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!!!!

Same specs-ish but one has a physical keyboard one doesn't which one should I get?
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.
Oh yeah the SGSIII looks nice too.

I'll bite. I love how long winded my responses have to be for people to understand that this phone works on T- mobile and At& t. And that I get "unlimited" everything for $45 a month. They balk at the extremely reasonable price for being completely contract free for nearly, and at times, half as much money. Reinforces, for me, that there are far too many functional idiots out there.

yes this, and always feels quite odd, that i use pre paid and have an up to date phone more so than friends that just signed a two yer contract for the new "hotness" Never agian will I sign a contract. With the explosion in arm chipsets over the last year, I feel this phone will always keep up with me. I always used to flash roms to try and make it run better. This phone I'm running buglessbeasts almost stock rom from when jb came out. Have not felt the need to try anything else(I will once cm10 becomes RC1)

GS3 vs G-nexus benchmark test!

Thought it'd be a fun experiment to run benchmark test on The best dev backed up phone vs one of the top 2 android device to date, benchmarks are not to be taken too seriously as they are not to reflective of real world usage, plus some of you may say this test is un-fair becuase thr gs3 running 4.0.4 and g-nexus running 4.1... non the less your thoughts and opinions are all welcome!

I agree with you on the aosp... but even still the nexus in thoroughly defeated by the GS3 in my opinion and I'm not just referring to just hardware .... anything you can pit against a phone(except timely updates) the GS3 take the nexus down... in fact I made a video on it ... check it out and tell me what you think..

I stick with the nexus because of the updates and dev community. Spec wise it murders but the developmental on t mobile phones are so slow the nexus is the only way to get the experience i want. I almost bought a gs3. I went to the gd3 forum looked at the cm10 thread and there where alot of issues. I dont want to have to deal with that.
that got a little side tracked sorry

Lol still don't want a sglll, I don't care how much it "beats" the Gnex.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

As you can see, the gnex benches at roughly half the score of the s3 on antutu, so there's no point in "racing" them. The gnex' other benefits more than make up for this though, IMO. Just my two cents.

Here's to hoping the next Samsung nexus device is just the s3 with aosp

I made the mistake of buying an s3. What a waste of money, at least I can still get decent cash for it second hand.
Benchmarks don't tell the real story ... GNex is far from being a slow phone and the Galaxy s3 is bloated with useless features and software.

I love the mentality that if a new phone comes out the previous version is immediately outdated. I'm pretty sure I'll have my s3 for at least another year and a half if not longer, not everybody jumps on the "brand new phone" bandwagon.
I like this version a lot better than the first release but I'm still holding out to see what lifeproof's s3 case looks like.

That is way too expensive, plenty of good cases for less than $20. CNET just did a review on about 20 or so good cheap cases for the S3.

These people must be on crack if they think I'm paying $70 for a case. Yet most consumers need to learn how not to be zombie/robot ready and willing to pay $70 for some recycled aluminum and plastic!

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.
