samsung sucks, after so much announcement they came out with this rubbish. There's no innovation in this stupid flagship, nokia 701 is far better, even nokia n8 and king lumia 900. I'll gladly wait for the lovely nokia 808pureview.

      Samsung is in great need of superior industrial designers! This one looks awfully similar to HTC One X specially on the side view.

      My Galaxy S2 was a really good refined evolution of S1 design but this unforgivable. This is a girls phone not a man's phone.

      A sissy phone design at that!

      They also need to increase the brightness of SAMOLED+ & fix the contrast and shadow detail on my S2..plus the the most annoying battery life.!!!!!

          Besides the CPU is just another Samsung

          LoL I was saying this BUT Samsung never goes far from 8x MP cameras,...

          All this commotion for this? Hmmm I was expecting better technology...Gosh! Even Nokia will develop PureVideo and more than Samsung, I think Samsung is getting boring....

          The phone is good but I really really doubt this will be an iPhone 5 Killer or any other....

            The design is ugly,the screen is too big for a pocket,camera very low,low battery,more expensive...what use for quad-core really?Nexus is by far the king..this should be named S2- :)

              Nothing special, but leagues superior to the sheeple's iJail 4s.

                Sammy you can't even get past the first hurdle - it looks so ugly!!! What's the point of a phone with all the tech if you can't even make it look good? I don't blame people buying Apple iPhones at all as I can understand why, and in fact I'm an anti-Apple... soon to be anti-Samsung. Fail.

                      Watched the livestream with enthusiasm. Excited about the few things like the wireless charger and NFC, and features like stay-awake (Screebl anyone?) and direct-calling-from-messaging.

                      But a bit disappointed with the rounded design (I love my S2 so much for the looks, not just it's performance). And what's with Samsung not launching a black/grey variant? Did they lose the plot?

                      And what's with the "Designed for Humans" tagline? As if other phones are meant for aliens. C'mon Sammy, you could've done better.

                      I still love my S2. Well satisfied owning it for about a year. Still continues to be my fav.

                                i had to admit it too..i had high expectation of this next galaxy flagship due to the big fuss the advertisers made, but honestly i am disappointed,despite the good specs, design should be a priority as it is the face of the phone itself..sorry sammy but i had to say go consult with Sony design engineers

                                    This is kinda good actually. samsung stumbles to allow HTC to rise. I'd rather have smartphone market share a little less samsung and apple

                                      Not a big Samsung fan(honestly, not at all) so:

                                      Camera: Not even half what Pureview 808 should put on the table but, I think it has what it needs to take better stills than HTC One X

                                      Processing power: Too much for me but this is the trend. Android is hungry...

                                      Battery: good

                                      Design: What I was especting, two leaks that looked the same(if you take the doubled frame from the first) and it looks better than S/S II.

                                      Quality: Dissapointed, they used same shitty plastics as S/S II when they have cheaper phones on the line(take Wave 3 for example) with premium build.

                                      TouchWiz: even if I had a very bad opinion about it, Samsung managed to make improvements(it actually feels better than the update from Galaxy SII)

                                        I liked everything about the original Galaxy S, especially it curves. They repositioned the usb port at the bottom in the Galaxy S II, which for many might have been the only negative design feature, but they did away with the elegant design of the original Galaxy S, very disappointing. Waiting to see its shape, fingers crossed its an improvement on it predecessor!
