that's really good, better than the yamaha on s2


audio wise, the only good thing about one x is beats (preference) and apt-X codec (not sure whether s3 have this ? )

The chip is better than the one used in SII. Beats is just software if I'm not wrong.

Galaxy S - Wolfson
Galaxy SII - Yamaha
Galaxy SIII - Wolfson (slightly different from Galaxy S)

great article. as what was mentioned earlier, the dissapointments was the pentile matrix screen and the fugly design.

had a thought juz now.

maybe the 'success' of s note made samsung focus on software? after all, the margins is higher.
they use cheap plastic and past-generation screen, add a few software gimmick...then sell at same price.

more profits for the samseng.

Yesterday's introduction of the Samsung Galaxy S III has many waiting for the device to launch in their country. According to Android Authority, the device will launch in India on June 10th. Smartphones are prolific in the country and we would imagine that there is a large number of potential purchasers circling this date on the their calendar.

According to the report, the phone will be priced between 38,000-41,000 Rs which is the equivalent to approximately $760-$820 USD. In India, the carriers don't offer contracts so there are no subsidized phones and the handset can be purchased from Samsung or any authorized re-seller. The aforementioned price range dovetails with the 600 EUR that Amazon Germany is asking for the model (which is the equivalent of $790 USD) and the 499.95 GBP that the U.K.'s Carphone Warehouse wants for the phone. That works out to roughly $809 USD. The Carphone Warehouse deal includes a free Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 tablet for the first 100 customers that purchase the Samsung Galaxy S III using a monthly payment plan.

Most of the planet is expecting the Samsung Galaxy S III to launch on May 29th, although that will be the version offering HSPA+ connectivity. In the U.S., Japan and Korea, the version of the Galaxy S III launched will have LTE connectivity and won't be released until later in the Summer. Samsung did say that the Stateside launch will take place next month.


So expensive in India. But the free galaxy tab is interesting. But y not de tab7.7?

H1x

Most important points for phone
1) screen
2) design
3) software and app store


S3 uses last gen screen super amoled hd wt pentile matrix display, which is inferior to h1x super lcd2 and apple's retina.

2) s3 design looks fugly and made of cheap plastic. It even loses to s2 design. H1x is beautiful and uses polycarbonate material.

3) not really sure how the S suite of software fares, but Sense is a proven and beautiful software overlay.

Samsung choose pentile again for its flagship, it's a big cons really.

To those who didn't realised or said that it's indistinguishable with 720p display. Yes, pixel wise maybe, but pentile has this problem that you might not realise.

I have had experiences with Galaxy S, S2, GNex and Tab7.7. (have yet to stare long enough into GNote, will try next time). Pentile display tend to have this banding problem. Cause of this is unknown. My best best would be the sub-pixels are not created equal in size. Meaning if blue, each blue might not be same size to each other. Similarly to G and R pixels.

Whatever it is, the AMOLED+ display could eliminate the banding problem, or reduced it to minimal, which is barely visible.

Still wished that Samsung gone for HD AMOLED+ display. *sigh*

1. Designs are at least that I'm concern.
2. Screen is pentile matrix, but I don't mind. i don't find any problem with my galaxy note.
3. Yes, If you look at Sense UI, it is far beautiful than Touchwiz UI, but Samsung Galaxy S3 has more added new features, eventhough for some it's copying, but heck, it's better than having more than nothing. Tegra3 zone? Never download any on my prime whistling.gif

Advantages S3 over HTC One X:

1. Better CPU
2. Better developer community support
3. 3 storage variant: 16gb, 32gb, 64gb + microSD slot
4. Battery replacement.
5. 4.8" over 4.7" screen <-- doesn't really matter actually.
6. More features than HTC One X has offer

HTC One X over S3:
1. Better design (still depend on people preferences).
2. Sense UI which is alot nicer than Touchwiz UI.

Screen...is quite subjective. Tried the HTC One X, it has natural colour, but suckier black level. My Galaxy Note uses the same HD Super Amoled, great black colour, contrast, but it is pentile matrix (I don't really care bout it...)

why I want the S3, because it offers MORE than what HTC One X could offer. I got a friend who bought one, not even close to 3 day, his phone won't even start, now he want to claim a replacement. Poor him whistling.gif

Are u sure? Show proof!

Web reports said it looks and feels cheap, somethg like the s2.

Many ppl were terribly disappointed bcos cheap plastic was one of the major complaints against the s2.
But SAMSENG didn't improve it, and made it look worst!

Advantages S3 over HTC One X:

1. Better CPU
2. Better developer community support
3. 3 storage variant: 16gb, 32gb, 64gb + microSD slot
4. Battery replacement.
5. 4.8" over 4.7" screen <-- doesn't really matter actually.
6. More features than HTC One X has offer

HTC One X over S3:
1. Better design (still depend on people preferences).
2. Sense UI which is alot nicer than Touchwiz UI.

