          AnonD-52269, 04 May 2012PenTile, 8mpix, plastic body. In 2012. Samsung sucks.Yup, all that performance, but wrapped in ugliness. As much as I appreciate power, I still love my eyes too, so HTC One X for me.

                  android-based phone manufacturer are just upgrading the processor and ram. but still sluggish when in use.unlike iPhone, it only comes with 512mb of ram and 1ghz dual core processor but still rocks!everyone,go for an iPhone, you'll surely love it.android phone become sluggish over time.and you need to change your phone every 6months to be updated.

                        This cellphone is powerful. See how it beats the Tegra running One X in the benchmarks.

                        Processor and speed: SIII wins by far. RAM could have been more. A lot is expected from this phone. Hope the Samsung doesn't regret the 1GB RAM. (android jellybean, will be really resource demanding, and 1GB, might not just be enough)

                        Camera: The PureView will win this one, and amongst droids, it will be the Sony Xperia S. But obviously, the extra bit of pixels need not mean much, and true samples are awaited before a proper judgement.

                        Display: Here the SIII sucks. They say the matrix is visible. This is 2012 flagship of Samsung. Not expected. Here again, the Galaxy Nexus or the Xperia S will win.

                        Build: This is a debatable issue, but I personally do not like the design of the SIII. The white color is still okay, and pretty nice, but who looks in to it when the SIII can do so much for you? The Nexus

                          One thing to remember many of the negative comments are coming from trolls of Apple, Nokia, Motorola, Sony, HTC etc.

                          One thing I know for sure no matter what nonsense is posted here S3 will be Samsung best seller and will easily out sell the S2.

                          What more do you want? lol
