Samsung officially confirm that the S3 will not be unveiled at MWC

Instead it will appear at a separate event that all they will say is to be held sometime in the first half of the year.

I'm a little disturbed by this enormous competition about having the most modern and high-tech cell-phone. galaxy s 2 was just presented last summer and the chivy never seems to end.
i mean, in fact, with a galaxy s 1 or an iphone3gs or 4, you're absolutely done in everyday life. what should we ask or want more?

definitly want more, i dont know why...
some people just feels great with the last cell-phone, sometimes without a look on cost vs the real benefits
i bought my S2 at the second day without take a look on price, but i wont do it again because cell phones are suffering high devaluation on short time. I prefer now wait a couple months before get another
(sorry my english)

hope it comes soon

I would think the most pressing thing to update from the S2 would be the screen's lowly resolution. Comparing it to something like a Galaxy Nexus or Note you can certainly notice the rather low DPI of the S2.

480x800 used to be called HD for the past 5+ years
just only this year when the Note and Galaxy Nexus made its debut they re-branded 1280x800 as the new HD or more like Super HD
so 480x800 is by no means "low" dpi / resolution, it has been the industry HD standard for the longest time

So what does that have to do with user experience which is what I was referring to?

If a couple of months takes samsung to finish their SoC with A15 cores and a latest power vr or Mali, then by all means go ahead.

Bring me that phone right now!!

I am picking up a S2 this weekend. I don't care of it is a few months old.
I would wait for an S3, but honestly I don't need half the stuff the S2 supports, lol!
Only reason I am upgrading is due to wanting a bigger screen, so I can please the wife in leaving the tablet at home more often, lol!

I agree with you here. If they throw in a lot of new stuff for the S3, not too sure if a normal batt capacity can withstand all the awesomeness.

To be fair, I hope samsung give us a big (good) surprise with the S3 and dont do something like apple did with the 4s. Tbh, I would still highly recommend the S2 since it has all the dev support out there now, and anyone interested in customizing it easily can whereas the S3 will probably take a good few months until devs get to grip with it.

Oh yeah

that would be nice to have.since i have Evo 3D not it would be a worthy upgrade

I would like a 2mm thick phone with a 5.7" screen, there is no speaker or earphone to be seen as it is located inside the phone. There are no buttons whatsoever on the phone...the screen is turned on by creating a circle on the screen or a user defined input, the power button exists on the top right of the screen, this is activated by holding finger/thumb there for 3 seconds as constant heat activates the power menu and switches phone on
The phone is ultra flexible and finished with a clear film of kevlar particles bound together created by fusion, the phone has 8 cores operating at 3.7GHz each, which are cooled by 3 mini fans each that are made of ultra light and strong material encased in ultra heat conductive super mini sinks that pull away heat at incredible proportions, the phone has 2 nano batteries that last upto 3 days at full use. The GPU is a super quick 6GB memory based device.
The screen has 3200 by 4800 pixels, with full 3D and HD, incorporating nano sized LEDS. It supports a 21Mega pixel camera. The internal memory has a slot that can be upgrades to 2 tera bytes. The phone has HDMI, charging point, ear jack, super mini tubular USB all in one port.
However...with all that, the phone lacks one thing and that is there is no bluetooth support.

A bit realistically: Nokia N9 with Android
Unrealistically:
Hexacore 2 GHz Exynox CPU
3 GB of RAM
A 4.3 inch SuperAMOLED+ with a QFHD resolution (3840 x 2160)
"Nexus" phone
10000 mAh battery
Galaxy SII thickness (maybe a bit thicker)

The thing that I would like to see most in a phone is a battery which can be recharged while using the phone. Not solar panels (sun is not always present), but a device that transforms finger pressure/heat into electical energy...

Totally agree

No Offence but do you guys actually understand what the phrase "Complete flight of fantasy" means??
"completely unrealistic" mean just that, the phones most of you guys are suggesting already almost exist !!!!!!
You guys need to dream a little more with the CRAZY brakes OFF!!!!!
Hold onto your expectations!!!!!!!
My FANTASY PHONE is a sub-dermal cranial mounted (It fits inside the skull in the bone, no one will lose this mofo ) device using quantum entanglement to transmit and receive data, the back bone of the system is a quantum processor arrayed neural net system. Using weird characteristic of quantum interaction to essentially form a network of CPUs each in an alternative universe all acting as one multicore CPU, theoretically delivering unlimited processing power on demand.
RAM and Storage ........ pick a 3 figure number and add terabyte to the end.
Ocular display via glasses or a dedicated 'data contact lens'.
Mandible mounted mic, full voice control input and output.
Cranial mounted bone conducting headphones (Cyber-homeboi still needz ta rock da bass innit )
Oh yeah and since we are talking bat**** fantasy with the crazy brakes TFO I would probably, have a fully sense VR system built into it, why game when you have free time when you could just explore an entire other universe.

Battery and call reception. What else could you really need out of a phone? ;p

Excellent battery and energy efficiency. Everything else is already pretty good in current phones.

Honestly for me it would be, if the phone is recent or not and if it lag or not! also the RAM and how much GB the phone have

A battery that lasts a weak, like in the old Nokia days. :highfive:

A phone like Moto G Google Play Edition, only with a better processor, largest RAM and huge battery. I think it can be considered as perfect…

ROM/Recovery/Root for Samsung Galaxy J1 4G J100mu needed.

Alrighty then..... I have quite literally been looking for a custom solution to my problem for over a year now. Got a used T-Mobile phone a couple years ago and was told it was unlocked when bought. Long story short it wasn't and so ended up with a paper weight that sat in a drawer for most of the time since. Over the last few months I've been messing about with it some and put various emulators, games (both old console games and Android), plus some small utilities that I can use for various activities. Now I am finding that the speed of the CPU/GPU and older Android ver. is making things difficult to get working and I also notice a great deal more lag and stuttering then I did when I first started using it. I've disabled and uninstalled what i can but what it really needs is a overclock and different OS. So I could really use a rooted version of Android 5.0 Lollipop or later and as little clutter beyond the base system. I don't actually use this as a phone, more like a mini tablet so even phone function is not high on my priority list, although other who find this would probably need that. I'm going to paste the actual phone specs here as thanks to Samsungs naming conventions for their models it can be quite difficult to find. Thank you for any help or direction in case I managed to miss any other place where this is available.
