Looks like the Galaxy SIII might have gotten leaked in Vietnam.
"According to the specifications leaked, the phone houses a 4.6-inch display at 720 x 1184 resolution (320 DPI, depending on whether you include those on-screen Android buttons), while a quad-core 1.4 GHz processor works on keeping the Ice Cream Sandwich OS running smoothly. Other hardware mentions include 1GB of RAM, 8-megapixel camera, 16GB of storage plus microSD capability."
There's a video included too. Would be interesting if these specs point to what the next Nexus hardware might be if Sammy gets to build the next Nexus again.

Not sure why the "Galaxy Nexus General" forum has turned into "Any New or Rumored Device" Forum.
Because the last two Nexus have had very close specs to whatever the Samsung Galaxy offers. If the next Nexus device is indeed a Samsung device again than this can give us somewhat of a glimpse of what to expect.

But its not a Nexus. And its not this phone. You have to realize that these threads were made for the RAZR, Rezound, RAZR Maxx, HTC One X, One S, etc. etc. etc. If its not a Galaxy Nexus or Nexus related, it really has no place here. This isn't a "post about new devices" forum, that's what Android General forum is for.
May I recommend:
General Forum
Android General Forum
For better or worst history has shown Samsung Galaxy variants and the Nexus program share some things.
Is there a non device specific nexus forum or is Android general pretty much it?

He's right. This had no place in the Galaxy Nexus forum at all.
Just think...some of us are locked into a contract for 2 years (myself included) and won't be purchasing a GSIII and possible the next Nexus phone....think of the logic....there's no point in drooling over something you can't necessarily have.
So please, can we keep Galaxy Nexus General on-topic and productive?

Guys I understand your point but my reasoning for posting wasn't for drooling over a device. I have never owned a non Nexus Android device outside of the G1. My reasoning behind the post was because as crazy as it sounds I just thought we can have some sort of wild speculation amongst Nexus enthusiasts over what might be in store for the Nexus program next. Given the correlation between the Galaxy S > Nexus S & Galaxy SII > Galaxy Nexus I thought we might have some sort of foresight through the Galaxy SIII to whatever the next Nexus device might be. Ofcourse its a big IF since no one knows who is building the next one (hence speculating). I thought it would be fun and lets be honest outside of the Nexus forums who really cares to partake in a discussion about potential future Nexus hardware? No need to take the fun out of the forums.
We could've been knee deep in Nexus talks by now instead of disputing forum law. So if this is off topic then by all means close or move it but if anyone else wants to chime in please don't let the forum police deter you from doing so.

I doubt the next Nexus will feature the new A15 Exynos quad cores and mali's....they aren't open source.
This thread is still irrelevant.

Agree with the sentiment about the posting to a General site. but I strongly disagree with you on not being able to drool over something you cannot have.
I am in contract, I will drool..... AND I will get me a new S3 when it comes out when it pleases me.
Galaxy S III like Galaxy Nexus upgrade version, Galaxy S III have bigger battery (2050mAh), faster CUP/GPU (Quad-Core) and 8-megapixel camera !
lets hope quality control is better on these phones and we see less screens issues ie blotchs colour tinting and transparant lines / banding problems, somehow i doubt it thou :/

bow chicka wow wow.
I like to have a new phone every major software update. The jump from gingerbread to ics on the s2 looks the same from the outside. I don't need that much power. All I need is a new experience every year.
Edit: all that while still using the same phone.
I created this thread as a way for everyone to get to know each other by name. We're a tight knit group of users in here, and I thought it would be appropriate for us to know each other by name. In the recent weeks, I've noticed an increase in bickering. Experience has taught me that when people know each other on a name to name basis, it creates a more personal atmosphere, where people are less likely to show disrespect to one another.
As your Moderator, my goal in the forums is to create a peaceful atmosphere, where people aren't at each other's throats. It takes away from the true purpose of XDA, and also pushes people away. Let's all work together to improve the overall atmosphere of these forums. After all, we're all here for the same reason; a passion for development, cell phones, and sharing thoughts and ideas.

