Samsung needs Apple. Apple can find someone else to make chips. Samsung can't find another iPhone.
there HAS to be a reason why Apple is sticking with samsung though. Samsung can't be the cheapest manufacturer out there..lol
I'm sure Apple has the ball but why sue a company then funnel $$ back?
it's like.. one of them is the keystone species.. hehe (biology x telecommunications)
Product seems to be copying/imitating other manufacture specs lol.
Samsung Galaxy S II was announced like 8 months ago, released about 5 months ago with the spec of what Apple announced yesterday?
Samsung has manufacturing capacity. But part of that capacity is clout, samsung being a korean company, and much of the manufacturing going in taiwan and china. Apple is an american company. Think of samsung as a friendly buffer. Im sure apple is looking for another buffer though.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
I would say Samsung Galaxy S II is better than iPhone 4S. I am not sure about the camera. Does anybody have any idea how does the camera on Galaxy S II Performs. How is the quality. I know it is having 8 MP but what in terms of quality ?

This is a great review. Go to page 6 to check out the review of the camera. Has several pics to look at and and has 2 very good vids taken with the camera, showing 1080 and 720 modes.
SGSII review
I think they both need each other.otherwise one would break up with the other. Samsung is now promising to file more nuisance lawsuits than apple, claiming that no phone can be operated on the world stage without violating one of their patents.Maybe this will settle down the patent wars a little. But hey, they are still obviously doing allot of business together.

Funny lawsuit - Samsung suing to slow down sales of a phone that has their own processor in it. I wonder how much of this gamesmanship between apple and Samsung is for media attention and to justify higher cost.

ALLEGEDLY
still too small after having my note for a while now
If the rumor of simultanous launch is true, I'd gladly skip the GNote. The 4.8" screen is perfect for me, comparable to GNexus's 4.65", both without physical buttons. I'm sure the screen will be Super AMOLED Plus HD. Anything less doesn't deserve the GS3 name.
I was actually all set to pull the trigger on the GNote today until I saw this. I live the size of the GNote, but really wish it was a quad core. Also for someone that goes through as much battery as me through a day (almost 2 full batterys on my skyrocket a day), I didnt want the hassle of taking the back off the phone constantly since people on here have implied it being very difficult. Might just do GS3 until the Note 2 comes out
If everything in that spec list is true.... I'm getting one.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk
I care a lot less about screen size than I do screen resolution. 1280x800 or 720p would be fine - anything less is useless on a screen that size. It'll be interesting to see how it stacks up with the Note.
Also, I want to say I read that the photo in that article is a discredited 'shop-job, but I'm not sure. Having zero bezel around the edges of the phone would make it awfully difficult to hold and not create mis-clicks.
I'm pretty sure that's photoshop job but thin bezel is not new. HTC has two 4.7" phones with thin bezels, one for WP7, one for Android. None are being called too big by any reivewers

That's is a very subjective matter. I tried multiple GNotes at AT&T store. It certainly feeled sluggish in stock form compared to my GS2 in stock form with a lot of apps installed. GNote could have benefited a lot with a much beefier processor than the S3.
Interesting article. The ceramic and size info is indeed new and I have not heard any of that from my source
Right now we are expecting
4.65 hd screen and a new dual core, not quad.
I will poke around and see if I can find more

These supposed spec leak articles are a joke, designed to drive traffic to those site. They just speculate on the incredibly obvious. What phone hasn't come out with a slightly larger screen, a bigger processor,a better camera more memory etc. Its a given that if you wait another six months you will always find a "better" device. "Super AMOLED Plus HD"..lol.

Mr.Ed,
I wonder what happened to that Skyrocket HD (a.k.a Galaxy S2 HD LTE in Korea)? If this rumor is true about the launch, it makes no sense to release the Skyrocket HD at all. So, if there is no upcoming release schedule for Skyrocket HD, we can assume GS3 is coming to US this summer.

According to a leaked AT&T road map, the skyrocket HD is suppose to be released at the end of Q1.
I'm not gonna get too excited about it at this point. I'm not too ready to move on to the next big thing, specially if it has a smaller screen. I just moved from the streak to the Note, and on paper this is about twice the phone that the Streak was. However in actual usage it's not that much faster, and in some cases more choppy.
It's a better phone, don't get me wrong. I'm just saying that there's no point in waiting forever. There will always be something better on the horizon. And the Note meets my needs perfectly right now, and probly will for the next year

I doubt that one (probably imported from Korea) will have AT&T compatible LTE bands.
After getting used to the Note, I wouldn't want to downgrade to a smaller screen. I love how everything is huge on the Note. On my GNex, everything looks stupid small in comparison. I'd rather wait for the Note II with Exynos 5250.