Screen...is quite subjective. Tried the HTC One X, it has natural colour, but suckier black level. My Galaxy Note uses the same HD Super Amoled, great black colour, contrast, but it is pentile matrix (I don't really care bout it...)

Polycarb is just a kind of tough plastic and it's by no mean some high grade/quality stuff. I hope people don't start turning into iSheeps.

In case you all didn't realised, PC also used in making those 1.5lt, 2lt drinking bottle sold in pasar malam, claimed to be "space shuttle material", heh. From what I learned, PC is also very prone to scratches. So those with shiny surface, jaga laaa. blush.gif

It's not bashing. Just discussing. Evry1 got own opinion. That's why it's a FORUM.
As long as there is no smelly words, and discussion got points, then is fine.

If u want to hear praises only, then join the SAMSENG religion.

Dont be too sensitive with the term "plastic bottle". What if there's a phone that uses stainless steel. Would you feel hurt if they said your phone made with kitchen utensils or auntie-favourite-gate material? laugh.gif

PC is claimed to be the toughest plastic. It doesn't mean it sucks if it's being used in plastic bottle. Besides, it's not those RM1 mineral water bottle kind of plastic.

ASUS TF Prime use Aluminium? End Up ASUS have to make a GPS extension kit to solve GPS problems. Aluminium gives premium feel, but gives problems as well.

Do you want to malfunction all your radio systems? NFC capability?...

Plastic "Ahem" is Reinforce Plastic which is durable from drops, take SGS-II as example...

Prefer Polycarbonate/Reinforce Plastic than Aluminium.

Youtube for the Corning demo video where they revealed their Gorilla 2 in MWC 2012. It's tougher than Gorilla 1, hence they can achieve the same strength with thinner glass. Overall, reducing profile and weight to the phone.

Still, our first impressions of the Gorilla Glass 2-coverd display are extremely positive - it's even less reflective than that of the Samsung Galaxy S II and offers outstanding image quality.

Im keen to know the battery life for daily usage, whether it will last long enough anot. Guess have to wait till its available.

Actually the design is not that entirely bad. It just doesn't feel premium, feels like teen spirit tongue.gif Which leads to the next question, who will be sgs3 target market?

Im keen to know the battery life for daily usage, whether it will last long enough anot. Guess have to wait till its available.

Actually the design is not that entirely bad. It just doesn't feel premium, feels like teen spirit tongue.gif Which leads to the next question, who will be sgs3 target market?

ya hopefully optimized well and with that 2100mah can last a day. i think s3 target market is to s1 users? and those who like flagship phone like the one x

actually I do have doubts whether how well can it last as there additional features are actually kinda battery sucking(front cam need to be always on, sound receiver needs be always enabled) but we'll see, we'll see brows.gif

undecided whether to upgrade from my S2 to S3, wonder what's the price will be like in M'sia

my take on the phone so far;

Pros from my S2:
Larger Screen
Resolution 720p
Quad Core
New Samsung features as S-Voice, Smart Stay
Better Audio Chip (my S2 sound quality does bug me)
Battery 2100maH

Cons for now:
Design (Personally I'm not too impressed with the design)

Advantages S3 over HTC One X:

1. Better CPU
2. Better developer community support
3. 3 storage variant: 16gb, 32gb, 64gb + microSD slot
4. Battery replacement.
5. 4.8" over 4.7" screen <-- doesn't really matter actually.
6. More features than HTC One X has offer

HTC One X over S3:
1. Better design (still depend on people preferences).
2. Sense UI which is alot nicer than Touchwiz UI.
3. capture photo in burst mode more than s3 than 79 pictures

Screen...is quite subjective. Tried the HTC One X, it has natural colour, but suckier black level. My Galaxy Note uses the same HD Super Amoled, great black colour, contrast, but it is pentile matrix (I don't really care bout it...)

actually it's a no-brainer discussion but a valid point in a illogical discussion.

let me illustrate my point.

s2 the king of "plastic", sold by more than 20 million units that single handedly almost can rival iphone's sales figure...some even say the shipped unit figures r undocumented, not sure.

how much the "metal chassis" sensation sold for??

nobody cared...

so who wants to start another "htc case is better than s3" again?

there's no bashing if you read the few post back. we're just giving opinions and comparisons based on facts


many people need to realize the difference between bashing and giving opinions.

so what if people ask " s3 vs xxx phone which better? ". you can't just say "s3 is the best", or "s3 pwns all" bla bla bla. u need to state the pros and cons of each, there's no perfect phone in this world


fanboys and bashers amongst android....i really can't brain you guys. android supposed to be a big family

if you're bashing about fruit brand or other OS then i will keep quiet tongue.gif


unable to accept facts regarding cons = fanboy

stressing on the cons without looking at the pros = bashers

yea sorry im easily agitated now it's friday night.

im abit frustrated that ppl overlook s3 trendsetting of the smart stay eye tracking n wireless charging. s2 also brought few albeit minor breakthru such as the OTG n NFC among others .

when i mentioned these two stuffs, my friends went "Wow...", almost disbelieve.

if anyone were to upgrade their s2 to s3, me for one, these two alone can rly make up for that. IDK about u guys...but i use my s2 quite heavily so i charge every often i can so the wireless charging is mind blowing...as well as the frustration we know whenever i n my frens looking at the s2 n it dims itself now solved by the smart stay tech... anything else, the screen tech , the size, the S voice (~siri) , the batt (well, i like it in the 2k mah barrier now)...all is parallel to competition now out there...but at the mentioned of the two above...nthg come close...another s3 breakingthru....anything else the s3 bring sweet to the table ,honestly , are serious bonuses...


