Intelligent thoughts on rumors re: SGS3

RootzWiki has an article up about the SGS3 (http://rootzwiki.com/news/_/articles/leaks/will-the-next-galaxy-be-the-galaxy-siis-r647) that says that the SGS3 is rumored to have "[front cam] eye tracking [that will will automatically lock the screen when you look away from it] and phosphorescent green pixels (which would apparently appear white to the eye) to save battery consumption"...

Anybody care to chime in on this or flame the crap out of me for posting about a Samsung device on an HTC sub-forum?

eye tracking would be annoying.

not impossible, after all it would be "just" a specialized kinect - but probably it would cost more energy to keep all that computing power permanently up than just autodimming the screen...

It's probably still going to be made out of the cheapest, tackiest plastic around and feel like a kids toy.

well to be honest i have heard and read lots of rumors about the SIII ranging from a battery that lasts for days, moving to a flexible Super AMOLED screen and up to an ultra-thin mobile that bears ANY scratch and more...

Ah well Samsung decided that they will announce the “next Galaxy smartphone" (which is supposed to be the SGS III) on May 3rd and by then we'll know for sure what are the specs of the new mobile ^^

FOr me personally, it's irrelevent. Whats the point of talking about a phone that I won't see available for another 6-7 months.....Hell even talking about the EVO 4G LTE seems dumb since its not getting sold till June. Way too much time inbetween to even think about it.

It's being announced in 2 weeks. It'll be out in 2 months.

Yes but you can buy the gsm model and use it on a US gsm network in two months.

It's been confirmed that they are doing an international launch. Everyone is getting it at the same time. Just up to the carriers from there.

Also to another guy on the first page, its going to have a ceramic/possibly metal body, not the typical Samsung plastic.

Yea I know, everyone except the US is getting it at the same time. If its coming to sprint, you can bet you WILL NOT be getting it until Sept-Oct timeframe. Go back and check the time lag on the last 3-4 samsung phones on sprint. All at least 6 months, and some up to 8.

personally I'm hoping it's not to big so hopefully if they go for a bigger screen they can do it with an edge to edge screen as what's the use of a phone that can't fit in my pocket
as for when it's released locally, if you can't wait buy an international phone and put a sim card in it

Oh well, so much for all the "HYPE". I guess the rumored small upgrade from the SGS2 was true. Even using the same GPU, just clocked a little bit faster.

The eye tracking seems kinda silly for locking reasons. Why would I want my phone to lock every time I look away from it? Now, eye and head tracking for the purpose of viewing 3D objects from different angles would be cool.

This needs to be out of the evo3D thread...

You're silly. Did you watch the video? It shows the Mali 400 GPU.
