Anyone knows what the next phone coming out that can compete with the S3?

Just got the S3 and it's nice but I prefer some of the things my motion offered. So my next search is for a phone that will be on the same level as the Motion/S3 in terms of operating system, speed, a minimum 4 inch screen, etc. I am big on my Voxer, app and it's way too loud on the Samsung. Sounds muffled sometimes, but when listened to on the Motion thing is normal. Other functionality things I prefer on the Motion, and so it looks like I'll be buying an LG phone next time. So if anyone can tell me what's next in store coming out in like a month or two I would appreciate it thanks.
 
There's the LG Optimus G but it's new and who knows if Metro will get it.

Also the reviews mentioned short battery life on Optimus G.

Manufacturers IMO have to use beefy batteries and not worry about having a 4 ounce phone.

I have noticed the speakerphone on my Motion sounding very good and loud for Internet Radio especially using AnEq or EQ apps for a little more fullness.

The Motion has very few issues-and I hope LG can make some upscale versions for more $ with
very high res screens and similar battery life and good audio.

The Optimus G seems to have most of these except battery life from what I've read.It is LGs top phone and has quad core either 8 or 13 megapixel camera (two different versions) .

The LG Escape MS 870 is very similar to Motion and has a nicer screen and a bigger battery ,very good audio

but no flash on the camera and a bit less internal memory.

The Motion and Escape are some of LGs best phones even though they are low budget-hopefully

LG can expand on these .
 
The Escapes 4.3 inch screen looks a little too small to be the rumored phone that looks like it has at least a 4.5 inch screen
 
Well thanks. I definitely need a flash, but a motion with a bigger screen would be perfect for me. I can't wait. When that comes, I'll sell my S3.
 
I'm interested in the ms870 still going to buy the s3 but my dad wants a large screen phone but not the s3, he doesn't really like Samsung for some reason even though I keep telling him the s3 is a wonderful phone

Good point Gman. I stand corrected.

Hopefully it's more of an upgrade-on another thread , it looks like they call it the LG Spirit .

I'm hoping for great stuff from LG - if they can do an excellent phone like the Motion

,it will be interesting to see what they can do in the $350-500 range.( not saying the Spirit will be that much $ )

If not when it's time for the big upgrade we'll be waiting to see if Metro

gets the Galaxy S4 in ( April ? ) 2013......
 
If Metro wasnt merging with tmobile i would say no, they would eventually get it but not at release
But since the merger is supposed to be approved or not approved by the FCC on April 1,2013 we'll have access to Tmo's network
 
Yeah If the Merger is approved Metro could actually get new phones as they are being released.(! ).

That would be a nice shock if they get the S4 at release date.

T Mobile got the Note 2 a few months before AT&T.....