Added on May 5, 2012, 4:40 am
actually i wan to add sthg.

truthfully, i do like the HOX design alot...

but when i see my friend's HOX which he bought for a week, it look like he owned it for a month or many months because the HOX rear is rubber like...

if a normal wear n tear btw rubber back n s3 glossy back ...surely the later one will endure and look more elegant and more lasting in terms of condition...

when i realise tis, i instantly minus point fr the HOX. admitantly, ters rly no perfect package, so d only way is to improvise...the s3 design can grow on you just lik the s2 did ^_____^

I'm suprised by people's limited perception on smartphones.
All they care about is design/outer look.
Even arguing about material which is used by almost all other phones and also other devices.
Is that a valid argument or simply finding fault or trying to tell people that you are actually a troll?
S3 isn't the most beautiful but it is moving forward.
Smartphone should be smarter than what we have in market currently.

As consumers, we keep hoping for premium materials like glass, aluminium, stainless steel.. But the global manufacturers shld know more right? Plastic is lightweight and won't get heated up easily.

Corning Gorilla Glass 2 is much slimmer, allow brighter images and increased touch sensitivity. Not to mention the durability and strength to withstand scratches/shock to prevent breaking when the device falls. You'll need to check out some videos on it biggrin.gif There're much more + things which Samsung doesn't state during the live event

If this product unveiling is any indication, Samsung understands that the future of the operating system isn't just about specifications. It's the experience, rather, that ultimately will impress users the most. In an era of dual-core this and quad-core that, average users are hard-pressed to notice the difference in hardware performance. The specs are incredible, yes, but it's the way in which the phone works that will help it stand out.

As I have mentioned before, Apple has always been the leader in user experience. But it is now being challenged by Samsung.

That is because you are not comparing apple to apple. One with HD (the dot colour is a lot smaller) the other is a lot lower resolution (lower PPI count). Meaning that, you need to compare HD Plus with HD no Plus that have about the same PPI.

One other thing about Plus and no Plus is that the Plus one save more energy than the one with no Plus. Meaning you get better quality display plus longer battery life.

But I read that wireless charging do more damage to batt as it heats them up more than conventional charging. It reduces the lifespan of yr batt. My Braun toothbrush uses wireless charging. It gets hot when charging as well. Heat n Li ion are not good frens.

Samsung Galaxy S III Benchmarks Are In, This Thing Is A Screamin’ Demon!

QUOTE
As soon as a new device hits the scene – particularly one which boasts high specs from every direction – it’s always interesting to see, in terms of performance, whether said device lives up to its billing.

In order to ascertain this, a series of tests (known as benchmarks) are carried out in different categories, with the subsequent numbers and scores compared to that of competitors. The results are in for the brand-new Samsung Galaxy S III, and although it’s been a bit of a divider among the top tech opinions, one thing is for sure; in terms of performance, this baby is an absolute powerhouse!

As AnandTech reports, a widely focused technology blog, has tested Samsung’s latest Android device to the limits in several key areas, and powered by that Exynos 4 Quad-core processor, it’s barely outperformed by any other device on the market in the crucial areas such as browser and video performance.

In terms of the browser and CPU performance, AnandTech reckons the S III’s performance to be “very good.” The benchmarking began with JavaScript performance tests, which measure the performance of both hardware and software, and as you can see from the charts, SunSpider performance is second only to the Lava XOLO:

1800ms was once considered to be the very height of superior performance, but thanks to the S III along with the HTC One X and the XOLO, the stakes have been significantly raised once more. The step up, at least in terms of the Samsung Galaxy S III, is likely to be attributable to the software as opposed to the hardware, but collectively – as you can see from the above results – render it a close second to Intel’s Medfield residing in the XOLO X900.

BrowserMark scores also demonstrated just how much work Samsung has been doing in order to perfect the browsing experience, and boy, does it do the business. It’s a country mile faster than close competitors, although again, it’s worth noting that Samsung’s browser code plays a role, and the fact that it’s running the latest Android 4.0.4 certainly doesn’t hurt its score against rivals running older software.

Interestingly, the onscreen GLBenchmark Egypt and Pro results show its GPU as delivering superior performance to that of the iPhone 4S, which previously reigned supreme in this category, although it’s worth pointing out that both benchmarks categories are v-sync limited on the higher-end devices.

