Surely Samsung doing that is silly cos they are not desperate for customers are they. Steeping a little bit low,now all we need is Apple to copy Samsung doing it

WRT Apple, there has been rumours of them having many major review sites such as Gizmodo, Stuff, CNet, Engadget etc... on a pay roll to write great reviews for their products, again, Apple like Samsung don't need to be doing this, their products are great and sell themselves.

These big and successful companies have a tendency to get extremely greedy, they are all greedy of course but they get worse when they are successful and can resort to some silly and questionable tactics.

GS3 Android4.2.2 update is nearly here

Samsung Galaxy S III Android 4.2.2 firmware leaks

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsu[....]2_firmware_leaks-news-6066.php

If it's anything like previous Samsung late stage FW leaks then it should be very stable for daily use, I remember running the 4.1.2 leaked GS3 FW late last year, the one that brought some Note2 features and it was excellent ,wish I still had my GS3 just to try this FW out on it.

Those interested in trying the new FW may get Odin and download FW from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835931

New enhancements in Android 4.2.2 update
- Android 4.2.2 - Build ID: JDQ39
- New S4 Lockscreen: Multiple Widgets, two Unlock effects (Ripple
and Light), improved ripple effect than Android 4.1.2, ability to
change clock size and set a personal message
- New Screen modes (From S4): Adapt Display and Professional
Photo
- Daydream
- Driving mode
- Actionable notifications
- New Additions in Notification Center
- Completely revamped Settings UI (Tabbed interface - Exactly like
the S4)
- Addition of Voice controls (Let’s you control various parts of the
phone using voice commands - Galaxy S4 feature)
- Gallery modes have white background (When changing gallery
modes to 3D the background changes to white)
- Full screen Samsung apps
- New S-Voice (from S4)
- New smart switch widget


Seems the GS3 really may get 4.2.2 before many 2013 flagships, oh dear...

4.2 for the Note 2 shouldn't be far off Hobbs, maybe in the next couple weeks we'll see a leaked FW for it to. The Note2 is more similar and probably just as complex as the GS4 to make FW for due to all the new sensors and stylus so 4.2 may take a little longer to arrive.

Can anyone tell me if the camera on the S4 is much better than the 2 and whether an upgrade from the 3 to the 4 is really worth it? Thanks.

I keep seeing articles that say the cameras in the S3 and S4 are similar?

I buy all my phones outright don't bother with contract and I don't know if its worth paying out £500 for an S4 when I can get an S3 for around £250 now.

Hard choice to be honest.

There isn't much difference except all the new camera features will should be coming to S3's soon in an update,I think. The S4 has a slight blurring on right side of images anyway if you look closely

Camera on the S4 has more details and pictures are sharper : http://www.gsmarena.com/samsu[....]s_galaxy_siii-review-918p7.php

I can also spot those differences between my Note2 and my S4

Might as well get an S4

-Screen (quality, size and sensitivity)
-Battery
-Camera
-Updates
-Sensors
-Audio quality
-UI speed and smoothness
-Signal strength
-Power

etc....

Are much better than the S3s, the overall experience is just a lot more refined, that said, if budget is a major point, GS3 LTE is the best value for money Android around, it's a whole lot of phone for what you get and easily rivals the 2013 flagships in most aspects.

If you want something between GS3 LTE and GS4 then go for the Note2 if the size does not bother you.

The beauty is that in functionality, TouchWiz is ahead of other Android UIs bringing useful features such as a multi item Clipboard (like PCs) and Multi Window multitasking.

I love this phone and some time feel little bit confused about its usage, because I am a newbie here so some apps looks very tough to me if there is help available on the line about all apps that can be used in this phone and the details about the product.

I think this link will help Link text...

Samsung Galaxy S3 is a good device. I like this phone very much but I would like to upgrade its OS from ice cream sandwich to Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean).

I have issues with my contacts on my S3. One of my contacts for example "Mickey Mouse" I can have Phone number and email in the same contact but if the Person has a Facebook account or "Whatsapp" I end up with 4/5 different contacts for the same Person... What am I doing wrong.?
