Kudos Zak ... for all the stick you've been taking.. most of it uncalled for....
Proper news this...

 

[ojas]

Stick.

Using my N7 for a couple of months taught me one thing: I'd love to have hardware buttons for Home or disable/enable the on-screen system keys because I accidentally activate them often enough to become a significant irritant.

Looks like a fake. The phone looks 2D and the flash reflection looks too real. Paper doesnt reflect light like that.

It's gonna be nice but for the Note 3 my heart waits.

It's a picture on a monitor, not paper.

Meh waiting on the Galaxy Note 3 next Summer with a 6.3 inch screen.

Give me a dedicated camera button though!

each time i read posts like this i always think at "meh ... waiting for Galaxy S8/Iphone22 5 years from now with 3D LED and a virtual vagina" no point in looking at half an year away to be realesed stuff... they are already outdated.

I think you don't even understand both the non-tangible and tangible reasons why someone has a higher marginal utility for an iPhone over a Galaxy.

Uh oh, its got rounded corners! I smell another lawsuit.

No physical buttons yeah! Hopefully the rear speaker will be better than the original Galaxy S this time that one was fantastic. Hopefully a physical camera shutter button as well.

Best thing to do with the buttons on the GS3 is to enable virtual buttons on the screen, then make the 'Home' button a 'camera shutter' button, and make the 'menu' and 'back' buttons 'answer call' and 'hang up call' with long press.

I wouldn't count on it.

I would like to see it with a more rugged outer shell, I would rather have it be a little heavier and stronger then light and weak

Interesting. I have a capacitive home button and have wanted it to be physical. Android use a long-press of the home button to bring up your running apps list. I've found that because it's capacitive, sometimes if my finger moves a bit while I'm holding, it doesn't register as a long hold. A physical button would register it as a hold as long as I keep pressure applied. A little movement wouldn't matter.

I can't think of a better way to do it though without adding another button. Tablets have a button for it, but no menu button. That wouldn't work so well on a phone IMO.

Not only that but iPhone 1 bezel! hehe

The first picture is a picture of a note 2 with the home button removed by photoshop.

If you are going to doctor a photo, a little effort would be appreciated.

I love how Tom's 99.9% of the time never links to the original article, and make it seem like it's originally there article!

 

[technoholic]

Fake or disgusting design i dont like it

 

[bentonsl_2010]

1000 bucks says this picture is BS.

Still NEED the larger screen of the Note2 - or more preferably the phone features in the full blown larger tablets - where browsing and secure remote terminal access would be the preeminent application - if ONLY they would integrate ssh & RDP at the OS level (where they belong) for a tightly integrated STABLE/robust solution - thus negating the need to carry around a laptop - complete with its ever present security exposure.

Then FINALLY we would have a truly compelling converged device negating the need for a separate phone and laptop and an overpriced underpowered tablet.

why the screen size is getting bigger and bigger?? Its better to call this thing as a tablet than smartphone. The optimum size for a smartphone display size is 4 inches or a maximum of 4.2 inches greater than that the phone becomes bulky to handle and feels like holding a book to the ear while talking to someone........
