I'm just so excited about this phone. I'm coming from a galaxy note and a galaxy s 2 before that, both amazing phones. I'm sure the Galaxy SIII is gonna be insane, but i really like what HTC is doing with the one brand. By HTC making the one X their flagship phone, they will give it a LOT of support, it will be one of the first devices to get android Jelly bean after the next nexus. And the dev community is gonna be awesome I can already smell it. And last but not least the hardware of this phone will make this device future proof. I personally don't mind the non removable battery and 32gig is more than enough on my PHONE. Let's GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Lol after reading my OP it definitely looks like it. But no they're not I'm just excited as I currently don't have a smartphone just an old flip phone from Samsung and I'm just excited. It's been a year since I had an HTC phone I had the galaxy series tho.
I don't know if it matters wether its future proof or not, seeing that u had an s2 then a note
good phones lasts two years for me
and what's up with the HTC paying you comments is this board getting boring? let the man be excited

Chiiiiil bruv! But I also can't wait! :-D
I'm also excited Though I don't think that the quad core processor will stand out in a while, since it will take a while for all the apps and games to be optimized for quad core.

I don't think you understood what I wrote. I said I haven't had an HTC smartphone for a year but I did have the galaxy series. I had the galaxy s 2 i9100 since last June, then I bought the note 1 month and half ago and I sold it 2 weeks later. So now I have a flip phone and I'm waiting for the one x. I don't need to lie my friend.

Cause Samsung didn't make one. Actually, 4.1.2 is more than likely all we'll officially get. I think they're done upgrading S2's....aside from perhaps the international version I read somewhere.

Mainly because Samsung lost the suit against apple, so they've gone back to the drawing board in many ways. To continue investing in devices that led to them being sued would just not be financially intelligent.
I really hate tw. I'd agree with others. I don't think Samsung it's going to be updating our phones anymore.
There will be no more updates for the Galaxy S2, I saw this confirmed not long ago, but I forget where.

You guys will have to excuse my stupidity, I just don't fully understand how the galaxy s3 has a factory touchwz 4.2.2 rom and the galaxy s2 doesn't. the specs aren't even drastically different. one has 2gb of ram and a higher resolution screen. both are 1.5ghz ...

But with that logic, the s3 is OLDER than the s4, and yet it was updated AFTER the s4 was released....
the galaxy s2-plus (almost as old as the galaxy s2 itself) also has a 4.2.2 update as well. So, tell me more about this $$$ theory of yours :cyclops:

Guys....its simple. Had Samsung not made 100 different S2 variations for some dumb reason, they would have updated us I'm sure. But as there's so many different models out there and the device is 2 generations behind.....they drew the update line in the sand. That's it.
Except the newer one I guess, and I heard the international one....yet to be seen.
That's electronic life. Very short support life span. At least with phones. Maybe if the phone builders didn't put out a new model every 8 months things would be different. But they just love milking the techy's that gotta always have the latest and greatest.
Plus....I agree with the $$$$$ reason too.

the s2-plus came out after the s3(jan 2013), which was a really surprising move for samsung(but in my opinion it was just another way for them to rake in the cash). and pretty much all of the android phones will have ended up with at least 2 system updates from thier respective manufacturers. our phone actually got 3 system updates, it came with 2.3.6 went to 4.0.3 and then to 4.0.4 and now to 4.1.2, if our phone kept getting updates there would be no need to buy a new phone, so once again it all comes back down to they want to make more money. and in this world that is all that any successful company is going to do, try and get you to buy there next new product(even if it means that they have to stop updating a perfectly good device to do it). If they didn't, they wouldn't succeed as a business.
In short our phone is not going to get an official 4.2.2 update because samsung wants you to buy a new phone so that they continue to make more $$$.

buy a new phone.. ok, buy an S3 (which is NOT NEW) BOOM 4.2.2 update. and that works out good for who? Especially if you buy one 2nd hand, does samsung make 2nd hand money? nope. I get the whole it's all about money thing, but apparently nobody gets what I'm trying to say. IF those old, non new phones have it....why not this one. It's old, not new, similar specs. Oh well, If I knew how I'd make my own TW 4.2.2 build lol

I dunno what carrier, but I know I saw one with a 4.2.2 build, that was touchwiz. Very similar to the S4.
maybe it was unlocked/international? Google it.

Anything you saw was most likely a leak at best. No S3 model has an official update from Samsung, even the International, I checked.
I want to know if and when we'll be getting the next update ?

From article
"Samsung hasn't confirmed any Android 5.0 Lollipop updates for its devices; however, at least one device from the manufacturer is certain to receive the new software. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play edition should be among the first devices to receive Android 5.0."
So, we should be among the first to get the update. It will likely be out in the Google Play Edition ROM's first, and official update probably a lot later. I wouldn't expect it to come too soon, but it will arrive.

You are totally right on the above - .
I have read that 5.0 (hate Google's names) is supposed to be a major update (with Art, etc) and the reviews covered other new features - but will have to see if, bottom line, it will really reflect a major step forward.
Totally off topic here - getting tired hearing all the hoopla about Apple Wallet - been using Google Wallet for two years - what's the big deal ?

The only good thing about Apple Pay will be that more retailers will update their CC machines so that we can use NFC and Google Wallet.

It can be "possible" that the Android L can prevent root. But that is mainly for phones with a locked bootloader, which we dont have........
But, first it was Knox, now Google is trying to make it to where you cant even root your phone. Go to the Portal and read this.

I wouldn't call the SGS4 a dead horse in any way, shape, or form. This thing is almost endlessly customizable with just about every flavor of roms you can imagine. I've been eligible for an upgrade for over a year now, and I haven't done it simply because my S4 fits my needs perfectly. Plus, I'm a little concerned that any other device will be a disappointment from what I'm used to. This thing has tons of life left in it...enough so that it'll still make someone else glad to have it when I finally do decide to upgrade.

I was just joking [emoji1] I completely agree with you. If I didn't like my s4, I would have gotten rid of it long ago. It is just a comforting feeling that we will get a major upgrade and it will be nice to see the threads blow up when it drops. I was not expecting this upgrade at all.

Seriously i am with you but i don't know what to do. What about Samsung Service Centres or outlets? Can we submit a complaint or something in written there?
And i am also disappointed with samsung's behaviour. Our device is a successor of their legendary S3 variant and what they have done? They haven't done anything for us.
Yes i will tomorow or day after submit customer complain to Samsung about not updating S3 Neo.Also our device is midrange so that it 1 more thing why they should update it.If it were low end i whould understand but it it not.But first we need to gather more people and see what they think of this. it whould be great if we could sign letter with "S3 Neo XDA comunity" instead of just 1-2 people.

I cannot agree with you. You must know something for Samsung - for S7500 Ace Plus they NEVER update the phone to JB 4.x.x! even when they said will do it officially! So even for low-end must have updates, after all all people who choose the brand is customers. I'm right?
