Know what, go get your innovative 41mp camera phone with anything else outdated, and leave the GSIII to those who love SMARTphones!

Id rather have the monster phone that does everything great, then a camera phone who's only trick is taking excellent massive pictures.

The pre-release pictures here look great. At least that will put some of people's worries to rest.

Compare this phone's camera with Nokia's present flagship phone Lumia 900/800 . Not with other phones with special functions .

If that's not the case i can blindly comment negatively in any phone's section that it doesn't have a projector like Samsung's projector phone or cannot handle toughness like motorola's Defy etc .

This comment would have made sense after the launch of the Nokia's beast (ie) Windows 8 + Pureview . I would love that .

Enjoy your '41'mp camera on a 2008 era phone so,you are miles ahead of us all!

typical fandroid since they cant compete in the picture department and this is a picture related article... they bring other specs... they will be articles to show off the SGSIII specs but not in here..

Galileo Your trolling is getting hilariously funnier supporting a Nokia phone against android. The galaxy s3 is competing quite well in fact in the camera department equally current top available handsets except for a novelty phone from Nokia with a 41mph count nobody actually needs. In all other counts the galaxy s3 is ahead of the competition. It'd be interesting to see your festering comments to the Nokia 41mp camera when the iphone 4$$ or 5 what ever it calls "can't compete" due to having an 8mp camera or slightly higher

I dont really give a crap either way. They both look like good quality cameras are are an improvement over what I currently use, which is what I'm lookin for.

Hold your "this phone is better than that" BS until they do a side by side comparison to show it one way or another.

why pentitle is outdated, cuz we have something else, new and better***, why we need quad cores? publicity and phones r faster***, in smarthphone world the new thing is the sh*t or am i wrong?. guess what? this cam is worst than the iphone 4s (go to gsmarena). whats my point? samsung fail in deliver a contemporary cam. the others things r da*n good (plastic? :P )

67. Raymond_htc posted on 10 May 2012, 01:50 0 0

your comparison is as same as comparing a human to a giant.
(Comparing 8MP to 41MP?! Are you serious?)

6. Dr_fajardo posted on 09 May 2012, 06:09 5 16

still. compared against iphone's 4s camera dont look that great. samsung didnot improve galaxy's s2 camera too much. what u r talking about?, samsung fail in that.

9. the_s2 posted on 09 May 2012, 06:21 12 6

yea, if i were you, id wait for the inevitable side by side comparison they do before you start shooting your yap off about who's camera is best. The i4s didnt win every category last time.. in fact if i remember it came in like 2nd.

11. adi4u4882 posted on 09 May 2012, 06:21 2 7

12 MP will be good. But it would make the device more expensive.

14. PhoneLuver posted on 09 May 2012, 06:28 9 1

This is a premium device.. Or atleast is should be, it will be expensive regardless of the camera!

30. baldilocks posted on 09 May 2012, 08:07 9 0

More megapixels doesn't mean a better picture. I wish people would realize that.

47. PhoneLuver posted on 09 May 2012, 10:56 4 0

True! But a 5MP pic has far less detail than a 12MP one. What I'm trying to say is that a 12MP photo can easily become a 5MP photo, vice versa it usually becomes a grainy mess!

31. hung2900 posted on 09 May 2012, 08:08 5 0

Do u know that 12 MP means a thicker body?

35. -box- posted on 09 May 2012, 08:56 0 1

I think HTC with their 16MP camera on the Titan 2 might disagree a bit with you... Yes, it's thicker, but not all that much, especially with a case on it

37. hung2900 posted on 09 May 2012, 09:12 0 0

That's true. When you care about the number of MP only, it can still be thin, but not a high quality one. Look at the camera on OneX, only 8 MP but still very thick (camera part).

A 12 mp camera has no tangible advantage over a top level 8mp camera optics. Most people size down there photos for social networks or printing and unless you are wanting a billboard size photo print the extra mp is irrevelant

42. johamsandwich posted on 09 May 2012, 10:15 1 0

This.

