        OMG guys! its not about how powerful the hardware is or benchmark results, just look at nvidia, they have always had the worst hardware but have had great software support with many games being optimised specifically for tegra. it means that the siii could have 10x the power but without software to back it up it is meaningless. also the mali is notorious for having compatibility issues.

                    Why i never interest with samsung is because their design practically joke. This s3 clearly have something inside, but outside? Thats really look like a crap plastic toys! Can sammy design team at least make a better design? And oh yeah, never thing bigger screen is necessary as i prefer tab for big screen. I think 3.5-4 inch the maximal screen size for phone. Buy tablet if u want big screen. There will be atime, big chunky gadget like this will be a joke in the future as people will develop more compact design, such amorph technology.. but at leasst, specs awesome sammy! But not in appearance. Bulky and plastic!

                      horrible design, i am an iPhone user and i have a Desire HD as well, but i would never upgrade to SG3. i think HTC One X is way better than SG3......benchmark doesnt count everything.

                          JAG, 04 May 2012I agree the design of s3 isnt best.. But it beats HTC ONE X... moreWell for starters, the screen is the second most important thing on a phone after the phone calls, and the HTC ONE X screen smashes the SGS3 screen. Pentile hey. Enjoy that!

                            I am disappointed. So much hype for this. This should be named galaxy Sll_s or some thing.

                                I don't think Samsung are pooey :)
                                I just hate the way everyone is brainwashed into thinking these large phones are better but they are actually just larger phones. Samsung would prefer everyone walked around with a tablet stuck to their ear.
                                Real progress is held back if it's all about marketing to get people to accept low improvement innovation. There was huge progress made a few years ago to put a lot of tech into a small device. This industry is now becoming a bit of a joke.

                                  "The screen has grown to an impressive 4.8"
                                  Impressive?

                                  It is far more impressive to fit more technology into a smaller size. It is easy to fit more functionality into a larger size.
