Havent seen the video, but this thing happens all the time. When you get a great new phone thats recently published, companies are already working on a better version of it (or another better model).
Its usually better to enjoy your current mobile than to be like "I should have waited to get X mobile better", since you could be waiting forever as the companies get more and more new mobiles...
I tell you what... theyre photoshop skills r goooood lool. Only thing i can tell you for sure is the GS3 will b amazing
looks like an iphone but powered by android baby!!!!
Fake and gay.
looks a very poorly made cardboard model
Its Fake..

Is you are a Sony lover then either buy Sony S or wait for next Sony handset to come out... Sony's camera is very good.. See the reviews, one of the best out there, probably better than s Samsung, Otherwise go with Samsung SIII

SGSIII is Optimus Prime and Xperia S is Bumblebee, so its ur choice, something fastest on the market or something with soul but fast enough!

Go for the SGS3. If you need some reasoning, read the article about this phone in the September issue of Maximum PC. They LOVE it, almost as much as I do.

I don't think anyone with the right mind would buy any Sony phones right now, they are under-specs handsets with heavy price tags. The only reason someone would buy the Xperia S is because of camera. But the GSIII's camera is also not bad (though I haven't seen any comparison between the 2 phones, probably because the Xperia S is not so popular).
Quick check list:
Battery life: GSIII (much longer battery life and replaceable battery)
Screen: GSIII (the SAMOLED HD is better)
Hardware: GSIII (quad core Exynos is too fast for Snapdragon S3 in Xperia S to handle). Oh, have I already mentioned how outdated the Xperia S is in terms of hardware? Snapdragon S3 is a two years old SOC!!!
Software update: guess which phone will have Jelly Bean first?
And personally, the major disappointment I have with the Xperia S is how Sony screwed up the media playback capability of Snapdragon S3. The same videos that play smoothly on my Sensation (same SoC, snapdragon s3) became pixelated on the Xperia S regardless of players I tried. It's not a common bug but it is a dealbreaker for me.

Hey people first off all I would like to say that I recently bought myself a new shiny S3 and so far love it. The one thing however that disapoints me is the quality of camera. I had an iP4s before this phone and I must say that it took much much better quality pics than S3 especially in low light situations. The difference in quality cannot be unseen, the pics are supernoisy even without zooming. So I'm asking, is it possible that I maybe got a defective camera on my phone? This fact really annoys me because I tend to use camera on my phone quite often.
I took this the other day - would you sat it is poorer quality that what your iPhone shot?

theres been huge comparisons between the 2 cameras. Theres a thread on here that compares them in a bunch of different conditions and if i'm not mistaken the S3 edged out the 4s (sorry i dont have time to link it right now) .
GSMarena did a camera test S3 vs 4S vs OneX vs PureView and the results were (from best to worst) Pureview, S3, 4S, OneX
I guess it just depends on the way you take the pics but i have heard of some models shipping with bad camera modules... Could u post some pics maybe so that we have a comparison
Check the "pictures taken with your S3" thread.. if yours isn't taking pictures as well as the pics in that thread you may have a faulty camera. I've been nothing but impressed with the camera!

I checked that thread and it really looks like my camera is worse. I'm uploading a picture I took this morning and it really looks mediocre at least. The road is super noisy and the sky looks lie it's finger painted. Plus the overal detail of the buildings and cars is below average from what I seen in current smartphones.
Yeah the road is def way grainy and I see what your talking about

can we have more info on your picture? like iso, etc. i had similiar problems too, but found that with just the right adjustments its still a workable camera
Oh yeah? Well I have iso and everything else set to auto.What settings do you use?

basically i just turned anti shake and auto contrast off. that limits the max iso to 800. then you gotta play around with the scene settings~
Hello. I haven't used the camera much yet but i would have the iso off auto and set as low as possible. Image size at 8mp and quality set to superfine. That would be my starting point. The few photos i've taken so far didn't look rough like the one shown by op. Play with the settings and see if there's an improvement.
Some phones have Sony camera (Perfect, better that iPhone's one), but most phones have Samsung camera (Korean ****)
I was pleasantly surprised about the picture quality my SGS3 produces.
Then again I don't expect too much...
The camera is ok, its only a phone use a camera if u want high quality pics

my camera is fantastic. granted it wont take the place of a standalone. even videos in the house. people are like dude. its so clear. i think they did a great job :good:
the s3 camera is ok. i still think my htc sensation took better quality pictures. the htc sensation camera has more setting options than the s3. i do a lot of photo touching in post for print ads, with photos, using a professional camera but touching up photos from the s3 vs. my old htc sensation, i would have to say that photos taken with the sensation was much better to work with. the s3 is better with video recording. i do plan to shoot a 5min short film with this phone...just cause.

