Umm nah, I mean sure the "3500 mAh" battery probably doesn't have that much but it has quite a bit more than stock and the price is cheaper than an OEM battery. There's no downside (unless you've sold your soul to Otterbox )

They make extended batt phone cases I think

I know for a fact that the Galaxy SII battery from the upcoming Epic 4G Touch is 1800mah and definitely fits in the Epic. (and btw, the new phone is Sweet! can't wait till the 9th)
It's only a matter of time before you'll start to see them pop up on ebay, etc.

Why even make that, Sprint has the Evo...

I guess sprint wants its customers to have options. Bastards.

The european/asian SGSII that is currently out uses a physically larger battery that will not fit SGS1 phones. Epic 4G touch, maybe what you say is true.

Lol there's no reason when they have the Epic, if it had better stats than i could see a point. Evo 3D makes it a device behind the times, I want a super Epic with the keyboard still on it

Losing a physical keyboard is not something I'd call an upgrade, that's a BIG step back IMHO

I wouldn't say a step back, esentially everything else is, albeit aslight, upgrade. Id say different as apposed to a step back. Hopefully they will anounce a true sequal to the epic though, keyboard and all.

too each there own but the thrill doesn't do anything for me. bit if you like the thrill and infuse then the sgs2 I coming out. something to think about.
anyway I can't stand 3d anything. so I put more emphasis on other screen specs and Samsung hss that down pretty good though the resolution could be better.
the thrill had a lot of power and the hdmi is built in not through an adapter so its convienient. it seems sturdy and its the right price on contract while the infuse is a bit over priced till the sgs2 comes out when I'm sure the price will drop a bit.

I got my infuse at Best Buy as an upgrade for $20 ($65 after tax) by having them price match Fry's electronics weekly ad (good till the 29th)... but I think its going to end up going back to Best Buy before my 30 days are up.
I like it just not enough to justify a 2 year contract on a device that will be outmatched in a matter of days. I will just end up waiting until the Att version of the SGS II goes on sale on AmazonWireless for $99 (tax free) and upgrade then. An extra $35 is def worth it for the SGS II...

Great price imo and makes it really easy if I want to upgrade via Craigslist to a later phone without losing any money.

I was going off the att store where they never seem to give Samsung price drops. the cappy was the same.
yeah bestbuy and other stores have a little more fairness in the pricing.

Well i also bought a thrill i am still using my bone stock infuse because i just like it better side by side stock for stock i cant tell a speed difference ive ran same games and both phones handeled about the same just my two cents i prefer the infuse all day long i may root after gb comes out wanted to try it before i go rom crazy . On a side not im holding out for the nexus prime if it comes to att that is a beast of a phone and nexus always gets its updates in a timley manner .

I want a,Thrill I have an extra infuse for trade?

I temporarily had the thrill for a week in a half, it was a nice phone. everything worked like I expected but what ruined it for me was the battery life. I couldn't get through half my school day before it was already dying , the gps always failed to lock, and I missed the super amoled screen. All in all, I sold it to a family member and ran back as fast as I could to the infuse.

17-20 hrs on my thrill ....one charge. it took alot of work but it is achievable.
In the end my thrill went back over a bad sd slot.
I am going to see what comes out over the next few weeks and stick with my infuse for now
(which I am lucky to get 6 hours out of before swapping batteries)

I got my infuse for $70.
Well, I dropped my infused like a week ago and I was trying to fix it but it was going to cost me more to fix it then to getting a new one. So I added a line to my account and got it for 70 with free overnite shipping. Here is the link as to how I got the discount.

LOL what do you do on your phone that kills a battery in 6 hours?! I easily pull 14-16 hours with at least 4 hours screen time, sometimes more.

FYI, GSII drops on Sunday.
6 hours from an Infuse = something is MAJORLY wrong.

I use my phone a bit more than the average user. my biz slacks off in the fall until next spring...i have nothing better to do lol.
Today is what i consider a good day...7 hours and at 50% but I have hardly used it.

this is funny. I measure my battery life in days. not hours. I can do 2 days with what I consider heavy use. that means streaming pandora for an hour or two and cronic obsesive checking xda. and some very short phone calls.
I can do 3 days with medium to light use but I have a habit of charging every night during the work week even if I'm at 90% which does happen. my captivate was the same way.
I know it is better to let the battery run lower and to not leave it on charge after it is full because these batteries have better longevity if kept around 60% but I use the dock as my alarm clock in the morning.

Most if not all States make you pay tax based on the full retail price of the phone not on the subsidized (2yr contract, etc.) price. Really sucks, but state gov'ts thought they were losing too much tax $ when Cell providers realized the real money was in the service contracts not the hardware and started giving the phones away for free or for steep discounts. IIRC, first the gov't said no free phones, so the cell providers started the penny phone deals. Then the state legis. basically said f*ck it, sell it for what you want, but we still get tax on full retail. At least that's how it went down in Cali according to a buddy sold phones in the early days.... . I still do a double take at the register when getting a new upgrade

I guaranty i use mine at least 4 times more
Screen on is slightly less that total use. I am going to try some of the tweaks I was using on the thrill but the msin one I cant get to work on the infuse is underclocking....it just bogs down too much. the thrill handled things much better. the infuse underclocked just can not keep up with me.

