Galaxy S3: the display is not very bright? Here DisplayMate tests

Dr. Raymond Soneira of DisplayMate , the major company involved in consulting for manufacturers, calibration mathematical analysis of the performance of nearly any type of screen, has made ​​an interesting test on the evolution of Samsung's AMOLED display comparing the three Galaxy S series phones.

 

Before turning to estimates of the parameters taken into consideration a brief analysis of AMOLED technology that has had a good evolution in positive thanks to Samsung for years that focuses on this type of screens, especially at the level of energy efficiency, a parameter of primary importance on smartphones .

However there is room for improvement regarding the management of colors, although with Galaxy S3 Galaxy Nexus and look more natural, the range of contrasts still suffers varied in yield, where the green is much more saturated than the blue and red, offering images with a strong predominance of that color. Another highlight is represented by the whites who are still unnatural, expensive and prone to blue-efficient. A general criticism is not solely linked amoled move the light sensor for smartphones that is said by Soneira tends to adjust the brightness of the face and not with the environmental consequence of this is a bad management as well as automatic brightness eye strain makes the power consumption even more.

Energy expenditure which is always to be the Achilles heel for the AMOLED issues and saving battery power in mobile computing are castrated in gloss potential.

We come finally to emerge where the comparison interesting data related to the evolution of the AMOLED by Galaxy S, S2 and S3. While Samsung seems to have worked well on the color rendering and consumption, by contrast, and brightness of the screen reflections are slightly worse than the first Galaxy S marketed.

Reflection Screen

 

Despite the worsening Galaxy S between the first and the last models to be said that 4.4% is the best value recorded in the mobile from DisplayMate differences between the three devices found only in the laboratory without a real and obvious parallels in reality. The parameters are the average value if we consider that the worst is now reported as a percentage of 14.8%.

Brightness and Contrast

 

In theory, the contrast ratio would be the essential parameter for quality feedback but applies to a device used in low ambient light, a rare situation for smart phones in normal use. Interestingly, in effect cd/m2 brightness is lower in Galaxy S3 . As a final evaluation of the visibility is described as very good for all three devices although there has been an actual deterioration.

Consumption Display

While the brightness has worsened over time, we can say that power management has almost halved compared to the first model, going from 2.4 w 1.3 w in Galaxy S3. This figure is more easily understandable with the next table.

 

The duration in hours of battery with the screen turned on airplane mode without active applications is improved significantly in Galaxy S3, positively influenced by the battery of higher capacity and at the same time adversely affected by larger screen (4.8 inches S3 / S2 4.3 inch / 4.0 inch Galaxy S).

It should be reminded of the diversity of AMOLED technology used in the three devices, which resulted in Galaxy S3 SuperAMOLED in a matrix screen HD resolution pentyl HD 1280 x 720 with a density of pixels significantly higher (306 ppi), compared to SuperAMOLED Galaxy S Always pentyl matrix (840 x 480 at 233 ppi) and SuperAMOLED Plus Galaxy S2 RGB matrix (840 x 480 206 ppi).

 

In summary we can say that the improvements derived from the evolution of the AMOLED display, and there are evident despite the price that emerges from these numbers will result on balance in a lower brightness technology pentyl S3 compared to Galaxy S. In general, for our tests, we can actually say that S3 has a brightness lower than the competition of the same band and the light outside the visible screen is less than One X, 4X or iPhone.  by

Galaxy S3 arriving in Blue and White!

The image of the invitation contained in the press that Samsung has sent a few weeks ago to the participants at the conference to present the new Galaxy that will take place tomorrow in London, showed two spots of color: a Blue and White. Although the initial hypothesis of two possible colors was the most obvious, yet it had no news on two realistic color variations.

 

The photo was taken in the chain  Carphone Warehouse and is obviously referring to the part numbers in stock or still arriving. A clear confirmation that the new Galaxy S3 will be available immediately in two different color variations and probably will be the commercial release by the end of the month of May in key international markets.

Galaxy S3: late May with TIM to 699 € 32GB version

The rumors that up to now circulate around the Galaxy S3 are slowly advancing and among the latest images, and render official confirmation, the new top range Samsung is taking shape. What is missing is, in addition to the finalization of the device, the price and release date. Thanks to some sources we are told in the inclusion list by Tim Galaxy S3 32GB version priced at € 699 .

