Anandtech Benchmarks - WHAT A BEAST - Galaxy S III General

103 FPS = Nuff Said
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5811/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-preview
edit: my favorite comment, "it Can play Crysis daaaam" lol

yep the sgs 3 is king in terms of hardware but i must admit it doesnt score as high in the looks department. still cant wait to get this phone.

Only the back panel looks bad, apart from that its good
#*posted on the move *#

yeah I agree guys, I think we were expecting too much tho with all that hype lol. I think once we actually get to hold that phone, we'll realize how nice it actually is.

I think many felt disappointed initially because of the extreme pre-release hype. Just look at the beast again

I think it looks pretty dope and i can't wait to get it I love touchwiz on ics since I think that holo/tron theme looks horrible. I didn't see in any video how the lockscreen shortcuts works thou?

Well, I gotta admit I'm a bit disappointed with the outer appearance, but that can change if I get a hold of it and try it first hand. I have owned some PCs which has fugly casing but high end innards, I can make do with that ugliness if it has this kind of performance.

Concept Phone

Check out this android concept phone:

Saw this on another site I think that is the single coolest thing I have ever seen. Now what would be even cooler would be that Sprint is unveiling this with David Blane on the 7th. Oooohhhhhh I can see it now in my dreams.

really cool but doubt it ever gets built
I'd buy it.
The video have a great message as well..just saying.
Wow, bad ass looking. I'd buy it *nod*

Phones are starting to remind me of Gillette razors now. Instead of "let's see how many blades we can stick on there" it's screens.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I thought that the reason the Nexus S didn't have Gorilla Glass was because it was curved. The concept was really amazing. I liked the obvious 3 screens, but being able to change the color of the lights at the edge, being able to swipe between screens, and being able to swipe between phones was pretty impressive.
I was also impressed with the video. It had a good message, plus, it looked like a real phone, I wouldn't be surprised if someone took this and thought it was an actual device.
Agreed, I really like it. Not too sure about the shape but it seems to work in a very functional and practical way.

Id consider one if it was a huge improvement over the original, but its truly not.
If they release the Evo Tab I'll pick one up, I dropped my Archos a couple weeks ago anyway.

I'm expecting an iPad2 for work sometime next week. I design accessories for it, so having a new one would certainly help in the design of those accessories
I watched the videos of the ipad 2, galaxy tab 10.1, and the xoom. I prefer android, so I will get that out of the way first. Watching ui transitions and video of the built in back camera, I was surprised to see that the ipad seemed smoother. I was looking for dropped frames and jerky movement from both video and ui.
I recently opened a netflix account and I am disappointed that there is nothing for android yet. I don't think that would be the only reason I might get a tablet but watching streaming or local movies and videos would definitely be things I would want to do.
I don't have the money to blow on those kind of toys right now, but it doesn't hurt to dream. Besides, the upcoming summer super phones are what I will be spending my money on. I miss the beautiful display from the epic. How about an super amoled tablet screen? Ohh ahh! Even though the colors aren't true like in real life, my eyes love that screen candy.

sgs 2 tmobile pics. looks almost like the vibrant.

http://www.tmonews.com/2011/08/samsung-and-t-mobile-announce-the-galaxy-s-ii-coming-this-fall/
800x480 on 4.52 inch display is a no go... . Nexus 3/Prime should worth the wait.
Agreed, too big of a screen for that resolution imho. Waiting for the Prime... but I heard that is coming to Verizon So I will have to wait the the Nexus 3 if that is the case.
I thought it has a 4.3 screen and the Sprint version has a 4.5 screen?
Either way, I want it.
I'm not worry about the screen resolution. Super AMOLED Plus technology can increase subpixels up to 50% to display sharper images, richer videos, and crisper text. I read many reviews and such as Cnet, they prefer Super AMOLED Plus screen. Larger screen size is better to my eyes. I still would go with T-mobile SGS II. Just my opinion. Great news anyway.
Why is it sprint has a date and tmo lags behind again. Vibrant has been and still is a great phone .....but I'm now getting bored!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
see more pictures
Also, because of T-mobile's desire to support 42mbps they will likely be using a Qualcomm processor. This is sort of annoying considering Gingerbread (and likely ICS) will be developed for Samsung chips first. With the purchase of Motorolla there may be more equal support than we saw with Froyo, but still, I'd prefer the Samsung chip.
Is this the so call Hercules????
Yes. Sadly, being this fat, its Hercules after back surgery and a long bout of depression...

becuase the screen is muc bigger but resolution is still the same as the vibrant 800x480.... and a screen is .5 bigger! thats a big difference.... that sucks how a small tiny iphone has a really sharp resolution... you would think samsung would at least try to compete a lil bit or improve on resolution since 800x 480 is pretty old already
Ok guys, T mobile version does not have exynos processor. Sheesh! I am not upgrading to this. Gonna wait.

