I am up for a new phone with my provider.
So I am wondering should I get the S3 now or should I wait for the next phone from Samsung.
I read abotu rumors that the S4 might be pulled up to go on sale with the iPhone 5.
Though based on track recrod I doubt to see a S3 successor prior to July 2013 (if not later).
Currently I have a Samsung Infuse (AT&T) and I am quite happy with it.
What are your thoughts?
the chance of samsung releasing the S4 anytime before june/july of 2013, is about .00000000000000001%. The S3 is by far the best phone on the market right now, and its worth getting. You also have to release that in the phone world, there's always something rumored to be 'better' right around the corner, so you might as well get it now, because otherwise you'll be waiting forever.

Agreed I don't see it being released any sooner than 2013 and being that this is the best thing available I would pick it up while you can

Thanks,
that goes in line with my thoughts.
P.S.: Just relaized this was the Verizon version... Posted the same in AT&T as this is the right corner for me...
As a computer enthusiast, I'll tell you that you don't wait for tech unless it's maybe 1 month away at most. Get it now, it is mostly overkill for what 95% of people use it for anyways.
WTF? This phone just came out like 2 weeks ago. It will be a year before the SGSIV comes out.
If you're eligible for an upgrade now, and you like the SGSIII, then get it.
If you don't like the SGSIII, get something else. Don't just sit around and wait for a year for the next version of a phone you don't even like.
I'm really curious to hear from where this rumor came from. A dollar on that it starts with, "my friend told me..." or "my dad works at Nintendo and he said....".

GS3 is already one of the (if not THE) top selling smartphone of all time. Samsung would A) lose a lot in their marketing campaign on it along with all the sales that would have still been pulling from it being a new phone and B) piss off EVERY SINGLE PERSON who bought an S3 because now their phone is moot point (which as part A states, is a sh*t ton of people). Why is there even a poll on this? Should I buy an iphone 5 or an iphone 6? Lol.....
I'm also very curious as to where someone would try and post that the S4 is being released soon.......

Get the S3 or wait for the iphone "5" if that is your cup of tea.

He said the next Samsung phone rumored to be the S4. Im guessing he just added the S4 part himself assuming the next top Samsung phone will be that. The phone that Im guessing he heard about that will be released soon is the Note 2. Unless you want a 5.5in screen get the S3.
op, GET THE GS3!!! Its by far the best device that I have owned by leaps and bounds....main reason, it just plain works! Great signal, battery life, gps, speaker,camera, a plethora of ram, beautiful screen, and smooth as a babies arse!!
Wait for the iPhone 5. If it truly is better than the galaxy s3-which I highly doubt-then get it. If not, get the s3.

I say wait for the Note 2. That's realistic because it's likely to come out within couple months. Even though I have a S3, I think I'm gonna give that to my husband and nab the Note2! ^_____^

Get the s3 now, best phone on the market
naw man wait for the S5 since you are going to wait for the S4 anyway
srly just get the S3 unless you want to wait another year (assuming there are no delays...) to get a new phone
You're going to be waiting a long time for an S4...
S4 appear take a very long time, how it functions, to be used only after know,I still very confident of Samsung mobile phones.
Eh, the S7 will be out before you know it, so I'd just wait it out.
I would wait to c what apple n Motorola drop in next month or so,then do a trial run with the top phones n c what fits u the best n go with that.

Well becuase he used the word iphone, I would say he should wait for apple as well. Now Motorola to me is trash, because the OTA 100% stock GB to ICS update killed flash player.( And they would not fix it)
I had more issue's with them/my Razr, but any way's. I think he should get a S3 unless he likes apple/want's smaller screen or what ever.

