Galaxy S already using a 5mp BSI sensor, I believe S2 did as well.

o rly? y Samsung didn't mention anything about it.

If that's the case, then it explains y HOX is using the same sensor as s2.

So, galaxy s2 to s3 camera only improve 0.05? from f/2.65 to f/2.6? can someone explain why samsung put this sensor on s3?

this is not the way u look at camera upgrades la..

sensor is different from s2. should be better than s2 as shown by some hands-on comparison.

At least the product code was right? -- S5K3H7

This is regarding S2's BSI sensor:
http://www.i-micronews.com/reports/Samsung...a-Module/8/281/

I can't verify if they are genuine, sometimes you just have to take it if you are not the 1 to pry open the device.  laugh.gif

this is interesting.. then it explains my doubt on y HOX uses the same sensor as s2

QUOTE
7] Camera: Both cameras look same. Nothing much known about the sensor SGS3 uses. It's S5C73M3 BSI sensor. Whereas HOX uses the Samsung sensor S5K3H2YX. This was one of sensors in SGS2. HOX has the same sensor used in SGS2. F stop is much better in HTC -- 2 compared to 2.6 in SGS3. But that's just one part of story. We have to check the sensor capabilities. Like I mentioned HTC is using the sensor from SGS2, and SGS3 uses a brand new sensor. And HOX never proved to be best shooter even before the SGS3 launch.

someone did a comparison shot between hox and s3.

seems like the lens on the hox is sharper than s3, the s3 pictures are slightly noisier with washed out colors.

I always played wit my fren's Note and yeap it looks fantastic... but i never really compared it side by side with the One X...

I don play much games on my phone... but i surf and read a lot wit it.... priority on my phone is

1) the display
2) the surf speed

the S2 did well in both of these and I believe S3 shud be better perhaps ???? Sifus here any advise whether I am on the right track... but not taking Note as an option because it is really not pocketable enuf for me...

my advice, wait the phone reaches malaysia and go try it out yrself. wink.gif

One thing i dun understand with the gesture to activate the camera
Need to press and turn
Feels more human ?

HTC One X have a camera widget on the lock screen, just drag into the ring and the camera will show.
Maybe not so human, but surely works just as well biggrin.gif

The waterdrop when u touch it, soon people will complaint saying the background is hogging up the ram and then remove it  biggrin.gif
*
there are a lot of ways to trigger the camera.. this gesture is only one of the ways, NOT THE ONLY WAY..

the lock screen has a shortcut too, besides u can also activate it with voice like "I want to take a picture" or "Open camera"

last but not least, app shortcut at the home screen as well.

the video taken from the phone itself? hmm.gif

i dont think so.

i have seen some "claimed" sample video of s3.. the video is very sharp and nice.. but not sure how valid is their claim. maybe they just use video cam or other cam then put as s3 title to gain view counts..

Never show the boot up of the device. doh.gif

AccuWeather apps was said to have some bugs/compromise location privacy back in S2's time. I wonder why they still include it in S3.

Ic. Usually I prefer white color device but somehow I find that the pebble blue is looking nicer on S3
*
i have the same thought as u. probably bcz the pebble blue has some textured pattern than just plain white. But i like the white front instead.. sad.gif

I know.. i buy white, but use pebble blue color back cover.. brows.gif become rojak color.. tongue.gif

Gesture controls
The Galaxy S III also has some new gesture controls you may not have heard about.
Shaking the device lets you detect nearby Bluetooth devices, as well as update your email, news or weather apps.
A double-tap on the top of the device lets you move to the top of a scrollable list.
Turning the phone over now not only mutes calls, but also media or radio playback as well.
Capturing the screen can now be done by a hand sweep across the screen.
You can pause media playback by holding your palm against the screen.
Finally, the camera can be accessed from the lock screen by holding your finger against the display and rotating the phone to landscape mode.

Additional gestures. TS can start to compile all the info liao.. brows.gif

i think the issue is mostly users aren't able to hit the correct spot for the back button only..

btw, read a lot of topics and watch a few videos as well. Still no ppl talk in detail about the picture quality and the battery life. Still waiting to read that. unsure.gif

senq always 1 month later after the launch for samsung handset..i also wondering why they always late for samsung hp....if only u can wait..or else go for other alternative..

i believe it's the exclusive partnership thingy. like how some telco can get exclusive rights to sell the devices up to a month or more then only other telco are allowed to sell.

same goes, with flagship phone like this, no doubt that the elite partners and the samsung stores will get it first before other chained retail stores.
