Anything not hardware related in the Samsung Galaxy S 4 is coming to the Samsung Galaxy S III

The Samsung Galaxy S III is still a top-notch phone |
One thing that can't be resolved with a software update is the fact that the new model is smaller in size than the Galaxy S III, despite the larger screen. And then foreshadowing what could be a 6.3 inch screen on the Samsung GALAXY Note III, DiCarlo said that we have yet to see how big phone screens can get. We have a feeling that we are about to find out.

You missed the most important point --
Sales > 10 X Lumia 1020 :D

Sales >10,000 x Canonical :D
Sale < 5 x iPhone ;(
*I'm totally interested in Canonical BTW.

Was canonical in context of the thread? Or you are pissed that W8 is not selling well despite NOKIA :)

No I'm actually really interest in Canonical. Dude I was kidding and going by your icon as you appeared to be going by McJobs's icon (guy showing off the Lumia 620). Notice your icon incorporates Apple and Linux. I even added a disclaimer at the bottom. :(

I don't agree with you about WP being a flop but, I have to say Lumias are pretty heavy for a smartphone. Not necessarily bad but, could eventually get a little heavy after holding it for a while.

How about the Samsung ativ s? Is that so heavy?

The good evil folks at Apple would never do this; they would just tell their faithful: "you need to buy a new phone if you want that new feature! Cash only please!?"
Go Sammy, Go Sammy, GO!!!

I just got tired of Michael H. banning me for every little key stroke that I posted. Ok, maybe some of it might have been offensive and demeaning to some of the congregation but, it was meant with true love and lots of ♥. Besides, the ongoing repetitively bantered articles dedicated to a certain phone with a teeny-tiny 4-inch screen, that shall remain nameless forevermore, with its' limited functionality and its' brand new revolutionary connection, just wiped this 'PAPI' out.
But, I'm back; I just hope that Michael H. with his self-professed huge hands finds it in his heart not to whip-lasso me everytime I write something.

And despite that if sales don;t pick up they would shut down your device from command control center at '1 infinite loop" and that's why they have been tracking everything despite setting it off .. now they want courts to ignore everything that they did :D

Yes, except for the fact, the presence of which has never seemed to deter you, that the 4S got everything the 4 did. The things the 4 and 3GS didn't get, both handsets being updated LONG after Sammy stops supporting their handsets? Features that were hardware related/limited.
27. PAPINYC (limited) 3 days ago posted on 15 Mar 2013, 10:16 2 0
Oh please, I had a 4 and a 4S thanks to an insurance claim; the only thing that was retroactively ported to the 4 from the 4S was useless imbecile named SIRI.

Hardware and software departments only.
Aesthetic is a matter of personal preference though.

Like I've said earlier, why need to change to a new S4 when you can upgrade your S3?
13. Jeradiah3 posted on 15 Mar 2013, 08:53 2 1
I agree. This is why I dont regret upgrading to the S3 in december. mobile technology has statrted to plateau. We dont have to get the hot new product every 6 months when their predecessors have advanced enough to carry some of the newer features. Im content with the S3 for now
33. Twisted247 posted on 15 Mar 2013, 13:55 0 3
"Mobile technology has started to plateau"... LMAO are you blind or just stupid? The flagships of 2013 absolutely take fatty dumps on the previous years (with exception to the Gn2).
Your s3 will be eaten alive by an Exynos 5410 carrying s4, lol.
Just cause you don't have the money to purchase the new items doesn't mean technology is coming to a plateau. The things achieved in the last 3 years in mobile technology have been pretty substantial actually...
39. Droiddoes posted on 15 Mar 2013, 17:37 3 0
If you weren't so busy being a hostile d*ck, you'd see he has a point. A very good one at that. I will also be passing on the S4 and wait for the 5, as I do not see enough difference between the 4 and my S3.

