Ill wait till the GS4 comes out lol i'm waiting for another keyboard these companies are stupid for making a straight edge touchscreen phones, there okay but their not awesome.
If i were to make a phone i would throw a 2GHz Dual or Quad-core CPU, 400-500MHz GPU, a 5-16MP Camera. (16 in back and 5 in front). CM9 (4.0.3), anywhere from a 4.5 to a 5" screen with a damn Keyboard but make the phone slimmer it will obviously be a bit bulkier than just a touchscreen but slimmer than the Epic 4G.
HAHA Will laugh at this post one day when we do or have better like probably in 2015+
That's just my feelings for those who want to update their phones constantly.
Why does a phone need all of that ?

i want my phone to be my next laptop.. the galaxy s3 hopefully might be it.. hopefully the delay is to improve of some specs of it.. the galaxy s3 has to make my epic 4g look like the g1...lmfao..

Why do we have dual core phones with 5" screens as it is why do we need 4G?
Why do we need all that, its because Technology grows and people want change if it stayed the same life would crumble up. Lol trust me i see it happen to people.
If were heading to Quad-core Next year what does it matter then?

I didn't mean it like that, I meant it as like what's the real benefit to all these phones that are expected to come out. I'm happy with my epic, I don't care about how many cores a phone have and how many Megapixels it's front and back camera have. It works just fine for my standards as well as many other. There's no real world value to a phone a 16mp camera when you can buy a 16mp camera cheaper than your phone.
But that's me

So we can progress in the tech world haha. Yeah th epic is fine but imagine what we can do in the future. Its all a matter of time. Anyways why not have all that in one device rather than six devices. IE like having 3 remotes versus just 1. Same concept.

A valid argument on both sides. But with respect to the camera, the way I see it is the point-and-clicks are going to be extinct in a few years. If your smartphone, of which everyone owns (or will own) one, has a camera that works just as well as a separate point-and-click, why own a point-and-click?

There's different desires for everybody. There are those like you that just want the phone to do an adequate job overall, and those that want the cutting edge, aka latest and greatest technology. I don't think there's anything wrong with either desire, just different personal wants

See, I frankly dont give a crap about the hardware specs of the GSIII or whatever my next phone will be. I want a few basic things out of it though:
Ability to play high profile h.264 video in 1080p
MHL port functioning day 1
USB OTG without a need for external power
NFC
Apart from those, pretty much the only other consideration I have is the size and quality of the screen. The CPU/GPU are gonna be adequate no matter what they are from this point on. Having a quad core isn't necessarily gonna offer me anything more than having a quality dual core. The GPU/video decoder is important, but the CPU not that much. I dont care about the camera, especially not the FFC which I have used 1 time. I dont care about a hardware keyboard because I rarely use it anyways.
I probably would rather get a GNote instead (hopefully the GNote 2 will be out by the time my upgrade in June comes up). That 5.3" screen is tempting. Got to play with one yesterday from a friend who put it on AT&T (International version unlocked) and to me it doesn't really feel too big . In fact, browsing web pages is amazing on that thing. Plus I took a pic, wrote and drew on it with the included stylus, and sent it to Facebook.

its just a bigger version of the galaxy s2 .. i rather wait and see wat galaxy s3 brings too the table .. and most likely it will get/have jelly bean.. not so sure about that GNote.
My simple explanation would be this: I want it to be what my Epic 4G was compared to my previous phones. I enjoyed my Epic and still am I could hold on to this phone for another year

I am debating getting the Samsung Within (Galaxy S2) when it's released and would like to hear your thoughts on it. I have not been a big fan of the Samsung devices in the past but I am intrigued by this one.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I agree with you on that one. I think its more about being sure you get the right phone to have for the next 22 months. It's like getting married, you don't wanna make the wrong choice cause its gonna be a while. My biggest concern is data reception. My friend got a nexus s and couldn't connect to 4g when I had 2 bars of 4g standing right next to him. Also, all of the samoled screens I've seen have a color tint to them so I don't know if samoled+ will be any different.
I'm wondering about the tinted screen myself. I hadn't heard about the 4g issue. I always research my future phones but sometimes you just don't know about it till you get it.

