Thanks for us info bro
This is the first tablet news that has excited me since the 7.7 was announced!
It does "sound" tempting. But if the iPad Mini is in its sights then the price point will be the determining factor. IF they bring it to market at $400 or thereabouts...(depending on how Apple prices the "new Mini")....it'll fly off the shelves. Much more and only we "tech whores" are the likely customers.
The masses focus on price first and foremost. We small minority on specs. IMO of course.
I don't understand why it won't have a stylus. Even the 7. 7 would be complete if it only had a stylus like the s Pen. Also why not keep it at 7.7 just have a smaller bezel

The idea is probably to increase screen area without increasing the device's footprint, like they did with the S3 --> S4.
No stylus as not to step on the note 8s feet, but I feel samsung lost a good opportunity here, could have waited and released the note 8 with the full HD amoled screen.
Issue is, if the battery is too small then no go for me, I don't need a device that paper thin, up to 8-9mm is fine for me, as long as that extra space is used for a larger battery. I also hope this new amoled tab comes with better materials than the current tabs and samsung products, plastic is not nice and feels cheap, and looks cheap on the current samsungs.
If they make this with Amoled screen will be Killer..
One thing they should do is make it read NTFS format from stock.
Also adding a USB Host OTG port to the chassis would be a good feature...
Maybe
Sammobile has been speculating a Tab 3 8.0", and it seems that will have a AMOLED.
That would be nice, even more if its FULL HD.

Note 8 is not a proper successor to our beloved 7.7. I wish Samsung comes up with one soon.
Well had a good look at the new unreleased Note 8.0 in Hong Kong today..Looks good only tiny bit bigger than my 7.7
Showed the samsung guys my 7.7 running PA 3.15 and they couldnt believe when they looked at it and saw 4.2.2 version lol...
If it has Super amold screen then i think it will be killer.its running 4.1.2 out of the box.
was told it running qualcom processor not emmc..
asked about if it will Brick and they didnt know what i meant! lol...
either that or they avoided that question..
I'd say that the "successor" to the P6800 is the upcoming N5100 model. That's the Note 8.0 with GSM dialing capability. I'd like to see the smaller 7.7 form factor updated since it's more easily pocketable, but if my P6800 died I'd consider the new one. Negri is taking pre-orders now.
Well it's not going to be th Tab 3 either, based on specs. What is Samsung waiting for?

It wont come. Super amoled plus has some brand power as it is samsung works, but admittedly pls lcd or ips are taking over with more market share. Amoled save power when display black but guess what, it also consume more power when display white, the same in reverse order with lcd. It makes them even. But nowaday most websites are bright colour, so it is easy advantage for lcd. So another amoled device from samsung wont come.

Another advantage Amoled has is visibility in direct sunlight. This is what tips amoled for me. I don't want to go back to lcd or something that I cannot view in sunlight.
No thats wrong. Amoled has better contrast and seems to be more colourful, but in terms of visibillity under sun light, lcd clear win (cause they use led lcd and consume more power). Its hard for amoled to see under sunlight but it is more colorful so thats a fake effect you got. Try under direct bright sunlight, amoled surely lose

Yep Amoled under direct sunlight is unwatchable even with brightness turned all the way up.

I just wanted to say that I dislike the trend of manufacturers making bigger displays. First jump was to 4.3" , then 4.5" and now we see a new HTC with 4.7".
In my opinion. Screen sizes above 4" becomes unpractical.
I love my Samsung Galaxy S. And the 4" is a reasonable size (since its light and slim).
I just want to encourage Samsung not to follow this stupid trend and hope that their future versions (sgs3?) will go back to 4" or even maybe smaller.
I almost agree, I think the sgs2 is just about as big a screen as I would like to see, any larger is impractical. If we wanted a NotePad, we'd buy one

Well technically the Samsung Galaxy Note is known to have 5.3 inches screensize so I guess they already went on the war to make the hybrid between 7 inch tablet and the smartphones.

I won't be buying a tablet, so I'd consider the Samsung Note. yes it's big, but some people carry a tablet and a phone anyway and this is a lot more compact than that option.
Anyway no one has to buy anything they don't like; Samsung is still making phones in different sizes.
Personally although I like 4" when used as a phone, I find it too small for browsing, gps and games. In this regard the note is a nice size. If I don't get a note, I'd be happy up to 4.5" for phone along with big bump in resolution.
They don't make it as 4.3"-4.5" unless most people like them, so as long as they make sgs3 as 4.3" or bigger if they see it sell best then that is their good decision.
You can wait your smaller screen for other phone than samsung galaxy s!

