No flash? What's that light to the left of the camera lens? This all needs proofing methinks.
Colors are White(<---White...highlight with the cursor lol) and Blue
ofcourse its having a flash^^
Perhaps it means "Flash" rather than "a flash". Still, installable.

Price Is Right, its 500 Eutos for sim free..
Available in uk from 29th and few more countries from 1st week of June..
Notification light is the only question unanswered for the moment..
Looking in settings on this phone, there is an option for "LED Indicator"... Perhaps it does have one. Lets hope it does. Nexus does but SGS2 doesn't.

It doesn't say it's not compatible though. The official ICS GS2 ROM doesn't have Adobe Flash but you can download it from the Play store - I assume it will be the same with the S3

Yea, if it's not compatible then... fudge that. Use Flash all time, pretty much every day. It probably will have it.
so out of curiosity, supposedly htc new phones have a locked bootloader with access cut off to usb when in bootloader, and motorola will always be locked down, is the samsung s3 also have a locked bootloader with no go on kernels?
updated*
please continue to throw out missing or incorrect info, and ill continue to search and update myself =]

The only reason I can see for this is to avoid Apple's lawsuits by changing styling. Our galaxy players are apart of their latest lawsuit, btw. They did the same thing with the galaxy tab 10.1 2.
I see multiple signs of hardware cuts, but no signs of upgrades, other than possibly ICS. This is apparently Samsung's idea of a sequel.

Specs we know so far:
512mb of ram
1ghz OMAP4 CPU
4.2" 480x800 lcd screen
124.1 x66.1 x 8.9 mm dimensions
1500mah battery
2.0 rear, 0.3 front facing camera
Ships with 2.3, "eventual" update to 4.0
Has a 6-axis gyroscope
Comes in 8gb or 16gb
"Gamer oriented" (comes with nfs; hot pursuit)
Releases in Mach (probably only Korea, other markets later?)
*Much of this info came from third party sites, and may not be accurate*
Meh the specs are about the same or even worse than the current Players. I do like the EA Games preloaded app if it's really what it is.
I'm not impressed by this, but didn't know about it either. So thanks for sharing :]
My thoughts exactly; very unimpressive!
Hmm I might get this instead of a 4.0.
I will thank as soon as I get 10 posts, lol!
http://mobile.pcmag.com/device2/art.../www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2400827,00.asp
Well, according to this the proccesor is "a bit" more powerful than the 4.0's, it has a 6-axis gyroscope, and it will "eventually" get ICS. Now that last part is pretty tempting, IF Samsung ever gets around to it!
Now what on earth is downgrading the camera to 2mp all about?!
The picture looks like it's running touchwiz 4.0 though.
" eventually " , so probably upgradable using samsung kies. But that means the 4.0 and 5.0 will also have ics in the future?
But it will probably take ages...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Hmm, idk. Maybe, but the ics is about the only difference it would have, so giving it to the older generation would be kinda redundant. Hope they do, though
You're right about the touchwiz 4.0, could be a sure sign that ICS is coming, or could be nothing. An advertising pic they used for the old Galaxy S Wifi 50 (no, not 5.0) used a screenshot from an iPhone, so don't judge a Samsung device by it's picture, lol!
The real difference is the IPS panel!
4.2” WVGA(480×800) IPS TFT
IPS doesn't seem that important, since the viewing angle of the 4.0 is already great.
Seem more like the color change. Hardware are similar/abit better than the galaxy 4.0

IPS is not only viewing angle, but better contrast, better colors, cleaner glass screen (G70 is plastic).
Have you ever seen the difference between iphone (IPS) and ipod touch (glass but non IPS)?
They took all the fun out of it im going to stick with my 5.O
Sent From My SGP 5.O
Only reason I got the Galaxy S wi-fi 4.0 was for its built in Wolfson DAC and Steve's custom kernels which made voodoo sound possible so I am not really interested in the SGS 4.2 besides it more or less has the same spec and probably doesn't have the SGS 4.0's Wolfson DAC.
The specs do not indicate whether the newer device has GPS?.. for me, one of the compelling arguments for these devices is their use as a standalone car navigation system using offline maps/routing with apps such as co-pilot live.
Makes me glad I already have a 5.0.. The white is kinda cool though. Also interesting to see in the picture that it's branded as a "Galaxy S".
Seems meh though.
Q: Does Galaxy player 5.0 Intl. (YP-G70CW) come with gyroscope?
ICS "eventually" with Samsung means never... If you want ICS wait until this is released with it - if it ever is.

