sony Xperia S coming with GB, not ICS that held it back in my mind. Any ways it will update eventually. Please check out my thread, its a discussion of a similar manner.

Is there really any competition with these phones or does one blow away the other hands down?

Well since we have no idea what the official specs of the SGS3 are we can't really say. All we have is rumors, but some of the thing we can be fairly certain about are the exynos quad processor, a 720p screen, an 8-10MP camera,and a screen size ranging from 4.5-4.8". The main difference will be the processor and the screen size. If you want a hybrid phone/tablet the note will be best, if you are looking for pure performance then the S3 will give you the best results. You can't say one will blow the other one out of the water without solid spec sheets and an idea of what you want in the phone.
I am excited for Thursday. I hope that we don't only hear about the SGS3, but maybe some intel on when the TMobile version of the Note will be released.
I am going for the Note. Buying an international version is not an option for me financially, so it rules out these quad-core processors, which are probably not needed right now anyway.
I am still using a TMobile G2, and it does everything I need it to do. It only has 1 core I am sure at like 800 mhz, though I am overclocking it right now due to the fact that it makes it easier to run. Either way, that processor can't be as nice a the Galaxy Note's dual-core 1.5 ghz processor.
Quad cores are just being used in desktop computers really, so it's no surprise that you shouldn't really NEED it for a phone. I don't know the official technicalities to backup my statement, but it seems common sense.
I will look forward to having the GNote specific applications, S pen, and screen real estate. Can't wait!
S3. Only reason to get Note over GS2 is screen/pen. Not worth it imo.

Not a fair competition at all. S3 should be compared to phones of the same calibre, like the HTC One X.
im sure someone will do a competition of these two phones. Even whitout the S3 full specs we all know who will win.
Quadcore is more than necessary for me
One phone!
HTC Evo Lte dual core s4 which is really fast.. It beats tegra 3 in some tests.

i think the SG S3 will be the same as the Note ( pen included ) but with a 4.6 screen
Each have their pluses and minuses. The GS3 will have the latest and greatest hardware and ICS out if the box, but the Note will have the bigger screen and S-Pen.
But seriously you're considering a phone already 6 months old vs a phone that will just be announced tomorrow. I love my Note and it has worked flawlessly for me, but I know after tomorrow it won't be the best hardware wise compared to the GS3. But that doesn't mean the Note is a slouch at all. The good thing though is I have my work phone with Sprint and my upgrade is June 30, so I may pick up the GS3, so best of both worlds!

The S3 will most likely have a 4.8 screen
..Can't wait for SIII
IiI can relate to the question I have a gsii and I really lobe the note. I will wait to deer what the new galaxy offers this weekend. I live near the brand new Samsung shop in Westfield next to the Olympic site and they reckon that the should have demo models this Saturday following the event tonight.
I only wish there were a gnote2 being announced. I love the idea of stylus
and big screen.
I have high expectations for GS3. Let's see what they have to offer for us today.
Anyway, I like my GS2 better than Galaxy Note already, so it seams clear to me that GS3 will also be better.
hummm, i like Galaxy S III better.
How do you like HUA WEI Ascend P1
BTW, I'm still waiting for media pad 10 fhd of HUA WEI
There will be quite a big difference according to the specs!
Well we will see at 7pm today
The SGS3 will be more popular than the Note, because the SGS3 is the direct concurrention of the HTC One X, iPhone etcetera.
If a phone gets really popular, you get extra things from the producer, like firmware upgrades etcetera.
Pick SGS3 after 7pm.
PS it is being expected the SGS3 will arive at the stores in approx 7 days
hahaha note vs a quadcore baby doesnt stand a chance find out today at 7:00pm GMT London time
according to leaked specs the s3 will have a 12mp camera a 4412 quadcore processor clocked at 1.5ghz
a mali 400(same as in the s2 just clocked much higher)
a 4.8 inch 720p HD regular RGB matrix not pentile
wireless charging (big maybe wuold be cool but unlikely)
2mp front cam
touchwiz bullcrap on android 4.0.4
a ceramic back
