Support NeoGAF

[LordAlu]

It's wireless charging as in just putting it on a pad. Also, why when the commercial was being shown did it cut to a camera miles away moving around? :/

Flip cover image looks nice.

 

[voodooray]

"great commercial" - Voice of impartiality right there.

Have any Samsung Korea execs been wheeled out yet?

 

[Toki767]

Oh look...they made an iPod nano.

 

[Cipherr]

"we're going to announce the complete details for this on our US tour" = QUALCOMM'D

Thank god. That means I can buy a OneX and not regret anything. Like.....not a single solitary fuck.

Wtf it looks worse than the Droid x which is 2 years old and lower res.

Whoa whoa whoa what the hell? Keep your criticism within reason young man. That right there is just ridiculous.

 

[Divvy]

How is their wireless charging implementation any different from what Palm did back in 2009?

Supposedly according to rumours, the phone doesn't have to be touching the dock at all. It could be like a meter away.

"The young generation"

what are you SAYING?!

 

[-COOLIO-]

Wireless charging?!!!

and im back in

 

[dream]

It shares what's in your heart, guys.

 

[JoeFu]

So looking at the international version it doesn't support T-Mobile's bands, which is normal I guess. Too bad it doesn't support the same bands the Galaxy Nexus does.

Also not getting the pentile hate, the screen on my Nexus is amazing, I mean i get some purple in my grays when its at 0% brightness, but mine is never there...

 

[reKon]

Wtf it looks worse than the Droid x which is 2 years old and lower res. You can easily see that the width between pixels and it creates a low res look even tho it's not.

Lol, are you kidding me? The Galaxy Nexus screen?

 

[red731]

I must piss, my dog needs to piss, its pissing outside and nature galaxy with real water sounds.

Awesome.

 

[TheDiabolical]

as long as i cant make it refer to me as "Rock God" im good.

now your just being an idiot if you think the Gnex screen looks worse then the Droid X

 

[bananas]

"We're talking about serious stuff now."

Okay, lady.

 

[rozay]

you do realize that those pixels are "off" unlike the rest of the phone, so the burn in is impossible?

Well from what I saw in pictures, that's the actual problem...the softkey strip looks visibly different compared to the other 98% of the screen. I'm guessing it's a similar issue to how people tell you to watch content without black borders for the first 200ish hours when breaking in a plasma TV.

Also, the battery and time on my nexus one are actually burned into the screen lol. I never use it in landscape so nothing else is rendered there.

 

[Cipherr]

Lol, are you kidding me? The Galaxy Nexus screen?

Yeah he has lost his mind, just throwing nonsense out. The Nexus screen shits on the Droid X.

i dont notice it while watching a movie on mine. If you had burn in like that, you should replace the phone. IR is definitely a "feature" of OLED unfortunately

May 29th for superior Euro version.

 

[Cudder]

My stream just died

Same here.

 

[bananas]

"Well, wonder no more. The waiting is over."

fucking lmao

I went from a Droid X to a Galaxy Nexus and I don't have a clue what you're talking about. The screen on the Nexus is leagues better than the one on the Droid X. It's not even remotely close.

 

[LordAlu]

Stream is fine for me on thenextgalaxy.com

May 29th European release.

 

[MarkMclovin]

The waiting is over... until May 29th...

Jesus.

"the galaxy s 3 is designed for humans"

seriously??

fucking lmao

she made it seem it was coming out later today with that comment.

 

[reKon]

Yay she's done

The hero of the Olympic games...

what

 

[Kyoufu]

This phone didn't blow me away.

Should I be blown away?

 

[giga]

Sounds like I need to get drunk and watch this conference.

 

[Blackhead]

Anandtech put up a review of the Galaxy Nexus pentile screen:

For me at least, the Galaxy Nexus display exceeds my visual acuity - I cannot pick out subpixels at all on the Galaxy Nexus. Quite literally, the RGBG subpixel stripe is now small enough that it is beyond visual acuity at standard viewing distance (1 foot).

 

[gcubed]

This phone didn't blow me away.

Should I be blown away?

no

 

[vDaedalus]

She said May 29th but I'm still unsure about the release date. Something about limited city launch?

 

[Ashhong]

S2 isn't pentile

Woops, my mistake. Thought it was. Even still, as someone else mentioned, the Galaxy Nexus screen looks better than my phone and it is pentile. I just think pentile talk is way overdone.

 

[kinggroin]

Rip off Airplay: check
Rip off Siri: check
Reused Pentile screen: check
Reused Camera: check

The camera is good so that's not a problem. Airplay-similar features are a good addition as long as it works properly. I love Airplay. The only inexcusable thing is the screen. No excuse for cheaping out on a crappy screen. But as long as the marketing blurb will say 720p people will ignore (or not understand) the reason why it looks so poor

But it doesn't look "so poor"

 

[jokkir]

The hero of the Olympic games...

what

The country of Samsung will win all gold medals, obviously

They sound like aliens trying their hardest to pretend to be human.

Celebrating our shared humanity with a phone made by Foxconn.

Jesus fucking Christ.

 

[TheDiabolical]

"the galaxy s 3 is designed for humans"

seriously??

i think thats Samsungs way of saying its for non hipster people with skinny jeans

 

[-COOLIO-]

ya i think its a tough call between the s3 and one x. ill sit back and check out the reviews

 

[DrFunk]

VergeCast will be very entertaining this Friday

 

[VanMardigan]

Very disappointed. All glossy plastic, pentile display, plus the same camera? Nope, lets see what HTC and Nokia have for the fall and winter. I've bought two Samsung phones in a row, but that streak is about to end.

 

[thirty]

I went from a Droid X to a Galaxy Nexus and I don't have a clue what you're talking about. The screen on the Nexus is leagues better than the one on the Droid X. It's not even remotely close.

Yeah it is. Just as the x2 looks worse than the original. Again a fine example

Even tho there are more pixels, It still looks off. Sure technically it's better but to the eyes of some there's a difference

 

[Paznos]

One more thing?

 

[Cipherr]

Woops, my mistake. Thought it was. Even still, as someone else mentioned, the Galaxy Nexus screen looks better than my phone and it is pentile. I just think pentile talk is way overdone.

Pentile at these resolutions is a relatively minor thing. But its still a thing. The truth of the matter is there is a phone out with a better screen that the one in the S3. Theres is a phone out with a much more lovely design than the S3. And in the US, that very same phone will be out soon/now, and will use the same SoC making them all the same speed.

 

[bananas]

What is happening?

 

[MarkMclovin]

Fuck me this is dramatic..

 

[ShdwDrake]

So is the HTC One X ever coming to verizon?