That's not really an accurate statement. Samsung is currently working on ICS Ports for many of their devices. Hopefully JellyBean will be postponed until next years devices roll out so at least current candidates can get ICS.
So is there going to be a new upcoming model of the Galaxy Player 5.0?

Hello guys. What were you actually expecting from Samsung Galaxy S3? Why I asked is because of reading few people's comment on it saying- "Samsung fail", "Not worth ed". Did you all expect Samsung to stuff in a super computer in a 8.6mm phone?
Now, you might say "that's MY opinion". I guess you are right.
But let's think something deep-
1) All you are asking for is 2GB RAM. Why? I could never cross 550MB in my S2.
2) 12MP? Well that might be even what I wanted. But Samsung fully concentrated on software tweeks.
3) The design is poor- I don't agree. What I agree is the build quality is cheap.
What do you guys say? I think S3 will be a hit
I was expecting )
1-ultra amoled hd 3d display
2- near 2gb ram because many games and apps is future will require more and more ram.
3-better shape design.
4-well camera has been improved even it is 8mp.
5-hd resolution ......
Others were fulfilled basically the software features are awesome but design and shape is pathetic and as for hardware nothing is new or special I believe it depends what people expected from then .....
Ok wait WORST PART#### Samsung galaxy s3 featuring exynos is bad As sense 2.1/30.3.5/4.0.+
Would never be ported As it will be impossible reason - exynos chip does not support sense we would need to remake the ui ....
I will stick to S2!!!
Sent from my GT-I9100 Powered by sense 4.0 pre-alpha by don2012!
There should be a forth question in the poll:
"Undecided, waiting to see it up close"
I'd want full hd display with 3d;2 giga of ram and a better gpu but I gonna to by s3 anyway!I really liked the design and these upgrade is good enough for me
I was explecting multiple versions of the device.
I would have liked to see one with a full QWERTY keyboard.
I would have like to seen one with no physical buttons.
I would have also liked to have seen one with pur ICS.
I watched the entire unpacked, and all I could think was, I can't wait for me to get my hands on one and flash CM9.
The S2 has never let me down performance wise so I expect much the same from S3.
However, my only disappointment is the look of the phone. It looks so S1. Major letdown.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
OP raises a good point. Question is whether our expectations were too high or too unrealistic??
Just image, if there were no high-end phones from Samsung after SGS2 (assuming Note and GNex didn't exist). If we look in this way, SGS3 is a decent upgrade from SGS2. We can't expect them to give a gigantic upgrade compared to Note/GNex when these phones are roughly 6 months old. Idea is that, compare SGS3 to SGS2 and see what you are getting extra. It's unfair comparing it to GNex.
1] Change in design -- for better or worse, that upto you to decide.

2] Better SoC -- upgraded CPU and GPU.
3] Better resolution, even if you consider the PenTile. If we talk about sub-pixels, we are looking at 60% more sub-pixels compared to RGB matrix in SGS2.
4] Better camera quality even though the resolution is same. Check comparison between SGS3 vs SGS2 camera shots here
5] Bigger battery and more storage options.
I thought they would be able to produce a RGB matrix HD SAMOLED. Clearly, there is still some technical/engineering challenges. Hopefully they will do it in Note 2.
As for 2GB RAM, I would like someone to do a test and figure how many applications running simultaneously are required to fill 1GB.