The one thing that I LOVE about it is the true multitasking....I literally had 65+ apps running in background most were games(gta3,shadow runner, battlefield bad company, real racing,etc) this thing WOULDNT!!! Slow down and bearly got warm. And still managed to get a 6000+ antutu score. This phone is a beast!!!! Oh yeah and I was watching our little mini movie player all the while. :-D
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I concur sort of
It would be only more perfect if it were the 4x Exynos but I'll take what I can get. It's a fantastic device all around. I haven't played with the One X so I can't say that it's the best ever, but it's certainly the best I've ever used which almost covers all of them. One of these days these devices aren't going to be loaded with any bloatware and I'll be tempted to not root it. They'll also all be updated all at the same time, and we'll all travel by way of unicorn.
Meh its ok nothing to write home about I see no big difference I actually like Nexus better. I had a note, nexus, one x, and now gs3. Resolution is nice but build quality is crap on it.

Build quality is a preference to me for any phone I own. The build on s3 is nice to me, but I did grab a few cases for protection.
Edit: this isn't a perfect phone we'll probly never see one, but to date, the s3 is the best android around overall aside from build quality to some

I love this phone. Came from a DROID x then rezound and this is by far better. I don't know what people are complaining about build quality. What do you even want a metal phone that blocks reception? Or an iphone mDe of all glass that is that much more fragile? I love the build of it.

Agreed. I had a GS1, and I have used a GS2, Gnote, and Gnex and they all feel the same. Like solid plastic. Maybe not tank like compared to HTC but they still feel good. This one does feel softer yes but that's due to the round corners, smooth back, and tapered screen. The back might seem a little more prone to scratches as it's smooth like the GS1 back covers whereas the GS2 and GNEX have textured rear covers. The good news is that replacements are cheap. It does feel light, but I think that's a good thing. My Bionic feels like a brick, but that doesn't trick my brain into thinking it's built better.
not a fan of the phone anymore. Ill probably sell it when the next big thing will be out.
Samsung messed up big time with the NA version:
No quad core
No Sony Cmos sensor
No Wolfson audio chip
Add to this, terrible build quality, the phone is extremely fragile and the Super amoled screen is not that great.

Has it been absolutely determined that the GS3 doesn't have the Wolfson DAC? I'm still coming across posts that say it does have it? One even referred to a very professional sounding news article stating all US version GS3's had the Wofson DAC?
Either way I really like this phone. I started my smartphones with a HTC TouchPro2 and ran MightyRom on it for a year. It was good, heck at the time I thought it was really good! Then jumped to the OG Epic4G. That jump in quality was amazing! Night and day the Epic was such a nice phone, I think it's what sold me on Sammy phones. The step up to the Epic Touch wasn't nearly as drastic, but still a nice improvement. Similar to the step to the GS3, not drastic, but a nice improvement in a few ways.

Just played with the Z...

I must say, it certainly feels great in the hand! Premium feel like a certain fruity phonemaker's phones, not the cheap plastic of a certain Korean brand... The screen is gorgeously crisp, viewing angles are good, and the gaming and video playback is smoooooth
For those in singapore, there are 2 Z demo units at the Wisma Sonystyle.
Sv: Just played with the Z...
It doesnt feel too big? I plan on getting this, instead of my iPhone 4. It's quite a jump from 3.5" to 5". Though I used to have an HD2, so it might just be a question of getting used to a much larger display.
Sent from my SGPT12 using xda app-developers app
I have a Nexus 4 which is a 4.7, the difference to a 5 will be minimal... most people I know that had iPhones and moved to larger Android devices had no complaints about it. Indeed quite the opposite...
The bets course of action is to go to a Sony store and see how it works for you.
