Sumsung and Apple are the top of the tree because their stuff works. All these techno. junkies are assessing everything by specs.only. Do you want to have something that works or something that has nice specs.? The 8mp camera has a bigger sensor, it has an add. memory slot, and a bigger battery. This thing is a work of engineering genius. Some people are never happy.

Maskakos, 04 May 2012So many people are trushing the S3 as a minor update and no... moreI´m with you in everything you have said also that i will continue with my SII for a long time.
Was i expecting more about SIII? Yes for sure, but it´s the best smarphone that actually can be found in the market. And i think the desing its ok, like all the rest, not revolutionary but i like it.

Hello LG, Samsung Goodbye, My Desu after so much they expect smartphone comes with a blue or white, has holy patience! And Cortex A9, well, really does not! A note: I loved the GPU is actually booming in SGS3, yes! Motorola Razr Maxx! Battery with 3.300, yes LG Memory with 2GB!Samsung yuck!

I have a SGS and i love it. When the SII came out I wanted to buy it but I decided not to do that. so I waited for this mother****** and boom. I was really.......reaaaaally disappointed. I cant name a thing that looks so ugly, and oh my gaaad! look at the back "am vomiting right now". Did they built it in a cave? cuz am sure they did not see any of the beautiful concepts that some guys have created, and that wasnt enough they put a non practical 4.8 screen on it. WTF samsung?

This is how does it look? Prototypes was 100% greater. Now SIII is only white & violet! Where is black? This phone looks a lot as Mini 2.

that's why i like samsung very much. dont mind weather its a plastic or glass, htc must learn from samsung to make a powerful and innovative device.
a beautiful design will not make a powerful device.
Kudos to samsung GS3...powerful and innovative phone ever....Take my money....

So many people are trushing the S3 as a minor update and not a true successor of the S2.
The Highlights of S3 as I saw them
1)Biggest Battery of all phones (not including razer MAXX witch is a brick)
2)Best ARM chip to date
3)SD card Slot
4)First phone with Gorilla Glass 2 (not tested but the back is also supposed to be scrach resistant)
5)Removable Battery
6)Multicolour LED notificator
7)First production device with wireless charger
8)50GB free online storage
9)Eye track
Many of you do not like touchwiz but it adds alot of fanctionality to the phone and that for me is more important. Every day tasks are much easier than with stock (same goes with HTC's sence 4.0)
Many can say it does not feel premium but with Gorilla Glass 2 and the coating of back if i can get rid of any sort of cover it's a winner.
As for the design... True is's a BIG factor. You can't get around all day with a devise that you don't like. It's called Personal Taste. Tbh i was hoping for something better but I actually like it.
Keeping jugdement for camera until i can test it or see a good review
The 4.8'' screen for some is good for other not.. I would honestly prefer to keep at 4.3'' and get a smaller overall phone.
And last for display. Would love a "plus" but It's still one of the best displays out there.
If someone is in the market for an TOP android phone this is the best there is. Only competitors are the ONE X and Sony S but still falls short, allthough they are better looking and thats it's HUGE advantage (and i don't blame anyone for choosing one of them because of that)
As for the iPhone. IOS is a great platform. 4S is a greate phone. But it all comes down to personal preference. I love my android GS2. For the 1st time I feel i don't need anything better so i won't be upgrading for another year. Maybe it's a Nokia WP. Maybe a samsung S4 or even a iPhone 5. But people be objective and don't trush the S3.
It's not perfect but it's the best android phone so far.
Sorry for the long Post.

I think this is a lot better than the One X. All the HTC fans could only point out is the ugly design of the S3 compared to the One X. But let's talk about features: Does One X have new Eye tracking, improved voice command (S voice), Smart Stay, Smart alert, pop-up play features? No. If I would go for designs, I would pick Xperia S. If I would go for Camera, i'd choose Nokia 808. For performance and new cool features, i'd take S3. My point is that there's nothing on the One series that would stand out from the rest of the competition nowdays. A few months from now, I bet Sony and a handful of other Samsung products will come out that's gonna be similar with the One X.
