Galaxy S III Released!

b-eock · May 4, 2012

So the Galaxy S III has been unveiled.

My PRO's= Screen Resolution, processor, GPU, RAM, memory.

My CON's= Screen type (SAMOLED -_-)

I can't really think of anything else. Comment on your pro's and con's if you would like!

Pros
1. Its Samsung
2. The screen. Any HD screen is better than our cappys lol and I like black being black
3. MicroSD and Removable battery
4. Multitasking = WOW
5. Embrace of NFC

Cons
1. $$$$$ for international version

Oh and if you guys are going to purchase this beast, what color would you choose:

Marble** white or pebble blue?

And if you're going for a case or leave it as is?

Yeah. Its amazing. I can't believe the mass amounts of people that say its ugly, garbage, the same.
Granted that 2GHz quad core A-15 would've been worth waiting long but its nice.
HD SAmoled.
Up to 64GB plus up to 64GB card. 2100MAH battery
So well integrated and intuitive.
I hope to obtain one in the near future.

Guys, I read some comments on another site that US/Canadian would have a lower CPU to accommodate LTE? I didn't understand that, could someone clarify

Red_81 · May 4, 2012

I didn't use my upgrade on the SII so I'll be planning on picking this one up in the Pebble Blue. I just can't do white devices. Maybe it reminds me of my childhood with all the Beige/White systems.

Performance seems to be pretty good, a good setup from my Captivate so I am all for that.
So while I would have loved a A15 quad or even better GPU, well, we always want more so I think I will be happy with it. It does not seem as the Nvidia thing is catching up so I hope the whole Tegra exclusive crap is over otherwise, having a super GPU when the games are getting better features only for Tegra wont help me much.
Not sure why someone cannot be happy with the screen. Black is black and everything is punchy. I have a HD projector calibrated so I can be picky but I love Samsung screens.
Now the Q is..how long before stupid ATT brings it here.

USA releases are slotted for June. More info, as always, pending carrier announcements. Those will probably come when their world tour stops off in NYC, from what I'd guess.

man I am way behind

How can one hate that curved metal finish on the side. It's very sexy.

The whole camera-design thing: who actually looks at their camera lens on a daily basis? Its always behind the phone where you'll rarely ever see it. People these days...

Seriously when I read people cons...being about looks I feel the same way...come on now.

Definitely looking forward to upgrade.

There's been speculation that to accommodate LTE in the North American release, they might go with an S4 instead of the Exynos, which is also an excellent processor (though I would have liked to experience the Exynos).

Still, it's almost time to upgrade for me. It'll be nice to experience LTE.

I'm totally in love with this beast. Its hardware and features are awesome.
As soon as I could get one, my beloved Cappy could then take a step back and be my backup

NightHawk877 · May 5, 2012

My Captivate has served me well. It has never failed me. Hate to retire it, but I want the GS3.

I agree. Never had a phone that lasted this long without me wanting to upgrade..and the way new Roms and OCing kept extending its life its pretty awesome.

Planswalker89 · May 5, 2012

Was anxiously awaiting this thing since even though my cappy is beyond amazing, it's begun to feel its age a bit and I'm totally looking forward to a new phone.

I am totally not disappointed and can't wait to finally get my upgrade when it comes out.

The screen is awesome, and since I never got to see super amoled + I can't say I'm going to miss it. I just hope the GS3 is anywhere near as good to me as my cappy has been - although I'm going to miss the build of this phone cause it was awesome.

TheSoaresan · May 5, 2012

I love the specs...but I'm a tad disappointed by its aesthetics... I mean it looks like a cheaper quality phone with all that plastic...on the other hand HTC one x looks like sex

falacer · May 6, 2012

Same here didn't use my upgrade yet but will wait to see what the US versions specs are. Might be changing from AT&T to Sprint soon as wife contract is up.

JBM12G · May 6, 2012

I was really disappointed with the Galaxy S3. I will most likely be upgrading to the HTC One X. In almost every situation the One X beats or is a tie with the S3.

Screen: Most reviews say that the One X has a better screen then the Galaxy Nexus, so I believe that with the S3 having essentially the same screen as the nexus the One X's will be better.

Processor/SOC: The S3 will likely have an S4 in Canada so in that case it is a tie. If the S3 does have the quad core in Canada it will probably not be that noticeable of a difference.

Software: Both will likely have great Rom development, but in a worst case scenario, I can live with Sense 4.0, I cannot live with that hideous touchwiz.

Hardware: (IMO) The One X is gorgeous. The S3 is meh. Also, the S3 has a menu button, what were you thinking Samsung! I don't care about a removable battery or sd card slot.

Camera: I'm guessing it will be about the same (Don't care much about camera).
