Just checking over the specs, most if not all dont match up to the 'One X'. Bigger battery? okay, but with a bigger screen and a constant facial recognition technology active it will get drained like theres no tomorrow, LITERALLY. Samsung have made the mistake of making the galaxy note absolutley huge in size, therefore all their future flagships compare to the note, so they'll always bring out bigger phones. All in all it trumps the 'iphone 4s', but I reckon the 'One X' still pips the title of best android phone out at the moment

            In among those
            things is a new
            sensor that tracks
            your eyes – so
            long as you’re
            looking at the S3’s screen, it won’t
            dim or lock itself.
            Yes, you could just
            set the screen
            timer to longer,
            but “Smart Stay” means you don’t
            have to. In use, the
            feature seemed to
            work very well,
            with a little icon
            indicating the phone is watching
            your eyes. On a similar note,
            if you’re looking at
            a contact, or a
            message from a
            contact, the S3
            automatically dials that person when
            you put the phone
            to your face. It’s
            one less button to
            press.

                sam, 03 May 2012my dear sir, android had voice commands long bfore apple ev... moreNope they didn't.

                the very first iphone had voice commands. Siri is just the latest in a long evolution.

                However this isn't about Apple. Or even Android.

                It's about Samsung & their latest flagship. I must say I have to echo the vast majority of posters here. It's an ugly, cheap looking phone to my eyes.

                I suspect that they'll take this off the shelves when they realise that people don't just buy a phone for the specs alone - they want the whole package & don't want that package wrapped up in a cheap looking suit. It'll fail to sell as well as the S2 & there'll be an S4 out before the year is out due to the flop this will be.

                    more than 500 comments in less than 1 hour ?!?!
                    i see a lot of negative comments most of them come from the outdated symbian os users ,which is very funny.
                    one thing i am sure of ...this phone will be the top seller until the release of the new iphone or even after.
                    i am not a fan boy for any company,my needs direct my choices .
                    my phones were nokia,samsung,and now sonyericsson and i might go back to samsung but never nokia without android os.

                      Accessory-wise, there's a wireless charger
                      gadget, flip cover, an HDMI adapter, a battery
                      charging stand and the S-Pebble MP3 player,
                      which plays MP3's from your S III wirelessly.

                      If you guys had a look at this then might be U'Ll dump da ideas of One x being better (only considering logical thinkers, no biased ones, they r gonna hate sammy for whatever great it do)

                        Same GPU as the S2 ,
                        No camera upgrade no slow motion video rec,
                        Same RAM , cheap plasticky design that lacks feel .. Rear of the phone looks funny

                        Fail.. Didnt expect this from samsung

                          Have I missed it or it still has no mini or micro hdmi port?
                          Well, design is kind of ugly... worst, not even ugly... it is bland and plain.
                          Would prefer something hotter in terms of looks.
                          Won't by this one

                            Again common design and very ordinary built....seems to be a toy phone....grow up Samsung....It is your best shot..

                                I prefer HTC ONE X.. Looks sexier in white.

                                This phone sucks and is ugly
