Considering moving to the SIII? Share your thoughts!

Hey everyone!
So as we all now know, the galaxy s III is coming to sprint by the 21st, and many of us are considering moving to the SIII for our upgrade. I personally hope to get one on the first when my upgrade hits. How bout u guys? Would u switch? Have u already decided? Why or why not? What r u most excited for? What will u miss from the NS4G? Any thoughts welcome!
I'm personally very excited to experience its speed, camera, and huge screen as primary things, with the other enhancements coming in second
How bout u?

Totally getting one through my work but I'm upset its not going to be the quad core version. North America got screwed out of that in favour of LTE speeds. Anyone know how the dual core will benchmark compared to the quad exoynos?

I pre ordered the gs3 within 5 minutes of sprint putting up the pre order page. So yes, I am getting excited about this phone. This is kind of unusual for me because I don't normally get excited over release dates.
I am looking forward to pretty much the same things as you. The big screen, more speed, 2gb ram and I miss the memory card slot I lost when coming to the ns4g.
There is really only one concern I have and that's with having to use Odin. I have many bad experiences with odin and even the thought of using it again gives me a little apprehension.
I can only hope I like the gs3 as much as I have the ns4g.

Just Flash It !!!

I ordered mine about 2 min after Skunk ape. I've never had an issue with Odin myself and consider it an advantage of the Galaxy phones.

Yea I hear ya, personally I've had great experience with Odin so I'm not too concerned about that...I haven't pre ordered the phone only cause my upgrade isn't till the first . The dev community should be great since it seems to be getting supercharged with some of the best of the xda community going to it . I'm going for pebble blue myself, the white seems too glossy and not elegant, I love the way the finish on the blue looks, but of course gotta see it first

I'd like one but no upgrade for me until November. If I can nab one off eBay for a good price, I'll buy one. Otherwise, I'll be using my Nexus until it fails.

Benchmarks are so close you won't notice a difference. The dual core used has wider cores to allow more information to be passed through. The quad core doesn't have that technology yet so we're actually better off. Plus better battery life

Yeah - I will also change my phone in a month or so.Nexus S is good but i think it is very slow and sluggish now due to ICS.I'll switch to GNex and save money for next nexus phone.

I'm going to hold off at least until the next nexus phones.

same here. my upgrade is not until aug & with the news that there will be 5 nexus phones... i think waiting to see the competition for a fresh jelly bean phone will be my best bet

My thoughts are touchjizz sucks and since sammy is sooo amazingly fast with updates and always releases their kernel source.
Haha, now that joke times over, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole!!!!

Galaxy S III!!!
I love my nexus s 4g ever since cyanogenmod 9 has a stable version my phone has not messed up too much. i experienced 2 random reboots in the last 3 weeks. battery life is good. I was gonna go with the galaxy note because of the 5.3' screen but since i seen the galaxy S III even though the screen is only 4.8' it's better than my 4' screen. another thing that snagged me was not that it's not gonna be dual core it's the fact that it's gonna be the first phone with 2gb of RAM it might be a little sacrifice from the quad core it was supposed to be released with. to me i think the galaxy S III will be a great phone. yes they have bugs but everyone knows the verry first set of phones will have issues. thank god my contract ends this november so this way i can save up get the $250 32gb version and only pay $50 with my $150 discount and also i will be able to get some accessories for it like the wireless charger because that is set to come out 3 months from now. since my contract ends in november i will be able to get it. another thing that got my attention to galaxy S III is that they use gorilla glass 2 on it so it can protect against cracks. And when i get the phone they might have better accessories released by then like cases skins and maybe the otter box. i used to own the htc evo 4g but i went through 3 of them cause i had the white one so sprint said at the corp. store do u want to wait until another evo 4 comes in or do you want to take the nexus s 4g so i took it and ever since i did i like samsung smartphones now the camera runs better and smoother than that crappy htc ones they suck. well this is my reason to switch to Galaxy S III i hope u liked it.

Haha what a response, but very realistic and full . Thanks for that! Tho I must warn you that actually with an upgrade it is 200 dollars, so unless ur getting 150 from selling ur nexus, don't expect ur upgrade to get it lower, since 199 is the price after applying upgrade numbers; outside upgrade it is higher than 500 dollars.
To respond to the one who asked about quadrant and speed in quad v dual, I've read many many reports on the issue and it seems that the snapdragon s4 coming to the U.S. actually tends to outperform the quad in most areas, proving that more isn't always better. Also the s4 is based on a newer chip architecture than the quad as another person mentioned earlier. This means not only do we get an edge in the whole technology and in speed, performance, etc, but we also get a nice battery boost vs the international version because 2 cores takes less to operate than 4, S4 is also more power efficient, and finally, we have a really nice battery not to mention 2gbs of ram, so I personally expect highly impressive battery results, even with it being an lte phone, since at launch lte will be off anyway, giving us the performance boost and battery boost of the dual core, newer s4, more ram, all on a highly loaded battery built to handle a quad or a dual with lte on.
Does that make sense? U see how its practically a win win for us?