I think the Samsung Galaxy S2 looks to be an incredible smartphone, when they first released the international version back in April, it was hands down the #1 top dog best device on the market. But now 5 months later the U.S. is finally getting it, but is it too late ? I hate to pick it up, and not even a month later is outdated, significantly by both the iPhone5 and Nexus-Prime. I am on Sprint and looking for a new phone to replace my Nexus-S 4G I am bored with, and has major radio/network issues.
Very soon two Super phones are about to be released, the iPhone5, and Nexus-Prime. I know most here hate the iPhone, but if the i5 comes out with a 4" or larger screen, thinner with better battery life, and the option to have Widgets on the home screen, i will be very tempted to pick one up. And then there is the phone from the 22nd century the Nexus-Prime, supposedly the most feature packed and newest next gen hardware ever seen on a smartphone.
I know you can always play the waiting game, and just wait forever for the next best thing, and then never have anything at all. But both the iPhone5 and Nexus-Prime are due out in October or so. Or will the U.S. Galaxy S2 easily be on par and close to these other two new devices ?
Bottom line question, why get the Galaxy S2 now over the iPhone5 or Nexus-Prime later ?
For me, I can't wait. I need a phone now. I guess it depends on your situation really... if you can wait until it releases (October?) then it seems like a no brainer to wait until then. But, I think I'll pretty happy with the S2 as long as IC Sand gets on the S2 sooner or later through official or non-official channels.
Well if you think like that, would you get iphone 5 when it comes out because there will be a even more super phone, maybe galaxy s3, coming out in a few more months?
Wait for the Nexus

I think the principle of a winning formula is having the tools/equipment that suits you best. That might actually not be the same as having the tool/equipment that is seen as the best by some group of people (e.g. Android powerusers)
Get the phone that suits you best instead of worrying about having "the best" phone by the standard of a group of reviewers.
If you have a decent android phone today, then wait for release of Nexus Prime before making the decision.

If there's a confirmed release date (which I'm not sure about) and it's less than a month, then I see no reason. A couple of months.... really depends on how bad the current phone is. If there's nothing wrong with it, sure I would be content to wait until the far superior phone comes along. I'm certainly not advocating waiting 6 months or longer...
I think the best choice is to get the galaxy S2 and wait a few months until custom ROMs for the nexus prime be available. Also if you wait you probably get a discount for you new phone.
.... Apple don't complain and go to legal actions about patents, glass and metal case etc., after first have released Iphone 5 before the SII hits the market.

It's anyone's guess at this stage what the next Samsung Galaxy smartphone is going to be like, lots of rumors doing the rounds personally im happy to wait until next year with the GS2 which is still the best in the business.
[The rumored specs of the GS3 though do sound amazing]
Awesome specs but I wish they provide better software support to existing sgs n sgs 2 my sgs 2 is still on 2.3.3 waiting for updtes to arive in india n I dont wana flash as its already working awesome at least til warrenty lasts

For my part I hope Samsung do more both hardware, and software, testing before launching the SIII.
On Tuesday I'm going to send my S2 and Tab 10.1 back for repair.
The S2 have random locs/reboots and somewhat loose homebutton.
The TAB has watermarks/newton-rings.
Maybe I have been unlucky with my first Samsung devices but I have never had devices, 30-40 phones and pc's over the years, with faults like this after only 2 months use.

You're claiming to have an iphone 5?
4.3" is big enough, add a case and you're carrying a novel in your pocket, 4.7" will be like carrying a box of cereal in your pocket. That said, if it's light, and slim, it might not be so bad.

Edit: ontopic
I think 4core phones will be when the smart phone market nears it's highest point. The S3 may start to get Iphone like sales as well if it get's to the states faster than the S2.

I did not bring it up like I want to be cool or anything. I have had alot of thing's before anyone else:
Halo: ODST
Cr-48
A game I can't name at this time( They will come to get me if name it.)
And now the Iphone ok.
P.S Ok so not a lot, but you get the point. The Cr-48 was the coolest to me and I have not had the phone for long they are just geting them in. I did not think every one would be so mad, but the ICS thread should have spelled it out for me.
Now about the Iphone part, I was just saying I am unlikey going to buy the S3, but it should be cool and I can't wait to see it.
Edit: You will all see the truth on 09/4/11.
I was going to get this phone when it launched but gave up due to the locked bootloader issue. Now that is resolved and there are JB rom's out as well.
But now the next Nexus is probably only 2 months away and will likely ship with Key Lime Pie. Would you get this phone today, or wait?
If you're fine with your Nexus wait for the next one Imo

