Samsung Galaxy S III

[EarlZ]

Pila kaha estimated price ani.... nindot sad ni dah.

Either the same price when the S1 or S2 came out sa atoa, 32,995 or 29,995

hope wala na ta ni Amoled issue.. pero.. Samsung being known to have degradation in their QA controls.. I doubt this would have a near perfect screen...

With every newer devices sammy has pitted in.. there is bound to have some issues that might emerge on this eventually....

[istoryan99]

di pud siguro bro ue...basin samsung fixes the defects na...

Good for you sis, who can stop you from believing its your buck. just search the net if there fixes made by samsung of course they replace screen but still a new problem appears. just dont want to "cry out wolf."
But for now i will be using my phones for awhile longer in our Business and Family.",

This is a semi-long post about my experience with Samsung as of late, this post is not for everyone hence it is tagged as a spoiler for those who dont want to read about 'issues' you are spared.

I do agree on what istoryan99 says.

Spoiler! 

What istoryan99 said is true, Since the Galaxy S2 came out its pretty hard to find a 'flawless' screen there were various screen related issues and I experienced them in ALL 7 replacements that I had the most prominent one was the 'yellow tint' on the left side and a lot of users said its a very rare issue and accepted it as a 'normal' screen behavior but at least Samsung managed to alleviate the issue by changing the color temperature on the device to make it less visible but it really didn't resolve the issue other issues includes visible horizontal and vertical lines, most prominent in greys/whites (this issue was quite rare though), blotches on the screen when rendering greys, whiter/darker spots when rendering blacks, suction cup rings behind the screen.

Now, enter the HD SAMOLED screen from the Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Note, it shares the same issues on the Galaxy S2 screen aside from the 'yellow tint', visible horizontal/vertical lines is the more prominent issue on the HD SAMOLED plus and a very grainy display at low brightness - true for both Note and Nexus. Video playback is broken and unacceptable when there is a need to transition from a dark shade into a full black.. to quote a well known dev:

Hi dear Galaxy Note owners.

As many of you I'm not quite satisfied by Galaxy Note screen.
Most of the feedback reveal sub-par results, despite we all know the potential here is huge (to say the least).

Worst offender being shadows rendering: my diagnostic: what's supposed to be dark is not so dark.. and then boom its black (ie black clipping)
As a result color look dull, some UI elements show not quite as they're supposed to, and videos exhibit awful banding, blocking and ringing artifacts.

Here are just some of the threads that cover the SAMOLED issue:

Infact any AMOLED based screen that samsung is shipping has random issues which includes the N9, Moto Razr and PSVita.

As a user, Im not looking for perfection but a device that is supposed to be with in specifications. None of this issues existed as wide spread when I got my Samsung Wave (S8500) nor when I got my Galaxy S1. Some users may not find any of this issues on their phones so this means that Samsung is giving us a pretty random quality control, some users fail to see these issues on their phones even if its there (which is actually good since they can enjoy it).

I am really disappointed in Samsung with this and I've already lost faith in them and probably the Galaxy Note will be my last Samsung mobile phone unless they step up the quality control of their screens. Checking for screen related issues is also quite hard at the mall/store due to the ambient reflections.

unsa naman imo phone sunod bro? the fruit phone? or the LG x3?

[EarlZ]

Wala pako hbaw, disappointed jud kos random quality control sa samsung. I've always been open to the fruit phone basta mo increase lang sila ug screen size to 4+".. wala pakoy sure sa LGX3 bati man gud ug developer support sa XDA na. Approved naman akong refund sa Galaxy Note, gi process na nila ang cheque.

[marc lucas]

Maghuwat ko mu gawas ang uban brands kai para maka pili pud ta... Unyaang samsung sad kai halos kada month naay bag o....

[blu bizcuitz]

delayed daw ang release? pass sa kuno ang release sa SGSIII sa coming MWC 2012 Barcelona? sa first half of the year na kuno...

[EarlZ]

Ila e delay probably kuwang pa ang mass production sa bago nga exynos chipset and also gusto nila ang international ug carrier variant nga release dugan.