I'm probably gonna hold off until the next Nexus device. I'm really curious as to what the next Nexus device will look like. Hopefully by then the prices will drop for the three year term (yes...I'm in Canada -_-).

I waited on the Nexus S and it ended up being a single core device with specs identical to the Galaxy S released about one month before the first dual core phones.
So I waited until MWC 2011 to see what the SGS 2 would look like, as I was excited for that. I wasn't let down, aside from the lack of resolution update. But no AWS for a long time and when the T-Mo version came out it wasn't even the same device anymore.
I got a cheap Nexus S and so I waited on Nexus Prime / Galaxy Nexus. It looked amazing externally, but internally the specs were anemic. Most of the performance gains were software based, and basic things like camera were a downgrade.
So I waited on SGS 3, thinking THIS WOULD BE IT. Nope.
It's literally an SGS2 HD with two extra cores and overclocked gpu. It also looks far inferior to the Galaxy Nexus and even the SGS 2 - not that I care about aesthetics much but glossy plastic? Really?? One X has it beat on display quality and aesthetics, but unfortunately lacks microsd, removeable battery and has inferior camera.
Software is something that both OEMs pimped, and would be the first thing I would remove.
Next Nexus device is that low cost Tegra 3 asus tablet coming next month, after that who knows? I want to see what the Sony "Mint" superphone is, as well as the first LG phone with their new 5" 1080p panel.
Once again, my "next phone" is another 4-6 months out.
Being techbeard is suffering.

Honestly all the specs we could've expected came in the s3 aside from things like flexible display, which were really not ready for production anyway. As for plastic design? See the blue, and hold it before you say it feels cheap. And it is far from an HD sgsii. Granted its not as far of a boost but we shouldn't have expected another amazing jump, nonetheless this is quite an uograde, and as u showed, the siii wins out because of things like removabale battery, tho build quality is generally better on htc, Samsung has an impressive galaxy track record not to mention the development aspects of being able to use odin vs struggling aginst s off

I thought a lot of jumping in the Galaxy S3 but my Nexus S4G still great so I'm just going to hold out for the next Nexus this late fall or winter & if sprint doesn't improve with this network vision I'm off to T-Mobile faster speeds with there Hspa+ I've been with Sprint for 10 years!! Back on subject the Galaxy S3 is going to be a great phone with tons of Roms remember this time all of the carriers Galaxies will be identical except a few things like radios & apps so it be great to develop & port things all have same name no more E4GT or S2 skyrocket just Galaxy S3 pick a color & carrier they will also have sane CPU, gpu 2gb ram identical

i used it in the showroom, its awesome .. go for it blindly

This or the One X, please help me decide

Hey everyone, first off I want to apologize for creating a topic like this. I have been reading up on both phones through website, reviews and topics here on XDA. I just cant seem to make up my mind.
The one X has no removable battery when the battery is 1800Mah which is pathetic considering I am running a 1900Mah in my outdated HTC Sensation. This is a big downside to me; the S3 has a 2100Mah battery which is removable which is a big plus. I was looking at both battery life threads for the international versions and both seem good though. Could you guys possibly comment on this?
The cpu and gpu's of both phones are also interesting. The Exynos seems better then the Tegra 3 and coming from a S3 powered Sensation I do not want another laggy phone.. Please comment on this, possibly a link to another topic if it was made before.
Memory is not a big issue for me, 32gb is plenty.
I heard that the screen on the One X is better and easier on battery life, is this true?
Last thing is development; I love flashing new Roms and have been spoiled with the Sensations awesome developers. Does the international S3 have great developers and if so which Roms are the most popular?
Thanks a ton guys!

Samsung galaxy s3 is the best phone

I came from the one x international. SG3 is better, the battery on the one x was a huge deal breaker for me, was pretty bad.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

If price isn't a concern, get the s3. Battery life is almost double that of the one x and the Cpu and gpu are faster. Combined with removable battery and sd card, it's a no brainer.
However if price is a concern, get the one x. It's about 20% cheaper. But it does have some serious problems with heat; the battery will frequently reach over 55 celcius and go into "overheat" status, potentially reducing the life of it.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy SIII via Tapatalk

Wow, that link has alleviated my fears of lackluster developer support thank you.
ratchetjaw you speak of multitasking, I understand that the S3 Lte has 2gb of ram, do you feel this is a necessary advantage? So much so that it is better to wait until the fall to purchase a new phone, when they have quad and 2gb?
Also, the lack of Lte on the international version; I myself never really cared for data speeds as 4g is fast enough for me. Do you deem the loss of this and a Gb of ram justifiable for the quad core Exynos?
Thanks!

