[Galaxy S III General] touness69:
Yeah indeed.. but I didn't get the "sharper detail" part since it's using a Pentil screen instead of a classic RGB one on the HOX (!)
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
I don't know how to explain this yet, but look at mobile-reviews preview.

http://mobile-review.com/review/image/samsung/galaxy-s3-fl/display/photo-high/display03.jpg

Look at the detail in the cats fur on the forehead region and tail. There is also a picture of a bunch of pencils and you can see a difference there too.

My guess is that the screen being a bit larger, from far away you can just see a little bit more detail. But if you brought your eyes 3 or 4 inches away from the screen you may possibly see pixelation in the SGS3.

So I think when they say detail, they mean in pictures. They're not talking about Pixelization up close.
[Galaxy S III General] MaskedMagi:
If you look at the Stuff review and go to the screen section, you'll notice the picture comparison showing a tree. The leaves are noticeably clearer and crisper on the S3's screen. Thats quite a good example.

Having watched identical videos on both phones running at their same time, I have to say they then S3's screen is just that little bit crisper and more detailed.
[Galaxy S III General] thebobp:
In my opinion it is the opposite (until iphone 5 comes out it is either high end android phones or wp7) hence my request.
[Galaxy S III General] Toss3:
Perceived sharpness is not only limited to resolution, but contrast as well. The SGS3 has an almost infinite contrast so the perceivable difference between two pixels on the display would be much clearer than on a One X, thus making the display appear sharper.
[Galaxy S III General] ph00ny:
You've nailed it

Contrast allows you to differentiate the textures a bit more
[Galaxy S III General] rovex:
Absolutely does, its the same with a properly calibrated TV screen as well, the better the blacks the more detail you will get, AMOLEDs seem much better in that regard. All the side-by-side pictures ive seen against the One X shows the S3 as having much more detail.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Good job. Too bad the HOX fans will only go by microscope test... I had an argument with one yesterday and all he could say were that the comparison images were BS.
[Galaxy S III General] falconeight:
The HOX has a better screen, looks nicer, and has better build quality.
[Galaxy S III General] Chicken Nugget(s):
Too bad no one actually looked at the 2 screens themselves instead of relying on online images... Afterall you're not gonna look at your phone through a camera ;)

For example, my old phone's look much worse on camera than in real life, doesn't mean it's not excellent though :)
[Galaxy S III General] DocRambone:
So true, had chance to play with a white sgs 3 for few hours: the build quality is as good as the one x, screens very sharp and i could not find any flaws.

Samsung has made the best phone up to this date :)
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Yes but look at all the reviews I posted up. The majority of them say the same thing, except for endgadget. I'm not saying that one is definitely better than the other but the pentile at 300 dpi will has pixelization at normal viewable distance is not true.

I'm looking forward to compare both the hox and SGS3 in a few days.
[Galaxy S III General] rovex:
You posted that in another thread as well. Its simply not the case, as review after review say. Ill give you 'looks' as its subjective, the rest is not.

Great review but he spoils it in the end by becoming an isheep and goes yapping about how great the iphone 5 can be :mad::mad:

But overall neat job done ... clearly thoroughly reviewed :D

Why cant we just have fair reviewers i wonder !!
[Galaxy S III General] falconeight:
You are quoting what someone else is saying.

I don't know if i'd call significant screen ripple with normal touch and backlight flickering better build quality, but maybe some people think that is awesome characteristics.

We know the S3 is very well built, all the reviews say so and its made of the same material as the HOX. The screen is a matter of taste, each have strengths and weaknesses, but the S3 screen is better for video and image detail, thats not up for debate.
[Galaxy S III General] shawn_pro:
Hi Guys, i have been searching in all unboxing video and review videos but no one actually opened the S3 stock headset.

All i know is that the headset does have play/pause , call end/answer and volume up/down buttons.

But i would like to know if the headset is capable of changing the tracks (prev/next) as well.

Not sure if anyone posted it before, AndroidAuthority review is up.

[Galaxy S III General] Brockg:
"Honestly, i’m speechless. I love everything about the Samsung Galaxy S3. It’s modern, it’s human and it’s closest to being perfect that I think a smartphone could ever be. To see Android having come this far, leaves me in awe. It’s display is the best I have ever witnessed – better than the Galaxy Nexus, HTC One X, iPhone 4S, or that of any mobile device I have ever laid eyes on. Its speed and fluidity of operation are unrivaled, and near instantaneous. Despite its relativley large size, it is remarkably well balanced in the hand, and feels fantastic to the touch. It is, in my opinion, the best Android device – no – the best Smartphone – ever created."

LOL
[Galaxy S III General] georaldc:
I love reading reviews about something I am very eager to get, but this is just an example of a review I hate reading. I mean, it was all just "this phone is a gift from the mobile Gods" text.

