It's pretty sad to see some troll post on 4chan hit all the Android news sites like this. It's too easy to start a major news story...

Agreed.
Although it would be wicked-rad if Samsung brought back 5:4 screens.

I can't believe how fast CPU technology in cellphones is changing. Quad Core ? Insane.

That's just rumor's and 4chan isn't credible at all...

2GHz Quad-Core? No way.
And 4,65" Display? Too big, 4,3" should be the biggest display a smartphone should have.
That's why the Samsung Galaxy Note will be fail, it's just too big for a mobilephone and too small for a tablet.
And yes, it's just a stupid rumor, so nothing of these things will be in a phone the next time. Quad Core maybe 2012, but not this year.

Android's gonna eat up a whole apple again

quad-cores will be released as S3 end of 2012- 1st part of 2013

Even with a thread that has nothing to do with Apple, xda members still manage to bring up apple into the thread

Quad cores will be released this year for tablets. Smart phones will be early 2012.

It's truth it's not only rumors... Google it..

LOL!
i heard something about the Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE,but never something like "Samsung Galaxy S3"

Rumor has it that it will have a 3D screen.

the smartphone world is going to be 3d.

3D can suck it

oddly enough, eldar murtazin's tweet says the specs are real. Not sure what to make of it but he did describe a nexus like device way back when galaxy s2 was released and he's been pretty accurate on rumors including nokia/MS partnership

Quad Cores will not fly well with phone sizes batteries
on Tablets Quad Cores are do-able because they can get away with the weight and larger battery packs
but on a phone, it's wasted, as the battery will drain out in a matter of minutes
you wont get more than 4 hours of straight usage, on a phone
example when playing HD 3D games, that sucks the juice out of phones in no time

Sorry but you're wrong, I won't go less than a 5" screen ever again.

I think that the die shrink will help with the battery requirements. A 4core 28nm die SoC will have less energy requirements than the current 45nm SoC.

Nexus Prime

Anyone selling up to get the Nexus Prime? I think I will. Hopefully they've ironed out the little faults with the S2.

I am, if there is expandable memory, and and not the 5m camera but 8m. Love the teaser shots so far and really like the curve screen. I would have the nexus s right now if it had a bigger memory.

It would be nice and I am tempted but I don't think I could cope with vanilla android even if it is ics.

if it has
8m camera \ 2m
a gpu powerful than PowerVR SGX543MP2 (apple a5)
sdcard slot
I will change my galaxy s2

Here are the most accurate specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/possible_specs_of_the_nexus_prime_surface-news-3237.php

Update: A new batch of rumored specs have surfaced over on GSM Arena, and these seem to be more in line with what we'd expect of a new Nexus. According to an anonymous Google employee, that 4.65-inch Super AMOLED HD display mentioned above is just about the only spec to make the final cut. The processor, however, is more likely to be a dual-core 1.5GHz Exynos (that's right) with an accompanying dual-core PowerVR SGX543MP2 graphics chip. That rear facing camera? Try 8 megapixels with a newly beefed up sensor. The handset should also ship with a girthy 2,050mAh battery fully capable of juicing this apparent LTE / CDMA / GSM Android monster.

I think the Galaxy S III will be vaguely similar and get a release around February so I might just wait for that. Got a while to go until my contract finishes and perfectly happy with my SGS2 right now.

I'm considering it. Pretty happy with my Galaxy S but that Nexus sure is tempting, for one it looks so sexy.
If it has the rumoured tablet dock I'm definitely sold.

Galaxy s3

Anyone got any pictures or official specs

I think that nothing official has been released yet but I'm looking forward to this phone, got the SGS 1 myself

As previously stated I much doubt anything official is released; merely speculations. Bet there are countless blogs speculating, "leaking" or such where you can get your information.

I just hope they don't go over in screen size. 4.3 is perfect to me with a 720p resolution. After seeing a Gnex it looks crisp as hell probably the first screen that I've seen that looks better than an iPhone screen.

Nothing is official.....
Waiting for samsung's official poster!
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

720p resolution on a 4.3" screen would make everything ridiculously small. If the SGS III goes that route, I'll stick with my Galaxy S II.

Nice
Nice WOrk..................

yeah yeas i wait soon

cant wait for this phone i still got my sg1 and i love it and dont wanna upgrade to a sg2

One thing is sure..
The Galaxy SIII must match or exceed Sony Xperia S:
4.3-inch HD display
12 megapixel camera with Exmor R sensor
1.5 GHz dual-core processor
DLNA connectivity for content sharing
32 GB internal storage
PlayStation Certified
Probably the 1st Android phone
with 12 megapixel camera.
Search Google, 1st result:
Xperia S from Sony: Let Us Put You In The Picture
ff

and about screen? it become silicone?-

The galaxy s3 will probably come with a quadcore, if they want to beat the HTC endaevor... Maybe there will be a Galaxy S2 + /v.2

Nothing yet confirmed by Samsung.
Rumors say that it will have 4.6inch HD screen - Super AMOLED plus
12 megapixel camera
Dual or quad core processor
Could be released in similar or the same case as Galaxy S2 but buttons could be replaced with buttons on the screen just like Galaxy Nexus has.

if it has all those features it will be the best phone of 2012 by far. Can't wait!

