The specifications for the SGSIII are of course subject to change, but are Samsung-developed 2.0GHz quad-core CPU (no codename given), 1.5gb RAM, 32gb internal memory (with sd card slot), and a 4.65 inch screen. A new display called Super AMOLED III is being developed specifically for the phone (SGS had Super AMOLED, SGS II had Super AMOLED Plus, SGS III has Super AMOLED III) with 1280x1024 resolution, giving the phone a ppi of 352, which they emphasized that a 352ppi will make it the highest ppi mobile phone
hmm wait for galaxy 3 then right before launch some Galaxy 4 specs will be revealed its a never ending of cycle of wishes.

I agree. I think they ned to just work on perfecting their current screens and density, and making the software and hardware work better together making battery life even better. Maybe release the phone already rooted. Lol Maybe have separate roms made they could even sell them.

i'm having buyers remorse with word about the Nexus Prime supposedly to hit next month.
i guess i should be saying i **HAD** since it'll probably launch on Verizon and take 1/2 year to a year to make it to sprint like it did for the nexus s, but i'm in love with ET4G. striving for the best phone out there is moronic unless you have nothing better to do in your life
dont mean to threadjack. just sharing.
btw. Super Amoled III = HD super Amoled?
There will always be buyers remorse in the smart phone market given that there are new releases every couple of months. Only way to avoid it is to get a phone that does everything you need it to do and will continue to do so until your next upgrade and realize that you don't need a phone with quadcore SOC. Not yet, anyway.
a year away...
getting ready to bug them for upgrade then too

This.
Until phones reach the same levels computers are today the development of phones will increase by a lot. It's kind of good and bad at the same time. The good part is that it pushes development to turning phones into portable computers and adds that competition between producers, making phones stronger and cheaper, but the bad part is that it causes phones to come out every few months.
No buyers remorse here this things like a sexy hamburger. Now when it come out my mind may change.

I don't think I will but only because of the size. I have small hands and the E4GT is at the top of my comfort level already but the Note is a sweet looking device so I will give it a look if it does come to Sprint. I think the rumored Sprint name is the Galaxy Journal?

I believe kc said he had a note a gnex a evo lte and something else. I would drop this phone in a heartbeat for the note/journal. I already struggle trying to type in portrait on this phone.
I always keep my phone on my hip so a case would not be needed by me, but I do understand the concern.

I really would like to get one but I'm having second thoughts about paying full price for a bigger screen. I should, but doubt I will knowing my impulsiveness, wait to see if there's any problems initially like there was with this phone when it first comes out. I will also wonder what kind of specs the g3 well have and when it will be here for us. Those are the two I'm watching. Also, if the note still has a dual core snapdragon when it comes out for us, I might pass. Two steps forward with the hardware then one back with the CPU.
Id buy one first day.

Very true statement. If it domes with an S4pro with the new adreno gpu that thing will be a monster. I know that Samsung will eventually integrate lte in their processors but when is the question.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Yes. Give me one with LTE and any exynos processor and I would be totally satisfied and have no need for anything else for the rest of that contract at least!
With how big the battery is, couldn't they just put an lte radio in there and have a toggle to turn it off and on like wimax? Then it would still be our responsibility to watch the battery. I could totally go for something like that as long as they kept the exynos. But do not count out the S4pro it has the upgraded gpu also with lte built on the die.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
If it came with ICS out of the box, and LTE support. Would definitely pick it up.
Because I too will be paying full price (unless I come up with a way to sweet talk an early upgrade out of someone) and since I'm not even 100% sold on getting the phone, I'm definitely going to wait awhile and see how it performs. Also the extra wait time will allow a chance for the SG3 to possibly make an appearance, that's the phone I really want.
But I'm a major gadget whore so there's no guarantee what I will or won't buy regardless the cost. lol
I don't know...I like the Note, but I would need a few things in order to lock myself in for 2 more years for it. First, LTE capability. ICS would be good, but not necessary at launch for me.
It would need an upgraded processor though. With the Evo LTE coming out and the SGS III likely to be announced sometime soon, I don't want to get stuck with a last gen processor for 2 years.
Honestly, I probably won't make a decision on my next phone until I see what Sammy has up their sleeve.