As these tests were all carried out during an extended yet brief encounter with the Samsung Galaxy S III, there’s still much to learn, but the early signs certainly look good from a technical point of view, and those with an affinity with high-spec hardware will certainly be eager to see the device scrutinized further.

from the benchmarks it seems exynos 4412 is still struggling to keep up with snapdragon s4. A15 architecture and 28nm does make a difference

wonder what could samsung pull off with their exynos 5

You are quite drunk indeed. NFC was brought in from Nexus S.

As for wireless charging, I think it was an addon thing into the phone. During MWC 2012, it was demo on Galaxy S phone. Unless the wireless charging module already built-in into S3. Wait and see.

This wireless charging on S3 is still better as it doesn't need to dock on anything. Others *cough* iDevices *cough* required the dock to charge.

Have to leave it on the charging pad. It's not called a proximity charging station yet.

Doesn't dock means you don't have to connect anything to the USB port. It's a true wireless charging. smile.gif

Probably it's not accepted by many and cost a bomb.

There was a video made by some YouTuber on how to modify Galaxy S to enable wireless charging. So basically he stripped parts off the Palm Pre (?) and embed them into Galaxy S and use the charging station from Palm.

It just too much work cause requires soldering and it made the USB port stopped functioning properly.

That is because you are not comparing apple to apple. One with HD (the dot colour is a lot smaller) the other is a lot lower resolution (lower PPI count). Meaning that, you need to compare HD Plus with HD no Plus that have about the same PPI.

One other thing about Plus and no Plus is that the Plus one save more energy than the one with no Plus. Meaning you get better quality display plus longer battery life.

pentile is more battery saving.

its a known fact even before release that s3 gonna outscore HOX. just like how exynos beat tegra 2 during sgs 2 time


but this time, the score was a bit disappointing because it was only a minor 10 - 20% at most improvement


and not to forget it was smoked by the dual core snapdragon s4. A15 + 28nm flex.gif

mostly everyone buys it not cuz of its camera, but its a really handy thing, you won't want to bring your DSLR everywhere you go, thats why phones camera is a must have feature.


Added on May 5, 2012, 12:20 pm
seriously ? wats wrong with everyone ?

who needs a camera ?
who needs a better screen ?
who needs a good design ?
who needs a premium brand ?

according to this, we should throw away our smart phones and go back to 3310  doh.gif

a major point of a smartphone was never its camera.

Noone disagrees having a decent camera, which all smartphones have passed this stage, its the point where expectations dont meet reality.

Not everyone has a DSLR, and when ur posting shots from a phone, clearly you have no intentions to post it up a billboard or a magazine.

Am I clear?

camera is one of the important considerations, especially for ppl who wanna capture the moment in the best way possible.

the better question is why wld u need quad core?

A smartphone is different from a cameraphone.

If one requires such, there are always benefits and costs. If someone can make a smartphone with a camera as good as a cameraphone, wouldnt it defeat the sole purpose of it instead?

"Capturing the moments" as in posting it on facebook? if it is at that rate, my sgs2 would look the same as my nexus as it is to my hox in picture quality as compared to my friends ip4s. What will make a difference is comparing it to my hasselblad.

Granted that camera do need improvements as it climbs up the evolutionary ladder.

Why do I need a quad core???
Thats because I do alot of PDF viewing, editing as well as powerpoints editing on the go which was the core purpose of a smartphone, which almost none of you guys do so rather than playing games and facebooking, no pun intended.

Theres a term called specialty in each category.

That was the upgraded Powermat design, probably used in S3 as well.

The older generation which was introduced to Apple products requires the docking, which was not interesting at all.

So, it sucks for not having removable battery now.

Capturing the moment , let me elaborate this

When you went for a dinner or something , and you're going back home, you wouldn't want to bring your DSLR everywhere with you, thats why ppl love and want to have a good camera in their smartphone,

For your PDF viewing and editing, powerpoints editing , Dual core is more than enough. Why would you want to get Quad Core ? exactly , thats why we want a better camera

and FYI Galaxy S3 has a great camera, you are arguing about that meizu mx camera feature doh.gif

actually it's "someone else" who started the meize mx camera thingy and then calling it off topic.. zzzz..

no sample pictures for comparison for s3, so i will just keep neutral on the camera part. just want to know the aperture value of the camera.

clearly you have never done powerpoint editing with a dual core, be it on a nexus, or a sgs2.
I used it, and I dont have time for it to jerk around, when time is money to me.

Noone knows about the camera quality on the s3. At least none of us here.

If you are doing those "eating out" shots, a normal one will do, what are you gonna do with it is clearly not for professional usage.