Look at all the hype the Galaxy Nexus/Nexus Prime was getting just to find out you couldn't expand the memory, only went to Verizon, etc etc.... I messed with Note a day or so ago and it wasn't as bulky as I thought. I was more curious about development issues. The Skyrocket and the Hercules (i727 & T989) are basically the same phones so from the development side there are more behind them. Not sure if an SIM unlocked Note can work on T Mobile or if T Mo is going to offer the Note at all.

Do you have a link for the Note 2 or is it mostly just talk as of now?
I'm most interested in the ceramic back. If it is durable, I think that could create a really interesting new path for Samsung in terms of design. I can just imagine a smooth, matte finish feel that would feel super sexy and high quality. Not that Samsung hasn't achieved high quality design using their plastics, but I would be really excited to see what they could do with some other materials seeing as they have really proven that plastics can be used to create a rock solid device.
Now that there is confirmed news about the LG Nexus [Source], are you guys considering moving from the SIII to the Nexus ??
Don't get me wrong, the SIII is an awesome piece of hardware, but the lack of documentation from the Samsung Exynos team is a well known issue. That, to me, is the most important reason anyone would wanna move to the Nexus.
But I want to hear more opinions as to the advantages as well as disadvantages of the Nexus vs. the SIII.
no...
gonna shift to S4 when it comes......
we have the latest hardware and don't need move on some xx company's xx crap.......

I just wanted to say something similar - of course it will just be outsourced to some company in Asia and will not be very competitively priced (unless you have an internal deal or something) since Google does not want to alienate any manufacturer!
That being said the openness is an interesting advantage (after the problems that I had with my S3 - which I discovered it was a patched version instead of a real IMEI unlock as I thought when I bought it).
LG left a sour taste in my mouth a few years back so I don't think I'm jumping ship, plus the specs leaked so far aren't too impressive.
However that new HTC with the 5inch 1080 screen has me interested...

How do you figure that? In what way is it inferior?
The N4 has a better CPU, GPU, screen and software.
The S3 has removable storage, that's about all that is better.

I wouldn't say Nexus 4 is inferior, but has it's drawbacks. Non-removable battery, no possibility of adding storage and maybe lack of LTE, but that's the end of it. Well, and its manufacturer is LG, that's a drawback for me, but thats all.
The fact that it sells for 300$ is it's main selling point, besides it's processing power (which I am beggining to consider is starting to be overkill). 2Gb of RAM is fairly nice too. If I did not own a SGSIII rigth now, I would be kicking my ass in a rush for getting one, that's for sure.

Removable battery is meh, got the nexus 7 and was concerned about freezes from overclocking too much and not being able to pull the battery, but if you hold the power button for like ten seconds it does a hard reboot so problem solved.
Storage is a kick in the ass alright but I have unlimited data and my music on Google music so I can get around that problem too and as for LTE well Ireland doesn't have LTE so that's a moot point.
It all depends on each persons situation I guess.

I believe the top 3 phones are the S3, N4, and Note 2...I would like to have a Note 2 but just to expensive....I played with one for a while and it just felt like a big S3...but the N4 seems to be different or more interesting in my opinion and the price is just right lol....but you cant go wrong with any of these phones...they are all awesome...
S3 have better screen then nexus 4..............read reviews
s3 is iphone killer , so yeap its stacking up pretty high in the competition
S3 still wins it for me. Hate those onscreen buttons. Hate that n4 doesn't have support for SD card. My 16 internal is filled with game and apps data while my 32g sd card only has 4gigs memory left from backups and videos, etc. My S3 rarely lags and at 1.6GHz, my benchmarks are all higher than that of stock Note2. Multiwindow support is coming so the only real advantage of note2 is the RAM which i think is overkill because i never fill up the 1gig i have bec i removed all the freaking bloatwares from samsung. I dont know though if it would be enough when the multiwindow comes.

We must understand that manufacturers are looking at profits and increasing utility is their main focus. Consider that there were people asking this same question when the s2 came out. Yes, it was "the best" in most areas, design, hardware etc. But that was then, this is now with the s3 replacing the s2 as the name suggests. We must consider the future developing prospects for the Android as a platform and what they hold and how soon manufacturers will release this "new technology". The reason why I put new technology in inverted commas is because when manufacturers introduced new products as "new", they have long been aware of the latter but only introduce it to the market now as it is better (more competitive) that the current devices.
Manufacturers are able (based on demand) to determine when a product is at its peak (in terms of sales) and so introduce a "new product" which they have developed long ago to gain new demand thus maintaining or increasing profits, the latter is most likely.
So in terms of the utility of our devices, yes we have "the best" but for how long is the real question? The new s4 is already developed IMHO but they are just waiting to release, I'm sure they monitor this forum to see what user demands are in the future, I "too much lag here, multi windows there, device getting too hot)" and so they adapt their product to meet user requirements thus increasing utility and potential profit.
Right now (given that there are no subjectively better products on the market) I am very happy and would not what anything else but let's see the "new" stuff in the future.
Hey XDA I have a note and my mother is willing to trade me for her S3. Would you consider it an upgrade? I would miss the spen but I really think the big phone is not for me.

