Samsung Galaxy S III Jelly Bean review: Bread and butter

1 October 2012
The official rollout of the Galaxy S III Jelly Bean update has finally started. In the next few weeks it should land on just about every Exynos-powered S III unit out there, letting it have a taste of the latest and greatest from Android...

                                Why does this review include press release type untrue statements about Google Now?
                                You just can't say that Google Now can do all that stuff. It may do some of that stuff for some users but you can't say that Google Now can redirect you around traffic jams when Google does not even recognise many streets that were added or removed in the last 50 years and as far as traffic goes how can it recognise traffic congestion in the last half hour when it can't tell that a fallen building from an earthquake has blocked a street for the last 1 and a half years.

                                Android continually directs me to USA businesses, sites and cities. I need to type in my country into every navigation search even though my location is enabled.

                                I highly doubt that Google Now will actually be intuitive for anyone outside of the US. Google have series problems in delivering a global product.

                                  android any day is the best because of freedom open os that can be rooted for better firmware not like lumia 900 which won't have better than limited wp7! so no bluetooth transfare is coming, and also jellybean is smoother with a longer battery life ! it has 60fps ui animations, screen video record and quality games and apps, hen ios and then 3rd grade windows!!!