On the plus side= Ive seen more people using their dslr or compact cameras taking food photos than just a smartphone. prove me wrong in that essence.

and I was not referring to taking food photos

there comes some times when you must have to take a photo when walking by something special is happening and not having your camera with you

thats why mostly all DLSR users have a compact camera in hand in case something like that pops up so they could just use the camera they have in their pocket, with having a good camera in your mobile phone , this way you won't be needing a compact point & shoot camera.....

ya becuz the phone is almost become the most personal thing ,maybe spend more time with it than your partner or gf...so if the camera no good right...realy a turn off...

it's like you buy a sport car but the headlight is yellow type not the xenon hid type...

you show off show off your s3, the quad capability la, the "true multitsaking" lah, this n that, then when asked of the camera...then u said...oh the camera ah, camera not so good la...hehe

beside, nowadays cuz of social networking era n lifestyle (before eat also must photograph first), phone almost is the equivalent of a full time "part time camera".

That is because you are not comparing apple to apple. One with HD (the dot colour is a lot smaller) the other is a lot lower resolution (lower PPI count). Meaning that, you need to compare HD Plus with HD no Plus that have about the same PPI.

One other thing about Plus and no Plus is that the Plus one save more energy than the one with no Plus. Meaning you get better quality display plus longer battery life.
*
There is no HD Plus phone yet, how to compare!??

What I am saying is: Note's display is as good as (or better than) that of S II. Therefore we can expect S III's display to be of similar quality.

Samsung must have good reasons not to equip S III with HD Plus display. Maybe the technology is not there yet. Or maybe it will cost a bomb.

BTW, the page I link to says this:
PenTile screen technology is favored for several reasons, but primarily for two: Its low power consumption compared to RGB stripe displays, and its ability to achieve an HD resolution on an AMOLED screen.

clearly you have never done powerpoint editing with a dual core, be it on a nexus, or a sgs2.
I used it, and I dont have time for it to jerk around, when time is money to me.

Noone knows about the camera quality on the s3. At least none of us here.

If you are doing those "eating out" shots, a normal one will do, what are you gonna do with it is clearly not for professional usage.

On the plus side= Ive seen more people using their dslr or compact cameras taking food photos than just a smartphone. prove me wrong in that essence.

of course not, even with the 5.3" note, i will not do any powerpoint editing.

no doubt big screen is useful, but again u need a precise pointing device to do any productive work.
hence, a stylus is better than finger tip but not really useful.

it may be a possibility since the initial reaction has been far from good.

but my bet is 2199RM. this will top the range, follow by note and then s2.

Actually for one handed operation, that's the perfect size.
Even though bigger screen is easier on the eyes, but quite cumbersome especially when u want quick operation.

guys guys, dont start any kind of war here. cmon... the thread almost clean....

bigger screen is always a wonderful advantge, but some do prefer small screen, almost all my close one (girls all of them) when hear the screen is 4" above, will say they dont want it, screen too big to hold, thus end up with low to mid end android phone.

i always keep notes/presentation slide inthe phone thumbup.gif before going to the presentation/exam, always practice/ read up using the phone. i never get a chance to create a document with phone though or any editing. but i feel safe all the time cause i know my phone capable of doing it. office operation/reading/browsing, is nice with big screen rclxm9.gif

i hate small screen cause my finger are big, browsing clicking link sometimes will click other stuff,

and we must admit, still a large portion of user buy high end phone just for the sake of having it, even iphone. if you see those really young user use it for light gaming/browsing/music/video only, and veteran user use it for sms/phone only. but hey, who r we to judge what people do with their phone.

Sorry bro , Note just ngam ngam fit my hand with one hand operation .
but i believe 5" screen will really fit well and comfort for me .
i use 3.5" device , but seriously i hate to keep zoom in zoom out on 3.5" screen ...

So right now i assume this device fit me easier on the eyes + easier on the hand .

No butthurt anyone.

I can foresee in the next 5 years, you can customise your own phone edy just like PC.

You can choose to have Snapdragon or Tegra as CPU, how many RAM u want, what screen size you like etc etc just like how you customise a gaming PC.

Nope not going to happen. PC makers made this mistake where individuals can custom built their own computer. Many lost money and bankrupt like gateway, ranger, TI, etc.

So they start to revive n push laptops so they can maintain good margin.

but the back, nothing to say at all.... too plain i must say

android beam is available for all phones which have ICS and NFC function la

any function from ICS any phone will have it as long it got the os.



the difference in s3 is the personalized function from samsung, like the S-Voice, eye detector and smart alerts

otherwise u may send email and beg them to develop new app for ics.

Apps that are not updated to support ICS will not work on ICS phone.
So far all the apps I use (90+) works well in ICS.
If you paid an app and it didn't update for ICS, give the developer a message.