 

A price which is obviously not yet available and that the new Samsung player will see the end of May. If everything was officially confirmed (at the moment we can not give you this information as absolutely certain, for obvious reasons), the Galaxy S3 could reach the market sooner than expected and very few weeks after the official presentation of next May 3.

Not only that but also confirmed that the 32GB version will be also included in the list TIM All Inclusive to 12 euros per month for 30 months. The details of the offer will surely be announced in the coming weeks, but it is a further confirmation of the price already suggested in previous articles.

Hopefully in a 16GB version perhaps to 599 € although it is difficult or unlikely, however, to launch. TIM, however, expect the convention to be held May 6 for any official confirmation.

Samsung officially confirms the Exynos 4 Quad Core for the next Galaxy

Although we will now certain that the next Samsung Galaxy S3 would have mounted a processor Exynos Quad Core , one of the last benchmark Antutu released in the last hour on the network running on a prerelease version showed results from a dual-core cpu, but not now There are more doubts and the confirmation comes directly from the Korean. Through a statement, Samsung confirmed that the next generation of smartphone flagship Galaxy mount a Quad-Core Exynos , made ​​with a 32nm processor production and based on ARM Cortex-A9 .

The interesting thing that has raised more than some speculation following the announcement, is that the new processor that would be pin-to-pin compatible with previous generation dual-core cpu, so that manufacturers could easily lead to an upgrade of devices present without extra costs. So, although there is no confirmation for the GPU, the new Galaxy still could mount the Mali-400 graphics department providing for backward compatibility and high performance graphics still important. Maybe just have a higher clock.

Finally, a clarification: the new Quad Core processor called Exynos 4212 and not 4412 as previously announced and will be clocked at 1.4GHz!

It is too early to already imagine a Samsung Galaxy Notes with heart Quad-Core?

Galaxy S3: still no official confirmation directly from Samsung!

A few minutes ago we published the blog Android 's official application for Samsung devices Unpacked Google , the program would be helpful to be able to see content that will be presented, read news and information about the event and follow the live presentation. Just within this program have been found clear references to the Galaxy S3 , the successor of S2 that many are waiting.

The Next Galaxy here is the first Video Teaser

A few minutes from the end of the countdown, here we propose two Teaser video that Samsung has released to announce a new universe. No product was shown at the time and no image appears to be hidden within the video. What we perceive is that the wait could not really disappoint the expectations.

The universe is the motor carrier of video and everything seems to anticipate something new and technologically smart.

In addition to common questions, what do the sheep in the video? (reference not random)

"Truly smart technology Becomes a natural part of life"

" With technology That raised easily fits into this, you can now stand out from everyone else "

Samsung i9300 Galaxy: here's how to shoot photographs

Yesterday we showed you the pictures of the prototype i9300 Galaxy , the model that still remains shrouded in mystery and on which there are still beams on both appearance and features, today we offer a series of photographs taken by phone. This is not always seen pictures of yesterday, but the new shots much more defined that allow the camera to actually see the potential of i9300. In addition to the gallery, below you will find data and information related to the chamber.

The software version of the device is I9300XXALBA, the same view on the page GL-benchmark a few days ago. The photographs are interesting and see how we can offer good quality and colors that seem real. On site picasa are other photos in the gallery because we have not put out of focus and not useful to a superficial judgment.

The details that you see on the right indicate:

• resolution 3264 × 2448
• aperture 2.6
• 4mm focal length
• maximum aperture 2.76

Data that are more or less in all the photos taken by i9300. It only remains now to wait for the presentation and understand what the real shape and characteristics of i9300 and whether this will actually be the product code of the successor to the Galaxy S2.

S-Cloud: Cloud arrive on Samsung already anticipated

With regard to the expandable memory manufacturer may choose to eliminate the external support in order to push the cloud, Google is that maybe in a proprietary solution (...) and still offer 32GB of memory available that is considered sufficient for most users.

How often have noticed in various articles, we can never be direct and write clearly in advance of any products and presentations. And a clear reference to what today is written by Theverge. 

S-Cloud should be the name of Samsung's proprietary solution for sharing, archiving and storage of their data in the Cloud. The space should be initially 5GB and could be integrated within it a range of services such as Samsung TV, Streaming, Music and other multimedia content.

S-Cloud should be submitted along with the new Galaxy on the 3rd of May and arrive in the following months with a commercial launch is extended to America and Europe. You just have to wait for the presentation and developments.

