all of the specs he mentioned are the most obvious ones.. he is just making it up..

A true powerhouse. Sigh... here's to hoping and praying VZW picks it up this time around. On another note it will always be a darn shame Nokia went the WP7 only route.

Wow if that is true then this spring should be sweet. The Samsung Galaxy S III so far looks to be one hell of a smart phone, or should I say the world's smartest phone. lol It’s going to be simply amazing. The tech is moving at lightning speed. Imagine what will be around in 2 short years from now.

ive followed eldar for quite a while...he always speaks true about Samsung. remember his early 2011 tweets about Samsung Galaxy S2. all were true. he also said he had early sample of GS2 and has tested it before it made way to barcelona. his tweet about GS2 overclocked to 1.2ghz was also true.

if i were to guess what samsung whould put out in the nex version it would be the best tech that can be put into a phone and these specs are about what would be what i would exspect. The only thing is tegra 3 is the only known 4 core processore and i would exspect that samsung would use there own chip for this as well as i would hope cause they have proven to be the best amd fastest chips in the duel core market. The rumer i know of though is samsung is putting out better duel core chips that they clame can compete with the early 4 core chips. Either way i hope they iuse other materal than plastic for a change.

Seems odd, they have better dual core chips that outcompete early quad 4 chips. Yet, they have yet to figure out how to make a dual core Exynos work on "true" LTE. I prayed the would get it together for stateside (non gsm) carriers. Instead, they shelved it & threw in the inferior chips in SGSII variants. I loved the Exynos performance but I lost some respect b/c of the hype Sammy built up for it.

Too bad in the US we wont see it until 2013.

+1^
As a Big Red subscriber, I'll feel blessed if they release it before 12/31/12. Knowing full well that would be miraculous.

maybe we get it by Nov or DEC this year. hopefully
13. remixfa posted on 24 Jan 2012, 08:00 6
give it to me baby.. uh huh.. uh huh! :)
now it just needs to hit the US by summer.. NOT CHRISTMAS :)
I dont know why the quad core part would be unbelievable. The T3 has been out for like 2 months already. To assume that Samsung wouldnt have an answer ready within 7 months is unbelievable. Hopefully they have upped their production so we see the quad exynos in multiple phone lines this time.
POWER.. UUUNLIMITED POOOWER! :)
17. PimpStrong posted on 24 Jan 2012, 08:11 5
Hopefully Quad Exynos will support HSPA+ 42-84-168!!
25. remixfa posted on 24 Jan 2012, 08:31 7
id be surprised if they didnt make it compatible with every radio combination this time to stave off the BS that was the hercules/skyrocket incident.
49. jove39 posted on 24 Jan 2012, 11:06 0
T3 is A9 based...but hopefully Exynos chip will be A15 based...way better...I am dreaming!

I just hope the GSIII is available for sale in the U.S. quicker than the GSII was.
Great phone (Thumbup).
15. protozeloz posted on 24 Jan 2012, 08:04 3
:o hope they use a better quality cam this is the year of the phone cam
21. biophone posted on 24 Jan 2012, 08:25 3
This is the year of quad core screw the phone cam.
:)
45. sumdude posted on 24 Jan 2012, 10:40 1
In the US markets, it's the year of the cam. Dual core chips.aren't even being utilized to full effect until ICS is released to the masses. Right now the duals are just handling overflow, not optimized performance duties. All early quads I've seen aren't exactly blowing dual benchmarks out of the water, yet.
They'll be nice options but as it stands now, it's just.overkill in many ways.
54. remixfa posted on 24 Jan 2012, 11:44 1
uh no.. its not over kill
dual core optimization is automatic quad core optimization. no quad core has been announced without ics in tow. and even if you never use the "full power" of a quad core (your loss :) ), quad cores give better battery life than dual cores.. and most definitely more than single cores.
60. sumdude posted on 24 Jan 2012, 12:19 0
Your jumping the gun a bit, forget quads exist for a sec. My point is that no one who isn't running vanilla ICS, in one form or another, has not experienced the full potential of dual core chipsets. People who have duals, running GB, think there phone is already much smoother & quicker than previous phones they've used. Dual core processing is not native in GB. So it goes w/out saying, they will only be happier when they discover the multitasking improvements that come w/ ICS. Especially, when a phone has dual chips clocked to 1.2ghz & up. A relatively stable S3, oc'd to 1.8 is unapologetically fast. Quad cores have yet to be finely optomized for use. When they do, w/ stable processing, it has potential to blow peoples minds.
71. remixfa posted on 24 Jan 2012, 20:12 0
actually they have. that was my first sentence
its called "dual core optimized" by laymens. its technically "multi core optimized". once it can thread 2, it can thread 4 and all the rest as well.

