The innards are not next gen cutting edge but I don't doubt the power of the quad core Exynos CPU & Mali GPU. It'll probably smoke most devices out there. I don't have any problem with pentile screen as I'm using a Galaxy Note whose screen I find lush.

For me the biggest disappointment is the physical design of the phone, too unadventurous. Its not ugly, just very boring. Also the plastic case is a bit disappointing.

Will I get one? Not now, perfectly happy with my Galaxy Note.

Nah....... a phone is just another tool to get things done with. No love...no hate....just function. A woman on the other hand is a whole lot more fun than a phone. Lol.

Fair enough. However I often get the impression that most users react in extremes; some state they hate the product and strongly focus on their flaws, and others defend it to extremes, becoming hostile when faults are mentioned.

Truth is, I do test stuff for a living and as such keep noticing that nothing is "perfect and hassle free". The iPhone is not a perfect choice for such people, it might be a perfect choice for people who don't scrutinize details or simply don't care.

In the same way, the SGS1 had serious flaws, as well as the SGS2 has flaws and as I'm sure the SGS3 will have (to a lesser degree I hope) - pointing at that does not mean that an iPhone is better, at best, it means that Quality Assurance matters.

There is no reason to tell people to get an iPhone just because they point at poor design decisions on Samsung/Android units, not to tell someone that an SGS would be perfect for them if they complain a lot about how their iPhone does this or that.

If they got their #$f$ right, the SGS3 has the chance to combine the best features of the SGS1 and 2 and avoid their major flaws. But that remains to be seen and tested.

well so much for every one saying it's the same 8MP in the S2.

[Galaxy S III General] TheUnkn0wn:
Ok, lets get a few things into perspective. I've read a lot of negative posts about this phone so lets go into a more technical analysis on the matter.

CPU : Exynos 4 Quad Core (1.4GHz)

For some reason people seem to think 1.4GHz vs the Tegra 3's 1.5GHz makes the Tegra a faster processor. Not true. Yes, the Tegra has a higher clock speed but performance wise the Exynos 4 at 1.4GHz can out perform it (due to its design). Also, people seem to think the A15 architecture would make a major difference. The A15 architecture was designed to increase power efficiency which is something the Exynos 4 has done by decreasing its dye from 45nm to 32nm (from SII to SIII) and with its nice 2100mAh battery I'm sure you will have all the battery power you need. (since it can be removed I'm sure you will be able to upgrade the battery in the future, something you cannot do with the HTC One X)

Design

What's wrong with plastic? Although you may think plastic is "cheap" it may very well help increase your phones durability since plastic is flexible. Drop a plastic phone on the floor and you will be left with minor scratches, drop a metal and glass phone on the floor and you will be left with a malformed frame, shattered glass and internal damage from the shock not being absorbed. I would also like to know what's wrong with curves? A curved design will fit snug in your hand. As for the colour schemes, I guess they can be left for discussion. Although the pebble blue looks more black than anything.

I quite like its sleek design.

Screen

HD Super AMOLED is only possible on pentile displays due to the major resolution change. If the SIII was to have a AMOLED+ display it would not be able to brag about its 720p display since at HD resolutions a Plus display is not possible. AMOLED+ offers improved detail, but at 720p that detail gain would be minimal which basically means the HD Super AMOLED displays are far superior than the AMOLED Plus Displays.

Camera

Why are people complaining about it being 8MP instead of 12MP, the 8MP pictures it takes can be as good if not better than a 12MP image taken from another device. Why? Mega-pixel is the resolution of the image. A crisp 8MP image would look far better than a grainy 12MP image, the actual quality of the image depends on the CCD and I'm pretty sure that would of been upgraded since the SII.

RAM

Oh please... when will you ever use 1GB of RAM...

That's about it. So what you have there is a durable phone with the best screen, camera and processor currently available.
[Galaxy S III General] thebobp:
My Nexus has no "right side up" (aside from when calling, I suppose, and bluetooth headsets are convenient for that); I can pick it up and use it any which way I want, and the navigation bar will rearrange accordingly. That's how flexible soft-buttons are.

what is pentile where everyone talk about, sorry maybe i missed it.
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
People have to understand that every phone wont look alike, if the previous gen phone was good in design then there is no law to carry forward the same design to next gen.
[Galaxy S III General] audino:
Compared to what?! Thinkpad W520???

Comparing to One x

Screen = draw, even if its larger it amoled against lc

CPU = Win, Exynos 4 Quad Core (1.4GHz)

RAM = draw

Design = Fail

SD-card = Win

Battery = Win

Camera = WIN WIN WIN, have you ever seen a fullhd recorded video from one x??? Even my S2 records better videos...