Galaxy S3, comes the first video of the prototype Quad Core! (Pictures)

After so many images, and words leaked, finally arrives first video of a prototype, so with cosmetic not final, the Galaxy S3 , i9300 or better, the next Korean manufacturer of smartphones that will be presented in a few weeks. We reiterate that what is shown a device which is surrounded by a protective cover is not definitive to test the device without showing the actual appearance, thickness and shape.

Also there are no certainties that still the front buttons are actually the ones shown in the video. Recent rumors indicate physical key and central fact is not possible that Samsung may have also changed the layout of the front. The hardware should still be the definitive, and sees in particular:

• Quad Core 1.4GHz
• 1280x720pixel HD screen (actually in 1184 when the keys are not counted as a space-screen display)
• 8 megapixels
• MicroSim
• microsd
• Battery 2050mah
• 16gb internal memory
• NFC

Obviously, although the material is now so much and clear directions, is not yet certain that the show is really the successor to the Galaxy S2. 

On the one hand totally different aesthetics may not be missing the surprise, the other what we see is a prototype for all purposes, and therefore many things may change before launch. Samsung is no stranger to full reviews of the aesthetics of its products to a few weeks of filing.

We'll see if it really is the successor S2 ... by

Galaxy S3: new images from Brazil, is he?

And 'he or is not He? More photos coming directly from Gizomodo brazil top range of the new Samsung . Images show a very similar device all'i9300 already seen a few weeks ago and could confirm that the product appearance. Anchors that are slowly going to dial one of the most difficult puzzle ever seen so much hype and the almost complete lack of realistic information on the new top range Samsung.

According to the source of the camera is 12 megapixels, and offers an HD display always as hypothesized. Unfortunately, once again, there are different opinions they see on the one hand an uncertainty on the fact that that in the photo is really the top range Samsung or simply a model slightly lower, in line with HTC One X and HTC One S. From the other Galaxy S3 has always been "masked" by the manufacturer with a design is not real and enclosed within a shell prototype in order to avoid leaks and images such as those we see.

You just have to wait until next May 3 to find out all the details of the new range of Samsung Galaxy.

Galaxy S3: smartphone official London 2012 Olympics, and Global launch two colors

The announcement of the unveiling of the new top range Samsung has moved even more by the rumors that several weeks crossing the Internet. Although the picture accompanying the invitation does not offer any particular starting point, the two spots of color blue and white are two colors to suggest the new Galaxy line of smartphones. Possible hypothesis, but certainly not particularly imaginative, and based on an image difficult to interpret. Instead, several details that would see a global launch of the product.

According to BGR , Galaxy S3 will be launched in all major international markets in the contemporary world and, unlike the previous model, will arrive in America, Asia and Europe almost simultaneously.

Information goes also for execution. It will be available 16GB and 32GB models with or without LTE 4G connectivity, depending on the market. So differentiation patterns typical of Korean manufacturer. Finally, as speculated for months in advance and on several occasions, Galaxy S3 will be the smartphone Journal of the London 2012 Olympics.

Note: Image of an old concept.

Samsung Galaxy S3 could have a original technology for better definition of the Super AMOLED Plus HD

Combining the information coming in very low, Korea, the new Galaxy S3 slowly taking shape. If we take as true the news this morning that would see the new device with a physical home button and the Touch Wiz home with 5 keys , the concept depicted in the picture might not be so far away from a hypothetical reality. Obviously, until we have precise information is hard to imagine, but among the large display, thin and more or less confirmed keys may not be so risky the image above. According to the latest information, the Super AMOLED Plus HD Display will be mounted on the top range 2012, will not have the same technology used on the Tab 7.7, but will be more refined and have more definition.

To clarify retrace roughly the characteristics of the display. The screens are of type Amoled PenTile, or are formed by a series of pixels that have a composition less refined compared to the same pixels which compose a LCD display classic. Other hand have a greater depth of color, crisper blacks and colors more contrasted.

PenTile are the screen S Galaxy, Galaxy and Galaxy Nexus Notes and therefore vary in magnitude to that resolution. Although Galaxy Notes and Nexus have an HD display, at the level of PPI (pixels per inch) is not possible to consider the density of pixels as a "true HD" because PenTile displays have lower resolution and pixel density compared to the same screen but with LCD technology.

Samsung has developed so the variation of the AMOLED Plus which basically increases the number of subpixels improved definition, clarity and factual clarity. Screens that are not defined-PenTile and are adopted by the range and S2 Galaxy, Galaxy Tab 7.7. Although Table 7.7 in both HD (1280 × 800) its definition is not likely to be considered on a par with an LCD display as the number of individual pixels that make up the image is less although invisible to the eye.