Only for Android
Nexus devices and manufacturer devices are 2 different monsters. To ask if the SGS3 is still worth getting it really the wrong question to ask. It is the best phone out right now so how would it not be worth getting?
If the latest software is your thing which I thought was mine until I owned the GNEX and realized how many problems that phone had, then maybe wait to see what the next Nexus device has to offer. Even then, the S3 will still be one of the top dogs for Android I am sure.
The S3 is an amazing device and I am happy I made the switch to it. S3 with ICS is better then my GNEX was with JB. Even with the great software it had on it it did not fix the terrible camera, horrible screen, bad radio's and horrific battery life.

I'd go for the SGIII, feature wise and development wise it's going to be one of the best phones for a while IMO.

If I were you I would wait for the next Nexus phone, since you know the development is gonna be huge. I really wanted to wait for the next Nexus, but I lost patience and got the S3. Having said that the S3 is a beast of a phone, I love it. But again if you can wait then the best bet would be to get the next Nexus.
I think ur safe either way, the Nexus always has great development but I had a terrible experience with the Galaxy Nexus, so I can't see going to another Nexus device. Even when it comes out I can't see it being any better than the S3, I picture it basically being the S3 with aosp android
Look at it like this, the Galaxy Nexus was still made by Samsung, as you seen from the lastest Nexus they weren't willing to give up the best features like camera and processers. I'm sure they are not going to give google the best features making the s3 obsolete. When the Nexus came out the s2 was still just as good if not better to be honest.
The software was the big difference between the Nexus and S2. Once the S3 gets Jelly Bean... Oh damn
10 million and counting
With the number of GS3's sold and the popularity of the ROM's (judged by post activity, download activity, etc) I would say that development for the GS3 will continue for some time. The hardware is certainly there to support it. With the unlocked bootloader there is nothing stopping the development from improving for at least the rest of this year if not into 2013. You will be happy with this phone or I'll eat my hat.
Yeah unless you are really after AOSP I would get the S3. It's a great phone and I highly doubt the next Nexus will have much better, if better at all, specs. The nexus phones don't tend to be next gen spec wise just newest software and pure AOSP builds.
The S3 is the best phone on VZW, has Verizon officially confirmed it will be carrying the next Nexus?
Google just released JB and only 1 phone has it officially and you're saying they're going to ship a phone in 2 months with KLP on it? Where do people get this stuff? Jesus.
I'm usually the type thats the first to get something new and as soon as the s4 was available for preorder for verizon i placed an order. But after reading some reviews and with the potential of other phones coming out this summer I was second guessing myself. The real deciding factor was when I flashed MOAR's rom on my S3 that added some of the s4 features. After a day with the rom I cancelled my order to wait and see what other phones are going to come out. I'm a bit dissapointed that the S4 isn't head over heels different than the S3 to make it a no brainer for me. Anyone else in the same boat?
I'm not in the same boat, but I was reading a post in the s4 sections about how most people are only getting about 6 hours on a charge...max. Also, that the phone is real laggy even after most of the features have been shut off.

I read some of the same thing and with the nexus 4 rumored to be coming to verizon as with the HTC One, I figured it can't hurt to wait it out and see the best option out there this summer. I wouldn't be worried about the lagging though as I'm sure Samsung will have an update to fix that or worst case someone will come up with a bloat free rom that should have the phone screaming fast.
Ill wait for the galaxy note 3.... Im sure samsung will have it in a premium build

only issue with what i'm reading about the X is that its going to be sold as a lower/mid end phone and not premium.
The rumors about X-phone not being high end were debunked. I'm also waiting to see that, Note 3 and next Nexus. Also in a few months we'll have phones on S800 as well as Intel SoC's.

