Kind of obvious, really, but I still think the S3 is really ugly

          I am a nokia fan, but actually I am already expecting that GS3 will be the best smartphone coz of tons of features provided by this device. But I hope this will serve as a motivating factor for other manufacturers to continue innovating (especially Apple who really made the most innovative JOKE phone this year, peace fanboys). I also hope that nokia will come back on track and make the competition more exciting the same goes for the other manufacturers. Good Days guys

            iXperia 4eva, 27 Feb 2013not samsung itself that got the award! it's samsung galaxy ... moreLol it's was not vote by gsmarena lol noob

            GSMa is a organization with many judge, engineer etc google it. S3 did not won for nothing. It's truly the best smartphone of 2012.

            Previous winner by the way

            2009 => iPhone 3Gs
            2010 => iPhone 4
            2011 => galaxy s2
            2012 => still the king for two year in a row Galaxy S3
            2013 => xperia z & htc one are tied for now. Apple, nokia & Samsung flagship are coming out later this year. This year will be really hard for Samsung to trepeat. If Samsung win for a third consecutive year I call that dynasty. But it will be hard for Samsung this year. The only thing I think that would give a easy victory to Samsung would be the bendable screen. I don't think it will come to S4.

            Ps: this is the greatest award that a smartphone can get in this world

                God, all of you guys are like some whinning babies. A supporter of another brand will never be convince that samsung won the award, and visa versa, a samsung supporter will feel samsung deserve it.

                Life goes on.... Move on....

                      I do agree with you, the Lumia 920 should've won. Not only because it has amazing performance, but it brings in innovation, I mean GS3 ? Same but updated Android which has been running around for years... !
                      Even HTC is starting to turn towards windows phone...
                      Android will eventually come to its end just like Symbian did.
                      And returning to the Lumia 920, it is just an amazing phone !

                        AnonD-9936, 27 Feb 2013Hence SAMSUNG got award lol !!!!!not samsung itself that got the award! it's samsung galaxy sIII

                        i can make a website and have a press conference and give an award to another brand too, honestly , this award shouldn't have been given to sIII... can't tell which brand or model but other would've deserve this award better than sIII, it could be from the same brand too.

                          Regedit, 27 Feb 2013Try this instead www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA0r7tc6V5s ... morewell, we're talking about the galaxy S III so dont change the topic, also the note2 aluminum edged. so more protective and the video poster even said so... and are u blind? iphone 5 suffered more in the display! u gotta be blind or biasing!!! damn it!,2 videos that clearly shows off that the sgs III's display went to nowhere!...

                          u may watch these two vids to stop your biasing! :
