Samsung Galaxy SIII S3 & Nexus Prime rumours and specs

Rumours about Galaxy SIII are popping out. If SIII will have all the specs in this article, it's gonna be a blast. Guess we shouldn't worry about our SII getting old yet, cause it will probably take at least one year for SIII to be launched. Here's the article:
http://androidandme.com/2011/09/news/anonymous-4chan-user-lets-not-forget-the-samsung-galaxy-s-iii/

All I can say is WOW!!! That thing will be such a BEAST!!! I cannot WAIT till 2012 now!!! I will have to get the Galaxy NOTE to accompany my SII for now and when the SIII arrives I will definitely snatch it up!!!
BEAT THAT APPLE!!! LOL!!!

LOL... No... I said I wanna know what the SGSIII will be like, not what an the "ANDROIDIFIED" iClone will be like... AHHHHH HA HA HAAAAA...

Hexacore
Hopefully by next year we'll get to see at least something that really makes use of dual-core. We're speaking about "OMG quad-core I NEED it" but still decent single cores run mostly any current app/game properly...
Got an SGS2 and still running the same stuff I used to run in my SGS1...hopefully I won't be running the same old stuff on a quad, penta or hexa core.

samsung hardware always ahead of apple.

I hope one good outcome of all these Apple lawsuits is that Samsung could finally stop designing phones that closely resemble iPhones (Internaional versions of GS1 and GS2 with the big HOME button in the middle) or iPad (GTab 10.1). Making some truely unique looking phones, Samsung.

2.0 ghz quadcore? wow! it'll eat the batt again!
again, batt life will be a major problem, even with the alleged 2250 mah batt

I just heard a rumor that Galaxy S4 will have 4.95 in HD screen with 1680x1050 resolution, Tegra 4 with 8 cores and laser pen with refillable ink that can be used to write on paper or as a stylus on the phone. It also comes with an extended battery that can fit into your other pocket and charges wirelessly to SGS4.

I beg to differ: the majority of the time the phone will be in deep sleep or at minimal (200? Mhz) with minimal voltage.
And according to those rumours, it gonna be 28nm fabrication process (that means lower power consumption).

SGS2 is already enought powerful

All I want to see from the next galaxy s phone is the strength to take a fall without doing any considerable damage, something that is different in design to other phones and to have excellent battery life thanks to efficient power management and frequent updates in the Android OS.

no such thing as "enought powerful"
anyways, the source is 4chan. hardly the most reliable.

The only thing I am interested in are the UMTS band frequencies supported by next devices. I am tired of seeing tri- or quad-band android phones that are not necessarily compatible with every major countries. This means that you have then to wait for a specific version for your country, you are oftentimes stuck with carrier-specific phones, etc.).
And I am not talking about compatibility with new networks (LTE, 4G europe, etc.)...

Take the current generation of phones specs double them, release as rumor about new phone, repeat

Sgs3? Lol, The IPhone 5 is already playing catch-up with the sgs2.
IPhone 6 will be the phone chasing the sgs3, again behind for 6 months.

Everyone needs to stop developing phones and start some R&D into a new battery technology which will be able to cope with all their dreams.

The next nexus device? or devices lol

I am able to upgrade in september, and was wondering if i should get galaxy s3, or wait for the next nexus or nexuses, because i heard they have better development support. Is it worth it to wait, or is there enough support on s3, being so popular. Also, how long would i have to wait for the next nexus

Nexuses have great support, but if you need a phone now go ahead, the s2 is getting jellybean.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nexus devices get updates directly which is fantastic, there is no waiting involved for manufacturers to add all the bloatware. I have an S3 and know that Samsung will be quite dellayed on any jelly bean update, so I have just accepted that any jellybean I get will be a custom rom but I'm okay with that. Personally my next phone would be a nexus, but I have enjoyed my S2 and currently love my S3

Can you add one more phone on that poll?
The LG Optimus ME v2 Nexus Edition (so much for long Android phone names)
1.6 GHz processor
Android 4.1 Jellybean
3GB RAM
16, 32, 64 GB Storage

they really are, ive been burned thrice times..sadly ..only reason i tested the nexus is because i knew google was supporting it...if you dont care about the mediocre features of the s3 or dont care for touchwiz i suggest you wait for the next nexus..if you care about them then get the s3..but im sure you know or if you dont know..samsung is horrible with updates ..i got the behold...smh..then the galaxy s..wow..then the galaxy s 2..shouldnt have been shocked..see they dont really build up to much talk about updates..they let it ride for a year..then drop a new phone thats better and forget about the last one..if you dont care about support and updates and dont mind touchwiz and its features then i suggest get it..im not bashing the gs3 for anyone thats reading this, im just stating whats happened from past experiences and my experience with the s3, its a beautiful snappy perfect little phone well little isnt the word lol..but the features it offers if you care about customization and what not are just a gimick. if you dont care about customization like most general purchasers or just dont take the time to figure out how to do then you should get it

Good news for you:

I highly highly doubt that will be the next Nexus device. With those specs, there is absolutely no reason for someone with a Galaxy Nexus to upgrade.

I said so far. they haven't come out yet my friend. I was thinking about the huawei ascend d quad but that isn't out either.
Please Vote in the poll.

