Yes! It's that galaxy s pro what were rumored long time a ago, but I haven't heard nothing of it for while.
But I guess rumors of Galaxy S Pro are alive again! I would love to have a QWERTY.
Since my current X1 has it and I would be missing it if I go for Galaxy S, but if the pro is rly coming out?
It also looks damn hot, better than Galaxy S. Actually it doesnt look nothing like galaxy s.
Anyway nothing info yet has been announced. But what do you guys think? Could it be PRO-model?

first. it looks like a real phone hehe
but yes you're right doesn't look much like the i9000
I like the keyboard layout, looks professional, numbers are on top like a real keyboard.
I like the front because it has more buttons than the i9000. but we'll see what it really is =D

Oooh looks nice. Full keyboards are pretty useful i have to admit, but i find em too cumbersome.
On the other hand, the phone being so slim and light, i'd like to see what it feels like, i like to feel that the phone is there and feels real and not light plastic.

LED FLASH. Also 4G (maybe).
I'm still not getting it, though (I...I just can't wait any longer....)

not bad
very nice phone, not sure about the back though. and I don't like the sprint sign xD
(can't they flip the pictures haha instead of having us twist our necks xD)
I love the front just like i love the front of i9000

I don't think this is "Galaxy S Pro". Seems totally a different phone.
However, the screen seems smaller , no Touchwiz? , a Yellow for FN key (Seriously?). No T-Mobile!?
I guess, I will have to wait more than I though for getting the right Android phone for me...

Gotta agree with S.p.x, doesn't look anything like what I would expect. The styling has no commonality with the Galaxy S.

Could be the US version of the Wave 2 Pro.
Linky

I dont think it looks anything like the Wave 2 either. The Wave 2 Pro image's look distinctly Samsung like with a clean layout, consistent keyboard and the familiar squared chrome edged camera lens on the back.
The original pic just looks like a mish-mass of bit cobbled together without any consistency.

Maybe this is just another sad, sorry example of what happens when providers do their own customization and "value-add"

I believe it is running Android not Bada OS so I don't think it's the Wave at all! (but yes this is TouchWiz, notice the small blue icon for the battery and the 4 static icons on the side)
the Wave looks completely different.
The touch sensitive buttons on the phone are typical Android.
Has nothing to do with Wave.
Also the pictures posted say Galaxy S.
New Samsung phones:

Loving the Beam

if this is exactly like the galaxy s it but just with the addition of the led flash and the keyboard then i will definitely get this beauty ... i do not really care if it is 0.5 cm bigger due to the keyboard but the led flash would be fantastic.
its also a good thing for the average galaxy s users, because if two phones are build on the same android firmware (which is very likely) its more likely that we will get more recent updates

expansys has them in stock now .... but too bad its the end of the day.

they have i9000 not samsung galaxy s pro

Use the front-facing camera much?
So I'm in the USA, and I see a Galaxy S-like device called the captivate coming to AT&T...
I see the AT&T version has no flash and no front-facing camera. Does anyone use the front-facing camera much? If so, what for? Self pics/mirror or actual video conversations?
Any other differences between the Galaxy S (as on Samsung's web-site) and the Captivate?
Thanks,
Manos

Depends on your situation whether you'll be using the front-facing camera for video chats or whatnot. I personally wouldn't use the front camera for much since not many people I know have front facing cameras, too and I don't really care for it.
The only difference we can see so far is a different phone design, missing front camera, and apparently the AT&T version gets a gyroscope/six-axis motion sensor aimed at gaming. The AT&T version is also a 16gb base handset but you can add a microSD card for a maximum of 32gb.
Overall, I'm looking forward to the AT&T version although I'm bummed they scrapped the front-facing camera because of principle (Competition is too close for iPhone).

What power widget is that in the center?

ooh..no led notifications??
i was expecting the little strip above the word samsung to have leds??

Actually the phone has 384000 tiny LEDs. Do you want more?
Now seriously: Since AMOLEDs only consume energy when used, it would be great if the screen (in standby) could show some small visual notification. Are you listening Samsung?

[Guide] How to tell if you have screen bleeding

This is easy as you can see above around the edges there is light spilling in.
so just open this image below crank on your tablet up the brightness and go somewhere dark.

So I now know I have screen bleeding. Not as bad as the one in that photo though.
Would Vodafone replace it? Would it effect the life of the screen?

Vodafone have to replace it.
But they probably don't have any that don't suffer this defect.
Unsure about screen life, it shouldn't but it might.

What I want to know is why so many of these have screen bleeding. I feel like Samsung just didn't care when distributing this tablet, and wants to put their focus on the 10.1

Well I know that when my friends iPhone was insured with Optus and then stolen they replaced it with an iPhone 4.
If we waited till the release of the galaxy tab 10.1 maybe they would replace it with that?