I don't see why people do not get this at all. You get a 8mp camera that does burst shots and shoot and saves almost instantaneously.
I would rather have this than have a 12mp camera that takes a couple of seconds to focus and save the picture.

70. jackhammeR posted on 10 May 2012, 09:48 0 0

doesn't have?
compare pixon and new samsung's models.
or N8. If you don't know how to utilize this module even 50 mpx won't make a difference.

41. WakaFlakaD posted on 09 May 2012, 10:05 1 0

Didn't they said the SG3 is suppose to be like a Galaxy S 2s?? just like iPhone 3GS/4S?

Samsung won't fall behind even if they decide to pull a move like Apple did. When you are leading in the market(strictly Android), does Samsung need to try that hard?

I am not saying the new one is not refined enough, its got some extra new features, like a iPhone 4S.

Let's save the 12MP for the real GS3 next year.

45. remixfa posted on 09 May 2012, 10:42 1 1

because MPx dont mean jack. Id rather just have the better hardware than a larger picture that takes up more space.

72. jackhammeR posted on 10 May 2012, 13:23 0 0

remixfa, Saying that its worse because it takes more space is just ridicolous.
16 gig of int. memory plus sd card (additional 16 or 32 gigs) and you worry about place for photos when at the same time average user carries on his device a few films, tons of music and games? Come on. You have pc and you can download content on it.
It all comes down to preferences. having a good camera and maps are a must for me.
Just for the record. N8 or 808 with belle are a truly decent smartphones.

I'd go along with that. MPx don't mean when manufacturer don't know how to use it properly.

20. fongy posted on 09 May 2012, 06:48 13 3

LOL

I love the fact that the handset design issue rages on!

There is no doubt that both the HTC X and Sony S initially look better than the GS3...

But what you have to remember is...

1) both of those don't have expandable storage / removable battery (the storage issue for an HD-centric device is CRIMINAL)

2) how many people will use ANY of these phones WITHOUT a cover? so really, as soon as you slap one of those on, they're all going to look pretty standard...

3) Sony S is dual core and looking a benchmarks - it's performing the worst out of all 2012 mobiles...

4) HTC One X's camera quality on all of their ranges have always been poor - this one is no exception (from reviews / hands-ons)

5) Did I mention lack of expandable storage on all other phones bar the GS3?

Sure the GS3 isn't the most inspired design, but but a funky flip case on it, or some of the nice mesh ones coming out, and it'll transform it...

And you'll be left with a great looking device with unequaled specs...

40. fwinst posted on 09 May 2012, 09:53 0 0

The Sprint version of the HTC One X will have expandable storage. However, it will not have a removable battery. Until battery/phone tech gets to a point where I can use my phone as I like, all day, without needing to charge my battery, removable batteries are a must for me.

46. remixfa posted on 09 May 2012, 10:43 0 0

Dont forget they are also having video issues with the oneX right now, so it takes very sub standard video.

they are about to hit the market so comparing them right now is obvious!

32. kshell1 posted on 09 May 2012, 08:15 2 0

Ever since the N8 released and pureview was announced people think they have to have a lot of megapixels, which doesn't make for a good camera, look at the Titan 2's 16mp pics and compare them to galaxy s2 or these galaxy s3 pictures which are far better.

64. jackhammeR posted on 09 May 2012, 17:22 0 0

you're wrong. mpx does count if you know how to use them properly. Nokia knows, HTC no. That's why N8 is so stellar and titan II is a huge gimmick and overhyped. Samsung makes quite good camera modules so in the next galaxy they will probably put sth bigger and better.

28. Oxygen posted on 09 May 2012, 07:53 1 2

How exactly? It was never meant to be a camera phone.
And now you are talking about the ONE X camera's average to poor performance? How ironic!

51. gallitoking posted on 09 May 2012, 11:37 0 1

so you agree that the camera on the SGSIII sucks just sayin