Well I've had one samsung phone, and it was beast, it was the 'smart phone' of its day before smart phones as we know rule the playground. Never had a bad experience, and this one has the hardware to match the software; as I recall [could be wrong] samsung wasn't going to lock the bootloader so it should be rooted, potentialy quickly, and as that phone has the hardware, I believe it'll have more support than the notorious Epic. Also have a samsung 32" LED TV, amazing quality, and I think this phone is worth picking up, and if you don't like it, return it within the 30 days.

As much as I have always loved htc, the s2 just seems to be a better phone. In the side by side videos I've seen it just seems smoother than the 3d. It definitely has the hardware, and from what I've heard the new touchwiz is supposed to be pretty good. I'm waiting go see if the whole subpixel thing actually improves the quality up to qhd like they claim. I'm also curious if sprint is going to add a hardware keyboard like they did with the galaxy s/epic. A no gimmick beast of a phone is definitely something I can deal with until the next upgrade comes up. Worst case scenario, if I go past the 30 days and decide I want the 3d, I'll just order a 3d when the wife isn't lookin and tell her I bought it cheap off a coworker.
i'm waiting. played with a SGS2 at CTIA in Florida.. should be awesomsauce & samsung gave out a handful of these devices to CyanogenMod devs so we should see some awesome stuff!!!

It's all about how you close the deal. My wife has a crap hero (no offense to hero owners, hers just sucks). So I told her I would go through asurion for a new evo since mine has some water damage, then I would let her have it after I upgrade to the 3d or galaxy s2. That way she could have a brand new evo until her upgrade comes in November. Not only is she bugging me to upgrade, but she thinks I'm a genius. Marriage, at times, is all about negotiation. As far as the hardware keyboard, I miss my touch pro 2 keyboard. I don't mind the thickness of the phone, and it made texting a bit easier sometimes. Also, remapping keys for shortcuts was a bonus too.

sold !
I'm sold on the size and battery !
Now, you early adopters need to find the quirks, I sure hope they aren't bad !
For sale:
G2
Nexus one
Both mint
Woohooo a manufacturer listened !
Will see, overall looks great device! But in my opinion is too big for phone - in comparison with Galaxy S2 - 25 additional mm. in lenth, 17 mm. in width. Stylus is good idea, I'm missing it since I left Windows Mobile
Looks pretty nice. I don't think the size will be an issue, but we'll see. If it performs well I'd consider buying it. I don't really like the idea of a stylus, and I think specifically pitching it towards a business market is not such a great idea. You could easily pitch it to both business and gaming or entertainment spaces given that huge screen.

I wonder what sort of developer support there will be for this. Quite a few people expressing a strong desire to purchase this.... more people than I imagined would from what I have seen so far, but equally, and as expected there are a fair few who feel that this would be too big for them.
I sit firmly in the "this is the ideal size device for me" camp, and unless the next Nexus is this size, or slightly bigger, then this will be my next device.

yes, a big dissappointment. seems like a step back, not forward in every way. I thought they would do a Photon 4G equivalent with a bigger screen etc? That looks like a great device and an improvement over our atrix. Seems like the Atrix 2 is slower, smaller battery (one of the best selling points on the atrix IMHO) and doesnt make a generation jump to LTE etc.
it does ave 4.3 inch screen
Im going for a Samsung Note next.
Seems to me the business people overrule the tech/specs people.

You would think motorola would capitalize on webtop and create a market for "lapdocks". Their half assed "try" is pitiful. They could create a flagship phone with a higher clocked dual core and two gigs of ram. Hell, as things are, the other gig of ram could be accessible by webtop only so you double data rate and it doesnt eat battery having to power that ram and not utilizing it. Perhaps with ics and the better spec'd phones coming soon something might happen.

