Samsung Galaxy S3

[insomniac]

so my dad was telling me that the sgs3 is rumored to be coming in hk in a month or so? he also said that there will be a 3d version too. anyone have links to confirm?

[!MiKrofT]

Rumoured. But last rumour was that they haven't perfected the screen for the SGS3 yet so who knows.

Am I the only one that things 3D is useless on a phone? lol.

[Gh0stRider]

3D aint new, and aint gonna be a game changer.

HTC Evo 3D and the LG Optimus 3D are the current 3D phones

[insomniac]

LOL I personally am not a fan of 3d. The nds 3d gave me a headache and made me dizzy when I played with it at best buy

ya, same here. i played the demo at metro and i got dizzy afterwards.

[MarkyMark]

Yeah I hope they don't fuck around with 3D on their flagship phone, save that for something else.

This phone should be baller though, I think the rumors are saying it will be announced end of February in Barcelona

3d is worthless, unless you want to get dizzy.

[Kamui712]

i tried the lg optimus 3d, got a headache after 2 minutes... that ended any interest I might've had in 3d phones.

[rJZx]

I got the evo 3d
I never use the 3d capabilities but it is a pretty good phone nevertheless.

3D is a feature...You don't HAVE to use it...Why would someone not want to have an extra feature on their phone, whether they use it or not. Unless of course it affects the battery life or performance of the phone.

I'm not a fan of 3D TVs, I think it's waste, but there's no doubt that most of the 3D TVs in the market (with 3D mode off), have a more realistic, clearer picture than a non-3D TV.

so a function you probably will never use is still a selling point for you?

regards to your second statement..i doubt it. a brand new hdtv on the market will look just as good as 3d hdtv with 3d disabled.

"3D is a feature...You don't HAVE to use it...Why would someone not want to have an extra feature on their phone, whether they use it or not. Unless of course it affects the battery life or performance of the phone."

Read it for what it is and don't take it out of context...I never even mentioned "selling point" in my post. It's a FEATURE...if I had it in my phone, it would be a plus, whether or not I use it.

I don't NEED rear heated seats in my car but I still am glad that my car has them...Doesn't mean it was a selling point for me when I bought it, it's an additional feature at no extra cost.

Within the same price point...a 3D tv without 3D feature looks better than a non-3D TV, the 3D TV's have a better picture quality. A 3D TV needs to be brighter than the average TV because when you use the 3D glasses, the image becomes darker. So, those TVs make up for the light variation by making their TVs brighter than normal.

Also, obviously if you have a 3D tv, your image processor is going to be more powerful. The image processor doesn't just turn off when you turn 3D feature off. It's still there and it's still actively working to make a cleaner picture.

You are also processing more images with a 3D TV so the LCD response time needs to be superior to a normal LCD tv.

Yes, it's an extra feature, but it's something I would never use. So... why pay for it? No, it may not cost any more than a non-3D phone, but I'd rather buy something that costs the same but instead put that money from the 3D aspect into something else (ie: slightly more powerful antenna, longer lasting battery, better material for the casing, etc).

Ideally, yes so would I...But let's be realistic about it. Are you implying that you actually know what costs are going into what feature in your phone?

We both agree that at an extra cost, we would not want 3D. But to imply that having 3D on our phone will take away or hinder another feature or benefit is somewhat far fetched. The Galaxy Nexus doesn't have a memory card slot, is that because they decided to put that money towards NFC technology instead? We don't know...To say that not having a useless feature in our phone will make another feature better is too far fetched.

If, you're saying that you would just chose another phone entirely, I would agree, I would too. But we're talking about a phone that doesn't even exist yet and how that feature would play into our buying habits. I guess, I just see it differently.

you need a Nokia too but also check out this website Teardowns - iSuppli gives pricing per part in an item to calculate manufacture costs of devices

most of the world does Im speaking in terms of hardware though (in reply to Lomac) and besides there are other concerns besides hardware OS choices is strictly personal preference

[shenmecar]

Im personally taking this as a grain of salt, but here is a set of rumors that I am really crossing fingers for!

reports say its gonna be released in April with "expected to be powered by a quad-core, Exynos 4212/ Exyos 5250, 2GHz/ 1.8GHz processor and is likely to have 2GB RAM."

AND a 12 megapixel 1080p video capture, 2 megapixel front-facing camera!

and supposely its gonna be only 7mm thin!

[MarkyMark]

7mm thin I can imagine how thick and awesome the battery is going to be on this phone, might make it half the day before you need to recharge....

[StylinRed]

if its 7mm thick that sensor on the camera is likely to stink