To be able to break through this barrier, or for creating pixel smaller than 15 micrometers, Samsung have adopted the technology  Laser-Induced Thermal Imaging (DISPUTES)that would create pixels of only 2.5 micrometers. One feature that in fact the producer had already shown but never really implemented, and who he could do now, with the launch of the new Top Range.

According to the image you see above fact, this new solution display should arrive shortly with a beginning of its considerable manufacturing units in Q2 2012. The new AMOLED screen should still be a combination of technology FMM (Fine Metal Mask) and the DISPUTES (Laser-Induced Thermal Imaging) in order to have a definition never seen before on AMOLED panels, bright colors, perfect contrast and no effect of "heavenly" for whites that would be comparable to the best then IPS display on the market.

We will see this really the new top range Samsung?

[Samsung Galaxy S3] Presentation on May 22 and new, unpublished image | Press Invitation

That is really the right time? The news comes directly from Yahoo Korea and the offset should be an invitation for print journalists to present the new Samsung Galaxy S3. The image is clear, precise and does not leave much doubt. The name is clearly Galaxy S3, perhaps belying the different name of the successor to the Galaxy S2. The submission date is Tuesday 22 May and the place London, United Kingdom. Little doubt, therefore, and very explanatory image.

Obviously impossible not to dwell on the line shown on the smartphone. If you really what will be the new top range Samsung, so we could finally say goodbye to "worship" plastic made in Korea. The shell appears to be completely made of aluminum, or in any case metal, with the display that is able to contain to a minimum the outer frame and with a recess in the lateral part of the device.

The characteristics are as usual for now leaked for months:

• Exynos Quad Core Processor
• 1GB of RAM (or 1.5)
• 8 megapixel camera (or 12)
• NFC
• HSPs + or LTE
• Super Screen AMOLED Plus HD 4.65 inch

The invitation read print the slogan of the device: Fast, Vivid, Slim . So besides being quick and brilliant, will also be subtle and hopefully not too heavy. If everything was confirmed, might actually be two new devices from Samsung Android Ice Cream Sandwich, or the one shown above could be a prototype that was subsequently modified (not the first time).

[Rumor Galaxy S3] pre-orders for more than 10 million units and launch price in line with that of the Galaxy S2

According to analysts at Citibank and JP Morgan for the new year Samsung will mark a new sales record for the Korean house with about 5.28 billion dollars already accumulated only in Q1 and large numbers expected in the coming months with the release of the much Samsung Galaxy S3 . According to Eldar Murtazin the new flagship of the Korean company will achieve pre-orders for more than 10 million units and will be used as a benchmark for smartphone platform Android (like the current short S2).

Other rumors by some phone companies resident in South Africa. The smartphone would indeed about to be presented and ready to appear on the shelves in early July to launch a price very similar to the Samsung S2 Galaxy thereby remaining in line with the competition.

Wait that is becoming true in some frantic but should last much longer given the time relatively close to a debut in stores in early summer. The competition will be fierce between April and June, but it seems that the mystery about the successor of the Galaxy i9100 is increasing the hype and there are many users who intend to change smartphones, the new top range are waiting to decide what to buy Korean.

[Samsung Galaxy S3] credible AMOLED display Super HD Plus

They keep the news about the new Samsung Galaxy S3. According to the latest rumor from Digitime, always close to Asian suppliers, the new top range Samsung will have a display of 4.6 inches AMOLED Super Plus HD with a pixel density of 319ppi . This technology is currently used only on the Galaxy Tab 7.7, the top range of Samsung Tablet that integrates exactly a display associated with the Plus HD resolution. The Galaxy Plus S2 has no display but with resolution 800 × 480 pixels.

Being the successor S2, the new model could have a more defined and suffix Plus display technology Samsung is already available at home and, if everything is confirmed, it would be the most resolute AMOLED display ever created. In fact, unlike the HD display mounted on the Galaxy Nexus, the Plus version is non-pentyl, or allows to have a greater definition thanks to the greater number of subpixels with go to make up a single pixel.

This turns into a display of the contours of images or written than the pentyl version maintaining the undoubted quality of Super AMOLED technology. A news which is quite plausible and that might be realistic.

Note: Picture for illustration purposes only, it is not the Galaxy S3.