I second this, main reason I hated my atrix was cause of the screen, if I can get my hands on one, I would swap it out for my atrix instantly.
The Bionic had an "operational" prototype back in Feb but it just got released this month (and looking completely different with different hardware). The same could be said about this. The battery, the processor, the screen, LTE, design, etc. could all be left to change when this phone actually reaches store shelves. But to even think that Motorola goes through the trouble with testing a device that is this lackluster spec-wise, and is supposed to be a successor, leaves me to believe that their marketing structure is based off of disseminating features/hardware across as many devices as possible to maximize profit which is one of the reasons I will not be buying another Moto phone anytime soon.

I read an article about a new LG phone coming out soon that looks bad ass! Basically the same as atrix but with the new Tegra, they said 1.2 or 1.5. It also had the slide out kb and 1080P recording which is probably pretty standard with new phones now. Nvidia was also saying that we should start seeing quad core phones by end of 1Q 2012. That would be nice.

Too many upcoming phones out there, but no dominant successor right now IMO...

Really no clue about the what...
On hardware I expect some flaming higher dpi screen and as rumors say, larger.... so saying their device goes large but not thick to make it more user friendly etc etc
Maybe something about camera, a few Mb and some faster shot or kinda
Ofc some software stuff we already have, or if we are lucky, something new that we can kang but no idea on a what!

Well, im interested to see what apple have included in the next upgrade! i would never have another iphone though.
I dont think it will be any more powerful than the s3, and from what i have seen it has about half an inch of extra screenage!!
I would be surprised if they unlocked the OS to compete with android and the customisation, but i doubt that will happen!
maybe apple will introduce bluetooth file sharing!!!!!! every other phone has it, why not on iphones? there is a cheap £50 phone at tesco's which texts calls and takes photos. i think its a cheap rubbish Alcatel phone. it has bluetooth.
ah well, ill just stick with what i know and like. Samsung!!!!!
Yes, I expect Iphone 5 to features - 2gb RAM, Quad Cores, 3300mAh battery, 4.65" retina screen and discount 50% for all apps for 2yrs. Is that too much to expect?

Can someone tell me at what GMT time it will start, I want to watch the event. I want to see how they present the so called best phone of the year.
A 4'' phone can have any features, I am not interested. Too small..

yeh im looking forward for iphone 5 but just for interesting. Had iphone 4s, phone maybe isnt so bad, but operating system is totally crap. Couldnt even send files over bluetooth...... android ftw
Here's what I know already:
1) It will still be highly dependant of iTunes.
2) Users will have to wait maybe months for a jailbreak.
3) The OS will basically still look the same as it did in 2007.
4) Still won't be able to backup the device on the memory card (ala cwm).
5) It will still have only one button - no dedicated back or menu keys.
6) You still won't be able to Bluetooth apps / movies / music to other phones.
7) Out of the box it won't just work until it's activated.
8) No removable battery of external memory card support.
9) I could seriously go on and on and on. But I've wasted enough time on crapple.
Please understand, I actually also own an iphone but once you've tasted android, ios is a major pain in the behind. Unless you are a simple person who find it difficult to do anything other than swype left to right.
Man I haven't tinkered with my iPhone since last year. I'm just bored of it and find it cumbersome to do anything on it. Believe me, it works great for messaging and taking / making calls.
I'm still on an older firmware because upgrading would mean hours and hours or restoring and re-downloading hacks, if they still work.
What pisses me off most is all the hype and media attention it gets. The S3 will still be a much better phone but still no media reports about it, on TV at least. Here in Australia all the major news networks have been talking about it's release for a week. Even today there was an ad for the morning news, which will feature the new iphone. Apple have bought out the media I think.

I'm curious about what they have to offer, but I'm not holding my breath.
I hope I'm wrong though, and Apple blows our minds with some awesome innovation and declare it creative commons. Man that'll sure be surprising

I am actually waiting till the iphone 5 hits the streets, so i can see how many people like being held back in terms of technological evolution when they buy an iphone 5.

Even that I dont beleive it beats the GT-I9305. 4.8 Screen 4G, 2GB ram Quad Core. Only thing it will beat it with is the Battery.and I doubt very much it wil be that High.
So No I dont beleive the new Iphone 5 will beat the New GS3 GT-I9305
and U can guess which one I am getting
The only thing that Apple that have done a great thing that is keep up to date. Samsung never promise on time.