AndroidAuthority review of the sGS III against HTC One X
As with each review do not treat this as gospel truth - it is just another guy impression. Don't be surprised you will find another reviewer who thinks differently

That I would say is HTC Fans phobia - even at HTC Sensation threads ( the earlier threads ) you will read of Samsung SGS II bashing but you rarely find Samsung users bashing back HTC Sensation at the SGS II thread
As I said what is the point of bashing - if you like your present phone ( whether is HTC, Samsung, Sony,iPhone, LG etc ) enjoy it and do not justify your ownership by bashing other makes - it looks stupid to me by so doing
If you go over to the HTC One X thread , everyday you will read postings some one condemning the S III and saying how great and what a good choice they have make choosing the HOX. I have refrain myself from shooting down such users as I see no point in so doing

this article does not make any sense at all. fragmentation which caused apps incompatibility is one of the 3 top problems affecting android today.

of course, it affects mostly early adopters and ppl who use their phone too long.

am not going to argue abt this since it is a problem not specific to s3 alone but android as a whole.

u r being oversensitive. nobody has bashed s3. merely writing down our opinions.
as for me, i'm just saying the design is fugly. everybody taste is different, if u think it is great, then u r entitled to ur own opinion.

i am giving my opinion too.. i agree bashing is really wasting the time and space here.. nod.gif i also agree the design of s3 is not attractive.. but ugly or pretty, everyone's preference is different.. some ppl may think it is fine..some may say ugly so don wan to buy.. some ppl say think design is not important..feature is the main point to look at.. so let other to decide.. like i say, if this time, s3 is selling poor..samsung will review themselves to avoid nokia's steps.. and for us as the final users, u don like it, then don buy and dun see..i think this is more mature thinking.. thumbup.gif

i am giving my opinion too.. i agree bashing is really wasting the time and space here.. nod.gif i also agree the design of s3 is not attractive.. but ugly or pretty, everyone's preference is different.. some ppl may think it is fine..some may say ugly so don wan to buy.. some ppl say think design is not important..feature is the main point to look at.. so let other to decide.. like i say, if this time, s3 is selling poor..samsung will review themselves to avoid nokia's steps.. and for us as the final users, u don like it, then don buy and dun see..i think this is more mature thinking..  thumbup.gif

garage sales


basicly garage sales sellers are able to sell the phone cheaper during initial launch compared to the RRP price, but maybe no freebies

if you buy from samsung at official launch with the RRP price, chances are you will receive some freebies

Next person to talk about "most user to bash are from bla bla bla" will get straight 10% warn.

It is fine to give your opinions. IMO the S3 design is yesteryear as well. Perhaps seeing it in person will change my mind.

Dont take comments and criticisms personally. If you think someone is bashing not because of genuine opinion but to troll, report. Do not participate. When androidfag fight androidfag, guess who wins.

Remember the terms and conditions when android section was post count reenabled.

sincerely, rm2000 is a price killer to the impending launch of the ifon5 before Xmas and by that time SGS3 would be selling something like rm1500~1600, good Samsung strategy to ifon5 rm2200 bracket.

but if iFon5 will to sell below rm2000..........we will see more price slash from Samsung, so guys hold your horses

Like i said before..ask yourself. Look back and read your own post. I smell anger in you. Most probably by Sony bashing on HOX before this and you try to justify that anger by bashing or discredit Samsung. Why you didn't go bashing Xperia.?
Because you know HOX is better than Xperia. Like i said before, ppl only bashing to others that sit above them. That's why Sony fans bash HOX but they didn't go bashing Razr coz they know they are better than Razr.
Same situation here., HOX fans come by bus and start trashing S3..why..!? Simple..S3 is BETTER than HOX. End of story.
But that's okay because Samsung user knows their phones is better than the rest. We just frown at your self insecurities.
We only wish Android user..no matter what phone you use..to grow up, be sensible and help among each other.

Agree, I have a feeling that Samsung always wanted to compete with Apple solely, although they are partner but it seems like they hate each other biggrin.gif

Price should be RM2099 - RM2299 during launch for my rough estimation.

Sincerely the Android platform belongs to Motorola,Samsung and HTC, others are not real contenders. The only problem will arise if Motorola will limit other makers to its exclusive rights of Google cause Google owns Motorola Mobility.

I doubt that. Samsung and HTC contributes too much to Android. Google just bought Motorola for its patents. Heard that they're going to sell it, probably to Huawei

Hox rear is rubber lik plastic, no? Due to tht, the wear n tear is more obvious than glossy, imho. Tis mean 1 practical point goes to s3 glossy rear.

I like built in non removable battery cover but removable one is more practical. Ive my s2 spare batt which i bot for rm15 n uses it once a week like tht. Its very infrequent but those time tht i do use d spare batt is of real importance to me. So 2 practical poibt goes to s3 for function over form.

The black version is the rubberized back while the white is just polycarbonate. I find it slippery to hold my friend's white HOX with sweaty hands so I'm not sure how slippery the Hyperglaze would make the S3.

Im using my s2 now typing n i cnt help but think somehow d s3 may win my heart in terms of design than s2. Actually s2 design is not all THAT pretty also but it is embedded in our mind already tht our brain had already registered it as "pretty" becuz its light, user frenly n powerful not to mention d no. 1 hp.

