Mr Promise, 13 Mar 2013Year after year i run and pre-order the latest Samsung phon... moreOh sure you won't. Thats exactly what people said after Samsung burned them with the Behold 2 and bada devices that they didn't support.

You'll be in line just like you always were trying to be the first to get the best so you can show off and brag.

I hope you learn patience one day as you have just gotten the result of not having any.

    Put 2GB RAM in it, a non-pentile screen with a 2400mAh battery and then TAKE MY MONEY!

                By better screen, I hope they mean one that won't break so easily when you drop it. The Galaxy S II was much more resistant to cracking when dropped compared to the s III

                  Probably the upgraded version is using Note II RGB Super AMOLED screen. But is it needed?

                    What is the meaning of this. S3 screen is bad? I really like my s3 screen because of high contrast and good ppi.

                      I really hope that on the unpacked event we don't get a Galaxy S3S... Like Apple does...

                        There is already a better version of s3 its the international s3 lte or may be the leaked photos of i9501 is the new s3 not the s4

                          Maybe the leaks we're been seeing are of the updated s3 ?!?

                            A better screen may be a RGB Amoled compared to the pentile on present SIII

                                  AnonD-29473, 13 Mar 2013Screen will still be 720p, but may be PHOLED non Pentile. ... morel doubt they will introduce pholed for the first time on last year's flagship model. But Note2's screen is a step up from S3. It has full RGB, is crispier, and has much better white levels as well as general brightness overall. I Would Consider that a fisible and decent upgrade...

                                    If they insert bigger battery, full RGB amoled from NOTE 2, and make it 2GB of RAM, they will have two flagship phones released this year... l am sure, that it will be lacking in some department as it Was usually the Case. Maybe even camera. What would be the point of getting S IV then? faster CPU? stunning design? :)

                                        Give it the Note II chipset, make it more shock resistant (its fragile to drops compared to the iphone 5) and increase the battery capacity. Job done.
