You're in luck, it's better:

"The Galaxy Note III is likely to pack a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC clocked at 2.3GHz, Adreno 330 GPU, 5.99-Inch Full HD (1080p) Super AMOLED Display, 13-Megapixel main camera shooter, Bluetooth 4.0 + LE, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, NFC, IR Blaster and LTE-Support. That’s all we know so far, but it is expected that it will run the latest version of
Android with Samsung’s own TouchWiz interface for improved S-PEN functionality."

I'd pass on all of that epicness if it still has the same crappy design, Samsung is turning into Apple.

Well the 'prototype' looks more like the S2 than the S4. http://www.sammobile.com/2013/06/09/galaxy-note-iiis-prototype-showed-up/
Don't take it as fact just yet, because there's no official confirmation, but who knows. 20th June we'll know for sure.
Besides, I was going to get an S4 before deciding to wait for the Note 3. So if it looks like the S4, fine by me

Bigger screen, stylus, FULL HD screen, AMOLED DISPLAY(Eventhough I would be happier Sammy stopped using AMOLEDS and used PLS or IPS displays instead)

Louder sound through the headphone jack. This is really a general complaint with my two other Android devices as well, a Nexus 7 and Asus TF101, the volume is just way too quiet. I hate having to resort to flashing various audio files that often don`t work as advertised. Just give me proper volume control out of the box, I`ll be the judge of what`s too loud.

If you seen the leaked Photos lately, it looks like it has the original body of the Note 1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hy0pzPkJW6s
But if you look at everything else Samsung has made in the past year, they all look like the S4. Even there tablets the Galaxy Note 8 looks like a giant S4. hopefully they change that, as this is the only real problem of there phones. Its like there doing a IPhone.

Waiting desperately for note 3
Good camera with flash
Note app
gorilla glass
nice sound
fast
all good features from note 2 and s4

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

Why are there no high end 4" android phones? Does everyone think bigger is better?

Why are there no high end 4" android phones? Does everyone think bigger is better?
This article raised a very good question I've been wondering for a while now too:
http://www.zdnet.com/dear-android-manufacturers-please-sell-me-the-phone-that-i-want-7000006437/
There are plenty of android phones to choose from. But every North American manufacturer's flagship phones are 4.6+ inches and they just seem to be getting bigger! I don't want a bigger phone...but I want flagship hardware. How many >4.5 inch android phones have top tier hardware (quadcore, HD screen, top end GPU). ZERO.:crying:
The one thing I think Apple has right is the size of the iPhone 5. It fits very comfortably in your hand. I can fit the Galaxy Nexus in one hand, but I cannot reach all areas of the screen with my thumb if I have 4 fingers gripping the side of the phone. I can stretch if I put my pinky on the bottom and only 3 on the side, but if I add a case to the mix then it becomes uncomfortable again.
Now I admit I have smaller hands, but I'm sure others have this issue as well. I just was shocked to read through the comments on the story to see how many people avidly almost "attacked" the author for his opinion. Thinking it was ridiculous to expect options like this. And that people with smaller hands should just be content with outdated hardware on smaller phones.
Anyone else who wish the sizes would go back down? Or at least have options of smaller models with the same high end hardware? Was really hoping for a 4-4.3" Nexus 4...but I know that's not going to happen Oh well...here's to hoping it might happen with the Nexus 5...
I think it has to do with utility anymore. Screen size is pretty much a deciding factor for most because of what they can do or what they feel they need with their device. I agree with you on size but do not think one handing your phone shouldn't be a factor.
However, 4" is a nice juicy screen size for anyone. But then again there is the utility thing to think about. Who really uses a smart phone just to make calls or view an email/text anymore?

to be honest i am absolutely agree with u.
now adays smartphone is used for browsing and multimedia rather than make a call and sms or email.

IMHO. nexus series will look like this in the future. i believe google has make some kind of standardization of their phone model.
4.65 with a shape like galnex.
its not the screen size that i really concern. but the battery life...

Screens are huge because we demand high definition screens. 720x1280 doesn't come cheap in a 4inch screen. Also leaves more room for battery and the extra lte antenna.
The new Galaxy S3 Mini just came out! It has the SPECS of a flagship devices, but has a 4" screen!
I prefer big displays mainly because tiny onscreen keyboards are hard to use.

Take a look at the specs of the Chinese phone listed in the article...
"720p 4.3-inch screen with a Retina-display-busting pixel density of 342ppi. Quad-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon processor, 2GB of RAM, Jelly Bean and up to 32GB of storage. No microSD, sadly, and of course there may be support and warranty issues, but this ideally-sized powerhouse will retail at less than £250."
So It can be done. And on the affordable side even (~$400). My question is why is there no equivalent of this in the North American market?

