Nice but .. a bigger display? Oh c'mon Sammy!

We'll see if SGS4 will have such screen. It would be easier to carry bigger phones if they could bend a little.

Was interested in the GSIV but these words made *facepalm* "bigger screen" really Samsung is that all you can do how about take the current form factor of the GS3 and redesign the screen to hav full RGB pixels and then push up the ppi. Most people don't want to put a 5" or larger display in their pocket.

But the real question is: Will it blend?
Good for them, this is one idea that will surely push other developers forward.

Planning to make my SGS3 the last mobile phone I ever have, as it's really just a pocket computer.
Used to dream of having such a thing as a kid, when I used to immerse myself in Science Fiction.
But now all that 'fiction' is actual 'fact.' 🙂

The DPI on Galaxy Note II is enough (on S3 the pixels aren't RGB, so there's room for improvement). Going beyond that is a little over the top.

Wouldn't mind an unbreakable screen after standing on my S2.

After having my GS2 for 18 months or so now, I've realized a Nokia 3210 does me just fine, all I want is texting and phoning. I always avoid using the phone for stuff because it's just easier to do it at home on the PC. Games suck on a touch screen, browsing the net is **** on a touch screen, the signal and phone quality is crap on these smart Phones and texting sucks on a touch screen.
Why do phones all get rid of the keypad now? It's much better than using the screen.

To the complaints about screen size:
Chances are the form factor will remain as it is, so the phone will not become any larger. However recently there has been lots of interest in the reduction of bezel sizes, going as far as to design prototype "bezel-less" phones where the entire front is one large screen with barely any border. We seem to be moving in this direction.

Good! it will be out just in time for my to get of the crappy motorola bionic and get the samsung g s4 next year. Wifey just got the s3 about a month ago, that phone is awesome.

I personally used to always HATE touch screens typing and the idea of using one just seemed stupid to me... then I got a Galaxy Nexus and realize that typing on screen is way faster and easier (for me). Go figure...
Regardless, I'm glad to see Samsung continuing to rise (and Apple continuing to fall hehehe...) as they have put out a lot of stellar tech the past several years. Can't wait to see flexible unbreakable screens on the next Nexus device 😉. From here on out I will be buying my phones outright assuming I stick with Verizon for the forseeable future. I'm grandfathered into the $30/month unlimited data plan and if I upgrade my device through VeriZon and renew my contract then I will be forced onto a tiered plan. F that.
