Minor upgrade? What more could they possibly have done?
Hardware upgrades: -
- Quad core processor (double the performance of the sgs2 with 30% less power used up)
- 65% improved graphics over sgs2
- Larger hd screen with improved power efficiency
- Brand new camera and flash
- Much larger battery
- Vastly improved storage capacity
- Wifi performance is twice as good
- NFC chip
- Wireless charging - an industry first
Software upgrades: -
- S-beam - capable of transmitting data at 300mbps, can send a photo gallery in about a second. Revolutionary feature.
- S-voice - what vlingo should have been.
- Eye tracking + other intuitive gestures.
- Has ics out of the box, will most likely get jelly bean
- Vastly improved camera software with burst mode, zero shutter lag, best photo selection and more.
- Automatically recognises your friends in pictures and tags them in all future pictures.
- Better in call quality and volume.
- More codec support.
- Popout video.
And some software features Samsung didn't announce: -
- Improved lock screen (you can create shortcuts to apps like you can on htc phones)
- More toggles in the notification bar.
The ceramic casing you wish for wouldn't work with the wireless charging. I for one am pleased that Samsung is creating useful features rather than trying to make the device look pretty. I look at the screen, not the design of the phone.
What did you expect exactly cause it looks like a big upgrade to me?
Most of those so called software improvements are just gimmicks.
S-Beam? What's wrong with Bluetooth? It's got a better range.
NFC - Really who wants to put their phone against a card reader to pay for something, phone stolen? Phone & Money gone!
Wireless charging? Who needs it, a micro USB is perfectly acceptable, another unnecessary gimmick.
ICS - That's rubbish, is knackered my SGS2, with freezes in addition to the Bluetooth problems its given me.
I will be looking very carefully at what the Iphone 5 will bring.