When s3 hath come, in sure s3 design wil win many once they taken it in their hand. Cuz d curve n rounded edges r so favorable to hold right.

Image wise, i lik d rear more than s2, cuz d gloss make it look elegant. S2 back? *i turn my s2 back*, actually nthg to write home about lol

One point not to be missed while other phone manufacturers had started to drop from their new phone- with an expandable sd card, can always keep all of the required data in my phone rather than in my thumb drive or even cloud storage that requires data connection....

That's to avoid the names from getting stain. Do you know that the words can be stain if you use your phone naked on S2 or GNote.!? Sweating palm is the main culprit.

My 9mth old s2 rear samsung metallic brand stil in pristine condition tho d rear plastic d looked lik it had gone to few wars n back lol


To anyone who do think d s3 is not tht great, even my humble self lol, pls check out d images someone posted very earlier, i wonder if it has been added to d first page or not.

I found those pictures awesome of d s3 especially d one lying on d table. D slimness tht curves lays s2 design in shame. Its lik a supermodel body lying on the beach wit a lean but flat girl, s2...

How to match??? Why no one here hv nexus ma? Maybe can give some input since d s3 design has got some nexus blood in it

financially wise if you have no problem, just go for it. and you can sell ur gnote to earn back some cash, at least the resale price is not low now

Ya, it will maintain shining if using case, my S2 & Note still shining, another advantage for removable battery cover is there are plenty of options from 3rd parties casing manufacturers who produce the battery covers just like S2 & Note.

try the hand on for s3 1st then only decide
furthermore, so far the difference for s3 and note just NFC and better processor

It's different upgrading GNote to GNote 2 (if got one). S3 and GNote sitting in different categories. Selling GNote just for buying S3 is not worth it. Unless you find GNote is too big for you then only it worth to sell and buy S3.

Possible, but personally doubt so. Note currently uses same proc as s2, just bumped up. Doubt they'll go introduce a new proc in Note and suddenly increase the differentiating factor to beyond form factor. Might not be good for S3 sales after that

from wave 1ghz solo core to s2 dual core to s3 quad core...

if i own the s3 quad d right...

what else improvement can i expect fr say, s4..

cant be penta or octa cores right lol

im just saying this cuz like some ppl said, thinking if the jumpship fr s2 is worth it or not.

i dont wan phablets.

i say like this cuz if ters not much to look forward to after s4, then maybe superphone will stick with quad cores for a long time thus justifying THE upgrade for a long time, no? i dont mean the beefed up battery or perhaps FLED screen in s4 lol

need to depend on the market condition as well

snapdragon s4 is already in so the competition is there. if suddenly snapdragon decide to release their snapdragon s4 quad that might persuade samsung to bring in their exynos 5 as well

but knowing samsung and their users, they have the ability to postpone it until Q1 2013 and still survive the market

to be honest with you, the quad on the s3 is considered an " outdated " tech because it still relies on the old cortex A9 architecture. however since its 32nm its still better than current quads lets say tegra 3 which is 40nm.

if you wan a real jump and real deal in performance, wait for exynos 5 or snapdragon s4 quad, which are based on A15 and 28nm


you can check out the benchmarks of s3 compared with current market leaders. its around 10 - 20% faster than tegra 3 thanks to its 32nm process. but the snapdragon s4 DUAL CORE is still able to keep up to it


and that comes to another point, you can't judge a phone performance based on how many cores the processor have. this applies to desktop processors as well. cores are just to share the load of processes in the phone so when things get too loaded, more cores will join in to the processing part


take this example, its like 4 protons trying to carry a bunch of passengers from one spot to another on a straight road, compared to 2 lamborghinis doing the same thing. and note there's no traffic jam tongue.gif

hope you guys get my point icon_rolleyes.gif

why everybody is more concern about its exynos processor performance. But I think S III main selling point is not the processor speed, but is its function & features. (Just like iPhone attract consumers with its Siri capabilities) Even with the highest performance phone, but only with less features is totally suck.

Actually a dual cores processor should be enough for small smartphones though quad cores can be more future proof.
How many things can we do with such small phones.? I dont think there gonna be octa or penta after quad cores. Most probably they will only improve the processor not expand it. It's time for the apps to catch up and fully utilised the quad cores and aslo it's time to improve our battery technology.
Luckily Samsung is good in R&D on phone screens dept. We can expect more goodies on the phone screen..years to comes.

thanks for your point.

actually i m aware of the 40, 32, 28nm architecture also. i got read about the snapdragon s4 can 'overtake' d s3 quad in some cases , cuz the apps/script probably written for dual core optimisation. n u r right again about real world performance may vary

but across the board, surely a quad is better than dual core (im taking the understanding from computer). and even quad cores tech in computer stays "stagnant" d as if met a technology saturation point.

