Next Galaxy Phone Unveiling - May 3rd

[Dulanic]

Dont sell the Mali-400 short, its going to be clocked at 440 mhz. It got 92 fps in GL Egypt benchmark that has since been taken down. It will be faster GPU wise than anything on Android in 2012

Infact im more bothered that its still Cortex A9s. It cant compete with Krait

Not at all considering the SGSII uses it too and it's fast. I am just surprised they don't take the opportunity to raise the bar and upgrade it now. But they may be "hold back" a little for when iPhone 5 comes around and they push out a upgrade later in response.

Interesting update. Amazon.de has listed the phone for 599 euros, it has a 4,7 inch screen and a 12 megapixel camera. And the codename for it is I9500

The vietnamese phone had the codename I9300.

Its becoming more likely that the vietnamese phone is NOT the Galaxy S3 but Galaxy M. Either the S3 is going to use Exynos 5250 or they will put a MALI-T604 in there

Meh, CPUs are overrated as ideally they spend most of their time idling. I'd rather have a beefier GPU for gaming.

Countdown timer is up.

I don't get the point of quad core in mobile phone

Yeah I doubt Android and it's apps are well threaded enough to really take advantage of a quad core. Hell even on a Windows desktop machine there isn't that much benefit over a dual core.

Wonder how big the phone is.

Please don't make it bigger than 4.5 inches..!!

4.65" most likely. I am opposite of you as once I went with a 4.65" screen I am never going smaller.

If they can keep the bezel's to a minimum they can probably stuff a 4.65" screen in a sgs2 intl body, so screen size is irrelevant really... assuming they can pull it off.

 

[smartpatrol]

It'll probably have the same screen as the Galaxy Nexus.

Well that teaser was pretty lame. :\

 

[evident]

a teaser countdown for another teaser vid... pretty weak

Were those sheeps? Did they just insult their customers and potential customers?

 

[ilkhan]

OMG did that really end in standing out from a crowd of sheep?! Awesome.

 

[Puddle Jumper]

Lol, the ending of that was great.

I wonder if Samsung will try the "I'm a Mac" advertising approach against Apple.

 

[zerogear]

Yes, they're not insulting them, they're telling them to be different and stop being sheeple.

Good thing I have my GS2 and ruler right next to each other

*measures*

NOPE!

Unless they changed the aspect ratio of the screen there's no way

 

[NikolaeVarius]

We don't know if this is actually GS3 internals, but these benchmarks look promising

That's just it, the sgs2 has a 16:10 ratio just like the galaxy note(1280x800 rather than 1280x720), so going back to a normal 16:9 ratio screen you might be able to pull this off, the galaxy nexus is only 2mm wider than the sgs2.

Latest rumors.

We have a quad-core dual-core Exynos 4212 processor clocked at 1.4GHz, 1GB of RAM, a 4.7″ HD display (1280×720), 2MP front camera, 12MP rear camera, and Android 4.0.

Looks like we're getting an obscenely powerful dual core processor.

 

[Headcase_Fargone]

Dual core and it's not the 5250? Weird.

 

[smartpatrol]

Exynos 4212 is just a die-shrunk 4210 with higher clock speeds, right?

Should be, but theres no way in hell the flagship phone uses the 4212 SoC for this year.
I can see putting a 4212 in their Galaxy M (M? Equivilant to One S), but the flagship S is getting 4412 or 52xx.

I think its mislabeled, there's no way a dual core a9 would trump the quad core a9 tegra3.
