So whaddaya all think about the iPhone 5 and how do you think it'll compare to the SGS3?
/s Really psyched for the May 3rd event! Wish Samsung would have given a bit more to go on with the teaser videos, because I'm really getting anxious here.

Surprised more people aren't hoping for a premium sound chip. Too much want horsepower. And I think it is all but certain that gs3 will have a Mali 604 but which one? And I hope it is 32nm. It should be a power sipper unless Samsung borks power management.
bow chicka wow wow.
bow chicka wow wow.
says the man on the htc bandwagon...oh the irony of an idiot...lol.

Yep best ignore him.
The sgs3 will be android phone of the year and possibly better than the iPhone 5. No question about it.

This is why I still have a separate walkman and use it as my primary audio device. I've tried listening to the audio on my S2, and it still isn't that great as I would want it.
We should see something completely different to the past devices hopefully to avoid all this your phone looks like an iPhone debate. Whatever gets released it should be good Samsung have always been ahead of other Android competitors recently.
Maybe we will see their own OS as well on a device? As well as an Android device. Not bada but that tizien thing.

I bought a Sansa Clip Zip as well so that in the future one flaw like bad sound quality won't turn me away from an otherwise great phone. It's too bad really. Seems like only Apple cares about great sound quality from their phones.
Disclaimer: Not being an Apple fanboy here. Check out RMAA results for iPhone 4S vs Galaxy S2 and HTC One X and you will see what I'm talking about.
Most didnt know that smdk4x12 contains ref to wolfson but perhaps samsung might change it during production of the phone. Try gooling up wolfson and smdk4x12 and you will find it. I asked supercurio on it and he confirms it points to the version of it but that is the defaults of 4412.. We dont know either sammy changed or stick to defaults

I don't care all that much because I have dedicated gadgets for music. I can't stand touch when it comes to that since I want to be able to blindly operate it while it's in my pocket. Sure I don't mind a better chipset but performance codec support etc. is more important imo.
Also most people don't have high end heaphones, so they won't be able to notice a difference anyway.
No idea how the iphone sound quality is, never checked it. One think my walkman lacks is codec support, if the device could play flac, I would be golden. Plus the built in noise-cancellation is also a huge bonus especially on the train, or tram.
Not sure if it got mentioned before but there is an "Unpacked App" on Google Play

There is not much to see there right now but the design is pretty unique, maybe thats the direction they are heading in terms of UI with the new Galaxy phones..

well, it's not just about high end headphones. some of us output to receivers and such. cheap sound vs a TI or wolfson makes a big difference.
I have an Itouch 4.....Have not used it since the Captivate SGS II was not as good as the Captivate but stillon par with the Apple because of the settings one cam make with Vodoo Louder and PowerAmp. The Note is just as good as the SGS II. Goodt headphones make a difference as well. I use the Westone 3.
In the mean time the iTouch sits on an Alarm cradle and never gets used. Going to give it away like I did the iTouch before it. Don't need i anything since the SGS II
Maybe you don't notice the difference, but everyone I've asked can easily hear the difference between an iPod touch and the s2. It is even more apparent when I run audio into aux in my car. I have to keep an old iPod touch just for music so I'm hoping the S3 fixes it

Thanks.. I can watch the event live on my phone now. It also says galaxy s3.. first time seeing Samsung themselves call it that, I think there's no doubt now that the phone will be called s3 and not "the next Galaxy" lol

7I'm going to amend a post from earlier. Here's the contenders for the possible SOC in the Galaxy SIII (and compared to the Exynos 4210 in the Galaxy SII).
Exynos 4210
CPU: Dual-core Cortex A9 @ 1.2ghz
GPU: ARM Mali 400 MP4
Process: 45nm
Status: In shipping product
Exynos 4212
CPU: Dual-core Cortex A9 @ 1.5ghz
GPU: Unconfirmed, believed to be ARM Mali 400 MP4 clocked 50% higher than in the 4210
Process: 32nm
Status: Confirmed as sampling in October 2011, should be available for shipping product around April 2012
Exynos 4412
CPU: Quad-core Cortex A9 @ 1.5ghz
GPU: Unconfirmed, believed to be ARM Mali T-604
Process: 32nm
Status: Leaks show this as a possible Samsung SOC, but no official confirmation. Unknown if sampling and when general availability might be.
Exynos 5250
CPU: Dual-core Cortex A15 @ 2.0ghz
GPU: Unconfirmed, lead candidates are ARM Mali T-604 and PowerVR SGX544
Process: 32nm
Status: Confirmed as sampling as of November 2011, should be available for shipping product around May 2012
-----------------------------------------------------------
With that said, I just cannot fathom Samsung using the 4212 in the Galaxy SIII. That would mean their flagship model would have a speed boost over the SII and nothing more. So, the lead candidates should be the 4412 or the 5250. The 5250 is their 2012 flagship SOC, whereas the 4412 is just a rumor at this point. But, for ****s and giggles, let's compare their theoretical performance.
Exynos 4412:
Cores: 4
DMIPS per clock: 2.5
DMIPS per core: 3,750
DMIPS total: 15,000
Exynos 5250:
Cores: 2
DMIPS per clock: 3.5
DMIPS per core: 7,000
DMIPS total: 14,000
So, the quad-core would encode 4 or more streams slightly faster than the dual-core, but in actual real-world usage, the dual-core would stomp the quad. This is because no program is 100% efficient as multi-threading. With each core you get diminishing returns. Each core in the 5250 is significantly faster than each core in the rumored 4412. Trust me, if you had to choose, you WANT the 5250.
It could be either SOC, but the hopeful side of me is saying the Exynos 5250 is the chip in the Galaxy SIII. OMAP5 will be out in the second half of 2012 and uses the same technology as the Exynos 5250. So, if the Galaxy SIII gets the 4412 instead, it will be the first time the Galaxy S series has been outclassed by another shipping product in the same calendar year.5
Looks like there will be 3 devices: I9300 I9500 I9800
Benchmarks: I9300
