I prefer soft buttons like HOX, not onscreen like Nexus (unless bazel below is small)

Physical navigation buttons are just meh

Niceeee. And since you're on capacitive, no worries on long press vs durability.

I'm on S2, so yeah

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

Regarding pictures above, most sites concur that it's probably just a dummy casing. Apparently Samsung, in an effort to keep the actual device under wraps, is sending out test units with "test boxes/casing"

S3 to come with quad core 32nm technology!

Says samsung. Zomg buy!

Yeah, 20% is a chunk right there. Coupled with the fact that it doesn't sacrifice performance (but actually increases it) is a big big boon

No need claim claim all. If 32nm, theoretically suppose to be more efficient than 45nm

Yea man, sounds wicket

Double the core but the architecture better. Should consume less battery n should be blazing speeds

Yup yup exactly

Don't know why I'm doing this, but:

Exynos = SOC. includes cpu,gpu,etc
Mali = GPU, which resides in exynos.

I've seen the rumored benchmarks, can produce almost the same fps by overclocking GPU to 400mhz (default highest is 267mhz), which I assume would be the clock speed used in S3

Exactly, doubt any game on Android at least needs that much power currently.

Though upcoming Nova 3 does look pretty awesome, who knows if that would need more gpu powers. I guess it depends on the person, if you're gonna change phones one year down the road, mali-400 @ 400mhz will take you through the year. If you're looking to keep it longer and still play current games in the future, the fact that it's pushed to 400mhz might leave very little room for further overclocking.

Haha actually, the guy trolls alot in s2 thread, no idea why I bothered answering him

Dude read la dammit, he said he's never installed any pirated app EVER. The heck you think the black in black market refers to


Another one to vouch for non G here. Never hang-ed, unless like the rest, I start tinkering with kernel settings such as voltages and what nots

If you really love games, I guess HOX has well, Tegrazone

On a whole, it proly is not that big of a deal, especially to the majority. But microscopic differences can create a macro difference, which some ppl are sensitive to. Even all this high reso, some people see the difference (or at least can feel affected by it), and some ppl for the life of them can't make out the difference at all