Pretty sure that's ONLY in California. At least, that's the only place I've heard it being charged that way. In the NE, it's taxed on the subsidized price.
That being said, I just sold my Infuse for a Thrill last week, already had to replace it once, and the second is just as bad. I highly recommend saying FAR away from the Thrill.

Why I'm upgrading to an S3 and not an S4

So, I know that people are comparing the S3 to the S4 and why one should spend the extra money on a S4 if they don't already have an S3.
I'm not gonna argue against the fact that the S4 is a better, faster phone. However, as I'm nearing my upgrade date, I'm comparing the two phones to see which phone I would be happier with.
There are a few factors that have helped me make my decision. The most prevalent being the price. For the price of the S4 and what you get, the value is outstanding. Just looking at all of the tests and reviews comparing the two phones, the S4 is clearly the winner. But, how important is $100 to me when throwing it into a phone that edges out its still powerful predecessor? Let's face it. The S3 is still an awesome phone and has a lot of support and life left in it.
If I was comparing an S2 and S4, I would clearly go for the S4, or if the 3 only had 1gb of ram and slower processor.
As far as pixel density is concerned, I will not notice a difference. Same goes for 720p vs. 1080p, which may be the same as pixel density, but not a big issue for me.
The main reason I'm getting the 3 instead of the 4 is because I have other things to spend my money on and the 3 is still pretty awesome and a huge step up from my slow DX2.

Those are the exact reasons why ai upgraded to the S3 instead of the S4 when I upgraded from the Droid Bionic last month. By the way, this is definitely a solid phone and I haven't regretted my decision or wished that I had upgraded to the S4 once. Here's what I'm doing with the money that I ended up saving. I bought a couple of accessories for my new phone and I believe that I may have used the rest to spoil my nephews and my new little niece.

Check out dkp. This kernel is only available for the S3. This alone, in my opinion, makes it better than the S4.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

Let's not forget this phone has an unlocked bootloader
the s4 most likely will NEVER have one, and a developer edition is your only option.
ATM you can only root the new sg4. no custom recovery. no custom roms.

Only if you got screwed with the new OTA then yeah (which seems to be a lot of people). I'm reading through the bounty thread multiple times a day crossing my fingers though!
And I would definitely upgrade to the s4, sell it, then buy an s3. That could net you a good $200-$300 profit.

Bingo... I would not waste an upgrade and not get the latest phone either hold off for something else or get the s4.

I've always had great luck with ktoonz.
Is dkp that awesome? Battery life or performance wise? I never knew this kernel was so revolutionary - you really talked it up here! Ha ha. Would it run great on Liquid?
Thanks for bringing it up though, I'll be looking into trying it now.
About S4 versus S3, I agree with this decision to get S3, but I also agree that you could make quick dough by getting S4 and pawning it.
S3 development is unsurpassed in phones.

Coming from the DX2 myself last year, anything is better than it. I would go for the newest since you'll be stuck with it for 2 years and the S3 will run its course by next year. Love my S3 and can't wait until the S5.

I think the price difference is more than $100. Closer to $200... Correction, $130 if you bought either at Amazon ($149 vs $19).

You could flip a NIB s4 on Craigslist in a few hours, unless you live in a remote area.
You could make a listing NIB S4 for NIB s3+cash right now before you decide and see what offers you get

While you bring up a good scenario, I believe the best that I could do is break even. Target has the S3 at $39 vs. the S4 at $149 for upgrade price. Does anyone really think that I would be able to make much more than the difference in upgrade price?

I can't say I wouldn't get this phone, but I might wait & see about the moto X. From the early looks it might be a pretty good contender.

I think most people are missing my point. All I'm saying is that I want a better phone, not the best that's out there right now. I can compare it to buying a new car as opposed to buying used. While a new car looks shiny, one that is 1-2 years old will do what I need it to do. I simply cannot justify spending the extra to get something that will last probably not much longer than its predecessor. I also don't want to go to the extra trouble of trying to sell or trade the S4 when it won't net me that much in the end, IMHO.

i dealt with this same inner struggle. being the recovery booting/flashing/romming/dalvik cahe wiping/permission fixing/ junkie i am, i wanted to insure the best experience possible. especially after having the pleasure of the droid x2. i got my s3 about a month ago, and it has been awesome already. there is no debate to be had. exactly what you said. it is MILES ahead of the droid x2. and with an unlocked bootloader, it will see development much longer than dx2 did. that is all that matters. spend your extra 100 dollars on something more worth while.

How can you say that? The phone hardly just came out, the S3 was in a similar situation. We had a locked bootloader, limited recovery and other such. You seem to forget that or not know. I was in the IRC helping Adam get a device to help unlock it. Within 43 minutes of me posting a link to donate to get him a device, he had over $700. The next week we had an unlocked boot loader.
Don't be so pessimistic, think positive.