You've never crossed 550mb? You're not using your phone then.
I agree with the excessiveness of a 12mp camera though. Design is in the eye of the beholder by yes plastic is cheap even Though it has it's advantages. I just hope the phone doesn't get so hot like the sgs2

I wanted
different material, not plastic again
screen edge to edge
1080p
1st phone to feature a well done edge to edge screen will score some major points, that would have been amazing for this phone.
Samsung galaxy s gti9000=looks like everyone can use preferred as from.now (old beauty ) but.looks a bit .... And is outdated
Samsung galaxy.s2 gti9100= looks manly phone and nice and not outdate looks cool and hot just wish it had a bigger scrrenn
Samsung galaxy s3= wow looks freaking ...... Like cow **** ewww nooooo .. Good specs(nothing new in specs)... ..awsome software features which R going to be ported.to s2
If some one finds the s3 firmware please pm me i will start porting the software features!!!!
My greatest wish for the SGS-III have been granted; a notification led.
Thank you Samsung!

Galaxy S3.
Do not get Samsung, trust me they do not have the craftsmanship and it's features are mediocre at best. It's exfat is broken and the screen breaks easily thanks to 20% thinner gorilla glass; its very expensive to repair because it is glued on it.
I recommend you phone such as: Motorola DROID razr maxx hd(uses kevlar back cover which is the same material used for bullet proof vest, and it has the largest battery life of android on its size), HTC butterfly if you could get one(has 1080p ips rgb display on 5" size,quad core s4 pro, adreno 320, 2gb ram, microsd, 2nd best camera sensor atm first is lumia 920), the upcoming Sony phone that also has 1080p display and quad core s4 pro. If you want the absolute best that is currently available atm, you cannot get it because it is only available on sprint and the phone is called EVO 4G lte which uses anodize aluminum construction, kickstand, and microsd slot, krait cores, 2nd best camera sensor and the fastest Brower atm(sun spider score on its stock browser is 1.2-1.3k on ics

I think you little hard on Samsung, even I'm not a fan I can see how they won that large market share by providing alot of feature, good hardware and varieties
Motorola is almost rare here in my market, I thought of the Maxx series for the large battery but the Note II battery numbers are really impressive
No More HTC, I've using HTC devices from mid 2010 and the big failure in HTC one X (lousy battery, overheating, poor screen protection, got three scratches without a reason ) and for the record, my touch buttons are not working and I'm having it repaired at the moment by replacing the full touch screen
I think that replied on siwo.jack as well
Lumia 920 I guess it will be great but it yet pretty early to judge and I was for two and half years an android user so I'm not sure about winmo 8
Sony Phablet yet to be available and yet to judge either
EVO 4G lte is an HTC and N/A here
I think you should go for LG optimus LS970 btw you can see its specification on gsm arena

it is amazing and the price is too
but 16 GB most !!
also when it come to my country it will be late and priced to the roof
S3 i would say... and S2 is still a best option
:good: go for s 3 ... nice phone ... Note II is also good option but it all depends how you are going to use it. if you carry it daily S3 and S2 are good options ... Note II lil difficult to carry around daily in some crowded places ... fear to loss it
technically both are best phones ...
So wait bro it will be released soon trust me the phone is a monster
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I think while the Samsung Galaxy S3 is great, you can not really go wrong with the new Nexus 4 by Google. The price point is just incredible. Of course, if absence of LTE doesn't bother you.
The big question always is, "what are you going to do with it?". Different people have different priorities. For me, camera/screen is a big factor. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you'll find a better camera on an android phone than the S3.

What a great idea that is. If it was relaunched I'd like a 16mp camera. Stronger battery.
Maybe a larger screen, with higher-def. Ya, there's room in MY pocket for a 6" 1080 or even 720 screen.
Aside from that, I just wish HTC would provide a driver so those who dev, namely ravike14, chevycowboyuse, and sportsstar89 could implement new kernel, ROM's. They wouldn't have to even relaunch.

I think this specific build should be somewhere close to $700 to $800 USD per device granted that the components are compatible. Also, this should be a unibody design And it should be generally flatter, wider and taller than our current Amaze.

I'm glad you're excited about joining this board and starting this thread, but please, quit spamming the other threads on the board with the same invitation to read this, seriously!!! Reread the forum rules, spamming threads is a banishable offense. You can't go around to every thread posting about this, it's very bad form and can get you booted if the mods are alerted and feel like doing so. Do you really want that?
In any event, welcome to the board. I encourage you to read all of the pinned threads on the different forums and familiarize yourself with our device and the rules here. There's a wealth of info located within them that can help you as you explore the capabilities of your handset, so you can get the maximum out of it. We're all here to learn, exchange ideas and have fun doing so again, welcome.
Ciao
Reborn addendum.
Oh yeah, all of that I said before, and a $100 introductory price.