Once ics comes out the soft keys will be gone, so it will just fill in. So generally same size but less bezel and wasted space.
Think Tony Starks phone as eventual endpoint. Probably not see through though.

I just wish I will have enough money saved around April, May 2012 (my contract ends then) to get the Galaxy Note which in my opinion is a marvel, the only problem would be finding a leather pocket type case for it but for my usual use of mostly browsing and chatting and some video watching along with casual gaming it will be quite nice at 5.3" yet for phone calls I think I will have to get a BT headset to feel comfortable.
I absolutely LOVE this trend, That's long been one of my biggest wishes regarding smartphones!
I even tried to replace my then smartphone with the Galaxy Tab but it didn't fit the fanny pack that I *always* use. A 5.5"/6" smartphone would be ideal for me and I will definitely change my Galaxy S for the Galaxy Note as soon as it's out and off its peak launch price!
I think we'll see 4.5" in a similar size as the SGS with a much smaller bezel in the near future. I've seen R&D on more digitizers that will reduce the need for space on the one side (right now top or bottom has the digitizer support stick out 1/4" or so from the screen).
I agree 5" could even work with a headset, I use the wired one that came with my SGS it's fine. It wouldn't be for everybody but my pocket could hold a 5" device with a small bezel (and preferably a rounded back) just fine.
No **** jokes yet? I am impressed.
I prefer the screen size of the S II. A lot of times the screen of galaxy S just feels a little too small.
knowledge is Power. Guard it well.

I hope that they make a 4" and the 5.3". Between the two, the person should be able to choose. And hopefully the hardware is the same that you don't lose out by buying the screen. You can charge extra for the extra screen space but don't cheap out on the processor etc.
well for me ill stay till the new phone tht has rumored news of 4.5'' ,2ghz quadcore,very slim.i started wiv nokia the brick phone wiv antenna an tht was some dream phone those times everyone likd it tht way(no hightek)but i an all moved we never stickd to one piece atleast in my case..so its all abt style an future..may b soon wll use some holograph chip instead of touch phones
Agree with op, ideally I'd like a sgsIII which is same size as orig sgs, but with a screen the full size of phone. Shame it won't happen.......

Now that the iPad 3 has been announced, it is only a matter of time before Samsung unveils this year's successor to the Tab 10.1. One of the features I have loved about the 10.1 since I bought it last June is its comfortable ergonomic form factor and understated black bezel.
The faux-metallic backing provides just the right amount of traction for secure handling with my finger tips. Also, the round beveled edge always feels comfortable in my palms unlike the sharp tapered edge of the iPad 2. I also appreciate that Samsung forwent any logo on the bezel, making the screen stand out without any distractions.
While I am excited at the prospect of a higher resolution screen and a much faster processor, I am hopeful that Samsung is able to retain the solid black bezel and form factor of their original design because I really have not felt a more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing tablet than the Tab 10.1.

It is out of topic but ipad 3 is sh#t . Talking about the new tab I think it will have either a black bezel or a metal body like the 7.7 tab samsung stopped producing devices with shiny plastic that easily scratced even out of box

Unfortunately the black bezel is here to stay for the moment I'm affraid. There is many limitation i can think of in having no bezel
1. No place to hold on to. Your finger print will be all over the edge of the screen.
2. You dont want to put constant pressure on the screen surface when holding it. A bezel avoid this problem.
3. There need to be a fancy program that distinguish a touch and your hand holding the tablet.

I agree. The beauty of the original 10.1 is its understated design without any flashy logo on the front or speakers poking out from the sides.
I use my tablet in portrait mode just as often as in landscape. A blank bezel with flush, uniform edges provides you an undistracted view of what you want to be looking at: the screen.
i love the look of my galaxy tab 10.1 wifi but I saw recent display models at bestbuy with the Samsung logo on front~ it's not the same;I hope the new tab is without the logo.
What color is the new Samsung logo? If there has to be a logo, I would prefer a subtle dark gray.
Currently a Galaxy Nexus user since June (Galaxy Note before that), and I'm wondering if there are any plus points for the Galaxy Nexus apart from the removable battery?
I think there are other threads like this in the Q&A might want to look there . I cant think of any other plus points for the GNex though.
Well you might have gotten used to the AMOLED displays. Nexus 4 IPS LCD display isn't pentile and slightly denser so it is technically better but can't match the true blacks of AMOLED.
Most reviews say it is. But don't upgrade for the sake of upgrading. If you are perfectly happy stay (you are still guaranteed one more OS update), but if you find yourself cursing the device, check out the N4.