No manufacturer will make a perfect phone for obvious reasons.

Yup, it's everything I hoped for and then some because I didn't expect the Software to be as good as it is, though that is only based on demos.

1GB of ram.... more than enough

The CPU benched as the fastest

The screen looks great.

[Galaxy S III General] wwsong:
I will too!
[Galaxy S III General] don2012:
I was expecting )

1-ultra amoled hd 3d display

2- near 2gb ram because many games and apps is future will require more and more ram.

3-better shape design.

4-well camera has been improved even it is 8mp.

5-hd resolution ......

Others were fulfilled basically the software features are awesome but design and shape is pathetic and as for hardware nothing is new or special I believe it depends what people expected from then .....

Ok wait WORST PART#### Samsung galaxy s3 featuring exynos is bad As sense 2.1/30.3.5/4.0.+

Would never be ported As it will be impossible reason - exynos chip does not support sense we would need to remake the ui ....

I will stick to S2!!!

[Galaxy S III General] xlm13x:
Me also agree with this, i was willing to buy s3 but after what i see in launch event i changed my mind :D i will wait for better device. Cpu and ram is best but screen and design really sucks.
[Galaxy S III General] Backe888:
Thought about buying, but with the new size, i wont.

I wanted a Galaxy S Series, not the Note Series.

Apart from that it has everything i might wish for, i even like the design. But the size .... no way.

I'm sick of this prick... came trolling on my thread too

[Galaxy S III General] p3rljam:
This guy gets it. He isn't t being sold by the bull**** hype. I just wish the rest of you could see that. I had a similar argument about the pen tile displays, I have the S1 and my friend the S2, at that resolution, it just doesn't matter, and I really don't want an LCD to kill my battery. Everything this phone has is better than my S1, so it isn't a tough sale for me. Besides, all I care about is the Wolfson, sure, the HTC sensation technically out performed in line out, but I need everything to be good. Maybe you guys should only buy every other generation so you aren't so disappointed. :-)
[Galaxy S III General] ky0nkyon:
For those in the US:

If we get the s4 cpu instead of the quad core, would you still get one? Considering how the QCExynos is supposedly faster and has better battery life.
[Galaxy S III General] wonsanim:
I Plan to Order one:cool:
[Galaxy S III General] :
Mines ordered, One X Tegra version is rubbish battery wise. Can't get through a full day on one charge, brothers was the same (he sold his) I'm selling mine too. Galaxy S3 is my next phone.
[Galaxy S III General] nikzDHD:
I'll disagree with this. HOX battery life is fine. Can easily get through a day with normal usage. Roughly around 2 hours screen on time. With push emails and streaming and 3G on mine.

Will be good to see how the S3 battery will fare as well.
[Galaxy S III General] funb0b:
Yeah this is what put me off, my sis's one was terrible but it has improved a bit lately or so she tells me, either that or she's got used to it.

What really worries me is in 12/18 months time when the batteries start falling over, not going to be as easy as putting a new one in!!!!
[Galaxy S III General] Pancakes_Gio:
Not paying to buy a new one, because this phone is a joke, it doesn't even look good (this is the first time I talk about the phone's look) it looks plasticky and the home button is all the way down, and pentile?

My researches:

Only increased 0.2 GHz CPU

Camera just the same

Screen pentile

UI looks like cr**

Features: OK

So I prefer actually the galaxy nexus

And the UI looks kind of Timescape-ish

[Galaxy S III General] :
You consider 2 hours screen time good? That's woeful. 3/4 plus is normal. Expect the GS3 to hit over 4 hours at least, got that time on my GS2 so GS3 should fair better. Just don't like what I'm getting from my One X. Back to Samsung for me but each to their own :)
[Galaxy S III General] olyloh6696:
Yeah, sorry I have to agree with the Guy above, 2 hours sounds terrible :(

[Galaxy S III General] Basil3:
Every time I read about someone having really bad battery life with the one x I think to myself, "oh no, not another one".... then I realise it's just recklesslife85 again :D

For the record, last time I bothered to check my battery stats, I had 50% battery after 7 hours with 2 hours screen on time, 30 mins streaming music and 30 mins voice calls, and it will only get better.
[Galaxy S III General] :
Always here to please :-) I must have a dud battery cause I can't reach anywhere bear what others are quoting :-(
[Galaxy S III General] randombirt:
I get about 4 hours

I constantly have wifi, mobile network, in fact everything on.

Maybe you have something else using your battery?