I hope it's 4.3, becouase the Gneuxs is a bit too big for me one handed. (I like one handing phones ok)

will come soon
the galaxy s3 will come soon, just wait. hope it can bring us more surprise. hehe

Although nothing is known official

NICE ....................^_^

In Engadget people are presuming that the new model has surfaced somewhere surfing a web server, but it told that it would be a little lower resolution than Galaxy Nexus (<1280x720)
That's okay, it also gives me hope that it would be smaller than Galaxy Nexus which is slightly too massive. Presumed 1024x700 in a 4,3" screen would be very well balanced, I'd say and the body as small as possible..

I think it will be waterproof (ZAGG), 2GB ram and quad-core.

[Leaked] Samsung Galaxy S3 Specs

Hey Guys'n Gals today zedomax brings you some leaked Specs on the Samsung Galaxy S3
Text " Just heard from my Samsung insiders that the new Galaxy S3 is indeed coming this summer with a Exynos Quad-core 1.8Ghz processor, 8mm thin design (25-30% thinner than GS2), and wireless USB capabilities.
Display should be on 4.6 or 4.7 inches with higher than 720P HD resolution, possibly full 1080P HD "

Thanks for reading

If its true then its over the top
Max screen size should be around 4" and clock shouldn't be more than 1.6 :/
And 1080p on a phone? Why would you need to watch full HD on a 4.6-4.7" screen?

Ehh well

Your Probably Right but i'am sure they'll think up something that'll surprise us

And battery life of 2 hours ? No thanks.They should come up with new battery tech instead of 876787core phones.

Even my single-core (1ghz) SE WT19i has an only 5-7 hours battery life with intensive use.

There was some rumors for at least 2250mAh. I hope it's true....

I'd argue you don't even need 720p on that small of a screen. But that's not the point anymore. It's a spec battle now. Who can cram the best tech into the smallest device. That way they can brag about it in the commercial and sell more phones.

Exynos 5 series SOC also highly possible

HTC One X Tegra 3 and XL S4 Krait

Hello guys,
Well i need some advice from real people. There are two models in my country: international One X and One XL. You know what the differences are. So maybe someone tested both with same kernel and os version. Which processor is better? Tegra 3 or Snapdragon clocked Krait S4?
In your opinion which one to buy and why? Or just go for One S?
P.S. There are like 1 million reviews and benchmarks and like every single one is different.
Thank you for your opinion!

S4 for the battery.

S4 because its the future.
S4 for the LTE.
S4 for the battery life.
S4 for the win
Sent from my One X

I really do not need LTE. The main thing is speed! And about battery? It is really big difference? Or just go for Galaxy S3...? I just love HTC design, and galaxy is just near ugly, but speed is more important, just hate lag so much.

28nm ftw
Sent from my JellyBean

S4 processor is better. The tegra 3 was rushed so they could be the first to get a quad core. It's crappy architecture. The s4 is better for everything but gaming but only by a little and it kills battery on the tegra
Sent from my One X using xda premium

Speed difference is negligible. S4 wins in a lot of benchmarks, and Tegra wins in a couple. And you would likely not see much difference in real world use. Same performance, but better battery life on the S4.
Also, at launch the Tegra version had graphical glitches, and a number of other bugs that were attributed to the Tegra chipset. Not sure if these were ever sorted out, as I don't keep up with that version. But many were doubting it would be fixed anytime soon, as NVIDIA is notorious for taking forever to address such issues.
And you might think you don't need LTE. But its not just about speed. I get fantastic data reception at my house now under LTE, where under HSPA+ it was dismal (1 bar, with frequent connection drops). At some point, you may find your self in a location(s) that has poor HSPA reception, and LTE will save the day.

Every Tegra device I've put my hands on has always seemed far too slow and glitchy for the supposedly excellent hardware and software behind it. Except the Zune HD, but everyone ignored the Tegra 1 for some reason. S4's got better battery, chances are they are basically identical in real world use. The only downside to the S4 is the lack of official support for the Tegra games, but I'm sure we'll be able to play them in time.
To be honest, we might be able to do them now if Chainfire3d works for us.

I'd buy a Qualcomm based device over a Tegra based one any day of the week for all of the reasons already mentioned.
The S4 may be "only" dual core, but it's the better chip.

sweet, another thread for this
you should of done something original, like ask one x vs. galaxy s3

there are s4 with quad core. a chinese phone maker jiayu, is making the jiayu s1 with s4 pro. that is 4 cores with gpu andreno 320! and with 2 gb ram with 32 gb memory with sd card slot and 2500 mah battery or 3000 mah battery!, with a 3.0 megapixel cam in front and 13 megapixel in the bag, and is thin!. only for 260 or more dollars!. incredible no? (gorila glass maybe, like the other older models!) and the value is near the nexus 4, but this one is better, with more battery, (the jiayu g4 with an older procesor with quadcore wins the nexus 4, this will win the samsum galaxy note 2 or more) jiayu is good with good performance battery and resistant products. and very beautiful too