Trade practices act will protect us on this:
They will have to fix it or replace it with something of equal or greater value (Which means the cannot give us a device like the P1000 and say fixed) & fit for purpose (The cannot just hand us a nexus S and say now go away)
In terms of exchange it depends on a couple of factor:
1. Only pluasable if Vodafail stock the new 10.1/8.9 (if there not getting it they cannot exchange it)
2. Samsung cannot fix this (if samsung can manuafacter a fix for this then we will get it fixed)
3. Vodafail don't decide it's not a real issue (It will get taken imidiatly to the ombinsmen if this does happen)

It just wasn't quality tested correctly, apple are the most comman offenders of this but other companys do make these mistakes once in a while hopefully it will get fixed.
We shouldn't make a big deal over it untill we know it's not getting fixed.
Also devices i own that suffer from screen bleeding now i know what it is and how to look for it.

Screen blemish/burn - Take a look!

Hi all,
Recently purchased an International S3 on a Vodafone UK contract.
I was surfing the internet last night and noticed a rather odd mark had appeared on the screen.
Think I might have to send it back as the mark will not disappear and is very noticable on a white background.
It also shows up on all the Red, Green and Blue screen tests in the service menu.
What do you think? The mark is on the bottom left edge!

I agree

Hi guys,
Sent this back to Samsung today. Got to be without the phone for a good 15 days sigh!
The company I got the phone with only offer 7 day return policy Great!!
Will be interesting to see if I get the same device back or if they replace it.
Paul

Its not as bad as it looks likes on the Pic.
The photo was taken with an iPhone 4 and the camera of the iPhone 4 has a lens which makes the center of the pic blueish.
Your screen looks a bit purple but every SAMSUNG GALAXY SIII has this.
I see no reason to return your phone.

But does anyone have an idea what that is? It doesn't look like screen burn...what could cause that?

Aerys, Are you not seeing the same mark as I am?
I have no issue with the overall colour of the screen. However, I do have a problem with the horrible piss stained mark that has appeared on the bottom left of the screen!!

Excellent!! Got my phone back today after 8 days without it.
Samsung have apparently repaired it, however I cannot check because they did not send my battery back with the phone!
Nice one Samsung, very proffesional!
To top it off they said a new battery will be sent and should be there on mon/tue next week.
Great! Another week without my phone.
Knew I should of got the iPhone...

I've had my phone a little over a month now and I've never experienced that. I also heard that the led fatigue issue wasn't so dangerous on the S3 as it was on the Galaxy Nexus and previous sAMOLED screen devices.

i had some similiar screen problems so i changed my s3 three times and all of them had the same problem with the screen so i got my money back and now i am wating on the Note 2

Woaa.. u should go to the store and claim warranty

Yellow tint issue on S4's screen

I have this annoying yellow tint on my S4's screen, but disappears when the phone is tilted over 45 degrees. Is this faulty ? Shall I return it ? Or is there a way I can fix the gamma through an app without rooting the phone ?

Mine doesn't look like that, sorry. But I have lag. ):

Is it just in Chrome?
Try Chrome Settings ---> Developer Tools ---> Uncheck 'Enable Tilt Scrolling'

@raqball nope this is found everywhere, even instagram and facebook.

Ah, no clue then sorry..

@raqball can you do a quick check with yours, similar to the one I did and let me know what you get ?

Go to settings display screenmode and use something else other than adapt display. Im currently using dynamic and my tint is gone.
ATT S4 Rooted. Beastin.
4.2.2

I had it on standard all this time (including screenshot) .. Putting it on dynamic gives the same result :

Damn I was hoping it was that because it fixed it for me. Maybe a hardware issue?

@stevehkim I'm not sure tbh .. thanks for the suggestion though. It's quite annoying after I realised that it exists ... Didn't bother me before I noticed it :\

I found an app called Screen Adjuster but its not really efficient.

I had this with my S3 and got used to it. I was told in those forums that this is just how these AMOLED screens are made.

My display is perfectly white though... Side by side comparisons between the Note II, Microsoft Surface RT (perfect white display), and a Sony HDTV. My S4 beats or meets them all.

Can you post a picture comparing your screen to a laptop's screen ? I just want to see how different it looks. Also, do you suggest I return it to the store and get another one ?

I would return it rather than regretting it later. It defiantly doesn't look right.

Acer 24" LCD Monitor vs S4
I'll do one of my Surface or TV later.
I made a Pure White image to use for testing on the S4, use it instead of Chrome which uses a grey color in it's UI and for some reason the S4 screen brightness dims on Chrome automatically (and you can't change it). Download it if you want to do comparisons again.
