Looks like the Pics are from a prototype as per the article. The actual phone may be different

Global roaming on LTE seems like the first big thing.

Why? They're reacting real-life situations and showing how the phone can be used.

That look away feature is great but I hope to god it can be disabled. I wouldn't want a video to stop everytime I glance away.

Not much difference from the S3. Most of the features will be available to S3 users through XDA at some point.

If you want them.

I've never been raped but I'd imagine this is the empty feeling one gets after. That was horrible.

An interesting way to present something...definitely different.
Can't help but to think that it they were working too hard for the laughs.

Keynote aside, somewhat annoyed at the slew people screaming "SAMSUNG AND THEIR STUPID PLASTIC!".

I didn't know that poly carbonate on the Galaxy series had stolen children and raped wives.

I disagree. I'd say the 1080p screen, 13MP camera and 802.11ac wifi are big upgrades.

I rarely use any of the S features on my Note, and I don't know if any the new ones they mention pique my interest. I'd rather have stock 4.2.\

Edit: Having said that, the presentation was so horrible I really don't know what to think about the phone. They spent more time showing that stupid, tapdancing kid than they mentioned specs.

When looking back at the S3 launch when they first launched the myriad of stock features like sharing music/photos, the Hub, various camera features, front facing camera features...I can't help but notice that most people aren't going to take advantage or even know about these features.

Lots of other nifty tricks and features but nothing impressive.

Then again, technology moves fast but not every year can it be a jump from something like an S2 to a S3.

The screen I'll give you, but you don't need more MPs to create better pictures, and my S3 takes awesome pictures. The AC WiFi standard is nice for the future, but I can't even saturate my N connection right now.

I think smartphones have hit their peak in terms of real innovation. Just small stuff being added now.

802.11ac gives better range and power consumption too.

You're right about the camera. It remains to be seen if it's any better in terms of quality.

I missed this but should check a recording of it in a bit.

The "raping" thing seems a bit much - can't be that bad.
