Dick Montage Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 So I'm thinking of getting a GS3 in a few days. My query is, does the recent court ruling (apple / samsung / patents) have any effect on this phone? Is it likely to be discontinued quickly, or get an update removing features?

-T- Member Posted August 28, 2012 Member Share Posted August 28, 2012 At the moment, the decision only really applies to older hardware. The S3 should be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo158 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 The ruling only applies to older models and only in the US, not worldwide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardcore Til I Die Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Nah, S3 is safe for now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted August 28, 2012 Veteran Share Posted August 28, 2012 When they were designing the S3 they actually had lawyers look after the designs to make sure that apple could not do anything against them for it. Also its an excellent phone, I picked mine up a day after it was released on Verizon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the design of the S3 anyway :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techbeck Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Yup, like others stated....S3 is safe. In fact, they are coming out with more colors as well (amber brown, titanium grey). I believe the GNEX is safe as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJerman Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Regardless, I suggest the One X over the SGS3. :shifty: Jan 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikearnill Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Well right now samsung galaxy s3 is safe, there are many rumours that it is going to come out in many other colors. I guess that would be kind of exciting to see it in different colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