Its a brand new toy. Of course its only going to last 6 hours if you don't put it down for more than 5 minutes in that amount of time. The important part is how much screen on time and mobile data connected time they got in that 6 hours.
I too have been reading some reviews and may stick with my s3 until something else is released. Maybe the Motorola X?
Another year for Phone another year of questions
Well just like last year, I told everyone that the international version of the S3 would be the quad core and the US variant of the S3 will have a dual core.
Looks like we are facing the same dilemma, the S4 intl has an octa core and the us S4 has a quad core.....
The fact that you are comparing the S4 to Moar rom on the S3 is sad.
First you don't have 4.2.2 to utilize all the nifty stuff.
Second you don't have any of the new sensors of the S4.
and lastly, the NOTE 3 will follow the same footsteps, expect the S4 hardware with some software and rom tweaks.
I personally wanted the Note 2 but got the S3 for size.
I will not make that mistake with the Note 3!
How many of you won't buy this phone again for the terrible radio. I don't know how its not a bigger issue for most of you. Everyone with a different phone on Verizon gets much better service, especially Motorola phones.
www.ryanhortonmusic.com
Also expect the note 3 to be locked down tighter than your wife after you told her she was fat...
You mfrs rewarding Samsung and Verizon, still continuing to pay them for the phone and the service while they lock us all down tighter deserve to have your android hacker card revoked.
As a community we should be rewarding those who offer openness and shunning those who close it down.
Keep paying them for closed devices and they're gonna think they're doing the right thing.
We didn't buy moto and now look at them. We didn't buy HTC, now look at them.
Speak with your wallet. Don't buy a locked device.

Yes there are more sensors, its quicker, better camera, etc... but nothing that really is something that would wow me to have to pick it up. As some people stated this is more a S3S than an S4. if the nexus 4, google x, or htc one does come out for verizon it would honestly make me consider jumping to another brand. No knock on samsung but since the s3 they made everyone else up their game.
As it seems to be at least for me, hardware advancement starting to peak. Everything now is pretty much software progression...for now.
I have the S4 on Sprint and will be coming back to get it on Verizon on the 30th. The phone is sick. I am getting at least 24 hours on a charge with over 4 hours screen on time on the stock ROM rooted. I haven't tweaked anything. Whoever said they are getting 6 hours must have been talking about screen time. Lag? What lag? I have seen none. The GPS is scary accurate: instant 10 ft and knowing exactly how fast I am driving. There are so many advancements on this phone compared to my S3 that I can't wait for community development to move on it. If I can get over 24 hours on stock, it'll probably be 3 days with something like CleanROM or Carbon.
GS3
GS3 for the win!!
Yeah I agree that phones are starting to hit a critical mass level. I was going to keep my s3 and just update the software but my wife has an upgrade so I'm gonna use her upgrade to get the s4 and give her my s3.....unless the HTC one or lg nexus 4 is released before it ships at the end of the month.

PrDog, you should get a commish from Jtag for pimpin their name, cause they just made $60 big ones from me. That said, I'm torn... I have owned the Galaxy Note 2 for less than 24 hours and already love it WAAAY more than the GS3 (which is still a king in my book).
They are pretty darn positive (their words) that they can fix my shiz. I'm hoping to either get the gs3 back and sell it along with my badass tablet (asus transformer infinity) to pay for the GN2. I'm not gonna lie, I LOVE THE GN2!!!!
My other option is to get the GS3 back and since I'll be available for upgrade in August, wait for the GN3... Just wanted to hear some thoughts...What would some of you do???

Well Josh is actually one of us and volunteered his services for the S3 unlock testing when first released.
I would hold off and wait. The gn3 will be like the n2 but more of a beast. Also there will be an htc mega one and whatever moto decides to release.
Im holding off until the fall and see what new devices will be launching for the holiday.

Still not rooting though PRdog... lol
I currently have the s2. Almost picked up a N2 the other day for a decent price but the guy backed out on me. I'm guessing someone made him a better offer. I'm also available for an upgrade in August and will wait for the next great thing. Thats if i decide to stay with verizon. I might go back to sprint. I don't think verizon coverage is any better in my area and it was nice not having to worry about how much data I used.
