NEW COLORS FOR GALAXY S3! Red, Black, Grey, and Brown!

       

Samsung announced at IFA in Berlin today that its flagship smartphone will soon be available in Amber Brown, Garnet Red, Sapphire Black, and Titanium Grey.

The colors aim to continue the Galaxy S III’s focus on nature, and each one is “derived from man’s relationship with natural materials and perfectly compliments the handset’s organic experience,” Samsung says.

The Korean company also noted that the availability of these colors will depend on your country and carrier/retailer — so it could be that not all of them arrive where you live. It hasn’t stated which devices will be available in which markets, but we’re hoping that carriers will do that on Samsung’s behalf in the coming days and weeks.

Would you still ignore the awesomeness of the Galaxy S3? Or will you fall into the trap of picking one up?

Black Samsung Galaxy S III 16GB Coming to U.K. in ’4-6 Weeks’

U.K. retailer MobileFun has confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy S III is coming to the U.K. in black in “4-6 weeks.” The handset will feature 16GB of storage and will be priced the same as its Marble White and Pebble Blue siblings. That’s £499.95 (approx. $785) SIM-free.

We’re happy to announce that Mobile Fun will be stocking the Samsung Galaxy S III sim free… in black! As far as we know, we’re the first to announce a price and release date for the new phone.

The new colour scheme looks fantastic when paired with the S3′s sweeping curves and thin frame, with a subtle texture that looks fantastic as you move it in the light.

Apart from its black paint job, the handset is identical to existing Galaxy S III handsets. It’ll feature the same 1.4GHz quad-core Exynos processor, 1GB of RAM, and a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display. There’s also an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera, and Samsung’s new voice-controlled S Voice application. I wish this comes to the US!

Samsung Galaxy Note II Design and Specs LEAKED!!

"A new image of what is allegedly Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Note II has surfaced online. The shot showcases the front of the new handset, and it looks a lot like a Galaxy S III that’s been stretched out. It features a physical home button that’s significantly larger than that of the original Galaxy Note, in addition to a front-facing camera." -TechnoBuffalo

With the handset’s official unveiling now just a couple of weeks away, this is certainly the right time for official press shots to be leaking. But Samsung has been cracking down on leaks like these, and the Korean company managed to keep the Galaxy S III’s design a secret right up until its unveiling.

The image was sent into GSMArena, who have been unable to confirm its authenticity with their other sources. However, as they note, Samsung is expected to make the second-generation Galaxy Note look a lot like the Galaxy S III, and so even if this is a fan-made mockup, it’s likely to be pretty close to the truth.

The tipster also provided some specifications for the device. They say it will it will sport a 1280 x 800 pixel Super AMOLED display that measures 5.5 inches diagonally. A full HD display did undergo testing, according to the source, but it was found to be consuming too much battery life and had to be scrapped.

The handset will also boast a 1.5GHz quad-core Exynos processor and an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera. It is expected to ship with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich rather than 4.1 Jelly Bean, but an update to the latest OS is expected later on — as you’d have hoped with a brand new handset.

What do you think of this alleged press shot? 

HTC One S Rants, HTC One S vs Samsung Galaxy S3 vs HTC Amaze

Right now, at this point I have owned a HTC Amaze, however, I was thinking to upgrade to the HTC One S. But, I changed my mind because of the fact that HTC One S is worst than the HTC Amaze. On the HTC Amaze, the front facing camera is 2 megapixel and the rear camera is a 8 megapixel camera with many amazing features (see what I did there?). Yet the HTC One S has a VGA front camera (the one on the HTC Sensation) and the rear camera is 8 megapixels but the image warps in film mode, and has a badder camera than the HTC Sensation. The only reason people would buy the phone is because of the sleek aluminum unibody and probably the Beats Audio. The sleekness and the aluminum body does look much better than the HTC Amaze, and right now its the same price as the HTC Amaze. The Beats audio has no difference to the audio though, the only thing this does is make you buy Beats headphones and when you plug the headphones (Beats) in, a Beats logo pops up in the task bar. So impressive. The stunning this about this phone is the screen quality. You've got to admit, its much better than the Galaxy S3 and even though the One S still has the same screen size as its predecessors. The Galaxy S3 clearly learn from the mistakes of the Galaxy S2, with a bigger screen size, better camera (doesn't warp as much in video, but HTC Amaze camera looks better),bigger battery, better design , and a much smarter UI. The only way the One S evolved was to get a better screen but not bigger, crappier cameras, Beats Audio (doesn't come with headphones), sleeker, sexy aluminum unibody, and Sense 4.0 that completely blind outs Android 4.0. 

Moral of the Story: Don't get the HTC One S. It has a good exterior looks but the specs aren't so good. The HTC Amaze isn't the most thinnest or the most beautiful, but it has a much better camera, still has the genuin Android 4.0 feel, and more cheap, it becomes free on the T-Mobile website sometimes. If you have 279 dollars, get the Galaxy S3 if you want to be more happy.