My name is Tyler. I'm an android vet when it comes to applying mods and roms and whatnot, but when it comes to the guts of the stuff, I'm no good. I tried compiling a build of ICS for my nook color, but even that was beyond me. This is my fifth android device. After a Moto Milestone and Droid 3, this is my first phone with an actual unlocked bootloader that I didn't have to jump through hoops to root (never buying moto again). So that's been nice. I look forward to working with you folks.
Hey guys! My name is Andrew
First Android device here in the Captivate Glide I am learning how to do the little things in Dev and hopefully in time will just continue learning ...
My name's Rohit. The captivate glide is my second android device, behind Desire HD (still have it). I owned an iPod which I messed around with, going to the roots and such. Moving to android gave me more control over the phone than I had with the iPod. I know a little about editing widgets for android as well as figuring out problems which occurs.
the name is Gabriel. Been an Android user since 2010, most of my devices are Samsung so I am comfortable flashing ROMs/Kernels for these devices. I also used Sony Ericsson and HTC devices. My device history below:
Captivate I896 & I897
HTC Desire
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc
Samsung Infuse 4G I997R
Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE I727R
Samsung Galaxy S Glide I927R
I always stick on stock ROMs. But since I've been tied through developers' work, I have dedicated time to test their ROMs/kernels, use them until I know it is capable of being a daily driver, then go back to stock....

I went from my, like 4 years old, HTC Dream to the Glide(which was so hard to root in comparison to the Glide). Also I like how I'm not the only one who owned a HTC Dream before <3
Hope to see some nice ROMs in the future
Hello from Fabrizio,
Rome - Italy.
Captivate Glide is my first android ever and i'm totally in love with it.
Mike from Toronto, Canada.
Had a Xperia x10 that went from 1.6 to 2.3, and got the Glide after. I still have a want for a physical qwerty. Glide is rooted and running custom OSI Mood ROM from Carpe.
I run a QA dept for a mobile app company and I have a lot of devices at my work (Nexus, Note, HTC's, Xperia's, etc..) and I still like my Glide over all of them.
I don't post much, but read a lot. I find people tend to post too much about nothing.
I also have an Asus Prime.
Looking forward to having ICS come out!

This is my first Android Device. I'm enamored with the flexibility of both the OS and the hardware.
Previous devices of any importance were a WinMo 6.5 LG eXpo and before that a feature phone LG Vu, over the course of the past 7 years. This community is important to me from both a support and a customizing aspect. Thanks!
Hi, I'm Austin... From Fredericktown Mo USA
This is MY second android device (not counting the two of my parents)
I had,
Iphone 3g (horrible)
HTC aria (awesome little thing)
Traded that for iphone 3gs
Traded that for my glide
I also have a Samsung Captivate and Moto Atrix 4g in my family...
I try not to post too much, but if there's a question that I have, or someone has a question that I have the answer to, I'm not shy.

Haha! LG vu. I had that phone... It was a pretty cool little device! (ever notice that the scrolling was backward?)
I had an android like ui on my vu.
Its cool to see that other people had that phone too.

Hi All. My Name Is John and I live in Montreal Canada.
I used to have a Samsung Omnia running Windows 6.1 Phone and before that an Axim X51V. Got Tired of crappy touch screens so I told myself I needed a Physical Keyboard so Hello Glide!
I also work in QA for a Computer company Though I deal in the Microsoft Certification of our drivers.
I installed a Rom on my X51V from XDA many years ago and now with my Glide. I like learning how things work and would like to get into making some Roms as I do have some programming skills but I have never done anything like this. I downloaded the Development kit but I am not sure how to use It I am used to Windows Visual Studio for Work.
Hey there
Hello everyone, the name's Alexander.
The Glide is my first real android device. I previously used hand-me-downs, most notably an HTC Kaiser. Before that an HTC Wizard. On the Wizard I used custom ROMs from XDA, and on the Kaiser I was able to run Android thanks to the great work of the developers here!
I have a background in communication & multimedia design, and have been a bit of a whiz-kid for as long as I can remember. I don't know anything solid about the nuts and bolts of Android specifically, and consider myself much more a tinkerer and designer rather than any kind of developer. So all I can offer are tips and suggestions on making the user experience better through theming, widgets, and so on. On the technical side I can hold my own, but generally with Android consider what I say as "good guesses" unless otherwise stated!
I can, however, really understand the excitement AND frustration that go along with any development-process. In part due to my own experience, but also second-hand as many of my friends are computer engineers.
I hope to be of some help to the lovely folks here at XDA!
Hi, Salaam, my name is Muzammil, living in Ajman, United Arab Emirates.
Samsung Captivate Glide is my first Android device, also bought the Galaxy S II, but that's mom's phone.
Have pretty much single handedly maintained this phone's Wikipedia article, with photos and text. If anyone wants to make it better, please contribute

