Anyone going to get this phone? I'm looking forward to it, especially for the camera. Looks pretty awesome.
Guess no one has any interest in it.
Which generation is the Snapdragon processor? Is Exynos SoC better than this still? No externel SD slot which is a fail for me.
It has an SD card slot right next to the HDMI out.

I think its Snapdragon S3, but that's based on the Xperia being S3. Exynos > S3, but if it is S4 than it will be more powerful than even Exynos.

I have heard that this will be an LTE capable phone on AT&T. That might make the difficulties worth it.
I like the sony tablet S1, so this phone is definitely worth a look, especially with that camera. Need a replacement for my point and shoot anyway. 12.1 MP's with a f/2.4 and a 1900mAH battery is worth a close look
What does f2.4 mean? Is that good?
Part of camera spec. The Xperias have a hellova camera on-board, my x10 is 2 yrs old and it already sported 8.1 mp. earbrain

Wouldn't be so fast as to just make a blanket no statement. Other phones have worked with some 64gb cards when they were only supposed to support 32. Only way to find out is for someone to try.

This is prob more of an Android general thing but I gotta say more space is nice but really a pain in the butt if u ask me. I have a 16g but mostly run 4g ones because the scanning at best is SLOW compared to a basic hard drive. I can only imagine anything beyond 16 being frustratingly unusable for my work habits. 16 really is to tell u the truth. I move a lot of small files around and the bigger the card the longer it takes. Lets just say that's an area I certainly hope will improve in the near future, there's certainly room for it. Til then Ill just deal w it as a nec evil. eb

About the only thing i saw skimming that wouldn't make it for sure is the screen.
Doubling the ram isnt crazy at all. 12MP while not even desirable due to image noise is pretty low considering the HTC Titan II and others are sporting 16MP sensors. 2 Ghz A9 dual core is available pushing it a little but hey.
12 megapixels actually can be pretty good. It isnt all about megapixels. My wife has a 500 dollar Canon that is only 14. I am pretty sure our 8 megapixel is better than a lot of phones.
On my Epic mobile phone.
I think that is the Sprint LTE phone to get. My SGS2E4GT will last me until there is LTE in my area. By then the GNex will be old news. SGS3 will be my upgrade.
I hated 3D. I got an EVO 3D before and is not good watching a full movie. It hurts your eye. Why not change the screen size to match the galaxy note.
Rumors or not that image is awesome..
Go a little stronger on the radios this time Samsung... kthx.
Reality S3 probably:
1.5 Quadcore - 12MP Camera - 16/32GB - 2GB Ram
Wishful S3:
2.5GB Quadcore - 16MP camera - 32/64GB - 2/3GB Ram
What will make me say WOW is if I could replace my laptop and be able to handle medium to light heavy processing power of a laptop (probably s4)... Until then it's business as usual.
If that's true, I'm starting to save right now.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
Those specs are nice, but they better make sure the radios they user are to of the line with no GPS issues or loss of signal problems and slow 3g.
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII EPIC 4g Touch on XDA Premium!
We have to remember we're dealing with a phone manufacturer AND processor maker here. It all depends on which route Samsung decides to go with their processors...the Nvidia route, and racing to add more cores; or the qualcomm route, and trying to improve and refine their dual cores. Both ways offer benefits.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't quad core. Quad core is sorta overkill and it might be a battery hog. I am thinking something bigger than 1.5 dual core is in order though.

I have tried to convince the HTC fanboys exactly this but they don't want to hear it. All they have to say it, Samsung phones are plastic and junk.....Um okay, I will enjoy my junk phone that destroys the EVO 3D in every way but you keep thinking your phone is better.
I am so glad I gave this phone a chance because it made me realize how crappy and underachievers HTC phones really are.
Whatever the SGS3 will have it will have to be an upgrade from the SGS2 and because of that, I will be on it!

