Yeah, I was really surprised. They don't look that amazing in photos, but they said that pictures didn't do the phones justice.

Why do I get the feeling that these rumored specs for the SIII are a bunch of bullshit made up to get page views?
Because its likely thats what they are. Have we even seen Samsung release a 1080P tablet screen yet? I mean, we would likely see it there before we see it on a phone.

I just dont understand why you need that high of a resolution on such a small screen. Does it help with touch capabilities, or have other gains? I'm not complaining if it runs smoothly, just kind of ignorant to what its doing lol
Wait...

Re: HTC One X
Every year, the phones get bigger. And every year, the tech sites are all giving the "This new, slightly bigger size is more than you'd think a phone should ever be but it actually feels good. We can see how this size is the absolute limit, though" nonsense. Our hands are not growing every year!

There are a whole lot, and videos, too. Their hub for HTC news from MWC is one of the featured articles at the very top of the main page.

You meant LG Nexus Optimus featuring Android 5.0 with intel Atom inside.
Haha thanks. Dunno how I didn't see it
It sounded like Supercurio (voodoo dev) was trying convince his Samsung contacts of the benefits of letting their phones switch between the two, so I'd say there is at least a very slim possibility that they agreed to implement such an option.
with that said, no way that list is real.

The SGSIII list looks more like a wish-list than an actual possible specs list.

Fake. No mention of the confirmed laser gun functionality.
People actually wish for a 4.8" screen?
What other "specs" can we pull out of our collective arses?
haha

Those guys with Galaxy Note are sporting 5.3" screens.

Too good to be true. That phone sounds fantastic.
I'm thinking about going to a galaxy nexus from my Galaxy S international.... I dunno it might be worth waiting for an S3 tho

So what is Titanium Backup good for?
I installed my first rom today and I feel I did something wrong because I didn't use it.
Also a big thanks to the people who helped explain things to me earlier in the thead. I'm sort of regretting rooting/romming but the way I see it I don't want to be stuck with ugly touchwiz ics so I should just experiment with some roms and hope cynogen mod 9 comes to my phone.
Gulp. If this is true then it's probably going to be for all there ics releases which means I rooted and rommed for nothing.

Guys, its totally true! Only $399 on contract!
Many ROM's require a full data wipe when you update them down the road. With TB you can backup all of your apps such as games along with their save files. After you install the ROM update your phone will be pretty much empty. You then would use TB to restore all of your old apps and settings.
Can't you get rid of ugly TouchWiz by simply changing the launcher to something like GoLauncherEX?

Damn!! That's expensive but it has a 12MP camera with a LED Flash at least. Too bad it doesn't have an external memory slot (SD or M2) although 32GB is great and it still a beautiful phone!
Sadly is really out of my budget designated for gadgets in my life that has an enormous risk of being an easy target for robbers.
Anyway thanks dude for the info!

Yes, GoLauncher doesn't need Touchwiz at all, but when you plug your phone to your PC you should jump back to Touchwiz to avoid bugs in the process and it's almost mandatory if you want to use Kies with your phone, but thankfully it's easy to jump between both!
That only gets rid of the launcher, it doesn't change all the modifications Samsung has made to the System UI. Touchwiz to me is the whole ugly mess, not just the launcher.
that's a different phone.
Nonono, the 4.8" 1080p screen is one of the more plausible leaks* on the list. http://www.conceivablytech.com/3713/products/1080p-on-a-4-8-display
That link is from october 2010.
* leaks or made up list of BS, someone could have seen that page to make the list look creditable, but the tech is there

One thing I hope Samsung continues to do is take headphones audio quality seriously on the SGSIII. I think Wolfson DAC is good and dead now in Galaxy, probably because the cost was no longer acceptable to Samsung, but they really nailed it using the rather ordinary DAC included with the TI OMAP on the Tuna. Most companies don't really take headphones audio quality seriously (I'm looking at you, Motorola!), or they are coasting on past reputation (take a bow, Apple!), or they prefer gimmicks to real quality (why hallo thar, HTC!). Samsung has been the one for people who actually care about listening to music on their phones.

With all the announcements having been made, I think the Xperia S is the phone which interests me the most still (when taking my price range into account).
One S nearly did it, looks like it will be slightly cheaper than the Xperia, but only 16gb and no card slot, and a lower resolution display (even if it is samoled).
Course if I find a few hundred quid then the One X and the 4x hd look like beasts, and the SGS3 is looming, but i'm not that lucky.

This is probably the best looking Android phone I've ever seen. I'm really not into the OS, but I'd totally get that phone as a toy phone, if I had the money right now.
Yeah. I was thinking about getting the phone, but I'm reconsidering now.
