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.

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!!!!

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.

Just came back from the Galaxy Nexus

I just came back to the Epic 4G Touch after having a Galaxy Nexus for a bit (bought one at launch and I'm selling it now) and damn it feels good to have this phone again.
I really wanted to love the GNex... especially the software buttons... but the battery life was complete sh** (I was lucky to get 8-10 hours) and certain things just weren't as smooth. Not to mention not being able to use my favorite live wallpapers because while everything runs like butter on the E4GT, it'd cause a very noticeable stutter/lag in the UI on the GNex. Oh, and the camera on the GNex is also crap in comparison.
Anyhoo... those of you that are running the leaked 4.0.x ROMs, how's the battery life?
I'm just fine using ADW EX until the 4.0 update hits... at which point I'll immediately install Apex Pro again... but I hope they don't wait until after the Galaxy S3 hits to push out the OTA to our phones.

The GNex is really not a "better" phone...and since I probably won't even root this thing, I'm not that concerned about development.

I Nexus is a great device, it's not quite as fast as the Epic Touch, but it gets the job done. The thing I disliked about the Nexus is the screen time didn't come anywhere near the Epic Touch and I'm a heavy user. So for medium-light users, the gNex would be perfect. I swear it's got to be the penTile screen on the Nexus that's hinders the screen time as far as battery life goes. I hear the SGSIII has penTile too, but it's a new ugpraded version of it?

I heard that Franco kernels for the Nexus had amazing battery life...I don't get eight to ten hours battery life on my Epic Touch on CM9 alpha 5 due to no kernel source...my phone lasts forever on Caulkins el29 based rom ...all in the kernel, brah.

Thats why I laughed at all the people jumping ship to the GNex. Ya its pure android but that is where it the comparison stops

How's the Nexus since mid April?

I had the Nexus back in April, and I got the razr back after trade after trade, and I can get another Nexus. Anyways had it improved? I had probably 8 hours of battery if I was lucky, 2-2.5 hours screen on. I was running gummy 1.2.0 and Franco m2. I miss the screen a lot, but I like the the thinnest of the razr, but I'd rather have the Nexus screen.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA

The one thing that I feel comfortable talking about is battery life (I've had my Gnex for 2+ weeks), but I get usually about 16 hours of battery life, with 3.5 hours of scree on time.
Coming from the Evo family of phones, I'm delighted with that.
Btw, this is a completely stock, unrooted phone.

You misunderstood.

No worries, the UI has portrait and landscape capabilities.

I miss my Galaxy Nexus :(

So I had the Verizon Galaxy Nexus running Jelly Bean and today I sold my nexus and bought the SIII. I never realized how much software matters over hardware! Sure the SIII has more ram and a slightly better camera but I will tell you while I miss my nexus!!!!!
1. Stock OS - I hate the fact why on my SIII I cant organize my apps into other app folders. I feel like I am running android 2.4 and not 4.04!
2. Jelly Bean- I love project butter (even though the Siii is still smooth) and I way prefer googles voice assistant alot more
3. Build- I think I am one of the few that prefer the the size and material of the nexus. Even though the nexus is close in size, I still feel the
S3 is just too big. Not to mention I prefer the rubberized feel on the nexus.
4. On screen menu keys. Just have not got used to the S3 and dont know if I ever will.
5. Ability to swap roms. Being that verizon has a locked bootloader on the S3 and there are no working Jelly bean roms, I feel by the time
Verizon upgrades to Jelly Bean I will be counting down the days till the Galaxy Nexus 4 comes out!!!!
*****Thinking about selling my S3, but dont want to waste an upgrade on a new phone so just may give it to family and buy my nexus back***
Bottom line.... I miss my nexus

That's why I did not buy it

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

even though you can slap a cyanogen onto a non-nexus device, it will took longer than on nexus. On Nexus, Google update new version, the longest you have to wait is one week before a build is surfacing. But nowadays our dev are super so it only took few hours lolz, and with pretty much everything working most importantly.
With non-nexus, NO~~ it took ages to wait for this driver, that source code wtf wtf bla bla bla~~ I've been there with SGS2 and One X, regretted my choice. and you cant enjoy the true feeling of AOSP too. you'll notice you need TW or Sense for a better hardware experience like the camera, etc etc.
oh as asdfasd2 said, yes i agree. Samsung does sucks with their source codes. CM was long enough on SGS2 and still, after they release the codes, devs are having headaches fixing what were supposed to be fixed. Luckily Nexus S and Gnexus are handled by Google, not them.

i must confess i was feeling a little tempted myself but ever since the nexus 7 release i cant take the damn table off my mind just waiting a couple of weeks to see if a nexus 10 is gonna be release but i cant wait a lo more

To be fair, devices in stores for demonstration are laggy for the most part. The Galaxy Nexus as well, it's not a proper way of "demoing" the phone.

It depends on what model you actually have. If its the quad s3(international i9300) you made a worst decision of your life and to sum it all up Almost all the famous devs are there.

Happy with my GNexus. Played with an S3 and didn't like the feel, or the physical buttons. Plus you can't beat stock ROM even if there are ways to get AOSP on the S3 it's not the same.

Same experience here. Thoroughly tested the S3 already and the GNex definitely feels smoother and gives an overall beter user experience.
And as said before not everyone who buys an android smartphone can be assed rooting their phone, flashing roms, backupping everytime. It's very nice that it's possible to do with android but it should not be an obligation whilst buying a smartphone.. It should work perfect out of the box, and that's exactly what the GNex does and any other android phone manufacturer fails to do.

Same experience here. Thoroughly tested the S3 already and the GNex definitely feels smoother and gives an overall beter user experience.
