Explain, Canadians get this early?! :)
I'm lol'ing because I know it won't happen. We'll get shafted into May or something.

Samsung needs to do it like apple. 2 weeks after announcement for NA and some big euro places, then the rest a bit later. Rather than their current strategy of short wait for europe and ridiculous wait for NA. 4 more hours.

lol, ya. Us Canadians always get the short end of the stick.
 
The s3 launched in Canada before the us did it not? As did the s2.
did it? I don't recall that. It came out in Canada at the end of June, the 27th I think. Wasn't the USA a week earlier? Either way, my point was NA got the huge shaft in terms of release date. Would suck if they do again.

That fucking PenTile ugh

This is mighty impressive though (15 second exposure)
 
Very much looking forward to this. I went from a Blackberry Curve 2, to an iPhone 4S, and now looking at either an S3 or S4. Excited to see what gets changed and hopefully have the S3 come down in price!
 
I'm gonna laugh if the final one is a lot different than that prototype, lol. That whole nice review would be funny in hindsight. Though a lot of it would still stand.
 
This and NPD today, hell of a day.

I'm just here to see what the future could potentially hold for the Note 3 since that will be my next phone.

I've had the last two phones of mine be Samsung with the Captivate and the Note 1. My body is ready for the awesomeness that will be unleashed by them today.

Same here. I'm ready for that new note.
 
I've been off contract for about 6 months and I've been waiting for this announcement, hopefully a worthy upgrade. Otherwise, I'll go with the HTC One or Xperia Z, not sure which one though.
 
Blotches were the reason I swapped to iphone 5. Couldn't stand looking at messed up blotchy black backgrounds in netflix.

They're annoying, but nowhere near annoying as the burn-in that plagues my Gnex. If that's fixed too, I'm gonna dance
 
Yeah, same here. But I'm really happy with my Note2, especially since an octa-core won't provide much more for my emulation needs. (Higher res and the corresponding GPU+bigger battery life would be appreciated though, that's a given)

Those new UI features, higher res camera, not sure I need those.

why should Samsung delay the Euro release because US carriers like to slot things into release windows? and i say that as someone who has to wait on US carriers.

my point was to hit major markets. I didn't say delay it for all of europe. Apple manages to get it out to NA and major EU markets quickly, and then the rest soon after.

OR even if that ruffles your feathers for some reason, fine, do europe first closely after announcement. But the wait until release should never ever be 2 months, which is almost what it was for NA.

they love 'release windows' and such.


solutions:

1) delay Euro release.

got more solutions?

THIS WAS THE LINK I WAS LOOKING FOR!

I know but I think it's just the person doing it slapping a label on it. Their own screen analysis pretty much shows it's not the same amoled display at a higher res, looks like a different kind of display. That plus the trademark = ???profit???

get better at your manufacturing. That's the solution. Grass fucking roots. lol you're talking as if this isn't possible, who are you making excuses for. They should do a better job. End of story on that front. Now they have no real excuse because they know the demand, so they shouldn't get caught off guard. It will be interesting. I mean if there is anything samsung should copy apple on it's better planning/execution!

nothing Samsung does can make US carriers release the phone earlier. period. end of story. they could have a billion phones ready and if Verizon decides they want the Droid fuckme2 in that window, Sammy has to wait 3 weeks.




"HTC folks are stalking the line outside [the Galaxy event]".

Giving out potato chips, apparently.

are they giving out actual food or a coupon to get some in 3 weeks?

then you plan the event to be just before these supposed preferred release windows by carriers. There. Announce it. Release it. Once again, this is a possible thing. It has been done consistently by their competition. THIS CAN BE DONE. lol. If they want to announce really early then they deserve the flack for launching a long time later. Believe me ATT doesn't give a fuck about verizons droid fuckme2. IF verizon wants to wait, LET EM.
 
If they haven't fixed the 'wake-up from sleep' lag from previous galaxies, i'm out. It's a small flaw that is constantly nagging me. Other Android phones doesn't seen to have this lag from what i have gathered.

Other than that, i'm hoping for better hw design along with the usual spec bumbs.

I like the way you think sir

so basically, delay the Euro launch.
 
I would be really surprised if they don't do a new physical redesign, sony lg htc and black berry all
went with the iphone 5 design
 
I always find these phones that have enormous screens so hilariously looking. In the smartphone landscape, these are for the people that are overcompensating for something, hehe. 4.5 inch is optimal!
 
So is this going to be like the iPhone updates where everyone is disappointed because you can't re-invent the phone every 12 months? I assume it'll be the usual better processor, more ram, better camera, better screen, etc.
