It looks so much like Android.
I'm confused. This may sound like a separate topic but, since Android is open source, does it mean that I can copy it over and change it around and call it MyMobileOS and sell it for money?
Is what XiaoMi phone is doing legal? They just take Google's code and change it around and massively put it on their own phones and sell for money?

nvm. wrong post

i dont like this, if samsung does this, i will just go for the iphone 5.. enough said.

Yeah, finally they have quality products, if they do this...wow

Certainly will be a huge change of OS . . Its ok. . SGS2X will last awhile .......

Yeah my thoughts are I wont buy it.

If anything they will release a phone with this and another equally speced phone with android. No way they are completely abandoning android.

i will definitely move on to the iPhone, or even a wp7 phone if this happens

There are other good android phones,htc anyone?

HTC screens are garbage. I personally think that if Samsung was to go ahead and make this move without continuing to release any Android phones then that would be a negative decision on their part financially.

U would leave android because sammy did?

I seriously doubt the SGSII will have anything but android on it but I certainly don't doubt them making a phone with another OS. look at how many android phones sammy makes. you think they will stop all that?

Tizen is also open source - so you should not pay any money to have it. And looking into the source code - all of the drivers are under Apache License with Samsung as owner. We will probably see Samsung running Tizen soon. Not to mention that Intel is supporting the project hoping that they may enforce x86 instead of ARM processors arch (the same way they are forcing Thunderbird instead of USB). Android got one major flaw - that's the java virtual machine or I should say Oracle.

Looks like a Touch Wiz OS. Low end devices most likely, similar to Bada.

Oh c'mon with the exaggeration.. they're a far cry from 'garbage'!
Samsung screens are nice but the colours (from what I have seen personally) are over saturated in comparison to others such as HTC, which have more natural colours, something a lot of people appreciate.
My best friend has a GS2 and while his screen is nice, it's also tinted yellow because the colour temperature is way off, so the colours on my 1 year old Desire HD actually look better. He's not alone either there's a 200+ page thread on it. Then there's the banding issues people are having on the Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Note displays.
What I'm getting at is all current screens have their downsides but they're all far from being garbage.

i think that's a new incarnation of BADA OS

It's a bada os, but it'll be open-source this time.
I don't know who need this... Bada failed, Tizen will fail too.

This would be a HUGE mistake. Right now, people love Android, and some of us have quite a bit of money invested in apps and other things. I don't see many devs jumping ship either...

Will AT&T ever get this device?

I'm sorry if this has been discussed. Will AT&T ever get this device? If not where is the best place to purchase an unlocked GSM version of it? Thank You!

Pretty sure you could buy the AT&T version from Best Buy for ages now.
*edit* July of last year in fact.

its not that bad of a question. If you live some place where Best Buy isn't or just ignore that inglorious box of blue stained diaper filler you'd not know that the i9020A was available there.
That said, having gone from a Captivate to a Nexus S myself, you might want to sit on your wallet for a bit and wait for the Galaxy Nexus to finally come to AT&T. I made the leap knowing that the captivate and nexus S are more or less the same hardware only because I knew the Galaxy Nexus was going to be uncomfortably large in my hands.
From an Android standpoint, a captivate with Cyanogen or some other AOSP based ROM will work and act like a Nexus S. Only real reason to move is if you want AOSP without having to work for it

The NS was never available at an AT&T store but only at Best Buy. This is why there is no AT&T branding as it really isn't a AT&T "supported" phone.

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?

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

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.

What the hell is that?! It doesn't look like a flagship to me...

A Nokia Lumia like with some curves ....I like curves only on women though

Thats not hell , Its the New Display from SAMSUNG.
WOW

this is not even a phone prototype ,just a few images running in loop. good screen tech though, i love flexi

OP is exercising wishful display thinking.

That's just to show off the flexible display, not a prototype S4, if it was they would have announced it at the same time.

I love the technology of flexible displays but I just can't see the benefits in this prototype. Seems like it's being added to the phone because they can.

Lol.
Not even close to S4
They are simply showing off OLED Flexible screen which seems pointless...

i would post a proof that it's S4 or better change that "official" title...

This is the screen demo buddy. But in the video, the way the Widget menu has been shown , I m going mad to hold this in my hands.

Exactly, wtf is with official being in the title, there is nothing official here.

Please check the Video where the Prototype uses this display as well as the Widgets can be seen in the middle of the video.
OFFICIAL means, that this Pictures and Videos are released by SAMSUNG at CES , so they are not fake.
Hope everyone understands it now.

Much better title now...

@BALA............At the 10th Second of the Video, the Demo Guy says something, Please liten to the ENGLISH Word, whether its a Prototype or not ?
I guess I am not that a Noob to post fantacising Titles for Misguiding people here after a Long stay.

It's cool, granted, but I doubt it's the Galaxy S IV. Surely they can't link this to the S range; it's a completely new design. It should be called the Galaxy Flex (maybe I should get that trademarked?)! Unless Samsung are as stupid as Apple are with their naming conventions?

yes, i would still say its not a phone prototype, to call it as a phone prototype you need atleast a few more thing demoed along with the screen. the screen protype shown dont even run on a OS, its just a few frames of pictures looping inside the flexi display unit.
Scratch that – it's essentially a digital picture frame, which cycles through various images showing what the display can do and isn't running any sort of mobile OS. It's also lacking essentially everything else: camera, radios, and most other hardware features. This is very, very much a prototype to display one potential use of this sort of curved display.

samsung deal

Was just wondering if you sign up for the next big phone, up to $600, and $50. Will you pay for rest in full or?

well usually when you buy from samsung the rest is owed so id think so...no freebies lol.
carriers obviously will offer to put it on 2 or so year plan with a specific data plan. but ive never heard of electric device companies offering leases. usualy that's the job of the 3rd party resellers to screw you over for a couple of years. but i miggt be wrong.
edit:
so there is something similar but this is evil at its best:
https://www.samsung.com/uk/samsung-upgrade/
you have to keep on paying and paying and each year you get a new device. plus you never own the device and must return it once the new one is released.

I owe $750-ish on my Note 10 so $600 doesn't seem so bad. I signed up just in case I decide to get it. However, the ridiculously high price hikes with each new itteration makes me want to go to one of the 2nd or 3rd-tier manufacturers, so, we'll see...

I will be buying directly from Samsung, $600.00 for my S10 plus or my Note 9, and I have up to 24 months to pay off the rest. Usually I paid off in 2 months, but is good to know that I have the option to pay in 24 months I'd something happens.

Details of the current lender used by Samsung in the UK can be found here https://www.klarna.com/uk/cbrf/consumer/#section-5
The only downside I can see is that they perform a credit screening on application, which can affect your credit score for other credit screenings. Not a big deal for the most part, unless you have any credit issues.

Sold my 7 Pro, picked up a cheap 3 XL for the $600 trade in. Going for the 10 Plus. Unlocked Version 5G hopefully at launch. Outright.

The 5g version is Verizon only right? I don't see an option for unlocked N10+ 5G. I really wished the all exynos rumor was true. I can only use Verizon where I am, so I've never been able to buy an exynos phone.

5g version only comes in black?