This forum got some good info on the s3 camera firmware, when I got my s3 and took some photos I thought the s3 camera was crap, then when I started reading some of the review and looking at the pictures I thought something must be wrong, I flashed a custom ROM(fox hound 1.4.4 with Franco kernel) its Seemed to have fixed the the problem...

BUT the 4s'S one is better
thats why you are saying its bad
because you are used to soemthing better
I just sold my S3, what phone do you suggest? I was thinking of the Xperia T, but the S4 chip doesn't seem too great and I don't like the design, they don't sell the Nexus 4 here, the Note 2 looks good but it's too similar to the S3, the OneX+ seems to have bad battery life.

Everyone will have their own opinions and reasons. Only you can decide, so do just that.
The post has no real relevance here either, just try the XDA generic Android forums for a broader view than S3 users.
The S4 chip is awesome and way better than crapsynos 4, plus you get the benefit of a fully or next to almost full working CM10.1 experience. So go with an Xperia T.
Seeing as you are so picky, I would suggest the Nokia 1100. Maintenance free, loooooooong battery life.
But seriously, I would wait till the Xperia Z is released. Or S4.
Good luck with choosing a phone.

I could get the Asus Padfone 2 for the same price as the Note 2, but without the tablet. It looks nice, but not many people have it!
Where are you from? I'm sure you could import the N4?
I would pre-order Sony Xperia Z . It looks very good and premium, hardware is very good and Sony care about dev community.

Rumours are that Android 5.0 will come in May/June. Since Sony provides needed sources, I guess SGS4 users will wait longer for stable build than Xperia Z users..

I would go with the Xperia Z, I'm actually tempted to get one myself this time around, mainly because it water & dust proof, camera looks pretty decent aswell.

Main reason why I will most probably get Xperia Z is that Sony cares about dev community and provides needed sources. Also hardware is top and design very nice and premium, without cheap materials.
For me it is time to try other brands.
Right now i would like Sony Xperia Z.
If you can afford it just wait a month or so and get it, i'am sure you won't regret that decision.
Hi there,
Guys I am planning to buy a new high end android smartphone here in India, but I am a bit confused with Samsung Galaxy s3($530 or Rs29000) & LG Optimus G($603 or Rs33000). There is not a big difference in price but as I saw Optimus is much faster than Galaxy S3 and also optimus sports 2GB of RAM but S3 is having only 1GB of RAM.
Samsung is known for its better hardware utilization & regular updates while I dont have any idea about LG for the same. Guys please suggest me for which phone I should go ??
Thanks & Regards
Abhishek

The LG is considerably better in hardware specs (newer, faster processor, double the ram)
The 1GB of ram certainly hurts the S3.
LG is bad at updating, but it seems they are trying to improve that. However there hasn't been a real transformation yet.
Despite this, the stock software from LG is less intrusive and more holo-like than TouchWiz, the aesthetics are better in my opinion.
Touchwiz has the upper hand in features though.
Go to GSM Arena, they have a comparison between them.

When you are asking for high end android smarphone here then I will give my answer is wait for one or two month then go for samsung s4. You will get much better hardware, longer support and updates, and more future proof.

Get yourself an i9305 instead. Much better option.... 4core+2GB of RAM + LTE+Android 5.0 coming for sure= future proof for little money. Here in UK you can get a New one from eBay for £300 or less!! Simple as that

Software itself it's good IMHO.
Updates are really bad though - LG takes a long time to update non-flagships. Which in the short term won't be an issue for you.
But if you are planning to stay with the device for a long while, you might not see Android 5 for your device.
I don't know how good the development for the device will be, but it seems that S3's is far larger.
So, it depends, you could have better hardware, sacrificing future updates or development support (despite S3 having little of AOSP flavor, we have several quality stock ROMs, and that's without mentioning the top quality kernels available )
For the people that complain about Samsung and updates, see this :
