There's definitely going to be grey imports haha. The source that posted that picture online used to grey import the korean HD variants of the S2 before and even imported the HTC One XL from korea.

Well they said they had a source, that pic is definitely not up to scale and PSed but who knows, the site posted it belongs to a website that is kinda famous in Aussie that have imported lots of phones from korea.

It really depends on the person. You can definitely put more apps in with the 32gb or live enough without a micro sd with teh 32gb version but most people would have more than enough with the 16gb with some kind of micro sd card.

Should also note that you don't get 16gb with the internal storage, you only get around 11gb

Well the system is taking more here.
In the SII you get around 11GB to use as you please and around 2GB as an app partition. Here you get around 11GB both for apps and any other stuff you want to put in. There's no separate app partition in the SIII. Just wanted to make people aware of that =)

I don't think there is a class 10 64gb micro sdxc. Sandisk's is a class 6. Anyway here's a good price I guess

If you want a 32gb micro sdhc. Samsung's Class Micro sd is very good.

Buying from those countries takes just a short while to get here and great prices.

ah ok, so they are UHS Class 1 which gives equivalent write speeds to class 10.
Bought one recently to prepare for the SIII and was wondering why the write speed was around 11mb when I tested it with H2tesw. Didn't realize that haha, thought it was the same as my old one which is class 6 and is in my tablet.
Bought it around 75 dollars online recently.

Usually, in older android phones and in some newer phones which chooses to use the old format (like the HTC One X) the internal memory is split into a small system partition where apps are installed (though some apps can be moved from there while some can't) and another user accessible partition where you can put anything you want and also where data for some bigger apps like HD games are stored (the game (which is small) is installed in the app partition but the main data of some of those could be like 500mb and stored in the huge partition).


Now let's talk in about the S3. Google wants ICS devices to only have one partition for everything (though manufacturers are free to choose what they want to do) but the S3 follows this convention in which there is only one partition of internal memory so there is a huge space for apps unlike previously where there was only a small bit of internal memory eg. 2gb or lower for apps. For the 16gb version, you have access to about 11.5gb of space to put apps and anything you please. Then there's also the micro sd which varies depending on what you choose, you can move certain apps to the sd card though not all as some needs to stay in the internal storage to work. The S3 supports a micro SD card up to 64gb.

Yup, apparently not ready yet so being pushed back, it needs to be purchased separately and will cost something around 120 dollars or so, not really worth it in my opinion.
It'll come with the wireless charging kit and a different back cover for the S3.

obviously because having 32gb of internal memory and adding a 16gb micro sd to a phone is not the same

Anybody know whether the SIII can handle Hi10p 10 bit mkv files?

Both gorilla glass has the same strength though but the Gorilla Glass 2 is 20% thinner.

Nop, the One X uses the original corning gorilla glass and not gorilla glass 2

If this was some random guy doing it, I'd be happier since they spend their money buy my product, then do video show how tough my product is = free marketing.

Well in my opinion, I'd like the blue front because the colour is darker and it'll look good alongside the deep blacks of the AMOLED screen.

of course this is my opinion and it'll differ from yours =)

Just wanna put a useful software for you guys to try out after hunting for a micro sd.

Basically just to make sure you don't get a fake or faulty micro sd =)
It'll write to the card until the card is full then verify the data and when it's done will tell you whether there's any problem and it'll give you the average write speed as well.

UK start selling tomorrow. It's already out in dubai though.

Though becoming like that by just a drop seems weird. Either that guy is very unlucky or he's lying. I'll give the benefit of the doubt and say he's very unlucky.

Anyway people should know by now, gorilla glass is not scratch proof or indestructible. They are just a lot tougher than average glass.