Samsung Galaxy S3: Exynos Quad Core Processor now certain

If there were any doubts about using Exynos Quad Core processor on the new top range Samsung, get new confirmations by anonymous Korean Samsung executives. Although there had already said that the processor would almost certainly have been the model 4412 with a 32nm production process, now comes further confirmation that the damage for sure.

So a heart Cortex A9 with 4 processors with clock including a 1.2 and 1.5GHz helped by Android 4.0.3 and plenty of RAM memory and can handle all applications without problems.

[ Galaxy S3 ] Maybe we, comes a new image that convinces | Presentation May 22?

As you noticed we're always careful to show no clear pictures of the successor to the Galaxy S2. But now comes a new image, although it may be regarded as a Fake, is decidedly more convincing than others shown in the past. First, the device reflects the new line introduced by Samsung Tablet and renamed "anti patent".

Like the Galaxy and the Galaxy tab 10.1N Notes 10.1, the body side metal is to surround the entire display offering a unique design and definitely more distinctive than the current product line.

A render graph seems entirely consistent with the trend and that Samsung might be much more realistic S3 shown above.

In the second analysis we can see the brand Weber Shandwick that is merely one of the largest advertising agencies in the world that could have an exclusive on the hype of the product in conjunction with the London Olympics in 2012. A detail that makes this much more interesting than the previous.

Although the benefit of the doubt remains, Galaxy S3 could be realistically this.

The image also shows the date of May 22, international day of presentation likely will happen in London. Although the plugs may come back, that is quite out of tune is a graphical interface. Although the Touch Wiz is a certainty, it all seems really too similar, if not identical, to the current customization of this Galaxy S2.

In reality they are only 3 and Samsung Widgets that we see may not have revolutionized the way deep interface. By analyzing in detail the image further, we note a number of details that do not seem to work roughly in photoshop, but are really well done, both to identify these images as the most interesting published to date.

So will the new Galaxy S3?

Samsung Galaxy S3: full specifications

Continuing rumors about the long Galaxy Samsung S3  from the BGR site. Having anticipated some of the alleged features and form factor of the building last week, the rumors this time focusing on the complete technical specifications .

 With the necessary premise that the following should be considered as a mere rumor , the technical characteristics of the device would include:

• Quad-core 1.5 GHz Samsung Exynos
• Display 4.8 "full HD 1080p resolution in 16:9
• 8-megapixel back camera and a 2 megapixel front
• Shell made of ceramic materials
• Connectivity 4G LTE
• Android 4.0

As also noted above, we hope that rumors can be confirmed quickly. If the information just described should be based, the Samsung Galaxy S3 could prove a worthy successor to the current model. Just dwell on the technical occupy CPU-Display for realizing it. source

Samsung Galaxy SIII: That phrase might be according to some speculations

We have seen this night some important Rumors on the upcoming Google Phone, the Samsung Nexus Prime, which should debut as Galaxy Nexus. Some of these advances, however, have covered the successor to the Galaxy S2, or the Galaxy SIII. It would be an amazing smartphone, with features exaggerated, and perhaps this really too much for it as true.

Features Galaxy SIII

• Samsung processor, 2.0 GHz
• 1.5 GB of RAM
• 32 GB of internal memory
• microSD slot
• Super AMOLED display with a well-III 4.65-inch 352 ppi (we'll call him Super Mega Ultra HD Plus AMOLED to shorten the name)
• 10 megapixel camera capable of shoot video in Full HD at 60 frames per second
• 2250 mAh battery
• NFC chip
• Android Ice Cream Sandwich
• TouchWiz 5
• 9mm thick

His debut is expected in February, the Mobile World Congress in 2012 only to see a sale around May of that year. Obviously everything has to be taken with the benefit of the doubt though certainly Samsung important new show at the MWC 2012.

Ice Cream Sandwich, The new system will obviously be one of the main features of this smartphone will have a new personalization and lighter. Touch Wiz 5 seems to interact with Android 2.4 in a less invasive and in similar way to what is happening today on Honeycomb personalized Samsung. Will not be so upset the system, but additional features supported by graphics and a slightly different without altering the OS.

Finally, the materials used for the body should be made of metal although it is not clear whether this will be only a frame of metal or external to the body of your smartphone.

These speculations, of course, be taken as a hypothetical fantasy to imagine, dream and desire a new, yet another, super smartphones. Output, however, to one year away from the S2 arrived in May. 3D is missing ...