Anybody wanna buy my Galaxy S II? I need about fo-hunid.
20. theBankRobber posted on 24 Jan 2012, 08:25 4
After quad core, WHATS NEXT? They really can't go any higher then quad core can they or most important, do they REALLY need to go any higher then quad core. After quad core, they should just focus on how to maximize the phone to its full power with software and features and not just hardware. Since I got my Photon 4g in October, my next upgrade isn't to June of 2013, gets me wondering what will be out then. LoL
23. kshell1 posted on 24 Jan 2012, 08:30 2
well considering computers have hexa core and octa core processors im guessing thats next
56. remixfa posted on 24 Jan 2012, 11:45 2
just because u cant imagine a need for quad cores or more, doesnt mean there wont ever be one.
26. GALAXY-S posted on 24 Jan 2012, 09:21 2
the HD resolution screen and android 4 are what im mainly interested in.. Didnt mention how much RAM !!!
29. kshell1 posted on 24 Jan 2012, 09:28 1
that would be great. screw advanced task killer i dont need to close out any apps xD
44. remixfa posted on 24 Jan 2012, 10:39 2
lol. ICS completely negates the need for ATK.. for real this time. but yea, ill take the extra ram anyways.. makes for better games n apps. :)
63. Muhannad posted on 24 Jan 2012, 13:52 1
I'm actually surprised that there wasn't anything mentioned about 2Ghz processors, I still remember back in early 2011 that Samsung promised 2Ghz phones by 2012.
30. ReturningToNokia posted on 24 Jan 2012, 09:29 4
It's exciting to see excitement for this device! Microsoft will be especially pleased :)
31. JSern posted on 24 Jan 2012, 09:38 6
Please, with all those specs, I'm sure it will STILL lags.
61. sumdude posted on 24 Jan 2012, 12:28 2
Yes, but it will only be noticed if the phones owners brain lags, as well.
70. JSern posted on 24 Jan 2012, 19:32 1
Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know Fanboys are so touchy. Get the facts right, I'm a ex owner of SG2.
73. sumdude posted on 25 Jan 2012, 01:25 0
Speaking of getting facts straight. Fanboy? WTF? LMFAO. I don't give a rats arse about any particular phone or manufacturer.
Speaking of touchy, unless you time traveled into the future and bought the SG3 and then returned to the present and commented on lag. I wasn't adressing you, I said anyone. So don't take it personally. There may be a lagging moment or two on the SG3. What some consider lag is just OS stutter, that will still occur on a few more.Galaxy releases, due to memory and processing. Even when Octo. cores arrive. There will still be idiots who will still insist on devices lag, cuz they're to asinine to know better.
P.S. I've owned an Omnia II and a Galaxy Nexus for 2 weeks, before returning it. What is your point about a past Sammy phone you owned?
I guess if it's a contest, my 2 trump your 1.
34. cncrim posted on 24 Jan 2012, 09:53 2
very rare occasion almost zero lag, S2 is doing very good since it has 1gb ram. I say S3 wont have that problem 2gb ram.
69. JSern posted on 24 Jan 2012, 19:29 1
I'm a SG2 Onwer, and traded in to WP, NEVER going back.
Never lags? Screw you it even lags when I close every app, and it sometimes SHUT DOWN itself!
33. cncrim posted on 24 Jan 2012, 09:49 1
Hope the camera is physical lense improvement like bigger lense more light come in, not lazy software 12M pixel ...... that's will sh*t out the pix quatity.
35. MotorolaandSamsungFTW posted on 24 Jan 2012, 10:10 2
soon these high ends phone will overpower computer technologies, what's next? hexacore like a freakin' amd phenom ii x6? dang phones these day are crazy!
36. cncrim posted on 24 Jan 2012, 10:22 1
"overpower computer " NO WAY.
phone only replace mobilelity, but when come down to real task PC still and will remain power house. PC is like trucks in our economy, real stuff will need real tool.
39. MotorolaandSamsungFTW posted on 24 Jan 2012, 10:27 2
lol duh, soon all i need is a freakin phone, add a wireless keyboard, a mouse and tada, a multitasking mini laptop with call function:P
46. ngo2dd posted on 24 Jan 2012, 10:49 3
Not even close. Just because a phone have quad core does not mean that it is anything close to a computer. An intel core duo 2 is still faster then the newest quad tablet or cell phone. The core i series is many time faster then anything a cell phone has.
57. remixfa posted on 24 Jan 2012, 11:47 1
that comment came from a complete lack of understanding in technology.
might as well say a pinto can go toe to toe with an S-2000 because they are both 4 cylinder cars.
40. Jericho posted on 24 Jan 2012, 10:27 1
Quad core can't beat windowsphone.
Why don't you guys get it its not about the processor.
For example its the big show(android/quad core) vs the rock(windows phone) yeah i know the big show is bigger(processor) but can he beat the rock's strategic game plan/mind(software).
Not easily.
50. snowgator posted on 24 Jan 2012, 11:07 2
Made me giggle, Jericho... But I am not sure a wrestling analogy was the best way to go on that argument.
Besides, this is great news for Galaxy Series fans. Let them have the post.

Given Microsofts track record w/ security exploits. I could care less if it beats any phone on the planet. They push products, w/ security being an afterthought. I'll stick w/ a "slow"(LOL) Android running trusted dev. roms, so I can control who and what effs up my phone.