Hello, This is Vinay, from Bangalore - India.
Captivate Glide is my first Android Phone and very happy with the device from past 6 months.
I am basically an Mechanical Engineer. I am not into programming and writing codes.
Am ready to try and feedback on the Mods/kernels/Roms that the Developers are ready to offer to the XDA Community.
I can understand the work, time and patience that the ppl put across in any development process. Appreciate the work guys!!
Heavily try different App's widgets available in the market.
I can support in general usage issues and suggestions.
Always happy to learn and share.
Hey guys, Paul from London here.
Had my AT&T branded Captivate Glide for a few weeks now. Really like it lots, although I'm itching for some ICS action, but have so far managed to hold out from rooting and flashing it just yet due to the possible official upgrade
Its my third Android device my last being a Motorola Milestone that I had overclocked and flashed a few ROMs on. Ended up running CM7 in the end which I was pleased with, although the battery life left me wanting.
Backflip anyone?
Harry from NJ here. Upgraded to Cappy Glide from the Motorola Backflip running CM7. The Backflip had a great keyboard but was was slow and old (like me!).
Anyone else had a Backflip?
What's a good starter guide to android programming? :cyclops:
i would like to get deeper into androids, other than what i do now (unlocking installing rom, All that bs does not take a genius) if someone is willing to teach me or let me take part in a program with them, message me. I'm asking here in xda cause if you're going to find anything about android platforms, developing, debugging, customization, unlocking everything, i'll find it here. You guys here got it. Never have i been so impressed as I am with xda and the crews.
Ps that guy on cnet that said google let people down cause of no lte. well bud ask everyone that uses 1700 2100 (aka canada wind mobo networks) ***** u got money i don't, i use wind, i pay 25 unlimited. Thanks google.

Pointless post here in the Galaxy Nexus subforums.
There's an Android specific forum with suitable subforuns here at XDA.
Once again:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=564
And it's full of developpers!
Guess what! There's even a subforum called "Android Software Development" in there. And inside that subforum, guess again! There's a pinned thread called "[Guide]Complete Android ROM development and essential tutorials".
idk if anyone has read this or not, but i figured i should post this up on here and see if anyone has any sort of insight on this...
Samsung Confirms Galaxy S3 Phones Vulnerable to App Based Attacks
December 19th, 2012 by Gregory Gomer Posted in Mobile, News, Samsung
Samsung’s iPhone killer might be in for some trouble this holiday season. A report surfaced this weekend that the Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung’s most popular phone, is vulnerable to malware and app-based attacks, thanks to a security vulnerable in Samsung’s Exynos 4 processor. And today Samsung has confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy S3 is vulnerable to a malware exploit. More on Samsung’s response below.
Here is information on the original report of the Samsung GS3 malware vulnerability this weekend, courtesy of CNET UK,
XDA Developers member alephzain says they discovered the potentially damaging problem when investigating new ways to root the Samsung Galaxy S3. The vulnerability lies within Samsung’s Exynos 4 chip, and means any app could — in theory — extract data from a phone’s RAM or shoot a jet of molten malicious code directly into the kernel.
“RAM dump, kernel code injection and others could be possible via app installation from Play Store,” alephzain writes. The Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Note 2 could also play host to the same security hole.
“The good news is we can easily obtain root on these devices,” the original post reads, “and the bad is there is no control over it.”
As mentioned above, Samsung is aware and has confirmed that there is a security vulnerability risk with the Exynos processor affecting Samsung Galaxy S3 phones. The company release the following statement on Android Central, Samsung says “is aware of the potential security issue related to the Exynos processor and plans to provide a software update to address it as quickly as possible.”
We will update this as soon as we know more about the malware vulnerability. For now, I would recommend only sticking to well known and legitimate apps. This will limit your risk until Samsung issues a fix and updates us with more information on the security risk.
This does not affect rooting the S3. Also, the Sprint S3 does not use the Exynos processor.
I just made an app to expose more pro like video features out of the latest ICS+ devices. I developed this app with a HTC One S. However I quickly realized that Samsung devices hate this app so far. A buddies Note II choked on it as well as a SIII user who truly wanted to try the app out. I took it off the Play Store and I'm bringing it here to iron out the issues first with Samsung devices. I would be willing to bug fix for other devices as normal afterwards. Please visit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230563 for my first post to the APK. Thanks.
You can try elusivestars.com - I am offering between 5 and 25 Free reviews. You can select devices based on Brand, Model, OS version...