If we're to believe Samsung Display, the display arm of Samsung, which is actually a desperate company, there might not be a Note 3 as we know it. They're replacing both the Note 2 display, as well as the S3 display with a 1920x1080 4.99 inch panel this year. This according to Anandtech. I suppose we could see a curved OLED touting Note, but then again, flexible OLED yield isn't supposed to be good enough for production runs til 2014.
Unless they're keeping the display a secret, this is what most would expect. This doesn't mean that they'll have some other type of offering or combination to allow SPen functionality on say....the S4, but I wouldn't personally design a new chassis around an S4 and call it a Note.
I'd definitely choose the S3 at this point. The Development support will last significantly longer than it will for this device. Isn't it the most popular Android device ever? That is to say, more users often means more ROMs, the pressure to update and develop for it will be higher.
Since were not talking about an upgrade, its a no brainer.
But if you had to use an upgrade, or pay more than say....50-100 bucks (personal figure) I definitely wouldn't do it. A new generation of SoCs is just around the corner. Just as well, the GPU is much more powerful on the S3, but app support and UI/general performance isn't too much better now that we have 4.2 AOSP. And while an official JB is probably a couple months out, but it will bring most Note2 features home for us.
That's the current sitrep for both devices.

Personally I love my note and it's plenty fast with the stable roms out there. My gf has a S3 and it's a nice device and I can really see the appeal but it really depends on WHAT you plan on doing with it. I remote into computers and my home network. Work on servers all from my phone so moving to a smaller screen isn't what I'd do. It has the horsepower to show up plenty of phones and though it's a gen old with older hardware, I kept my 86 toyota camry longer than I've had this phone and THAT was a piece of crap.
But again it's all about needs and wants. If you feel that you need the faster phone and are willing to loose the screen size, I say go for it.

Agreed, with new phone announcements coming up soon it doesn't make sense to upgrade for any form of currency, but in a straight trade, it might be worth it.

They have big screens, but internals similar to our Notes. Neither of these would be an upgrade.
They get a big MEH from me...

I was really excited till i read the specs They have always made Note similiar in specs to the "S" series. So I was thinking at least same hardware and camera. Looks like I just might buy a Note 2 till something better pops up.... Dual core and 8 megapixel camera? 1.5 gb memory will not have me anticipating its release.
If it doesn't have a s pen I rather just upgrade to note 2

From what I understand the bigger mega has the s pen .. These new releases still have better specs just not as good as what may be on the way

these are budget phablets imo.. I'm sure there will be a note 3 that will blow them out of the water.

I agree.

The 6.3 is actually VERY interesting.
1) It will be most likely bigger than Note 3 screen size and is lower resolution.
2) 720P is more than enough for me and with 3200 battery and dual core processor means amazing battery life
3) It is PLS LCD, and hands on review is very positive. I personally always preferred LCD's color accuracy over pentile AMOLED's bluish whites
4) Unconfirmed: It is supposed to be Exynos A15, same processor in N10, which is flat out amazing
I have no use for the S-Pen, if this is $200 cheaper than Note 2 and is available on AT&T it is a winner.
Too bad I doubt we will have this for AT&T so will most likely have to do Note 3 . . .
Doesn't AT&T have similar frequencies to the rest of the world?
I'm interested in the 6.3, to use on a TMobile phone plan OR an AT&T tablet plan (might not be recognized as a phone). I love my 7.0+ but these would pocket carry a little easier. I'd consider selling that and my i717 and getting the 6.3 to go with my S2 (still love that thing!).
The 5.8 does look a little bleh but the 6.3 might be what I always wanted- a compact cellular tablet. They both look a lot better than that Galaxy Grand/Samsung Galaxy Player with a radio thing.
Better to wait and see what specs the note 3 has to offer. I think witch ever mega sells the best will be size of note 3 Testing the waters.

I don't get that theory though, not many people are going to want a phone with a qhd display in this day and age.
Just speaking in terms of size. I'm sure total specs of the famous (or infamous) note line will be much better

Since the note first launched its outspecced the flagship galaxy phone of its generation. I'm really hoping the US note 3 gets the new exynos and a non pen tile screen.

I've read in a few articles that note 3 might come with the octa core if can iron out the LTE.

Im compairing the Mega 6.3 with the Hauwei Ascend Mate 6.1, on specs the Ascend wins hands down, but still not sure as 3rd party roms might not be developed for the Ascend, a 4050mah battery is awesome too and its waterproof, quad core and 2gb of ram!!!, this is a difficult choice at least i've got 4 weeks to decide.
The Mate also looks to be pentaband.
