Also means the end of all official support for the galaxy s2.

well we still got a while before that happens, not everyone upgrades when a new device comes out. this is the main reason i didnt buy the nexus among other things ,but we still got half a year before we gotta worry about development ending if it does i would assume

I meant official Samsung support. They seem to be on the "here's our new phone so we don't support anything before this one" thing. Im sure this phone will be unofficially supported by devs for much longer than Samsung will.

If they follow previous patterns, that should mean Int'l release around May, and US release between August and November. We'll be fine for some time to come.

It used to be that like a year after something came out they would announce the next best thing, its moved to as soon as the new thing is out the next best thing is announced. pretty soon its just gonna be announcement following announcement.

Guess I better hold off on the nexus then. Maybe I'll import this when it's released.
——————————
Deebo took your bike too?

I never wanted the nexus to start with.Aside from ICS nothing about that phone appeals to me

Ehh. As soon as one phone is released, another phone is getting ready to be released that is better. There is no point in waiting.

Agreed. Excellent marketing strategy though if you think about it.. Always leaves you wanting the latest and greatest. 3 million Galaxy S 2 in 55 days is no joke..

Pfft I'll wait for the galaxy s4, I hear it's gonna blow everything away!

Quad-core or higher-clocked dual-core? Guess we'll find out in due time

Possible official jellybeans in your E4GT's future?

Disclaimer:this is coming from an employee at a smallish Sprint store, so please know that it's far from confirmed.
So yesterday I was at the Sprint store upgrading to the S3, and I was asking about the S3's JB update. After he told me that it's for sure coming soon(non help on when), and while he was porting my sister's number to my E4GT, he started to tell me that the E4GT would be getting JB, and that Samsung had told their store this information. The lady at the counter next to his had agreed with that he had just told me. I was given no time frame either, just that the device will be getting it.

I was kinda thinking that. The same guy and lady both said that Sprint would not be getting the Note 2, when they've personally announced that they are and even had a hands-on with the Sprint device in new york. I would make a way better Sprint employee that that guy. But I'm only 16, so that's a no for two years for me.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

I hope it happens, but Sprint is probably telling them that to make sure the S2's keep selling

When JB arrive to Epic Touch, i think all of us will be in the galaxy 3 or note 2 forum postin LOL
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

It's coming for the E4GT, all the rumors from reliable sources point to it.
Your backup source should be the fact that the phone just started rolling out for Virgin and Boost.
(Meaning they're not going to EOS it anytime soon.)

^ this guy knows his stuff... if he says its gonna happen. It means its gonna happen.

...And if you assume they are right you're also the fool. Hopefully lesson learned next time
Seriously, it's a point of competition against Apple. You'll probably see even longer support as they get closer to a standard build for most phones; one of the biggest reasons for delays on our device is the fact that more changes are needed.

This thread lost all credibility in the first paragraph. S2 to s3 really? What's the point it's the same phone. Go return and wait for the new nexus or note 2. No reason to blow a 2 yr upgrade on a same generation phone.

I for one think it is a completely different phone. It has a whole different feel from the S2, it's faster and lighter, bigger screen, that physical home button. My sister had me use her upgrade on the first to buy a new phone anyways so she would get my S2. So I still have my own upgrade to use, which probably will go towards the Note 2. On AT&T. I'll be switching once my contract is up in December.

Always remember this. Unless that Sprint employee also follows the XDA forums, you probably know more about what's going to happen than he or she does.
That said, I do think this phone will see official JB.

Well you kinda can't blame them if they had really old laggy androids. My girlfriend had an lg Optimus s which was one of those phones and hated it so much she got the 4s. Makes me cringe saying that but the new Android phones out now are simply incredible. People don't know what they're missing. Once a sheep always a sheep I guess lol.

