Samsung I9300 Galaxy S III review: S to the third

20 May 2012
Today is no ordinary day for the GSMArena test track, which is about to see the Bugatti Veyron of smartphones do the rounds in an attempt to beat the lap record of its predecessor. Samsung have spared no effort to protect the Galaxy S III against any odds.

Is S3 already out in the market? the Review is fast. unlike other handsets,. especially nokia takes a couple of months to have the review. Look at 808 Pureview, not even the preview has been conducted.

            AnonD-10064, 21 May 2012another review for the 2nd time,,truly a samsung fanboy,i h... moreWhy do people like you just repeat parrot fashion what they read elsewhere on the internet without doing any research? What technology have they copied (a lot of it is theirs anyway)? How is upgrading their phones lacking in originality as everyone does it every year anyway?
            This is as good a review as you'll find anywhere in my opinion,if there are any questions it doesn't answer then they probably aren't worth asking.

                    Great phone but the design is letdown and deal breaker.

                    I'll go for LG 4X HD same features,better screen and looks stunning after all

                      One X has better screen and it looks so much better. only advantage for s3 is sd card and removable battery. one x make first picture in 0.7 dec, s3 in 1.5sec, and i also love smart led flash in x which makes really good photos in bad conditions. And sense also looks much better than touchwize, HTC all the way for me.

                            ' There's also a 2 megapixel front-facing camera for video-calls'
                            Thisvshould be corrected it's 1.9 megapixel. Dunno why Samsung took away 0.1 but they did.

                                  Awesome phone but, the appearance matters at first sight. For many people it is a make or break phenomenon. I am a diehard fan of Samsung Galaxy S series. However, I feel, it's the time Samsung seriously needs to think over construction material. They should at least use polycarbonate body if they want to keep the weight in control by not using metal body. Am currently using 4s after using SGS II for eleven months and seriously impressed with elegence and premium feel of 4s, whereas, equally depressed with iOS limitations. Ok Samsung, though you have not met my expectation by using all plastic, I am still going to buy SGS III. Please don't disappoint your customers in SGS IV.

It's undoubtedly cheaper and sexier. I'm getting mine next week, I'm very excite :-) !!!
