Seriously? My buddy keeps bugging me about how it's going to be bigger than the One X resolution wise, dude can't shut up about it. If it's actually 720p I'll smack him in the face

how many Galaxy Notes did they ~~sell~~ ~~ship~~ sell again?

What? Lol, how about yes. At least on any actual real information we have right now, GPU benchmarks mainly, its very superior to One X.

Yeah seriously this. No idea why he doesn't think the Galaxy line has a fanbase, it clearly does. Outside of being the most highly regarded Android line, 5m Bigass galaxy's sold in a few months, and over 20m S2's sold as of like, February.

Rockin the Skyrocket right now. I would probably buy the S3 by the end of the year.

step up the design from the GS2. Never buying a plain looking phone like the old galaxy again. With phones like the one x and lumia 900 out there its hard to go for plastic black slab.

The One X has hardware buttons so that should actually have more user addressable space in many scenarios.

We dont have a clue whether or not the S3 will have a pentile or a RGB layout dude. Its to early for this, it could have an LCD2 on the GS3 for all we know.

Yeah thats kind of the point. It started with the Galaxy Nexus. No more capacitive buttons.

it's hard to take phones seriously when they remove great features like a battery compartment and hot swappable sd cards...

I'd actually buy the S3 if it looked anything like that.

It's going to be PenTile.

there's quite a bit of infighting about this... what really baffles me is Samsung CHANGED THE ORDER OF THE SOFTWARE BUTTONS from the way they are in the Galaxy Nexus.

Corran Horn · (04-23-2012, 05:54 PM)

Got my old galaxy S captivate still and debating on the upgrade. Eyeing the HTC One X but maybe Ill just wait for this guy.

Wes · (04-23-2012, 05:55 PM)

My contract is up on my phone (HTC Desire) and I want to get a new android. I was looking at the HTC One X but my understanding is, and forgive my ignorance, that HTC have fallen behind Samsung somewhat with regards to Android, is this correct?

I'll wait to see how the Galaxy SIII shapes up either way.

i guess it's possible, since they already make a non-phone that looks like that...

Samsung Galaxy S Wifi 4.2

So what happens with phones that don't have it regarding future compatibility? Will they have the black space laying there on the underside or?

i wouldn't bet on it being or not being Pentile... but i would definitely bet money on it not being an LCD variant!

I want this on Verizon in the US. I have a feeling I'll be waiting 3+ months, if it ever comes out... :/

Nah, the One X is pretty great. One of the best phone out right now.

Nah, that space just isn't there if there are already buttons.

if they have hardware buttons, they don't have software buttons showing on-screen, whatever is being displayed just fills the whole screen... except for the occasional screwup or weird app... one more reason for HW buttons... more usable space!