From Techradar:
"When you're looking at icons on a black background (like in the app drawer), you can't even see the black, if that makes sense. It is so deep, that icons just float."
Win.
The pogo pin-based desktop and car docks are a big plus for the Galaxy Nexus, IMHO.
The GN is a piece of turd compared to the N4...sell it, it would net you around $150 on Gazzell, add the difference and get the new thing.

I've compared the AMOLED displays to IPS, the One X's to be precise, and IPS LCD looks sooo much better. The AMOLED displays make everything look slightly blue, so when I had anything white opened, it always looked blue.
Not gonna sell the GNex but will get a nexus 4 as soon as it's out.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Yea the whites and blacks on the IPS display are just about unmatched. On my gnex even with custom kernels the display was still jacked up looking. Stock was like a puke yellow and a good kernel was like a light bluish white. Never could get it white and or black. The s3 color reproduction was a lot better. But the IPS display still kills it in natural looking colors and the closest color reproduction to real life colors. Everything just pops
Yes, it is an upgrade!
Mainly, the hardware: internals, screen, etc... but over all, the build quality. I'm never buying a Samsung phone again. That maybe a little rash, but, that is how I feel at the moment.
worth the upgrade for me.. i bought the gnex in june also, but just sold it for $300. I lost about $70 bucks for the upgrade, but im sure it'll be well worth it

I don't know about you guys, but after watching the keynote with the flexible displays (44minute mark) and octocore CPU presentation I feel like I am in some sci-fi movie. I can't believe they made the flexible display so quickly and that it is so flexible. It's mindblowing! The concepts that they are showing are simply amazing.
For anyone who missed this awesome presentation this is a must watch:
Do you think the Galaxy S4 / Note 3 will get both flexible displays and octo cores?
"Do you think the Galaxy S4 / Note 3 will get both flexible displays and octo cores?"
500% that it wont get. S4/note3 will get full hd amoled and exynos 5 series, S5/Note4 should get octa+flexible.
I have remember first samsung hd amoled screens for note 1, they have released too early without proper testing. Who had note 1, they will know about black color ugly issue. But yeh this is innovation ;D samsung all the way
Don't be so skeptical. I think our Note2s will get flexible displays with a software update to Android 5.0

If I was at Samsung, I would not risk putting flexible displays to any galaxy phone of 2013 bcz so far its just an eye candy concept, no one knows how it will behave once it reaches in the hands of end users, so why risk the galaxy s4 and galaxy note 3? Samsung should first launch it as a seperate samsung galaxy phone and check how the market trend goes, if its really successful, then they can start putting it from 2014 galaxy series.

Um in case if any one didn't notice but the flexible screen is actually bulkier than current amoled in my opinion.
It requires that brick like aparratus attached to one side. If you look at the phone they made it's so thick. if they really wanted to, phone companies can make a smaller phone and add a small strip of screen on the side so you can view storing when the phone cover is closed.
In fact, the thickness may be needed anyways to support touch with the flexible screen.
IMHO only
And the commercial they made was clearly cgi. It looked amazing but I still don't think you can bend youm at sharp angles or have it roll out straight without metal support to keep it from curving.
Oh snap! I don't have a witty tapatalk signature!
that's incredible. another few years for mass production?
What one should understand is it should be flexible. ..it is not going to be card thin. .... the screen will help it being shatter proof. ... though how the impact energy will be transferred to other parts of phone is also important. . .that's all needed for this year. .
.... .paper thin screens are for future

I've never used an AMOLED screen until I saw the Galaxy S4 but it does look really nice and the blacks are unbelievable. However, almost every reviewer and person I talk to says how AMOLED is garbage and that LCD is by far better.
Does anybody actually prefer AMOLED to LCD?
Well... everyone in this forum lol.
AMOLED is better since it can be set to look like LCD (color-wise). LCD can't be like AMOLED no matter what.