OBVIOUSLY.............Twisted247 must have not gotten the memo when i said that it has STARTED to plateau. Morons like this guy doesnt see the entire picture. Mobile technology thrives on innovation more than most electrical products. The original iPhone, S3, and the original Note were some of the most innovative products in our history. the features they had were monumental. It doesnt mean that we arent going to advance from that, but we have to go back to the drawing board and re-innovate the industry again
If the S4 had 3GB of RAM and that flexible screen that i heard about, then id be crazy not to get it.............BECAUSE ITS BRAND NEW AND INNOVATIVE
Thank you DroidDoes for understanding my point of view!!!!!!!!
As for Twisted247.............you're as anal as "Sheldon" from "The Big Bang Theory".........oh thats right, you've never seen that show because you stay in your room glued to the computer screen thinking that you have a life. Im a social geek that looks at technology as a way of life and an advancement of the human race. Unless you are the 2nd coming of Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, SHUT THE HELL UP AND GET A JOB LIKE THE REST OF US!!!

I agree I am also waiting for the s5 as I don't see enough changes that matter in the way that I use my phone I just want a battery that last 3-4 days and for them to use the 32 or 64gb version as standard as when the s3 came out in uk only the 16gb was available on contracts to all providers
14. GALAXY-STORM posted on 15 Mar 2013, 09:06 7 0
One good reason why s3 users won't be disappointed with their phone. You always have faith in samsung and developers when it comes anything related to software.
16. weinerslav posted on 15 Mar 2013, 09:14 5 0
Well, I'm pretty sure the s3 will be kept in the market as a high mid range device, with a slight lower price so why shouldn't they bring new funcionality? There is a lot you wont get and if you want the latest thing you will still upgrade to the s4. That kind of talk is why most of the manufacturers don't upgrade their phones, and that's why samsung sells more! The fragmentation phenomen comes exactly from that thought and the effect is the opposite, if drives away the customers

Although I've been planning on getting an S4, HTC One or Xperia Z for a while and was waiting to finally see the S4 before I made a decision, yesterday I saw an S3 for a bargain price.
I was hoping I'd made the right decision and wouldn't need to return it. I'm sure the S4 is amazing, but I couldn't see enough to justify the possible extra £200 in price difference between it and the S3 I've bought.
This news is reaffirming my decision.
10. rusticguy posted on 15 Mar 2013, 08:43 0 0
Yes S3 prices will sink to a real nice value. Good phone for those who don't feel comfortable with 5 inch screens. For me 4.7 is comfortable size and that's why still stuck with galaxy nexus.

It "Buy" not "By" ... take the taste of your own medicine as you tend to offer corrections on spellings quite often :)
31. Furbal posted on 15 Mar 2013, 11:37 0 0
So you're upset that Samsung is going to add new features to its previous releases?
I suppose you want them to be like Apple where they cut features out of updates for older models then.
38. darkkjedii posted on 15 Mar 2013, 17:27 0 1
Dude what are you talking about? I actually like the s4, but due to the fact that its almost identical to the s3 giving the s3 it's features could canibalize it's sales. Don't try to divert attention to apple cuz Sammy took the conservative route this year.
42. rusticguy posted on 15 Mar 2013, 17:51 0 0
And PUSH BUGS ... then PUSH FIXES to Create more BUGS. Anyone remember 4S Vodafone fiasco

despite the knew the galaxy s4, I dont feel like my s3 is outdated. Is it becouse the s4 looks the same or the design. I like the design of the s3 and 4. I know is plastic but it feels good on my hand , is not like straight plastic!! is treated.

6.3 is really close to true tablet status. That is a little past my comfort zone with devices i put on my ear. Take it easy Samsung.

"WhoWhy" (or Huwaei) already has a device past 6 inch zone.

If this story holds true count me in for jumping on Samsungs bandwagon. Finally, an Android manufacturer that is earning customer loyalty by not abandoning old models every 6 months or so when they release something new... Sounds almost too good to be true.
49. Jonathan41 posted on 16 Mar 2013, 04:19 0 0
The gives one less of an insinuative to upgrade to a SG4 but, It's awesome that Samsung is looking out for their customers and giving them the latest features.