I know this is Galaxy s III GENERAL THREAD.. And please look at the first post.. It says "IPhone 5 will make Galaxy SIII shame" that's why i started this post to check if that's at all true (IMO NO WAY).
Chill.
No led no NFC no blue tooth or wifi xfer. Still tied to itunes. Thats enough to put any techy off.

I'm probably gonna get the one because HTC got me all excited with the specs. I've always been a Samsung fan but since there's nothing really known about it I'm too hyped up about this phone to change my mind. Lol poor Samsung lost a buyer.

I'm getting it because of the quality of the phone and the huge amount of development this phone will have due to it being release to so many carriers

Haha Im sure you won't be disappointed, especially with the excellent build quality of the HTC One. Also nice Avatar, A Day to Remember is great.
The phone looks simply beautiful. Kinda sad that its not a full 5". Adtr is like my favorite band. Homesick is basically all I play in my truck.

Exactly :good:
If you want toys, go for Samsung. If you want solid smartphones, go for HTC
Samsung phones are for sure easier to hack and easy to fix if something goes wrong.

Or you could just wait till march...I mean it isn't that far away and you will then have all the info you need for a decision. That is what I'm doing. Plus I don't usually like to be the early adopter of the first batch of new products...always seems to be some sort of problem that pops up.

saying that i have brought htc desire and htc sensation on launch date and neither has had a problem. But i have heard stories of problems with new phones.
Lets hope htc have done enough testing on this one to make sure they are only little!
Well I probably won't be able to get a phone in march anyways, gotta wait for some other stuff to clear up so I'll have plenty of time to make my decision.

What specs do you want Samsung to announce?
The gap between HTC one X and the S3 was about 2 months.. Its less than a month this time around.
Not sure what you expect from Samsung.
Its almost certainly going to be'
5" , 1080p, 441ppi, 13mp camera, 2600mah battery, 1.9ghz S600 and 2gb ram.
The One looks great and I'm seriously considering getting it.. but I'll wait to see what Samsung has to offer...
Exactly. I read on gsmarena that the s4 will have a full 2.0 GHz processor. Guess we'll just have to see.

thats actually a pretty good point :good:
Odin rocks. It literally takes longer to download it and set it up than it takes to flash a recovery. There's no boot loader to unlock and you don't have to s-off.

Blind loyalty is dangerous. HTC rushed the launch of the One X and had tons of problems with it. The DNA/Butterfly seems to be faring better. An all-metal mobile device with multiple radios/antennas is a risky move. Every manufacturer that tried it before (including Apple) has had wireless issues. Based on that, victory rallies and celebration for both HTC and the One should be held off until after it’s been in people's hands for a few months. HTC’s never had any issues with hyping their devices but sometimes that hype has been ahead of the actual device/functionality. So the One could be a turning point for them (I hope it is) or its forum could light up with issues like the One X's did. It's way too early to call.
As for the SGS4. Samsung has a multi-billion dollar chip business and spends billions on R&D specifically for that division. To launch the SGS4 which should sell upward of 50MM units with a competitors SoC is asinine and that SoC would be used for a year's worth of production. Same thing applies to moving to LCD with their huge investment in AMOLED. For them to launch a "me too" device that mirrors the One and XZ would be marketing suicide and they know that. Most of the rumors everyone's picking up originated with Samfirmware which is hardly a reliable source based on their track record. If I was betting, I'd go with the SGS4 having a Samsung SoC and SAMOLED display in addition to other new features not on competitive phones. We'll see in three weeks.
yea i think we need to remind those defect figures were only in the first three months or so after a couple of month build quality picked up immensly
but BarryH is right, early adopters oftern burn
that being said, i think HTC experimented with the DNA/Butterfly well enough to prepare for this launch
this leaves the metal casing, i don't think anything can go awfully wrong just dont hug it and expect signal
There is one big difference to the One X launch
the One X was HTC's first polycarbonate unibody, in metal they are experts, and the One X was really rushed even shipped with freaky unfinished software, the HTC One seems to have been cooking for quiet a while and they are already pretty experienced with those chipsets
So many freaking amazing things about these phones. The decision is becoming waay tough.
