Samsung Galaxy S III allegedly confirmed for April launch

Now we wait to see if the carriers and Samsung have figured it out to have a WORLDWIDE launch in April as opposed to everywhere but USA in April and USA in freaking October.

That and the US versions will be horribly dumbed down and full of bloatware

It looks good.
Hope it won't have the reception/connection issues like the Galaxy Nexus does.

Also hope the battery can last all day long and be removable.

What reception/connection issues??? You must be confusing the Gnex with the iPhone 4.

Well face it, the US are not the center of the world anymore

Sammy boy, I just got my Note barely two months ago, and you think you have what it takes to lure me into buying this!?

Dammit it, with a 1080p quad (and fingers crossed - smaller bezel), you'd have me... again!

ceramic is very strong. they make armor out of the stuff. :) It will definitely be interesting compared to the plastics n tins of the phone world.

GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE!!

even armor has chinks.
the strength of a material is dependent on the type of load particularly the angle of incidence.
what are the compressive, tensile, torsional and shear strength values?
why is ceramic normally considered brittle?
what happens to a ceramic-backed phone when it is impacted along its edge?

Probably just sprayed onto high quality plastic or aluminium. It's not gonna be ceramic per se.

All those features are nice and all, but if it won't get me through a whole day's worth of usage, forget it

if samsung shrinks the bezels like on the pic above it should not be much bigger than a 4.3 inch screen phone

I certainly hope so! If they skip the GS3 for "something better", I think I might have to jump ship. And if they get it, they better not dumb it down like they did the Fascinate!

I'm with you whateverman my five lines of service are up in july I'll jump ship also, getting tired of Verizon with there line of phones i want a samsung galaxy note or journal i want a GS3 damn i'll even take a samsung skyrocket come on verizon no more DROIDS 5.....6......7 fml

Im with you there man. Not all of these Droid branded phones are what they are cut out to be. AT&T already got the htc one x exclusively... What a disappointment it would be if they got this too.

39. remixfa posted on 02 Mar 2012, 14:13 0 1

Did not. They got.the "XL" which is the crap dragon version
Supposedly T-Mobile is getting the international quad core version as well as the 1s.

I would really like you to explain to me what is the difference between a-9 and a-15 because I see you have something against a-9. And explain it to me in professionally pls so you convince me that you know what you are talking about and not just bashing a-9 because you heard somewhere that a-15 is better than a-9

33. the_s2 posted on 02 Mar 2012, 12:42 1 0

Cortex a15 is 40% faster than the Cortex a9 at the same clock speed and number of cores. Manufactured on 32/28 nm process vs 45nm process for the a9. This will clear your doubts.http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_kgPlsczhZg

I know the answer but it just seemed to me that he said it just because he heard it somewhere and doesn't know s**t about it that's why i asked HIM

btw tegra uses 2 cores when browsing so hat is not some comparison but it does show that a-15 is faster than a-9, generaly a-15 is better than a-9 because of number of things not just power

just one more thing, no matter how good a-15 is, dual core a-15 just cant be better than quad a-9 in some aspects, like gaming, heavy multitasking, etc but i will wait till the Q3 when hopefully there will be a-15 quads to get new phone...

apple fans salivated over ip5 rumours that turned out not to be true...let samsung fans do the same,agree 1080p as much i would like,not going to happen but i do think we will 720p amoled plus screen and thats all i want a long with either the 32nm dual/quad core..i think when rumours say bezelless,i think they mean the side bezels,there will always be bezel on the top and bottom for mic,camera etc

I'm with you on the nexus. Love the hell out of it, but if Verizon gets this ON TIME this Galaxy Nexus has got to go. Quad core exynos? 1080p Super Amoled? You had me at Galaxy lol.

well that wasnt true for the SGS2 soo it should not be for the 3

42. jaytai0106 posted on 02 Mar 2012, 15:09 0 0

I hope not... I hate a lot of phones have a little brother with something slight better feature. Well, I guess the SGS2 on AT&T did have the skyrocket pretty shortly after.

Samsung has a joint venture with Corning, the company that makes it. It will definitely have good glass, whether it be the Gorilla glass 2 or something better and not named/sold to competitors.