Ask the same question in the one X forum, you will get a different response.
They are both excellent phones.
Considering software issues and heat are now resolved with the new base, the battery is also much better on the new kernel.
Software can be changed, the only things you can't change are the screen and the looks.
One X wins on both counts in my opinion, and I own both phones!
Plus the tegra 3 processor has a dedicated gaming development and is gonna get play station games shortly.
The new Google nexus 7 tablet is a tegra 3 processor, which means more tegra games are coming for sure. Also there probably is a good reason why Google are releasing their flagship tablet with nvidia cpu, versus the exynos.
In summary both are excellent phones but it comes down to personal preference and what looks visually more pleasing to your eyes.

Before the s3 got released I was going to get the one x but had a play with both phones in a shop and the s3 seamed to run better so got a s3

Hi I had the HTC one x for about 2 months I fought it was I great phone till I started to use it. The battery last me 6 hrs. I changed from iphone 4 to it. It was such a let down. Sold It and got a s3 best phone out of the 2. My s3 battery last me 15hrs. I stream and surf the net a lot fans the s3 last me 15hrs or if I not stream or surf it can last me about 18 hrs.
So just go for the s3 DON'T BUY HTC ONE X

I haven't had any multi tasking issues with the 1gb Ram on my s3. Htc did something to the One X that causes the issues
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

samsung galaxy s3 It works like a charm and my friend has the htc one x and it works good but the screen is very sensitive at the sides. So i have chosen for the s3 and till now i still dont have found a bug or something annoying at it

Personnaly, the fact that the S3 has an external sdcard slot made almost the difference so I bought one. But I recently had to buy a one x to and it is much nicier than the s3.
Reviewing their battery life, they are almost equal, even while playing games.

He said he used search, but he still wanted to ask... this is not dev's thread or anything and he asked politely about personal opinions (as it's not correct to just start flaming other's devices, but personal opinions are always all right!) Don't be so rude.
About the phone matter, I was in the situation 3 weeks ago and finally got the S3 and now I'm really happy with it If you come from a Sensation like me you'll go mad with battery life of S3 And not the positive way trust me xD Let me explain to others, Sensation had a TERRIBLE battery indicator, 100% lasted for about 3 hours, then major drain until 70%... 2 hours... 50% in 20 minutes! and so on... good battery life, but horrible indications!
As soon as I got my S3 I was like, damn! this is draining like hell! (80% at 13:00 unpluged at 07:00 with maybe 35 minutes screen...) but if you do the numbers and extrapolate this to a hole day... it comes to 16h and 2.5h screen time even with the poor reception I had!
Good choice for me

Is it worth to sell my Galaxy S3?

Hey guys!
Really excited about this phone, but here's my list of drawbacks.
1. No LTE (Not too big)
2. No Micro-SD (Kills a lot of it, but I can squeeze.)
3. No physical buttons means less screen estate :/
So with these problems present, I really want this phone because of the Quad Core A-15's and the Adreno 320.
So is it worth it to sell my GS3 for $450 CDN for a $379 Nexus 4?

Im in the same boat

Me too.

I have a international GS3, and I plan on selling it and honestly, I'm looking to get just enough to cover the cost of the N4. I don't I'll have a problem with getting $375-$400 out of it on craigslist, what do you guys think?

Add me to the list. Really want another nexus but the s3 with aokp is really good. Might be worth waiting on actual real world usage reviews before taking the plunge.

Not sure why you would? I have the ATT S3 with AOKP. LTE + SD Card + fast updates from our awesome devs. Its a nice phone, but why would you get it if you have an s3? What difference is the processor gonna make unless you play heavy games.
If you like the on screen buttons you can disable home + capacitive on your S3 and have the nexus style on screen buttons with a custom rom. And the s3 has a bigger screen.

Unfortunately, Nexus devices have always been about compromise, so you just have to ask yourself two things.
1. Do you need LTE?
2. Do you need more than 16gb of storage?
If you answered NO to both of these questions, preorder one with the rest of us!

I sold my sgs2 skyrocket for 250 like 4 months ago. Really depends on who you get but idk.