Yeah I got the s3 and ill have a upgrade nov 1st 2014 gonna be awesone s5 or s6 or note 4 or 5 lol
But good thing about samsung as of lately they been staying up to date on there devices
Kinda glad that my s2 aka my back up phone is getting the jb update having two phones on jb will be nice
Kinda hard to believe as of 2 years ago I was a htc fan now im a samsung fan
Btw before I got the s2 I got the 4s and they dont have lost or stolen coverage on there phones so to me apple is a bunch of conartists and will never ever support apple or there products

I've already upgraded from my et4g twice since nov. First went to the s3 now the note 2. Definitely wasnt disappointed with either. I actually just sold my s3 for $100 cuz I busted the screen. So the buyer got a month old s3 for $100 + $130 for new screen = $230 they got a sweet deal they're a member here too that I know outside of xda and they were upgrading from the et4g maybe they'll stop by and chime in on the difference and if they are happy or not with the s3. The s4 is still 6 months or so out. Its estimated date to go on sale for the international version is sometime in June and US 1-2 months later so youre looking at july or august b4 US carriers will have em

I've been hearing on different tech site's the s4 might come out as early as April. Either way I'm very happy with this device at the moment anyway so I can wait. This phone should be really nice once we get source I'm thinking.
Edit: I'm also coming to this device a couple months ago from the 3d so probably why I'm content with this for now.

I upgrade every few months by selling my current phone and finding a sweet deal on a newer used phone. Though I may just switch to the nexus 4. With their pricepoints I may just be able to upgrade for free forever.

[Galaxy s5]Talk/Rumors.

Anyone sticking around for the s5(or whatever the next s phone in the series is?) I got this phone a year late, and since everybody else is getting the s4, I was wondering if anyone is still gonna hold out for the s5.
This would be VERY cool if this is indeed a "leak." http://www.itechpost.com/articles/9801/20130527/samsung-galaxy-s5-specs-leaked-early.htm
What do you think? What will the next galaxy phone have? Will it be worth it to stick around?

Lol s5 leaks? The gs4 JUST came out like a month ago... but these seem like somewhat reasonable specs...

I'll be on the s2 for a year in September, and it'll be another year after that before I am eligible for upgrade.
By then, the s4 will probably be free, so that's probably my next phone.

Ditto here. My mom just got the S4, despite my protestations. She doesn't even know how to use half the features on her old phone. I tried to talk her into getting the S3 for 1/4 of the price, but she wouldn't listen.

My upgrade is up Oct 1 and I plan to get whatever is best at that time but nothing as large as the note 3. I think a 5" screen size is perfect for an all around device. Possibly the LG Optimus G2 or Motorola X. Still waiting for news on both.

I skipped the S3 b/c I think it wasn't a major-enough upgrade. But I got the S4 right when the preorders went live. I'll be using my upgrade for the S5 when it comes out, most likely. Kept my S2 as my backup phone and mom & wifey's still rocking the S2.

Im going to get my s4 tomorrow but im still torn between that and the note 2....

Windows phone, this android stuff is getting a little boring.

Just put girlfriend on my plan, and i got her the s3 for $30 on amazon. She keeps asking me "how do i _____" But it is one smooth phone! my upgrade is up next may, and you better believe im going to save money for the beefed up s5. (unless something else better comes out, which might be the new motorola phone. but i really enjoy sammys!)

Thank you woody for seeing the light. Because you just use android as you would an iphone. I bet you are not unlocking the full customization of the phone. Yeah for you maybe go simple. Such as iphone or microsoft. Hell even a flip phone. Goodbye now

Great news on the design, but no removeable battery is pretty much a deal breaker. How does Samsung not realize what their best features are? Seriously, the removable battery and SD card slot are the core design features that separates their product from the crap Apple puts out.

If your problem is only with large screen then go for it! Because when I bought my S3, my first thought in mind after unboxing was "seriously, why did I even buy this huge phone" (saw S3 first time). Now I don't regret having large screen and I love it now. I'm sure you will get used with it also and start loving the 5" 1920x1080p screen.

I would assume the manufacture warranty would cover it but I'm not sure. Also, it's just my personal preference. I miss HTC and there build quality. The S4 is nice, I would upgrade to it if I wanted another Samsung.

I don't think so. Standard warranties are one year. If it's out of that year, I don't think they'll cover it.
