Samsung Galaxy S3 May 22nd?

Just saw this posted on phandroid. After looking at the recent horrible renders....do you guys think its finally time for the real deal. Personally the glimpse provided is rather sexy.
What's your thoughts??

Woah, I hope that is the real deal! Looks sleek to me. I think my other line is upgrade eligible at the perfect time.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

That's very sleek. If it's real it'll be one more reason to give the SG3 a hard look when (if ever) it comes out.

Yea. It looks almost too sleek. Like a touch screen remote or something. Its a serious stretch from what we've seen. But with the advancements this phone is supposed to usher in.....its almost kinda fitting. My OG Epic line is up in October.
Hopefully that's enough time for it to get jerked around by sprint and have a decent rumor on a release date.....

But that will be GSM International so cdma may be in december when htc and other might start preparing for android 5.0...Knowing samsung this one will come with 2.6 with promise to upgrade in future...

Looks like its gonna be made with aluminum and ceramic maybe? Looks like it could be the real deal tho the invite date is right afaik, the only problem is the US variant won't make it here til sometime end of 3rd or 4th quarter since Sammy didn't let this one out of the cage til September I don't see them dropping another flagship device less than 12 months from the last especially since the epic 2 is coming this summer which is basically our phone with LTE instead of wimax, but most of the specs are very similar otherwise

Honestly I could see them dropping it sooner. While the Epic 2 is known about it's pretty much a refresh of the Epic that is already there and no it's not a Epic Touch it's the Epic with the keyboard so it's the update to that model nothing more and with better specs. I could see Sammy dropping this on everyone if what they said was true about wanting to release it world wide in 1 shot instead of how the GS2 was released where people pretty much had to wait almost a year to get their hands on it (outside of the GSM version)
Also that looks like the back of the phone as many have said in that posting. I tend to agree with it as well but seriously if that really is it....Shut up and take my money please now!!!!

Keyboard was the main reason I bought the og epic over the evo

True the hard keyboard is nice to have at times but I have to admit after using one for so long and pretty much jumping ship to a touch only phone I don't see myself being able to go back. I love slim phones I always really have I just could not get away from the keyboards but now that I have I don't see me going back ever again.

Lithgow is a legend. The World According to Garp, Footloose, Twilight Zone the movie (the dude freaking out on the airplane), Raising Cain (more evil than his character in Dexter). Plus his great character on 3rd Rock. Love that guy.

Switching to new phone.

Holiday season is coming up and a lot of people are getting a new phone. Personally, there are two contenders that I'm still trying to decide on which to get. The nexus 4 and the lg Optimus g on sprint. Both awesome phones but which one do you guys recommend?

Yup its this great on stock unrooted. I really havent had a reason to root yet and Samsung actually nailed it with the stock touchwiz launcher and the features and s-pen is really great but battery was the big thing that made me jump on to this phone I really got tired of carrying my charger or extra batteries around to me its just stupid and if your going on a trip there's a 8500mah battery witg a nice looking door that doesn't make the phone look to bulky lol one person showed a pic there in the forums getting like 3 to almost 4 days without charging.

yea I thought about getting the note 2 but its a little to big. that's why I want the GS3. but between the nexus and optimus I would go with nexus for pure 4.2 and I assume it has a big support community.

Thought the bootloader on the Opt G is locked...?
Anyhow, whichever you decide - can I make a suggestion?
I'm in support of the idea of getting Agat another E4GT for kernel work.
If you're willing to that would be IMHO a great use for the phone.
(Assuming you're not handing it down to someone else, of course...)

I would go for the nexus 4 just for stock android. And lte doesn't matter for me because I get around 13mbps down here

If it was +$100 then yes. Do they have the same internal memory?

God no! $250??? Plus a $400-600 phone... wow this shouldn't even be a question. And don't fall for the quad core vs dual core bit either... same real world speeds and performance. If the s3 isnt enough for you, then nothing will be. You will be looking to trade the note2 in a few months too. Don't be about keeping up with Jones's. The S3 is getting 4.1.2 also (with all of the note2 features) soon anyway, not to mention aosp 4.2 is being developed as well. Don't be silly. Just give me $100, keep ur phone, I'll kick u in the nuts, and we will call it a day

Not to mention since it's an international note 2 you probably won't get good data speeds in the USA if any.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

adding $250 is too much, max should be 180 dollars...and he can get decent speeds if there's 1900mhz setup by T-mobile... but, if you got cash to burn then go for way it..I think you already made up your mind anyways....