Sitting on these forums trying to make the same decision. I turned off lte on my gs3 to see if I could manage and realized my lte connection was terrible where I live and only slightly better where I work compared to att HSPA+
Every aosp ROM I install has a volume bug (apperantly happens in some phones and not others) otherwise I'd be on it now.
Direct updates would be awesome. I'm on contract for another 1.5 years with att, so I'm not saving money going to straight talk without paying an etf.
I've realized I only use 600mb or my 3gb plan, so using the cloud won't be a big deal.
I have a feeling like I'll get the nexus 4 and then need LTE or the extra space and completely regret my decision.

i love my GS3 im keeping it..will get the N4.. when the time comes ill give my GS3 to my mom/dad/sis
such great phones.. plus you will get lots of dev support on N4

The storage is a bit of a problem, seeing as I do like to have lots of stuff. But 16GB's gonna be enough. 5GB Music, 3GB Apps, 2GB OS = 6 still free .
As for LTE, I barely use it because of my data cap and the horrible battery drain it has.
As for the processor, I like to future proof my device, and with Quad Core A-15's and the Adreno 320, this thing is gonna be a beast.
I do love the design, black on black with the glass finish.

in my opinion, for the price and the "nexus" tag, this phone is more than worth it. it destroys the s3 and oneX

Thinking about these 3 phones

Hi, I was thinking about either getting these phones for T-Mobile:
LG Optimus G
Nexus 4
HTC One X
Which one do you guys think is the best one for the price? I don't really care about features, just the specs (But they're pretty much the same)
Because I play a lot of high-end games and stuff. yea.
Thanks in advance

Personally I'd go with the Nexus 4.
In terms of Specs the Nexus 4 and the LG Optimus G are literally the same device, I believe the LG Optimus G has a higher resolution camera but the Nexus 4 has a higher quality camera.
The One X might be slightly better for gaming because it has a tegra 3 but from my experience it makes the general android experience feel sluggish outside of gaming.
The Nexus 4's gpu keeps up well enough (assuming it doesn't beat it, I haven't checked benchmarks purely speaking from experience), and you get a vastly superior android experience.
On top of that there's the "feature" that the Nexus 4 will always have the latest version of android, but if you prefer Sense over AOSP that might be another reason to get the One X.

There's also a 16GB version. If that's a concern the Nexus 4 probably isn't right for you.

There is a 8GB and a 16 GB version and no micro SD slot. It's a toss up, it depends what you want. Sometimes you can't have everything, you have sacrifice something. The micro SD slot which the Nexus 4 doesn't have does not bug me. 16 GB is enough for me. I don't listen to music on my phone nor do I store videos such as movies and stuff, got a mp3 player for that. I'd rather get the fast updates from Google and stock Android.
It all depends on you OP. What DO YOU want?

Hi, I was thinking about either getting these phones for T-Mobile:
LG Optimus G
Nexus 4
HTC One X
Which one do you guys think is the best one for the price? I don't really care about features, just the specs (But they're pretty much the same)
Because I play a lot of high-end games and stuff. yea.
Thanks in advance

I sold my One X for my N4. I left that beautiful camera and LTE for this bad boy. Don't regret it at all.

Nexus 4, plain and simple. ASOP is the best android, no question. The nexus 4 will get all the latest versions of android faster then any other phone on earth. Its the best phone if you want the best android experience. Don't worry about storage either, 16GB is actually a very decent amount.

I don't have a soul. I have an N4. Go for it.

My one x got stolen recently, and it forced me to get a new phone. I bought a nexus 4, and I need to say that nexus 4 is a God in comparision with one x much smoother, runs cooler and has much better battery life. Don't think about one x, if you've got a chance, get a nexus straight away

When i was first looking at the N4 as an option i was worried about not having a SD slot, but have now been using my N4 for almost a month now and I still have 9GB free on the phone
BTW the nexus 4 that T-mobile is 16GB which is decent imo and my only other worry was not having the LTE on it but the HSPA+ is pretty damn good here where i live i see 7mb-15mb down which im also happy with , this phone is by far the best phone i have had in the last 5 years .

Correct me if I'm wrong but getting a HTC One X is rather difficult, isn't it? It stayed very few months on the market and got superseded by the One X+. The one X+ has a bigger battery and comes with 64Gig onboard. I saw very good deals for that bad boy recently. If you don't mind messing your hands with Custom ROMs, the One X+ and AOSP Android should be a sweet combination.
However, stock-by-stock, the N4 would be the winner. I think the only points where the One X+ would win over the N4 are onboard memory and that curved Gorilla screen. I just love the way the One X series look

The HTC One X lags while playing Need For Speed Most Wanted, Moderm Combat 4 and some games

HTC One vs LG G2

I have a few questions regarding both phones. I have the HTC One right now. Is the difference between the Snapdragon 800 and 600 noticeable? What about the display differences? Which software UI is better and has more features? What about camera software and hardware? Would you recommend upgrading to the G2 or waiting for the next gen of phones?