Actually, what we really need would be Google Wallet support for our GS3's without the hack-around. But we know that wouldn't work with Apple since they're now Anti-Google. Forget where i saw it... think it was on the news earlier, but i like how they put it. Something along the lines of "There is so much competition between Apple and Google, that Apple decided to recreate the world." in regards to Apple's new maps system.

This.
Its almost impossible to get (cheap) nfc tags in Canada. I asked a Best Buy rep at the Eaton Centre store in Toronto a couple of days ago, and he had no idea what NFC was.
I was really hoping the new iphone would have it so that it would become 'mainstream', but guess we have to wait another year now. Also, doesn't help that stupid S Beam is incompatible with Android Beam (try transferring photos to any non-GS3 phone, it will fail..till we get updated to JellyBean)

i remember reading reviews almost 'ranting' about how light the galaxy s and galaxy s ii were. people were saying 'too light', 'does not feel premium because phone does not feel substantial in hand', 'iphone is perfect with high quality weight to it', 'sometimes not sure if in pocket or not'. something along those lines.
and i read this on a youtube comment but I think it could hold some truth. could Apple have not included nfc (even if it wanted to/why wouldn't they want to?), because it already finalized its aluminum design? fail.

Not sure when or if we will get LTE in my area. Before I moved to my new area I had it since it was released with Verizon. The performance you get for the price with the Nexus 4 is too good for me to pass up. If ever feel the need that I have to use LTE I will use one of my other devices with it if/when my area gets it.

I have owned literally EVERY high end android device that has been available in the US. Even some that haven't for that matter. But this is by far the best device i've ever owned. It excels in every area. The display is phenomenal, the specs are top notch, and the real world use is where it should be considering the power this thing flaunts. As far as smoothness and fluidity go it's in a league of its own. I've had the note 2, i've had the one x+, I've had the dna, and they cant even hold a candle to this device. All we need now is for some of the awesome devs we have to pump out some JB ROM's and we're golden. The dev support is there though. With all those things considered, I'm going as far as to say this is the best phone ever made IMHO. Thoughts anyone?

Severely doubt that rumor. Samsung is Android's Apple. They will bump as minimally as possible to sell the next model. Quad core, 2gb ram, 16gb storage. Book it.
This phone is the best on the market outside of the Nexus 4. If we can get past this bootimg bull**** from Sprint and LG we'll have a really fun phone. HTC Evo had a very slow takeoff as well, and before you knew it there were too many roms. We're almost there and I love it.

I can honestly say this is he best I've had so far. At first I was considering the iPhone 5, but too many people at my job had it. Did a lot of research on this phone and saw a lot of people bashing it before it even came out. When the phone was released I went to sprint to get a feel for he phone and they didn't even have it on display! No love was given to this phone at first. I took the leap and bought it at bestbuy anyway. Best decision I made as far as picking a phone. My brother got the gs3 and when I showed him my phone he liked the lgog more. Not to mention his phone is always on the charger as opposed to mine lol. Glad this phone is getting some love tho.

At my school (I'm a teenager) everyone has either iPhones or Galaxy or an older android. No one honestly has the Optimus G, as far as I can see.
And everyone is like "I LOVE YOUR PHONE!!!" I am very happy I got this phone.
At first I didn't want it with rumors being LG wasn't the greatest and....no removable backing. But I bought it and it was the best decision ever.
Only thing that would make it better is if the JB update came to my area already

This may be shallow of me but love how the phone feels in my hand-the form and solid feel of the build. Just feels very well made. How well it works is just a bonus!

Agreed. I almost didn't want to put a case on it because I like the feel of the phone. A case is a must tho.

Well we've got a little over a month to go before we hit that magical 18 month mark and the support cycle for our beloved nexii ends. Not that that matters a whole lot, but its a milestone nonetheless. Despite the ongoing battery struggles and some awful early (and sometimes reappearing) signal issues, I have to say that I've loved this phone, and at the end of the day it really did meet most most of my expectations. It can still handle pretty much everything you can throw at it, even at 18 months old, and that's not something you can say about a lot phones at this point in their life cycles. I did hate it while we were waiting for the first official radio update and 4.04, and even then I never really stopped thinking about selling it. But from the first JB update and since, I've been a happy camper and even turned down a family member's offer to buy me a full price Note 2 or DNA.
Interested to hear what other launch day or close-to-launch day purchasers would say about if and how it has lived up to their expectations.

