KJZ, 19 Sep 2012Best touch screen even made.. Had an S2 lags like crazy eve... moreandroid is mo complex to use than ios..u need to study to familiar with andriod, once u understand how andriod operation i bet u never wanna say that android is lag or blah blah..lag only a few low end andriod.. mostly people talk about andriod is lag or slow but keep in mind andriod os need to take time to understand not like ios..u just open and close apps..andriod is different than ios..at my first experience using andriod device it almost the same problem with lag..but that because i dont really understand about andriod os at the time ,since im iphone user before i jump to andriod until now.

      lio_drake, 19 Sep 2012u just made my point. u guys have nothing thats original. ... moreYeah, man, i really don't understand this guys. They just don't get that Apple invented the smartphone! And a lot of other things! All other smartphone OEMs ARE STEALING from apple. And everybody that buys a CHEAP COPY OF AN IPHONE (like Samsung, HTC, Nokia, LG, Alcatel, Erricson, Motorola, Sony) should go to prison because they encourage the companies to steal everything from Apple. Do some reading, people: Nokia actually stole the 3310 design from Steve Jobs himself! Even BMW stole the iDrive from Apple!

          TizenMeeGo Takeover, 19 Sep 2012I'd love to hear about that Battery life GSMArena. LTE and ... moreFrom Engadget

          "On our standard battery rundown test, in which we loop a video with LTE and WiFi enabled and social accounts pinging at regular intervals, the iPhone 5 managed a hugely impressive 11 hours and 15 minutes. That's just 10 minutes shy of the Motorola Droid RAZR Maxx."

                Good phone no doubt but for the money you have to pay... No thank you! If Iphone was cheaper then it would ve been best phone. New HTC phablet or note 2 sounds better

                  Anonymous, 19 Sep 2012yeah we took it, we have it and makes siri look like a joke... moreu just made my point.
                  u guys have nothing thats original.
                  u take crap copied from everywhere and call it the best phone. lol
                  and mate wait for iphone 5 to come out.
                  wait for the reviews and considering u are soo jobless that u specially come to an apple page and praise s3/degrade apple.
                  we apple fans dont do suck trolling coz the phone speaks for itself.
                  DO yourself a favor and go to a faildroid page and write this crap and save yourself from this pathetic embarassment.
                  i say again
                  goole's OS + apple's interface + crap build quality = gs3.
                  and yeah NUFF said :D

                              This is all just part of Apple's marketing strategy. Carefully calculated "leaks", "sneak peaks", and rumor-mongering. Even before the actual product comes out, you've heard so much of it already and they've succeeded in creating such a BIG buzz. That's the genius of Apple... not the device. It's really fun to play with the stupid people. :) Badass Apple!

                                      KJZ, 19 Sep 2012You should respect what people are giving and creating for ... moreOh, i respect the guys that created the iPhone, as much as i respect the guys that created the HTC G1 (coolest phone at that time), or the old-school WinMo phones few years ago. But where i stand, Apple has a lot of skilled people, just like Microsoft (or Google) has. I think we all like very much Apple's designs, and for that, we should thank Dieter Rams (Product designer for Braun and inspiration source for Jobs).
