s3 should really change the complexion of mobile market
given that there are other choices such as the nokia 808 the htc one x the sony xperia s
it should be intresting to see which one gets the peoples vote

The new Samsung chip dual core "2X1.4" gave 34.1 while the dual core Krait "2x1.5" 25.4.

Well all my mates and folk on tech forums have not pre -ordered because we are going sim free or Pay As You Go..As the usual carriers are not announcing these till a bit later we have to wait..Sim Free is quite expensive so all waiting for PAYG pricing before going sim free..So thats another 40 sales just around me..
Then there is all the people waiting for contracts to be up before buying..Then theres the sceptics seeing how the device goes before buying..
I hope we dont get a lull in supply if Samsung run out of units..Maybe whilst perfecting the software they were ramping up supplies and thats another reason they did not appear at MWC.

No wonder! As seen from SGS 3 vs HOX comparison, video recording on the SGS buries the HOX recording. It's comparable with mid-range camcorder quality. In fact, SGS 3 makes camcorders totally useless. Add to that, best performance in benchmarks, removable battery, miniSD card slot, maybe the best screen, and you cannot go wrong buying one.
Problems of the competition:
Tegra 3, a 45nm A9 platform, proven too unreliable.
IPhone, screen too small, too many constraints. Different story with iPad though, content makes all the difference on tablet field.
Krait dual core, maybe similar in performance, but it's let down by the Adreno 225 GPU.
Nokia/windows? Lol! It reached it's peak. It does not grow anymore, can only go down.
Nokia/Symbian? Rofl! Zombies of the smartphone market!
Sure, if you wait at least six months for S4 Krait/Adreno 320, it might be better than SGS 3, but the phones incorporating them will be available at the end of the year/maybe next year. But then, if you wait another six months, SGS 4 will be better. And so on, and so on. If you can wait, don't buy the SGS 3. If you cannot, buy it. I cannot, I go in summer holiday in July and I need a good video camera. For pictures I have my Nikon DSLR :). No camera phone, not even the Nokia 808 can beat that.