I have had my nexus since December 2011, not exactly launch day but that was the soonest I could get my hands on it in Canada. My experience in owning this device has been interesting. In the end I have realized what features I value more then others based on the nexus' downfalls. Some of these include radio strength, battery life, camera quality and of course software is still vital to me.
The 18 months is coming quickly upon us and our Galaxy nexus is probably only going to get one more official update and to be honest I'm fine with it, as this will give me extra reason to upgrade.

Well I've had my nexus for about 8 months or so now. I did not upgrade when it first came out and stuck with the nexus s for a bit.
Then got the note 1 for a while. Then finally came over late last year cause I got tired of waiting on Samsung to release jellybean for the note 1.
Anyway... I can easily say this has been the best experience I've had with any handset. Never been happier.
Jellybean solved a lot of problems with the fluidity and speed of the already excellent android experience.
The handset itself is still a beauty too. I never get tired of those sexy curves and all clean black front end with no buttons!
The handset still runs well with no big issues. Games and apps load in an almost instant. Blazing fast still. I will keep it for a good while I think.
Will try and wait till the fall at least. See what the next nexus brings. Or that Motorola x phone.
The only thing I would change about the galaxy nexus would be more ram. It's the only small issue I have very rarely. Especially when using chrome with a few tabs open. It eats a lot of ram at times.
But all in all... This has been and still is an excellent handset. Love it

I've had mine since launch day on Verizon, and I stuck with it after the fiasco of the launch date that was delayed and delayed. I wanted the nexus experience and I have enjoyed it for the most part, but Verizon has ruined some of the experience with their late updates and such. I will be keeping this phone as long as I can since I am grandfathered into the unlimited data so I don't want to upgrade. When it comes time to get a new phone, I hope I have the option to buy a nexus.

Did google said anything about that 18 month something? I think you're all being paranoid. Go ahead and flash something coz it looks like y'all need your medication.
I thought support ends after 2 years?
I/O is coming.
And I thought support was for 2 major Android versions. Like the Nexus S.

I bought my Gnex used and I've had it about 9 months. I love the pure Google experience and it helped me survive to the end of my contract with VZW. I'm waiting to see if Google has something up their sleeve at I/O for a new Nexus phone. I'll probably go to the Nexus 4 or whatever they announce then and free myself from carrier crap. Though maybe I'll wait until my Gnex craps out first and buy a Nexus 10 to replace my aging Iconia A500. Anyway, I'm firm in the Nexus camp!
Going by past history, each nexus device is roughly supported for around 2 years, which means we might stop getting official updates at around october..

I am on my second Contract with verizon...my first 2 year contract had the OG droid, Droid X and HTC thunderbolt in there. this is the only phone i have had on the current contract. i Do have urges to get a used S3 and throw an AOSP ROM on it, but i still think i would miss my Nexus.
all of my phones, i have tried everything in my power to make it as close to a nexus device as possible....and now that i have a nexus device, i dont have to worry about it. it is always up to date, it is super smooth, i haven't run into any issues, the Community is EXACTLY what i wanted, and the phone is even more than what i wanted. a phone that is still smooth and fast 15 months after i bought it, i am simply amazed.
and this phone gets more and more exciting come these google events, because i know i will have what they announce later that day or the following one.
I've had this phone for over a year which is an eternity for me. I still enjoy it so I'm having trouble convincing myself to retire it which is good thing. Sure there's now faster phones with bigger screens and better hardware but this thing still holds its own.
My only hope now is that I accidentally break it to give me reason to replace it. Maybe then my wife will understand. :laugh:

Oh man! This is exactly how I feel. I'm tempted to buy the N4, but I feel guilty because my gnex still works perfectly. Also if I pull the trigger and buy the N4, I'm going to regret the decision by the end of this year when the next Nexus comes out.
I might just get drunk one day and make the purchase and blame alcohol for the decision!

Exactly my thoughts too! If it works, why bother replacing it? I'm getting a Nexus tablet to satisfy that buying urge. I'll probably hold out until the Nextsus before I doing any phone upgrading.