I guess he's hoping it'll give him attention or something, cause I think all of knows the Amaze isn't likely to get a revamp
But the thought of a revamp is actually entertaining.
Like a castle in the sky, I'll fly to the high place where dreams can come alive. (without drugs, of course.)

I think it's just a fun thing to think about, and a thread for a "reborn" Amaze is a clever idea, even if enough people aren't gonna join to get HTC to release one. No harm done.
The thread is a big waste of time, but so are a bunch of other threads here in the General forum. The way I see it since there's no harm there's no foul, however, the OP was more than a bit overenthusiastic in his promoting this thread. At least now he's calmed-down a bit and is no longer spamming the board, which is a good thing. It's fun to dream, but I highly doubt HTC will resurrect the Amaze. It never was a big seller, so whatever name recognition the name may have for marketing is nonexistent. So the likelihood that we'll be seeing a new phone under the Amaze moniker is slim. If you look at HTC past record, they will reuse the same name over and over again for devices that were big sellers. Hence umpteenth versions of the Desire and One, but low volume sellers get relegated to the dust bin of history. Sad, but true. Enjoy your Amaze for what it is, for that's all it will probably ever be.
what--no new amaze?

It looks like Samsung has packed a hell of a lot into such a tiny device, it also sports a unique curved display. The Samsung Gear S features full connectivity, being one of the first smart-watches to feature more than just Bluetooth technology. This device packs Bluetooth, Wifi, 3G and GPS, making the smart-watch fully functional without its "parent" device. Lets take a look at what we know so far:

Thoughts?
Well, it's not rumoured anymore. It's verified specs.
http://www.samsungmobilepress.com/2014/08/28/Samsung-Gear-S-Enhances-the-Smart-Wearable-Experience-1
It is unclear to me if the 2G/3G is for GSM networks only or may include CDMA. Can someone more knowledgeable answer this question?

Thanks for the tip:good: Updated the OP.
Where is the camera ?
I am disappointed...
I am happy user of the GEAR I with custom ROM, as the full year of use is coming .... and the battery life is getting shorter.. It is the high time to jump into something newer but:
- I like the camera in the watch - soo easy to take pics in the store, quick photos of the notes, etc - WHY Gear III is missing camera ???!
- Tizen again... not so easy to customize... will it be possible to have quick dial with faces of your closest friends as it was possible to do on the GEAR I ? This simple functionality remembers good old PALM..
- only 300 mAh battery - on the watch with so big screen, phone and GPS? will it run more than 30 minutes?
- "custom" BT headset?? what about the regular one - will it run with good old MW600 or SBH50 ??

They are for both, but work slightly differently.
Here's a great comparison I found....
http://www.diffen.com/difference/CDMA_vs_GSM
Explains everything quite well. ?
Thanks. Let me try again. I presume on Wednesday along with the full specs it will be announced if there will be CDMA versions for the US?

That I'm afraid I can't find any info on.
May have to wait and see. ?
That is what it thought. Only 2 days to go to find out.
Anyone read that that there will be a CDMA version? Now that it is officially revealed perhaps some blog has mentioned it.
Is it definitely coming yo the US?

The GSM model is definitely coming to the US with the Note 4, and i haven't heard from Samsung about a CDMA model but I'd be surprised if they released it through at&t but not Verizon. I just reached out to my Samsung contact & will update if i hear back.

Today, I have touched the Gear S.
I can't find tethering function.
It seems to support many languages as well as Gear 2.
Screen is very beautiful.
Response is very fast.
Even turn off the screen and continue to display only the hands of the clock.

How does it look with the new straps they using? Are they to wide?
Crossing fingers for a version that works on T-mo, but so far I've seen no indication of any other version but the GSM :fingers-crossed:
I never knew this thread existed glad I am browsing. I'm sure you know by now Sprint & Verizon have CDMA versions
The technical specification is the information that is available 4GB of internal memory, for me, is only 2.44 GB - what could be causing this?

4gb is before formatting and before the OS/software install.