[Galaxy S III General] tbong777:
GREAT Device.....No need for a tablet. My dilemma is I like the SGS III but will the lesser screen size be a deal breaker. Have to hold one first. Wish my Note had those rounded corners for easier pocket carrying.

People want to operate their pones with one hand. I find it easier to use two hands on a much larger keyboard. The additional screen real estate is very nice as well. I will wait to read the rumor mill of the Note II. Unless I catch a good deal on a used SGS 3 to try first

Definitely going to buy SGS3. Was thinking of upgrade to HOX but apart from better screen and nicer designed which are easily outdated within 6months from now, I think I buy for better features and having more flexibility to change the battery anytime and add sd card as needed. I don't see why we should support HTC moves to non removable battery and no sd card slot. Kudos to Sammy for maintaining Android moto : freedom to choose and tweak as we like :D
[Galaxy S III General] Martin5000:
Already on preorder :)

I've already got a SGSIII preordered :) Now I've just got to get rid of the old SGSII (and DHD, X10, iPhone4, TouchHD, Touch Pro etc.. girlfriend will be happy).

[Galaxy S III General] Eodun:
Yes, for sure! My HD2's screen broke just a bit too early, but I'm going for the SGS3 the day it comes.

All I can say is I am glad I did not buy a one x with it's non true IPS SLCD2 screen.

I am still thinking about it, but I think I will buy a S3. The non RGB screen is holding me back.
[Galaxy S III General] ZankerH:
Definitely considering it. If the screen was 5.3" like the Galaxy Note, I'd have it on launch day. As it is, I'll probably go try it out first and see how the smaller size suits me.
[Galaxy S III General] CatThief:
I'm still thinking this is a good phone and is certainly an upgrade from what I currently have, yet the more reviews I read from actual hands-on use (like the latest from Engadget) have me wanting to see it in action before committing to a purchase.

EDIT: Have to add this... if I decide not to buy this phone, I WON'T be buying the HTC One S. The non-removable battery plus no SD card slot broke the deal.
[Galaxy S III General] Marlinn:
Still waiting for the Padfone, but if it gets delayed again, I'll probably just get a S3 :)
[Galaxy S III General] Darkjamzi:
LOL

it makes me LOL on how many parrots we have on this forum, all repeating the same nonsense over and over again. The SGS III sucks, looks ugly, GPU is slow, CPU small update, screen sucks...etc etc etc.. When you then look at their signature, most of them have an HTC one X. :rolleyes:

Seems to me these are people who wanted a new phone and could no longer wait. They made a quick comparisson that went like this:

SGS: 1.4 GHz / HTC: 1.5 GHz so HTC is faster

SGS: pentile / HTC: non pentile so HTC is better

SGS: 8 MP cam / HTC: 8 MP cam so same

So convinced the HTC was better they went ahead and bought it. THen weeks later the benchmarks roll in.......the SGS demolished the HTC....WTF they think :eek:

So to feel less sorry for themselves for maing this huge mistake, they start trolling the forums to try and get as many people to make the same mistake as they made....:o

Get real people, the SGS smokes the competition, can't wait for mine to arrive end of month :cool:

Will I buy one?

Clearly Samsung took a new direction here. Instead of leading the Apple oposition in terms of tech, they opted for the designed for humans thingy. I get it, Samsung in gunning for Apple customers. Thats fine, but I'm not gonna use half of those services. Give me a cutting edge powerhouse in a classic design. What Samsung delivers is a marketing stunt in what apears to be a finger magnet Iphone 3GS remisent design.

Many will buy it, I'll probably keep looking. Then again, maybe it'll grow on me.. :)
[Galaxy S III General] Konpon96:
Battery - I think 2100 mAh is good, but enormous display may eat whole juice, especially because it's not Super Amoled Plus.

Camera - 8 Mpx is enough, as long as they improve quality and add HDR.

CPU - Very good, Exynos are known of their great performance.

RAM - 1GB is perfectly fine for CM9 without Samsung bloatware.

LTE - I don't mind.

NFC - Very good.

16/32/64GB internal memory - good

Software - I don't mind, if I had it, I would hop to CM9 experimental builds as soon as possible.

Design, screen size and materials phone is made of - THE MOST EPIC FAIL I'VE SEEN THIS YEAR IN IT WORLD. If only they added touch buttons like in Nexus, it would be fine(or sensors at least), but PHYSICAL HOME BUTTON? And only white and blue? As I said - epic fail.

I don't know whether to buy it. Hardware is great, but design ruins everything. It's almost as big as Note and it's oval shape is disguising. I must compare it in store with my Galaxy S II and HTC One X. It would be also good to see benchmarks.