S4 on sale at att(preowned)

The s4 is currently on sale at att online only for 29.99. The lady on the phone gave me an early upgrade+free overnight for it. http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/samsung/galaxy-s-4-16gb-black-mist-refurb.html

If you cancel early, might be a good way to get a S4 somewhat cheap. Nothing will beat the 50% glitch that happened last month though.

I just ordered one as well. I was really trying to see what kind of deposit I thought I'd have to pay. They've always asked me for one. I was surprised & they approved me this time. I even got an iPhone 4 w/ 8 Gig for .99 cents.

I went and got it because of this deal. I really didn't want to upgrade yet, but my Nexus S is really starting to show its age (bless its heart). Custom ROMs can only take you so far with a device that old. I really don't want an S4 (hardware buttons including the ugly physical home button, front Samsung branding, little dev community support compared to my Nexus S), but the deal was too good to pass up. I guess I could sell this for $400-450 (maybe more?) by the time the next Nexus phone is out. Anyway, I can't wait for it to arrive so I can experience some of that 1080p Gotdamoled goodness. I may even keep it if the bootloader situation and community support gets better.

An opinion is one thing, but dont bad mouth the community. There are developers busting their asses working on roms for free, show some respect. Or better yet learn to do something yourself

I see, you seem to think I was talking about the community. I wasn't. I was badmouthing Samsung. In regards to the community, I was simply stating the current situation of things. The community support for this phone, in which there's not much going on, is a result of Samsung's and the carriers' doing.
I'm not sure how what I said could be misinterpreted to mean I'm bad-mouthing any entity other than Samsung. Calm down, read, and stop looking for something negative.

I went and got it because of this deal. I really didn't want to upgrade yet, but my Nexus S is really starting to show its age (bless its heart). Custom ROMs can only take you so far with a device that old. I really don't want an S4 (hardware buttons including the ugly physical home button, front Samsung branding, little dev community support compared to my Nexus S), but the deal was too good to pass up. I guess I could sell this for $400-450 (maybe more?) by the time the next Nexus phone is out. Anyway, I can't wait for it to arrive so I can experience some of that 1080p Gotdamoled goodness. I may even keep it if the bootloader situation and community support gets better.

Well the s3 gsm versions are still selling for $300 and up used. It should still hold its value at least until the s5 or whatever comes out.

Just sold my skyrocket for $220 on eBay. I'd say that held value pretty well. Listing my wife's S3 today, that should sell for $250+, and I really only need it to sell for $200 in order for her S4 to be completely free including activation.

$220 for your Skyrocket? That's good to know. ATT was willing to give $55 credit those cheap mofos.
My S4 is coming Monday but I'm not sure I can part w/ my Skyrocket

Yup, but it did sell with 2 cases plus 2 extra batteries. But still, I didn't expect that much. It was hard for me to part with my skyrocket as well, but wifey said sell it or no S4 lol. Out of respect I agreed. I don't regret it, I love my S4. I also got offered $55, and I told them I could sell it as a paperweight for that price.

Yea thinking of going with Midnight Black also. Gotta wait for my G6 return to be proccessed before I can preorder the S8. Sales reps said pre-orders might sell out soon.

More a "tour" than a review. There are two kinds of testing, objective and subjective. The latter is more opinion which that video is. I want to see how S-835 and Exynos 8955 compare to each other and their predecessors, how the new Mali and Adreno GPU's stack up, how the new camera's compare to their predecessors and others on the market, battery life and charging time, and brightness and energy use of the new displays. GSMArena, Anandtech, and Notebookcheck are the best at those types of objective tests and they use the same battery of tests consistently across all the devices they test.
Here's Notebookcheck's early hands-on...

Same one for me too (exynos version here though so hopefully can be rooted)

Going to go with the silver version. Felt like a change from the always dark colors, and it might not show fingerprints as badly.

I got stuck behind a fraud alert and now T-Mobile hasn't charged again it's been 2 days should I cancel and order thru Samsung site? I did pay the phone in full well I was going to if it went through hahaha. Whatcha guys think ?

Or you wait three days from when you would have received your pre-order and go in to a T-Mobile store and pick it up there. The pre-order frenzy in the T-Mobile thread is farcical. In two weeks anyone (in the U.S.) who wants a S8 can have one. The amount of energy and time being consumed by some people to get the phone a couple of days ahead of launch seems kind of odd. The irony is, at least with the Note7, AT&T'rs got their phones via FedEx before 95% of T-Mobile'rs got theirs via UPS. And the latter had tracking numbers days earlier. To each their own.

Did they say how long it would take for them to re charge your card? I see people placing orders today and have already been charged and also have shipping labels.

Sorry but it's not a great review. The amateurishness of this guy is evident when he says that the samsung chip is even better than Apple's A10 fusion chip. Also adds a sardonic "sorry apple fans"
Obviously this guy is a novice. Because any reputable You tuber knows and as seen in many videos,the iphone 7 plus wipes the floor with Samsung Galaxy S8. He sounds like a very obvious paid reviewer for Samsung.
Don't get me wrong. I have preordered the S8+. But let's be real here. In terms of sheer performance and optimization, no one can touch the iphones.
