We all know that yesterday Iphone 5 was launched.
Specs for Iphone 5 are:
1.1168*640 resolution with 326 ppi
2.8MP camera with 1080p recording and 1.2 MP front camera with 720p recording
3.A6 2x faster than A5 as they say!!
not yet anything about the cpu
What do you think
1.will it be quad core or dual core??
2.and will be better than our S3
I think this should be closed.
it's Quad (I think)
and before the thread gets closed I want to say this
I have it on good authority that Samsung knew the complete spec of this iphone way before the s3 was released, they built the s3 knowing that it will be technically better than the s3.
Yesterdays announcement confirmed to me that some people knew the FULL spec as early as May (me included )
Blah....©......Blah.....®......Blah......™
Obviously not

BORING!!
I think the OP should change this to "Better than S2???" And then compare. You really cannot compare to the S3 since Apple will introduce some of the S3's features in the next (or the one behind that) iPhone and call it amazing and innovating.
Depends. Nobody seems to know if it has A9 or A15, both has been reported. If the iPhone has an A9 chip, it doesn't stand a chance against our S3. If it has an A15 chip, it's the other way around.
Since Apple states that the new SoC is twice as fast as the A5x, it may well be A9 chips in the new iPhone, but who knows...
Anyway, even if the new iPhone is faster, the S3 will still be far superior. Try sideloading on an iPhone, try installing an ad blocker, try downloading YouTube videos to an iPhone. Doesn't work, right? So who cares if the CPU is really fast, you can't put it to good use anyway.

That will actually be a feature on iOS 6, but only for updates of apps you have installed already. Quite the revolution, Apple. Google, enter sue mode!

Iphone is a history now, please forget it. They will continue expanding with such minor enhancements. I mean why would they do major innovation when they already know that with every phone, their profit will remain same if not increase...
me says to isheeps - please wait for iphone 5s.
:victory:
Please
Some one close this.
And if no one does, A6 twice as fast as A5 means A6 is dual core A15 or Quad core A9. Either way, I'm really happy about the SIII, it will squash the sh...t out of the little rotten apple.
the only thing that I can take away that might be better in my opinion is the camera. and I would need to actually use it to be sure. other than that, I wasn't impressed at all. instead of an iphone 5 they should have called it an iphone 4s+.

Exactly! People who compares these two phones - Android fans or Samy fans and show to all Apple fans how the GS2 blows away Iphone 4 even don't realize that comparison like this is a really big compliment for Iphone 4. Every an year old phone would be proud to be compared to the most powerful phone released a few days ago.
To be fair, I've just moved from an IP4 to a GS2, and the iPhone was an excellent device.
Just too many limitations on it.
Granted, android "just works", but iOS, for most people is pretty good. iTunes is a bag of ****, and I fully hate it, but the iPhone is more than just a fanboy toy.
Not getting rid of my GS2 anytime soon though, love it!!

Ugh, I really hate these fanboy apple vs android wars. Like style34 said, this comparison is a big compliment for the iPhone 4 (and I think it deserves it).
I'm looking forward to the iPhone 5 and I'm really wondering how the SGS2 would hold up against that one.
I've never had an iPhone myself as I've always preferred an Android device. However, I've never denied that Apple makes good products.
Same here though. I hate flame wars, no reason to convince fanboys. That's why I rarely go to Engadget anymore.
Granted, some pics I find pretty funny either way.

Yes, comparing the SG2 to the iPhone 4 in every thread is the worst possible comparison.
The phones a year old, it should be compared to the iPhone 5.
Although I am still certain the SG2 will be a much better phone anyway, its meant to be SGS2 v iPhone 5.

Its not a compliment. People just compare it to the iphone 4 because that is the current flagship of iOS, androids biggest competitor.

Who do you think will win the race based on your expectations with both the brands ? Give reasons if possible.
GS3
-Because it is android.
I agree but don't you think the holographic features are just too awesome?
"Ever wondered why??"
I see some stupid posts going around, but this is up there with the most stupid of them. Neither of these phones exist, we know nothing about them, and this is the Android subsection.
I guess that is why I asked about the personal opinion of people who have experience with both Samsung and iPhone phones... and what the people expect from both the brands...

I like neither 'cuz I can't see, I can't feel, I can't touch and more important, I can't test them 2 yet. Therefore, saying I like this over that is just pre-matured childish act.

iPhone has far better build quality then any android phone. If you want your phone to actually get timely updates then you have to get a Nexus S or Galaxy Nexus, which really restricts your "choice" to 2 phones. Meanwhile a 3yr old iPhone 3GS gets iOS 5 day 1 and still runs smoother than most android phones with 5x better hardware.

My SGS2 get updates continously, no problem there.
Of course new major releases like ICS takes 3-4 months from google/nexus release to release for other phones but that is simply part of the business model. And it is in fact mainly positive, because it gives plenty of time for developers to adapt apps for the new major version before average Joe gets the update.
Why would it be better if Google delayed Nexus ICS just to give Samsung/HTC etc time to adapt it to their phones?
Nexus and sgs2 have a good history of successful updates of Android series...

