Samsung Galaxy S III coming soon: 4.65-inch Super AMOLED Plus HD RGB screen, quad-core, LTE?
The Samsung Galaxy S III is occasionally making the headlines with either a rumor or a mockup pumping up our expectations before the official release, and this here rumor is no exception to that rule. Korean DDaily now reports that the upcoming Galaxy S III will feature a 4.65-inch Super AMOLED Plus screen with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. Moreover, this will be the first non-pentile HD AMOLED screen made by Samsung and this alone is a hugely impressive feat.

Devices like the Samsung Galaxy Nexus also had a 4.65-inch HD display, but there Samsung went with the sub-par pentile technology where instead of the traditional arrangement of red-green-blue pixels (RGB), you get less subpixels and generally a fuzzier image. 

The HTC One X most recently raised the bar very high with its 4.7-inch Super LCD 2 HD screen, which left us impressed but this here S III screen could easily beat it.

The best news however is that the Samsung Galaxy S III should be coming sooner rather than later. AsiaE has learned that Samsung is already testing the device with Korean carriers, and wants it done quicker than usual - in only two months. Allegedly, the carriers will have a hard time fitting into this schedule as the upcoming Android flagship will have a quad-core processor and LTE. But we’d rather wait for those feature, wouldn’t we?

Hmmmm, I'm a MOTO man, but I'll take a look, the GS II did impress me (although I prefer the RAZR)

Same here. Maybe the Fighter or Blade will have next-gen specs as well so we don't have to jump ship over to Samsung.

If the S3 looks like one of the better renders then we are in for a treat. I'm just hoping its not a let down because all of these specs seem too good to be true. Even after reading them 500 times on 500 different websites

You are obviously biased. I have the razr maxx by the way but comparing the gs2 vs the razr? the gs2 came out about a year ago. come on man, make a real comparison. the gs2 doesn't lag as far as i can tell. the maxx lags a bunch of times but the slim form factor and long batter life and amoled kills the gs2 but again not fair comparison

2012 will be a stellar year for android users.

This thing is going to be INSANE! As a Wp7 fan, I know a good phone when I see one (from specs). Love to get my hands on this

9. baaam posted on 04 Apr 2012, 05:50

2012 monster phone!! FTW!!

11. jaytai0106 posted on 04 Apr 2012, 06:35 14

PLEASE PUT A GIANT BATTERY IN THIS PHONE!!!

12. Zayuh24 posted on 04 Apr 2012, 06:40 2 3

I'm stuck between this and the HTC One X (or the One S if the X really doesn't come to T-Mobile).

Sammy has always been reliable in making quality devices and the S II got so much love globally.... imagine what a beast the S III is going to turn out to be. But I love how HTC is redeeming itself with the One series, and the audio boosts from DreBeats technology make my ears happy lol.

Decisions, decisions...

18. Chronos posted on 04 Apr 2012, 07:01 7 1

Beats Audio is a gimmick. Wait for the S III.

19. Zayuh24 posted on 04 Apr 2012, 07:04 3

I don't mind waiting, but we're in for quite a wait here in the US. New phone releases are months later than their international versions because US carriers want to add their crap to the devices and make hardware changes.

Victor, your "should easily beat" implication is ignorant.
Super amoled plus is overall inferior to AH-IPS technology (the screen on HTC One x, just with different name)
Here, from your very own site:

http://www.phonearena.com/news/LGs-4.5-inch-high-res-AH-IPS-display-beats-Super-AMOLED-Plus-in-color-accuracy_id21483

You guys have built up a myth about amoled screens being something uber, and untouchable.
While in reality, the Galaxy S3 will likely have a less great screen than some other phones out there.

26. andro. posted on 04 Apr 2012, 08:11 2 1

We will have to wait an see,having used both the Htc one x screen is definitely better than say the galaxy nexus screen by a noticeable bit but Samsung have a knack of producing incredible screens to put on its own flagships

14. babyk posted on 04 Apr 2012, 06:48 12

HTC WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER THAN THIS SAMSUNG s**t FTW

15. ajac09 posted on 04 Apr 2012, 06:50 8 1

umm okay... sadly the population doesnt agree with you.

25. im.awesome888 posted on 04 Apr 2012, 07:59

Sorry death grip

30. twenti7 posted on 04 Apr 2012, 10:08 1

Meh. I switched to Samsung from HTC. Sadly, not even the One X has made me consider looking back. I very much prefer a slim and lightweight, but still powerful phone over one that is fat and boring.

Babyk shut up!

16. babyk posted on 04 Apr 2012, 06:52 2

You guys only concern about specs thats the point

38. TROLL.ISAHA (banned) posted on 04 Apr 2012, 13:46

Android u need that!
Or else it's it lag's..... Cause ur

20. hung2900 posted on 04 Apr 2012, 07:12

Another fail from phonearena.
Sammy has had 7.7 inch SA+ with RGB matrix already (Tab 7.7).

22. theindianguy posted on 04 Apr 2012, 07:32

now those can be called legitimate specs.

24. PackMan posted on 04 Apr 2012, 07:41 1

rumours are saying 720p and quad core exynos A9 but if samsung surprises us with 1080p and dual core exynos A15 the phones going to be huge success.

29. optimo_prime posted on 04 Apr 2012, 09:06

Does anyone have a clue who all is going to carry this phone I am on Verizon and would love this phone since it seems we don't get the HTC One series

31. taz89 posted on 04 Apr 2012, 12:47

amoled hd +,quad core exynos,its samsung so will be slim,if the s2 cameras anything to go by the s3 will be even better...lol i want this phone now i am actually starting to see pixels on my s2 from close view obviously now that i have seen hd screens in person such as the xperia s....hopefully its released in the same time frame as the s2 so may please.

36. TROLL.ISAHA (banned) posted on 04 Apr 2012, 13:39

But 4.7 is kinda big....

39. Walter.D.DROID posted on 04 Apr 2012, 14:45

If they delay the release date, the fact being the quad-core and LTE, I would rather wait! 4.8-inch screen is no good??? both galaxy nexus and Galaxy S II HD LTE have that screen :@

40. Walter.D.DROID posted on 04 Apr 2012, 15:35

oh i forgot to mention, but a...3400mah battery for the SGS III, thickness can suffer instead :-P

41. gallitoking posted on 04 Apr 2012, 16:23 1