anything 'enhanced'/extra , most of the time is simply marketing gimmicks. at the expense of the customers

for e.g. i always buy new laptop when they change the motherboard n die shrink since its more significant update rather than the proc itself, microsoft tick tock schedule...ie now using 2nd gen i5, but everytime, my computer didnt quite feel faster than my previous centrino 2 , they both also no faster than my first gen solo core lol get my drift?

im sure the cortex A15 will supercede A9. but 40 vs 32 is 'marginal' but 32 to 28 doesnt seem so big lol as to the enhancement from dual to quad thus justifying the jump to quad alone is good enuf.

i guess the answer is we'll hv to wait n see if the feeling is right (or irresistible) , just jumpship right lol since nowadays, many of my neighbours children, or friend's friend or friend's friend's of friends r dying of some malfunction, partly due to 'sai miang' lifestyle lol...we never knw whats happening tomorrow lol so just enjoy whatever u can without flipping your bank account lol

thanks for your time.

actually i m aware of the 40, 32, 28nm architecture also. i got read about the snapdragon s4 can 'overtake' d s3 quad in some cases , cuz the apps/script probably written for dual core optimisation. n u r right again about real world performance.

but across the board, surely a quad is better than dual core (im taking the understanding from computer)

then again, i always buy new laptop when they change the motherboard n die shrink rather than the proc itself, microsoft tick tock schedule...ie now using 2nd gen i5, but everytime, my computer didnt quite feel faster than my previous centrino 2 , they both also no faster than my first gen solo core lol

anything 'enhanced', most of the time is simply marketing gimmicks.

im sure the cortex A15  will supercede A9. but 40 vs 32 is 'marginal' but 32 to 28 doesnt seem so big lol

i guess the answer is we'll hv to wait n see if the feeling is right (or irresistible) , just jumpship right lol since nowadays, many of my neighbours children, or friend's friend or friend's friend's of friends r dying...we never knw whats happening tomorrow lol so just enjoy whatever u cant without flipping your bank account lol
*
so ask back yourself whether you really need the extra 2 cores tongue.gif

but as many mentioned, s3 got many features software wise which other phones dunhav.

as for me, since now i'm stuck with a 40nm processor, i might as well just wait for the 28nm.

The problem is he hates using casing. Same with me where i prefer use and hold a naked phone. White colour on S2 and GNote can be slippery when our hands sweating as the back cover is glossy. Much better grip on black colour as it use different texture where it got some groove.

From the moment that The Gadget Show’s Suzi Perry took the stage and begun spouting platitudes about the rampant, unabated progress of technology, and how faster CPU speeds and bigger screens aren’t inherently a good thing, it was clear that the Samsung Galaxy S3 represents a significant, humanist shift for the gargantuan South Korean conglomerate. For more than an hour, in the massive Earls Court exhibition hall, we sat through slide after slide and video after video that demonstrated, beyond all doubt, that Samsung has finally realized how to compete with Apple.

The Samsung Galaxy S3 is all about software; the apps, the interface, the widgets, the user experience — the Galaxy S3′s software has been written from the ground up to produce “human-centric mobile experiences.

http://www.extremetech.com/computing/12857...ut-iphone-apple

kinda a good short read. seem like sammy is reach for a different approach now. explaining the not so much overated hardware figures anymore?


Added on May 5, 2012, 11:32 pm

and to be honest it’s quite hard to hit while keeping a stable grip on the phone — the price you pay for a huge screen and tiny bezel.

http://www.extremetech.com/mobile/128397-h...msung-galaxy-s3

suddenly, makes so much sense...she raised the difficulty of hitting the homebutton while holding d phone...s2 never hv tis problemm lol...

oooohhhffff...i hate waiting for the real ting to arrive at our shore n go play now!

My 9mth old s2 rear samsung metallic brand stil in pristine condition tho d rear plastic d looked lik it had gone to few wars n back lol
To anyone who do think d s3 is not tht great, even my humble self lol, pls check out d images someone posted very earlier, i wonder if it has been added to d first page or not.

I found those pictures awesome of d s3 especially d one lying on d table. D slimness tht curves lays s2 design in shame. Its lik a supermodel body lying on the beach wit a lean but flat girl, s2...

How to match??? Why no one here hv nexus ma? Maybe can give some input since d s3 design has got some  nexus blood in it

I own the G.Nex. I just can't stand the glossy back and the camera/speaker/flash placement. Guessing Sammy is playing safe then. Also, quite a bugger not much 4.0 devices have on screen buttons, except for the a day before S3 release of Pantech's Vega Racer 2. Curvature of the S3 is welcomed though.

They should have used nature as the main tagline

just check it thoroughly, no sticky out laaaa. its flat and great,
the home button, if you look from front it look like a bit pop, but seeing from bottom angel, all is flat

is it just optical illusion, or the phone a lil wee bit curvy?

TBH, native 3G call is really obsolete, no offence. How many ppl still use 3G call? For video call, mostly ppl now use Fring / Tango / Skype as it support WIFI plus you don't have to pay additional call charges for 3G. It is much more cheaper
