from wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_AMOLED
HD Super AMOLED is a new Super AMOLED type display from Samsung. The first device to use it is the Galaxy Note: an Android v2.3 phone with a 5.3" 1280x800 display. The phone (and the display) was announced in September 2011. The second device to use it is Samsung's Galaxy Nexus phone - with a 4.65" display with 1280x720 resolution. The higher resolution and dpi were made possible due to a change in materials and new manufacturing process, though still using shadow mask (or fine metal mask (FMM)) technology. However this required a change back to pentile RGBG subpixels.

Basically that is about the sama as what I was telling. Though mine sounds less technical. But you get the point. icon_rolleyes.gif

yes, similar to what you said... smile.gif

back to the S3 'design'... i think this is the first time i have to say that i'd prefer a WHITE version. the white version definitely looks waaaAAAAAaay better than the blue/ black.
*
I have to agree with you. But my question is, will it turn yellowish with time?

BTW, is the casing made of brushed aluminum? (coz I like high quality plastic/polycarbonate or the like better) Sorry, too lazy to read the spec.

yea... i get wat u mean... but most of the gal... back  view thumbup.gif ... but go infront have a closer look  doh.gif
back to the phone... I predict its around ... 2199! btw the design I kinda like it... slim bezel... means smaller in phone size but bigger in screen size  flex.gif
*
Yeah, most of the time the front is the culprit doh.gif

As for the phone. I guess both of us share the same preference in term of packaging as I myself don't like big phone but I do prefer big screen. I guess slim bezel do the trick.

Spend more money? Meaning? Is it by subscription or something? Did I miss anything?

Maybe the Plus (non-Pentile) display is not ready for HD yet  cry.gif
*
Yeah. And that is the biggest let down.

However I do feel good when looking at the battery capacity number. But still, the pentile screen is the deal breaker. At least for me.

force us get s3 rather than letting us use that software on s2 or something else
*
Yeah, I hate them for that ever-since I come to know that my Galaxy W (1.4 GHz Single) will not get ICS when even SE 1.0 GHz can get one. The sh!t they give is that the processor on the phone can't cope with ICS. Damn Samsung.

I mean, if Samsung's cheaper phones, e.g. Galaxy Y has all those extra features, who want to buy S III?
*
I agree with you that those extra feature should be given to the lesser model as long as their hardware can support it. But for the S3, many people will still get it even if S2 get the extra features coz many of us still prefer to have the latest and the greatest.

tat was the most BS thing I heard from samseng doh.gif
I actually hear  from a lot of sgs user I personally know, and also on forms around the net that sgs with ics is actually smoother than any other version they have ever had in their phone doh.gif  doh.gif

I guess its all bcoz they have got a million phones out last year and cant release ics for all of it. So they give BS excuses vmad.gif
*
Exactly! And I hate them for that.

If only there are any other company that have technology (SAMOLED+ and the like) and models that wield the same clout as S2 (and now S3) within the developer community, I would definitely happily jump ship. But unfortunately, we have none at this time. flex.gif

She doesn't. But how about you? brows.gif

so.... will u get it when S3 available ?? lets make a poll  brows.gif

Since S3 come with pentile. I guess I wait for SAMOLED+ with Exynos 5 (hopefully). Or I just get myself a 2nd best phone + a cheap China brand tab with the balance.

I am just wondering, performance wise, can Huawei Ascend D Quad XL beat SGSIII?
*
Maybe not.

But even if it did, I wouldn't risk my hard earned money (Huawei is not that cheap) for something that have waaayyyy less developer community support and poor after sales support, not to mention a not so good build quality (to say the least).

lol.. you got me there.  tongue.gif  But i already have the Note - got used to the chunky screen size, not going to anything smaller than that.
just get the Note, believe me, you will get addicted to the screen size in no time.  brows.gif  If you think SIII is the best, Note definitely is the second best at the moment.
*
Now that you mention about the note. How is it like to put it in the pocket of your trousers. That is the most worrying thing when it comes a phone the size of note. Care to share more info? (if you have time, of course biggrin.gif )

Sell also hard...no value...."What? China phone?? Offer RM100!!!". At least, with SGS3, it has solid reputation and better market value in the long run.

True, can't agree more.

But I avoid to mention that part on purpose just to avoid flame war from China phone hard core. biggrin.gif

I wonder what is the significance of having either a plastic body or non-plastic body when most users are gonna use hand phone casing?

I am one of the minority. But still I manage to make sure my phone got no scratch and no drop. Its all about being careful. biggrin.gif

I don't think i can take your word. Sorry. Everyone i knows...from SGS to SGS2....all faced hanging issues. Maybe you don't use as much apps and functions as we do. You can just google "SGS2 hangs" and find out people complaining. Tons of it.
*
I guess you are right. Most of them who never experience the hang thing might not really 'use' their S2 as some of others did.

So my own wrap-up

Design: HOX wins, S3 like stupid Nokia Corby design

Build Quality: HOX wins as S3 still uses the plastic material which they never learn from mistakes in S2.

Screen Display: HOX wins as SLCD2 uses non-Pentile while S3 uses
Pentile screen. PPi also smaller than HOX

RAM: Draw as both also 1GB RAM

CPU: In gaming, HOX wins, in day-to day except gaming, S3 wins but I doubt you will notice any difference in terms of daily usage

SD Card slot: obviously S3 wins

Camera: HOX wins big on this, burst mode of 4.0fps vs 3.3fps in S3 and you can also capture shots while on video whereas S3 cant which is a big setback; picture quality dunno yet.

Battery life: No sure on this who wins as HOX uses 1800 Li-Po vs 2100 Li-Ion (Some said Li-Po is 1:1.2 of Li-Ion which convert into 2160 Li-Ion for HOX) But S3 wins on removable battery.

Interface: Sense 4.0 vs TouchwiZ, no need to compare edy. Obviously Sense 4.0 wins

So, I think HOX wins more than S3. This year HTC should dominate Samsung once again,

These are only my opinion.
