reached V3 even the phone is not here yet.
Awesome!!!

S2 reached v5 before it was release finally.
Either the anticipation was less this time or s3 is faster launch.

I think this is the beast that gonna conquer the flagship phone... since HTC one X cannot be launch in USA due to lawsuit from Apple...
and the reason behind such design curve here and there is to protect S3 get into another lawsuit which started by Apple...
p/s: u knw ... when kids lost fight they will find excuses...

Reason is bcos it allows slimmer design phones.

if u go thru the previous thread, a forummer mentioned that gsmarena is misleading readers and reports are biased towards samsung.
it is even thought that gsmarena was paid by samsung. sweat.gif
so read it with a pinch of salt and lots of skeptism.

dun be influence too much yeah. u shld make ur purchasing decision only after u had tried and tested the actual unit.

But it does achieve purpose to inform the general public.

Actually, the S3 is not made out of plastic, it uses the same material as the One X

Though you can't really feel it since it's coated with Hyperglaze
*
Did not hv the chance to feel it properly, but based on the feedback so far, it's feel is cheap and not suitable as a premium phone. It is likely that HTC and Nokia used higher quality of polycarbonate

LOL! I can't help but laugh reading this.
Will reserve judgement? Aren't you the one who keep on calling Samsung as samseng, and bash this phone right after the launch in London?
Let people have their own anticipation & excitement, keep yours to yourself.
*
Dun be childish and start fights. U must apologize otherwise will report u for rude behavior.

The reason why Samsung = SAMSENG.

My Cantonese fren told me that in Chinese Samsung is called three stars or 三星.
In Cantonese pronounce, it is SAM SENG.

Anyway, I am willing to give u forgiveness if u apologize.

Depends on you actually. What do you normally put in your phone? If you use your phone as just a smartphone that uses apps, then 16gb is more than enough. But if you intend to put stuff like music/movies, then I doubt 16 is enough.
*
in any case, u can add microsd card. dun forget also, 50gb free from dropbox.

Was worrying, is it really a good choice to get the 1st batch? Before this I have many problem.with HOX 1st batch stock.

yeah, 1st batch by kimchis usually got problems. thats why they provide 'gifts' to reduce the butt hurt.
the best is to wait a few more mths for them to detect n solve de issues.

h1x was a good example.

Btw.. since this is my first android.... wanna know does the saving of apps goes to mass memory and not the phone memory which is usually smaller??? Symbian can save into different memory and maemo cant really do that.... so android can??
*
phone memory is usually smaller. u can upgrade the storage by buying additional memory cards. but u can't do that for internal memory. it is not like computer RAM.

Techradar (one of the most comprehensive and neutral) review of s3

Rating 4.5/5

http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mo...#articleContent


Some highlights

QUOTE
We'll lay it out right now: the plastic feeling of the Galaxy S3 won't appeal to all. It feels very lightweight (despite tipping the scales at 133g) in the hand, and some people will read this as feeling a little cheap.

- the Galaxy S3 is not a cheap-feeling phone. It's got a really solid Gorilla Glass front, a well-packaged interior and a more robust battery cover. It's polycarbonate rather than bog-standard plastic, although we're not sure some people will like the more rounded nature of the design (although it's purely subjective).

There's no doubt in our minds that the Pebble Blue offering is the much more attractive option, as the Marble White looks similar to a low-end Galaxy Mini or similar – the brushed effect is really necessary.
QUOTE
The keyboard, like its predecessor, is not quite up to the task at the moment. We're talking shades of grey here, as many will find it quite adequate, but in our opinion the level of accuracy when tapping out a message isn't always the greatest.
Also, the predictive text option could still do with a lot of work, getting nowhere near to the accuracy of the likes of the HTC stock keyboard or third party options like SwiftKey.

S2 still looks the best!

QUOTE
The other 'smart' idea Samsung had was the idea that voice recognition could work with

Smart Voice – and we hope that this does actually happen as it was nowhere near Siri level on the Samsung Galaxy S2.

It's based on Vlingo, and offers you the chance to do pretty much everything Siri on the iPhone can do – it even parses Wolfram Alpha to get its information.
But it doesn't have Siri's sense of humour – ask it what its name is, and it will tell you Wolfram Alpha. It won't label the Nokia Lumia 900 as the best phone ever, and it also doesn't know the meaning of life.
However what it can do is simple tasks, such as opening the calendar, making an appointment or start playing a specific song or playlist. You'll have no joy with videos and searching the web can be a bind, but for items like setting a timer or an alarm or activating driving mode, it's perfect.
Well, we say perfect – the speech recognition is still a little bit iffy at times and the network connectivity can be frustratingly slow, but if you're in a car or somewhere else where hands free operation is a must then it's a good tool to have.
Another, larger, problem is the fact S Voice froze the phone a little too regularly, especially when activating it through Bluetooth headset or constantly jumping in and out of the app.

However, we wish Samsung would get rid of this idea of being able to wake the phone with a certain command – you can do so from the lock screen or the app itself, and you can train to phone to know your own command too.
But when will it ever be needed? If you're turning on the lock screen anyway, you can just press the home key twice to fire up the app, and if you're in it already, just press the blinkin' button at the bottom – we don't need to say anything to the phone.
You can't help but feel that S Voice is nothing more than a 'me too' addition to the phone – you can't do anything cool like take a picture with your voice, so what's the point? In fairness, we've said the same about Siri – it's not a novelty, but it's not a headline feature.
So to summarise: S Voice is about 90% as good as Siri, given that all we use that for now is setting a timer or making it say funny things.

Smart Stay


One of the other big-hitting features Samsung is talking about is the ability to track your eyeballs to make sure the display stays lit when you're looking at it.
In theory this should mean that you can keep the screen timeout to a minimum of fifteen seconds and then never have to worry about it turning off – a little eye icon (eyecon?) appears in the notification bar when it's tracking your peepers.
In practice it works around 75% of the time… even in bright light it can sometimes still turn off the display, despite the icon showing up. In fact, the icon can pop up even when you're wearing sunglasses – so it's hard to trust it.
However, if you're in an evenly-lit space it will generally catch your eye and keep the display on – we just feel it should be completely flawless as a system when you're in a well-lit area.
Update: We've spoken to Samsung about this, and the brand has told us that the reason for both of these features being a little erratic is down to 'optimisation of cutting edge, innovative features' (read: they're new) and promises tweaks may be made in the near future to fix any issue. Here's hoping it's sooner rather than later.
To be continued.

what i did is to contribute this forum with open heart.

u guys must open minds. like android which is open source.

u'all dun have to bash me if i don't follow u to kneel down n worship the s3 god.
