Definitely. Impossible for samsung to put WVGA on the s3 if even the nexus already has 720p scree, and at most the screen size will 4.8 inch. So a ppi of more than 300 is 99% sure ready!!!

PPi thing marketing gimmick...my old LCD 32" TV still 1368 x 768...still can watch nice 720p/1080p movies and looks great.

Unless you have 20/20 vision, it is not going to matter much to most people...800 x 480 on a 4" to 5" handphone already sufficient. 720p already more than enough. Fonts just keeps getting smaller...no point. Look at iPhone 4S ...3.5" what retina display rubbish...so darn small...yuck...

Im sure you never use an apple device right? I bought an iTouch early this year and liked the display. Nothing special. Then when I got this phone,my god. Pixels and jagginess everywhere!!! widgets, the name of apps,browsing thru the net. All so blur and pixellish. Its A LOT of difference my friend

retina display is no kidding wei....damn clear and crisp..... undoubtedly the clearest phone display on the market

I do agree somehow the high PPI is a marketing gimmick, but once you are on a bigger screen with higher PPI, you will never go back to a smaller screen with a lower PPI. Higher PPI is not only affecting the look of the display, it does also give impact while browsing the net and also during navigation and e-book readings

Even thou HOX and DHD is only 0.4" in different, but the PPI difference is huge. Those day I don't think DHD display is bad, but now whenever I look back at DHD, the text is too big.

not to disagree that the retina display is very clear. is just that overkill for a device which is 3.5". for me the larger the better. so 720P for 4.7 inch is ok. ive seen a galaxy nexus and i think is good enough.

yes...nexus is very good... 316 ppi if my memory serves me well....not much diff from the ip4 screen.

I've played enough iphone 4S to know about the retina display...fonts just too small, like HTC Sense (which finally have something to adjust font size in the new ONE series). My SGS2 only 800 x 480 or something. Lookls sharp to me. So blur nor pixellish (unless you zoom in max to photo). What difference?? LOL.

But on a bigger size gadget...like IPAD 2...really sucks...1028 x 768...10"?? Now that's blurred.

Different users are different. If I used an higher reso phone for a period of time, then shift back to S2, I would notice the low reso and be pricked by it.

It's not a marketing gimmick or useless. Rather, it's up to each individual to decide what he/she wants, based on how sensitive he/she is to such changes (in reso, in this case).

I use an S2 myself. I'm cool with the whole "overly contrast colors", but I do agree that the reso is rather lacking

as a sgs2 user, kindda having mix feelings about s3.

if it is uber cool and powerful, it will put apple to shame. but this will make my current s2 like a junk, which is bad.

if its a minor silly update like ip4s, i wont be too sad since my s2 value wont drop so much.

haha. eitherway, i'll be happy ;-p

by the way, the liquid at the s3 teaser, maybe its goin to be water proof.

i thought s2 price already dropped?

even if its a minor update s2 is still going to drop because s3 still considered new product

and there's GNote

water proof, ceramic, brush plastic or brush metal

Gnote is in different categories all together. Heck it is in a categories of its own.

But surely price of current phone will always drop further once new phone is introduced

to me, it will never become junk as long as you have use for it.

Yes， i also agreed that。

I think S3 will be priced at RM2,099 or RM2,199; list price, that is. Street price would be lower.
List price of S2 is now RM1,699.

RM2099 is a good price same as HOX. Still phone specs is crucial and shud be the deciding factor.

RM2099? damn I tot is same as S2 price now? =_=

ya haha
last time s2 RRP also is 2099
hope s3 replace s2 RRP price

that the RRP once s2 in Malaysia
then drop to 1899 > 1699 (now)

My bet goes 2199 for some weird reason. I think la...but s3 really tempting. Another fun year for android vs apple thingy
