Oh, 1080p, how nice.

The only problem I see is most sites are fixed-width at 1024 pixels, so Tom's Hardware will take up half of the 1080p screen, or it'll have to be zoomed in to fit width by default.

I hope it's Pentaband. nothing is worse than an awesome phone on a shit provider.

I applaud your use of the word "fortnight," Jane.

It's also been rumoured to be 720p

When I saw that title it got my hopes up for a slider version. I guess I'll keep dreaming.

Lets just hope that non of the releases have the crappy retina display Samsung manufactures for Apple.

BGR is ALWAYS wrong with rumors. They constantly pull shit out of their asses.

They will probably go with HD Super AMOLED that they introduced with the Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Note. Maybe a little upgrade and call it 2nd gen HD Super AMOLED or something.

In my dream world Sammy would introduce the GSIII with multiple form factors all with the same hardware specs except screen size and resolution. 4.7",4.0",3.5" and 3.5" with keyboard.

If the they synched the tablet releases and specs that would be even better but that would mess with release dates too much. Then we could get Galaxy Tab 10",8",7"; Galaxy Note 5"; GalaxyS 4.7",4.0",3.5" and 3.5" with keyboard all with the same design theme and cpu. That would really build anticipation and encourage developer support.

 

[killerclick]

How big would the 3.5" with keyboard be? Like a regular 3.5" phone with half the screen or a 3.5" screen + a keyboard?

Also, keyboards are sooo 20th century, as is SMS. In Europe we got bored with SMS like in 2001, I understand the US got it relatively recently.

I hope they're giving up the plastic casing for something a little more upscale...aluminum comes to mind. ...would mind paying a little more for it. ...we're I in the market for a new phone/gadget.

..and what is wrong with that display besides that Apple uses it? Something objective please.

What a dilemma, I don't know if I should get a S II right now, or wait a couple of months for the S III. I'm afraid it won't come to my country any time soon, though, and even if it does, the price will surely be over-inflated...

This phone has been so hyped, good luck to samsung impressing everyone. If it isn't earth shattering awesome they should have at least put out some of the specs early before all the rumors set this phone up to disappoint.
I hope its awesome

@ TeKEffect
I have a feeling that it will have at least two features that set it apart from the current industry and feel the above claims sound very reasonable. While I think their source is either wrong or misquoted cnet says it will be a minor update. Cnet seems to be pumping Apple propaganda really heavily these days so I would not trust them.

If only this will become available on Verizon...