GS3 because it absolutely needs to be. iPhone 5 can rely on the name and not the hardware.
http://www.samsungmobilepress.com/2012/02/27/GALAXY-S-WiFi-4.2
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).

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?
Sent from my YP-G70 using XDA
EDIT: NEW NAME!
This device is now called the Galaxy S Relay 4G. See post #10
Just wanted to get a little discussion going for this device. It has potential to be the next(last?) great QWERTY slider phone. I couldn't find a forum for new phones, so my apologies if this is the wrong place.
Anyway, the talk right now is that this device is going to drop August 15th on T-Mobile USA. Rumored specs include:
~ 720p screen (more likely 800 x 480- see post #8 on this thread)
~ S3 or S4 dual core 1.5ghz processor
~ 1 GB RAM
~ 16 GB internal phone storage
~ Android 4.0
~ 5 megapixel camera
I'm praying the SOC really is S4, with that these stats could put it extremely high-end for a QWERTY slider phone.
Oh, and I forgot to mention: It's a 5-row keyboard.

What do you guys think? Anyone out there who, like me, salivate over the possibility of a true high-end QWERTY slider device?
Here's a link to the latest news article on it:
http://www.tmonews.com/2012/08/samsung-galaxy-s-blaze-q-press-shot-hints-at-release-date/
I might be interested if it has a removable battery and SD slot. That is making me lean away from HTC when my contract is up in a year unless they change from the One series designs. I haven't had a slider in a while, I have to feel it in my hand and see if the slide action is tight or loose and try to gauge how it might feel a year or two later.
Id love this phone. Always wanted a Captivate Glide but this blows its Tegra 2 out of the water.
Only problem is, with QWERTY sliders going out of the market, there is less and less development and support from the manufacturers.
For normal consumers, this isn't a problem. It has ICS (Captivate Glide will get ICS) but really, probably not many ROMs, Samsung will stop updates fairly quick, etc.

Well, I did a little calculation based on the dimensions of the phone listed in the FCC documentation (125mm x 65mm) as compared to the screen-to-bezel ratio in the press shot. Based on my calculation, the screen size is 4 inches. This pretty much debunks the screen being 1280 x 720 unless Samsung introduces a new kind of screen- the smallest 720p screen in a previous Samsung phone is the Galaxy Nexus at 4.65 inches. And ALL previous Samsung phones that had either a 4 or 4.3 inch screen were 800 x 480. I don't see Samsung debuting a new kind of screen for this phone
Damn. That's a big blow for me. I was really hoping for a better screen. And I gotta say, if there's no 720p screen, I bet the processor is S3 as well. Sadly, even with these specs this phone will be the best QWERTY slider on T-Mobile, so I'll probably still get it. But damn, I really had my hopes up for higher specs there for a minute
I suppose it's possible I made a mistake or am wrong about whether there would be a 4-inch 720p screen(there's still a user agent screenshot out there showing the T699's screen is 1280 x 720), but I doubt it. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
It's the 15th and no word yet on this phone.
No word on why the original release date was missed, but the name of the device has now "changed" to Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G. Kind of a lame name, but I'm still holding out hope for a decently-spec'd handset.
http://www.tmonews.com/2012/08/new-training-docs-correctly-identify-t-mobiles-newest-qwerty-device/
Also no word on a new release date yet, but it can't be more than a few weeks away ...
If this phone had the Wolfson DAC: I would've been interested. However I've yet to see a Snapdragon phone isn't a SoC so I'm not holding my breath there.
Thanks to some images found in the Q&A section of Samsung's website, we have confirmation that there's a FFC, the rear camera has a flash, and there's an LED notification light(not always a given with Samsung)!
... Okay, I know it's not much, but it's something, right? Damn it this phone needs some real confirmed specs already

its not same resolution ..its 960*540 and 5.0 has 800*480 which makes that they have totaly the same dpi.

I believe the dpi for GP5 is 186ppi and GP5.8 is 189ppi
I'm surprised a 5.8" PMP is anticipated by so many. The 5.0 model was already borderlining on being too large in my opinion, and a supposed 4.8" would have still been a tough decision. It's disappointing that there isn't a smaller model to accompany it as with the 4.0 and 3.6, so I guess I'll be jumping for the 4.2.
I'm just going to be bragging to my friends that I have the biggest handheld device haha
Many issues with this new 5.8"
1. Resolution is abysmal for a 5.8", needs to be at least 720P
2. Price. This thing will be way more than 199.99 and will probably only get 1 update and then become EOL
3. CPU. Is it the Snapdragon S4, Dual Exynos, or Snapdragon S3?
4. The size will most likely push many away
1. Dude, the ppi is better than the 5.0 so it isn't "abysmal"
2. I agree
3. Who cares about the CPU if it has 1GB RAM (and it better have 1GB RAM)? I'm sure it will be at least a dual core, that's enough for my tasks at least
4. Get the smaller models
What matters more than the CPU or ram is the gpu. If it has the same powerVR chip in the previous gen players, forget it. And I am thinking Samsung really should have stuck with the 5" sweet spot they found with the note; this is really and truly just to much. One inch larger than the biggest handhelds, one inch smaller than the smallest tablets = What the heck is this supposed to be?