One X. After the 4.0.4 update and Sense 4.1. Its an absolute BEAST. Benchmarks better than the SGS3 now and Tegra 3 optimized games will give it the edge in gaming over a slightly better GPU in SGS3
When it all comes down to it. Pure power is so close that software optimizations will be the difference maker IMO

Was notification light ever fixed? That you couldnt manage the colours of the LED notification light made the one X useless, and even if they did they made the light so hard to see......what a pity

Galaxy Note II should theoretically beat all of them (depending on what you mean by "so far").
Not sure anything beats the Razr Maxx in terms of battery.

Xperia V , T and TX benches higher than those phones... lol!

As far as raw power is concerned it´s the S3 , the international - quad core Exynos version .
The Xperia T and V are S4 , so they are at the same level with HOS , american S3 etc.

+1 for mi2

The unlocked HTC One X has my vote. Technically if we're talking about to this date though, its the Galaxy Note 2.

iPhone !

Ofcourse the SGS3. Plenty of power. Just hoping some better optimizing with Android OS.

gs3 absolutely

I vote for One X.
When the Optimus G and Mi2 come out, they will really be the fastest. After doing a bit of research on the processor in them, I would say they will be around 70% faster than the One X or S3.
Its quite annoying, not only is my One X getting outdated fast, its going to be outdated by a lot... Phones move to fast now :/ you can't keep up.
Qualcomm APQ8064 Snapdragon
Quad-core 1.5 GHz Krait
I'd say it would safely handle any of the current games and apps and anything that android can throw at it so far.

My vote goes for samsung galaxy s3

Sony Xperia V!!

galaxy s3 for sure

If youre talking about hardware most people would say the sgs3 but the meizu MX and another phone I can't think of right now (not the one x) are slightly stronger. For the normal phone you word find in stores, it would be the sgs3

The spec list is pretty sweet - hopefully there's one with 32gb or expandable storage.
I'd like to see one as when I've seen the Galaxy Note out in public it just looks absolutely ridiculous in size... lol

according to HTC it has microsim card slot. I was thinking about getting the LG Optimus G but idk now, i may have to wait lol

That looks pretty good as well... lol
I want to wait and see what Google do with their Nexus range, I've heard that there are going to be a few different models to cater for the different type of users and they might be released by different manufacturers even.

I want my next phone to have the s4 pro.. LG or HTC who shall it be
Sent from my Nocturnal Evita

I don't know which color I like better. The red w/black accents and the black w/red accents both look sick! I hope it's not just a Verizon exclusive when it comes to the states. How much you wanna bet the carriers will be charging $399 WITH a two year contract. "Oh it's 1080p so that's gonna cost an extra $100." Or they'll price it at $900 for off contract. That's one reason why I didn't want a 1080p phone to come out now. Carriers are gonna think it justifies a HUGE price increase.
You guys are all thinking about going to the Optimus G? Seems a lot of people are into the Optimus G. But LG? I don't know if I could buy an LG phone. The S4 Pro should be coming to other manufacturers phones also.

Another phone I have to work hard on getting. Each time I get a new phone there's a newer and better one coming out. I get the HTC inspire 4g and I see the one x. I get the one x and I see this x.x. oh well, happens everytime. The phone looks really nice and specs are great. Also jellybean!

I'll stay away from HTC as long as they are locking down phones for ATT.
Does look sweet though.

I will wait for a few hours, for admins to open HTC J Butterfly own subforum and post my opinion there! (sarcastic)
Whitey here
Anyone got that nice looking wallpaper?

Started loving HTC phones
Hopefully will manage to save enough for Butterfly till end of this year

As ridiculously sexy as this phone looks, I just don't upgrade my phone that often - I got the One X because I trusted it to last me through at least the 2 years of my AT&T contract.
Still, this gets me excited to see the phones of 2014

This is what the one x+ should have been based on! I like but there are some things that won't convince me, 2020 mah battery for a 5 inch screen and 1080p ? battery is gonna last 2 hours of on screen time :/ HTC seems to never learn about how important batteries are, 5" is too big for me, also no onscreen buttons? and that glossy finish? no thanks

Note 3 Photos Leaked - Real or Fake?

I Know this is random, but its also cool. For anyone keeping up with the rumors on the note 3, here's another. These Photos Were leaked online 6/10/2013. Comes from Sam Mobile who are the ones that leaked the Pictures of the S4 which turned out to be real. the phone seems to have a smaller bezzle like the s4 so the phone its self wont be bigger but the screen will.
What does everyone think? Real or Fake?

So do what everyone does. Buy the Note 3 yourself, swap over the SIM and keep the contract. So long as you don't swap to a phone that requires a different data plan (Blackberry and Apple require a different dataplan than 'Everything else" here. Blackberry costs you 18 bucks a month extra for some reason.) you should be fine.
I hate having carrier-given phones. Not only do they come with all sorts of extra bloatware. (T-mobile apps, for instance), but half the time they want it back after two years. Meaning if you do anything they don't like, you have to pay for the phone fully again in the end AND hand it over.
I just told T-mobile my HD2 had been in the bag I lost at Schiphol Airport.

definitely one of those top class phablets, can't wait!