I didn't think about the buttons. I guess I couldn't really say unless I held it in my hands, but it seems noticeably smaller on paper:
Xiaomi MI-2 Dimensions:
126 x 62 x 10.2 mm (4.96 x 2.44 x 0.40 in)
VS
Samsung Galaxy Nexus I9250 Dimensions:
135.5 x 67.9 x 8.9 mm (5.33 x 2.67 x 0.35 in)
Not a HUGE difference...again, I'd prefer a 4" phone where the difference would be more noticeable. But if these specs can be squeezed into 4.3" on the cheap from a no name brand, my point is it's definitely possible to do 4" from a big name brand manufacturer.

It is a common idea in North America that "bigger is better," as well as "more is better." Just check out the average BMI in the US... kinda high up there.... and it ain't muscle mass.... check out Texas as an example.
I too was very concerned with my future phone before I upgraded to the Gnex. I had a 4.3" Droid Charge. I thought that anything over 4.5" was pushing my limits, but I slowly became very comfortable with the current Gnex size. However, I still do not want anything larger than 4.65"... so I'm hoping the future Nexus phones after the Nexus 4 don't get any bigger.
Side note: w00t SF Giants FTW!!!!!
I think the current nexus screen size is perfect imo
maybe the nexus 3 will grant your wish?
I guess your the odd one out that manufacturers don't care about

The Chinese manufactured phones (xaomi etc) are produced in small amounts and are only cheap because of excess chip production. They're really hard to find in any market.
The Droid Incredible LTE is a great phone. The Snapdragon S4 is no slouch and the screen is rather beautiful. If you're expecting a 720p screen on a 4 inch device...please...come down to earth with the rest of us. The only way you're getting that is if you buy an iPhone or somehow get your hands on one of the Chinese phones.

iphone 5 is not a 720p display... close but not a true 720p
http://www.zdnet.com/will-the-iphone-5-display-remain-competitive-7000004012/
A 4" top tier device now would probably be way more costly to manufacture than the usual 4.5"+ screen size device. And there will probably be very very few quad cores, if any in a device that small. Battery and all the other top tier accoutrements just won't be feasible. You will have to settle for a sacrifice somewhere. Last years top end specs in 4" form factor is probably best you can expect for a year or two.
Off topic but I wish Samsung took a chance on the galaxy premier and made it just like the nexus instead of Samsung's typical hardware button accompanied by two capacitive buttons. Better GPU and CPU. And add stock android. Samsung is probably too scared to lose any marketshare by alienating a device. What is wrong with taking small chances on a mid end device? All the people skipping the lg nexus 4 would probably take a serious at the i9260 if it had Google's now standard software navigation, with upgraded specs aaaaaaand a SD card slot. Smdh Samsung.

My point exactly though. You can't get true 720p in a 4 inch screen and if you did you'd have to use a microscope to read anything.

New Samsung Galaxy S4

Hi!
All speculations please into this thread.
I heard that the display will be a big jump compared to S3
I read apparently the s4 is more about software not so much about hardware. Yeah right more like more plastic and more profit.
I bought s1, s2, s3 paid enough for plastic but no more. Enough is enough. Look at htc now that's what I build quality, design.

Samsung Galaxy S4 will be most powerful phone till date because it is to come with an 1.8 GHz octa (8) core Exynos 5410 processor, PowerVR SGX 544 MP graphics processor, 2 GB RAM and 16 GB/32 GB inbuilt memory and will have a 5 inch display with 1920x1080p resolution. In terms of camera too the phone is well armed; it will come with a big 21 megapixel rear camera and a 1.3 megapixel front camera. Read more here:

Who needs 8 cores just to make a call, send a text or play temple run?

Yeah that sounds good but the moment they wrap it with plastic it sucks. It loses al that appeal basically Samsung are taking us for mugs. Expect us to pay 500+ for plastic!! Still usin amoled everyone knows LCD is better.
If this is how Samsung treat their customers then they will lose their appeal just like the iPhone is.

Lol. Come on man Samsung is taking us for mugs, surely they can provide better build quality. Is it too much to expect when you pay over £500 for phone.

More like 2.1mp front facing camera and 13mp for the main. Get your facts right bro.. and who said it's the most powerful? Because of that octa crap? It "may" be the highest clocked till date but that doesn't mean it's the most powerful. Snapdragon 600 is way better than that octa crap..

Not to mention the US is going to get a crappy dumbed down version...
It's not octa core, it's a 2 quad core, one for low power usage such as calling and one for high power usage for gaming and such.
The eye tracking feature seems nice

Another gimmicky tweak like smart stay for S3. Never used smart stay it never worked as it was meant to and was excessive battery consumer.
Again my point for not buying S4 simple cheap plastic look, feel and quality. SLCD 3 is far superior then amoled screen.