S800 battery efficient g2 has great standby time screen you could still give to the one ,on software front its no major lag issues ,if you could you can wait for M8☺

Yeah, I can wait for sure. I am in no need for a new phone, but I was just looking to see if the LG G2 is worth the upgrade. The M8 is something that I probably will not buy because HTC is not great with its battery life. I am actually buying an external battery case for it just to cope with the bad battery life.

I have owned both phones. Currently own the G2. There's no noticeable difference between S800 and 600 in day to day usage but there is in gaming since they use different GPUs. Software UI is a matter of preference. I like the look of sense UI better and love blinkfeed but prefer the features LG offers like knock on, slide aside and the customizability. The G2 has definitely the superior camera. I think the HTC One is more fluid though I must say. At this point I would say wait for the next gen, you have a great phone in your possession.

Okay, for the next gen, here are the phones I would look at: Galaxy S5, HTC M8, iPhone 6, Galaxy Note 4. Which one would you go with based off their track record? And could you see Samsung using their 64 bit chipset with 4GB of RAM on the S5 or more likely on the Note IV based off the news reports yesterday?

IMO wait for the next gen. Lg is a fantastic phone but there is no need to upgrade to LG g2 if you already have the one. I think you are better served with waiting until the next gen of phones.

In all honesty, all these 4 devices you mentioned are gonna be insane. I can't wait to see what happens. The Galaxy S5 is gonna be insanely powerful and probably will have that 64bit chipset you're talking about. The HTC M8 is gonna be based off the One but better with better internals. Quality at it's best. The iPhone 6 is expected to have a larger display. I'm really looking forward to that since it's their "major upgrade year". Then the Note 4 which will be the most powerful device of them all but i personally am no longer a fan of HUGE display. You can add on that list the LG G3. I'm currently using the G2 and I love it, eager to see what LG is gonna bring. 2014 is gonna be one heck of a year. If I had to choose a device right now it'll be the Galaxy S5. I think Samsung understand that customers want a phone with a nice design and choice of material. And I think touchwiz is gonna be revamped.

Yeah, I think I would agree with you on the S5. I was thinking that can be my item I buy for myself around my birthday since I could scrap money together by then to put a downpayment w/ T-Mobile USA or someone else. The iPhone needs more RAM to truly take advantage of its current chipset. The Note is impressive, but the device is going to get blown out in a few months.

I got my G2 a few days ago and in very satisfied with it. It's an extreme device for its price. It's crazy to see how fast the development is going but I don't regret getting the g2 so late. Anyway I came from an iPhone 4 so it's a huge upgrade anyway.

Yep. But knowing myself I will own them all.
Samsung MUST succeed with this S5 cause HTC is not playing anymore, they are releasing quality devices from now on. And LG is a great choice for people that don't like Samsung phones so there are more and better choices now then ever before. And the S4 didn't do as good as Samsung anticipated. So they are gonna go big with this S5. It's pretty much a given that it won't be plasticky like before and that performance is gonna be stellar.

My cousin even chose the HTC One over the S4. It just looked like a bigger S3 with a better screen, more bloatware, lag, new software features, etc. I would take a S4 for HTC One trade straight up, but only for resale value, but that's not really something I seek right now since I will probably keep my HTC One regardless of my next phone. I just hope they don't pull the Apple stunt and use the Note III properitary charger and region lock phones. I would also like the S5 to have a good look with metal and still retain the SD card slot. Time will tell in March and then April is the big release month.

Galaxy F is the next big thing it seems.

What is this Galaxy F? F for Five?

My buddy is upgrading his One with a G2. His notification light is very dim, he blew out the speaker on the One without it even being at max volume, and is just tired of all the mistakes HTC keeps making as a company in general.
I feel bad for him, he was a big HTC fan since the days of the EVO 4G, and I know that feeling, coming from an original Droid myself... Having loyalties to Motorola.
But it's the future now and Samsung has a huge advantage in the mobile world at this point, making them the next Apple. Not being a fan of HTC myself, and getting fed up with Motorola time and again... LG was the most logical step to take. And G2 is a beast of a phone. Last time I checked, it even beat out the Note 3 in benchmarks in AnTuTu. And it gets me through an entire day of pretty intense use. All while still having a beautiful display, super thin bezel, awesome features (such as Knock On), and enough third party development to keep my flashing needs satisfied.
