Hmm.. The S3 is out… now what?

After the release of the S3, a lot of speculation was laid to rest. But what next? Does it actually live up to the hype it created?

Decide for yourself.

Go through these -

S3 - The first look and…review

S3 – The revisit review – hmm… feels a bit better now?

Vs.

The HTC X vs The S3 – Beast Vs. Beast (or as the page says AVP!)

In the end, its what you want as your next phone. Like everything else in life, its what you want from it.

Only that matters.

:Drumroll: Here it comes…

Stand out from the sheep, you non-wannabe-sheep!

Samsung Unpacked 2012, May 3 2012, London

Now, let’s see if the wait was ACTUALLY worth it, yeah, actually.

So Near, yet so far (unknown)….

Yes, the day is near now. On May 3 we stand for the next GREAT Galaxy handset.

The mighty S3.

Here for the wired overview.

Official announcement here (BLOG) and here (twitter)

HERE for GSMArena take.

Now bow to your latest Galaxy overlord.

On your knees.

Why am I waiting for the Galaxy S3?

 

Being seen with my dated but faithful (and fully exploited ;-) ) N70, I have been hammered with constant ridicule and sympathetic glances.

And being an android fan since long, I often had a techno-urge, countless times last year, to jump on the Galaxy S2 bandwagon. But I had been restraining myself after hearing about what the coming future (read S3) would be bringing as the latest technology (under-the-hood).

Going with the specifications and speculations around the web, it appears that S3 is going to be big; perhaps one of the all time best Android smartphones that could see the light of the day.

Some [constantly updated and ground-breaking] specifications include -

• 4.7 / 4.8-inch full HD 1080P resolution with 16:9 aspect ratio. [DISPUTED with 720P]
• 1.5GHz quad-core Samsung Exynos processor. [all in consensus]
• Front facing 2 MP camera for video calling and an 12 or 8 MP rear camera. [news WRT 12 MP is more rampant]
• Hosts Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. [Ok]
• Ceramic case with [probably] inductive charging support [and that too out of the box!]

So, this son of a beast is expected in mid 2012 [some say early May] and in time for the iPhone / Android show-down too.

Lets hope, my decision to wait for something better than an S2, actually turns out right.

This could very well be technological history in creation. Lets see.

And seriously, now is the worst time ever to buy an android phone!

The coming year for Smartphones!

Well, if anyone has has its share of technology explosion this (going) year, its the micro-processor! And the best usage of the same is when it is available in a small package. I am referring to the latest and greatest mobile phones a.k.a the smartphones.

Leading the pack this year has been the Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II with the Samsung's very own Exynos Dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A9 implementation.

Although Apple has been trying to keep up with the Android popularity and O.S. feature versatility, (which, quite frankly is a two edged sword in the Android arena), the scales are now slowly tilting in the favor of the open-source.

The next year promises the processor war to upscale to quad-core levels (although different views exist).

The expectation is from something called as Galaxy S3 (which is a 'Samsung' no-brainer as it comes after 2, right? :-))

The S3 promises the world, and more. For a sneak preview and a look @ the expected configuration (best taken with a grain spoonful of salt) , refer here for the expected specs and here for beefier details.

Quad-gimmick or not, I hope the wait should be worth it (if you can survive without the S2 till the S3 is here, i.e.)
If you already have an S2, fear not, here is something which will advice on what to do with it, once you have your S3! Uhh! Will there never be an end to this 'bought today/obsolete tomorrow' lunacy?

I hope not ;-)