No I didn't because I left my phone on the reply screen via tapatalk as I typed my message. Also, no one can officially determine what might come to be within the next months.
So your point being is? We both hope the sprint version gets the 2 GB's of ram, and an exynos processor.
It won't be Exynos... as of now, those are incompatible with 4G networks. Unless some technology breakthrough occurs, then it's the S4. But the S4 isn't really even worse than the Exynos. Granted it is dual core, it still benchmarks really similar scores.
The 2GB RAM sounds like a likely possibility though. I'm sure they would include it if the Japanese get it with the same processor.
Wasn't Sony suppose to release a 12mp android soon?

I'm gonna guess it'll just be a minor upgrade...
1.8Ghz Tegra 4/Exynos CPU
Standard 8MP camera
2 or 3GB of RAM
4.8" or 5" 720p SAMOLED++ screen, can't say whether they'll use PenTile or not.
One thing it should have is at least 2GB ddr3 maybe even a 128GB storage model, I'm sure the iphone6 will use these parts and Sammy may as well to, since they wIll be the first to produce them in a mobile chip
It needs a usb port on the top and bottom too.
That would be awesome.

Of course people in the HTC camp are gonna hate. Samsung pulls out all the stops. Bring on the 3GB!
They need to do away with ex_sdcard... what's more external than dropbox? add 32 gb of internal and your good.
Well they probably will make it into quad core since the note 2 will come with the exynos chip. They finally support lte. I would still wait for the next galaxy though.
Blasphemy! A new phone coming out that's faster than my phone?! Omg
6in screen with 4gb would be nice.

I like external storage too. They just need to find a better way to utilize it when having large internal storage as well.
Oh, and this is easily the best phone I've owned. I say that about almost every phone I get, but I was just kidding myself if I ever said it with the EVO 3D and EVO 4G. I haven't had one issue with this phone since I bought it. I would have had to already return any HTC phone for some reason or another and I did with the EVO 3D, 4G, and LTE. 3D had screen separation issues, 4G developed a random spot, and the LTE had a weird lighting problem towards the bottom that looked like a string of LEDs were at the bottom of my screen.
I have the evo lte and was thinking about switching to the sg3, I'm not really a fan of the hardware button though. I can't decide that's why I wanted your opinion, I've used your stuff since the original evo.
So im going to buy a new phone which one do you guys think is better to purchase
T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S III or Google Nexus 4
The Nexus 4. The N4 has much better specs than the US S3. Also, if you are going to buy the phone off-contract, the N4 is around half the price of the Galaxy S3.

Yep do this. Is the S4 coming out?.. sorry if it sounds stupid but I read that the Koreans are gonna announce it February and release it on March. Sounds crazy but that's kinda the only reason why I decided not to upgrade to S3.
I would choose S3 over the N4. N4 doesn't have an external storage and the most it has I think is 16gb. I'm using a 34gb card with my S2 and on the S3 I'll be using a 64(I think it's 64?...)gb card on it. Plus N4 had no LTE.. if your sticking with T-Mobile then LTE compatibility shouldn't matter. Screen is smaller.. I dunno there was a bunch of other stuff. Google it.

That would be my number one reason as well. I save all the important stuff from my phone on the micro sd (before it goes on the hard drive) and if the phone dies, my precious data will not.
N4
I think a benefit of the N4 would be the android updates would come first to it since its Google's new flagship phone. The specs are good on both and would work flawlessly.
One of the factors that I would look at is the expandable memory cuz u never know if ur gonna need. Both r good phones but on the n4 I think u well run out of space faster and surprise !! no extra memory. Went through this on my n7 it is nice having the vanilla flaver though.

- You want to upgrade from Xperia Play to a faster phone.
- You DON'T MIND that it will be touch screen-only.
- It must be an Android phone.
- You don't want to pay much so you're OK with let's say a dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM
- Compatibility is important, so you want most of your current Android apps (that work on XPlay) to be compatible with your new phone.
- Should have a decent camera, at least 8Mpx - but this is not SO important.
- "Sony Xperia" line is EXCLUDED (I had some bad xperience with Xperia P)
Which current phone would you choose?
Depends by what you mean by not paying much. The Nexus 4 is relatively cheap isn't it? Taking into account it's specs, it's quite a bargain.