Int'l Note 2 goes for like $617 brand new, whereas the GS3 is like $540. $250 and you might as well polish his nob.

Really ? Just a bigger version ? So the exynos processor and the increased real estate is nothing ? Believe me there are some artsy folks who can't do half the stuff they do on a GS3. I am one of those people. The increased size is something big enough (pun) to upgrade to. I have had several original Notes and several GS3s. I always find myself in awe of the shear beauty of the Notes screen compared to the GS3. The Note 2 even more so.

Please correct me, but I thought he said he wanted to get a international Note II, instead of the USA version. Won't that mean he'll only get 3g speeds? If that's so, than why not get the USA version? Is the S3 he has the international version too?

My best guess is that the Nexus 5 will probably have some version of key lime, but you'll have to wait toward year end to get it. I don't see the S4 having it given its anticipated spring arrival. Spec wise - I think toss up, unless the S4 truly does rock the Exynos 5 Octa CPU with Mali-T658 (8-Core) GPU. That's a combo very hard to beat! Hang on to your hat.......and your wallet!

The best Phone out right now is the GS3 for Sprint. My contract is over around June so I will be grabbing either the Galaxy S IV or Sprint's Variant of the HTC M7. Im not a fan of stock android phones, (If i wanted stock I would flash any AOSP Rom) so the Nexus 5 or Motorola X aren't in my list .

Does the Note 3 have a RGB display like the Note 2 or does it have the Pentile display like the S3 and S4?
If it has a RGB Display it will be hard to not get. I sadly can't get it because I'm putting all my extra money into helping my parents get by right now.
It's going to suck that I won't be able to get it. I'm already depressed and once it's released on T-Mobile I'll be even more sad. It's such tough times right now and I love phone. Having the Note 2 was great but after seeing what the Note 3 can do and all of its features, I'm just so sad. I know it sounds weird but having a good phone really.. Nvm.. Gratz for everyone that can get the Note 3.
I hope everyone is having a good night.

Yeah they're just toys pretty much. Not much of a necessity since the D710 kicks some serious booty still. I'm probably not even getting the note 3 on release date since I can hold out for a while with my D710. I love this phone so I can only imagine the power of the note 3. That faux leather battery cover is hideous though. I'm gong to replace that asap and stick in an extended battery lol.

Who usually does the sales for phones like the note?

Amazon is a big one. But that is usually around the time all the carriers come or with a buy one get one... I an thinking family plan style, since i have two phones that expire same time. But Amazon is notorious for the $0.01 sales from end November-x mas.

The funny thing is I just insurance claimed for a new S2 (well refurbd), It does everything I need it too....except LTE. The saving grace is that my area never received wimax, nor does the city I'm moving too. So I don't "need" a new phone, until the city I move to gets it.
I really wanted the S4 active, but I just don't see moving to at&t just to get it. Now, there is a company that will "waterproof" your phone. I may use the spray on water repellent (rustoleum maybe?) on my spare S2 parts phone to see how well it works and then do my new s2. Theres a video on youtube of someone doing an EVO, but not doing a professional job and it was effectively waterproof.
I miss having a stylus based phone (coming from the Touch Pro 2 and ppc6800), but the note 3 is large, maybe too large for me, but man would it be nice to have such a large screen for games and media. Plus the true multitasking and windowed programs looks badass, that is the next step, specially someone liek me that used to carry a small laptop around.
My concern is having the thing in my pocket, in jeans when I sit down it would probably snap the thing in half. Also using it one handed while driving, maybe a smaller dialer and localized controls for google maps and such. When gmaps released the new update without zoom buttons...what a terrible experience.
I also don't want to waste an upgrade waiting 2 years for a good phone to come out. Now that phones are getting really expensive, you kinda have to time it better. I'd love to have as S4, but I'm glad I still have my upgrade right now, on the other hand a used S4 is still $450 on craigslist, so you can get your money out of it still. But a non-contract note 3 is probably like $800, and $300 for contract, I may just get one based on the savings.

Double tap and zoom with your thumb on the new Google Maps, easier than buttons

Mostly will be my new phone! Was gonna go for the LG G2 but this looks amazing !!

Is there any sales that don't require a contract? I just got out of a sprint contract and I'm not about to go back into another.

You will probably be able to pick it up under one of the prepaid programs out there once the hype settles down.

Yeah I rather wait after release since release models always have some bugs.