One thing I want to point out though in that review. About video recording, he mentions:

IIRC, my Samsung Wave when flashed with bada 2.0 could do this as well
[Galaxy S III General] Spybreak:
Stuff like that basically makes the reviewer loose all credibility. Even the iPhone 3GS could touch to focus while recording, back in 2009.
[Galaxy S III General] touness69:
I think he was talking about refocusing with touch when recording not before recording, which not every phone is capable of
[Galaxy S III General] Vibrant03:
i just checked out the HTC one x in person, the white one... i don't understand the whole hype about its design.. LOL.. the white galaxy note looks wayyyyyy better imho..

the whole unibody plastic going on screams WRONG to me.. lol

and i've always thought that the front screen of the phone protrudes like that of the nokia lumia 900 with its curvacious design, on pictures it does look nice!... but in person no, it looks like any other htc phones to me.. overrated for its design,it's just my opinion.. even the white epic touch 4g looks better, as in way better for me..

---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------

the best review i've read so far is the one by vlad from the verge.. really in depth , really good review.. except that the overall review didn't seem to match the score, he seemed to be really impressed with the phone , but still ended up with only 8.5? LOL , it's ok as long as you read his review , you'll be impressed too..

also about the camera , he complained and implied as if the camera doesn't have a touch-to-focus feature.. not sure if the phone really does have a touch-to-focus feature or not..?

the review was good , he meticulously pointed out the goods and the bads of the phone where mostly pros though, it seemed.. when he talked about the folders and the way it's different from the stock ICS experience.. "don't ask me why it is the way it is" he said, it was funny.. of course the folders are like that ding*apple*ding. lol

he writes really well.. good writer!
[Galaxy S III General] georaldc:
Which is, just like I said, what the Wave is capable of when updated
[Galaxy S III General] oXunknownXo:
It does.
[Galaxy S III General] 380AU:
I thought it takes an instant pic if you touch the screen while recording?
[Galaxy S III General] georaldc:
Based on some videos I've seen, there's an icon to take shots at the upper right corner of the screen while video recording

[Galaxy S III General] gavinfabl:
Picked a white S3 up yesterday from Carphonewarehouse. They took my Samsung Note as a trade in too, sold me a superb case, and fitted a Zagg Invisible Shield screen protector.

Both my wife and I thought the S3 looked stunning. She wants one too.

I am so pleased I got one. It is miles better than the Note. Samsung clearly spent a lot of time making this great. Before the Note I had an iPhone 4S. I can honestly say the S3 destroys the iPhone 4S and anything else.

So far. Camera is astonishingly good. Audio quality is smashing. The software has so many useful extras.

The overall feel of the device is so polished and complete.

I must say, this is the BEST phone I've ever had ! The picture as everyone has said, doesn't do any justice. It looks really elegant and nice to hold, not to mention it's not that big considering the screen size. As for the software, this is the first time I hesitate flashing a new ROM, maybe given more time I will but for now, I'm quite pleased with how the stock ROM performs.

Amazing how a PHONE can be reviewed with no discussion about the audio quality as a communication device?
[Galaxy S III General] georaldc:
I find it more amazing how there is quite a division in terms of opinion when it comes to this phone. Majority of the reviews praise the s3 a lot, yet a lot of regular users are complaining about ram and multitasking issues.

Now I've never had an Android device before but is the ram thing really an issue, or are people just trying to overload the phone until it cries?

Well i just got mine yesterday. By far it's the beat phone i have ever used. Some people complain about the RAM. My video player, Youtube, Netflix work fine without any shutting down.

I am a little surprised here i tried to open multiple applications likePower amp, converteripad, Chrome Beta, Internet Browser........................etc and then i would open Active application tab to my surprise i see only the last two opened applications rest all are closed. I am on XXALEF. Is this happening only for me ?? I don't know if that is a fix or something for the free RAM.

I don't see this as problem though. I have been using this phone for a day now and i don't have any problems.
[Galaxy S III General] vasra:
Wait for Connect (German mobile phone test magazine) test.

They will do a full suite of objective tests incl. sound quality, radiation, radio sensitivity, battery run time, etc.

They are the only source that I really trust for things like sound quality. They have a dedicated lab and an engineering testing staff with more than a decade of testing experience.

let's face it, most bloggers reviewing gear have very little time or understanding to really go deep into the performance and features of the phone. So, they'll do a video review of the basics and at best do some camera samples and a battery run time test. Other than that, the review is 99% opinions.
[Galaxy S III General] nickwarn:
I my self have never noticed any problems with ram not being enough. But i have never acctually tried to overload the phone. I play games and use flash in browser and have never had any issues. But i start the game i want to play when i feel like it, not when it would be fit for testing ram memory. So if you just use your phone as it was made for im having a hard time to see how this could be a problem.

[Galaxy S III General] :
^^ GSMArena, also very detailed.
[Galaxy S III General] robbiekhan:
Now to end all questions regarding colours and shades :p

Yes, the home button on the blue is definitely blue/purple compared to the darker, almost black/brushed look in dim lighting whereas in normal or daylight it looks a pale shade of dark grey/black with a hint of blue under the glaze.

Both white and blue do have a different shade from an extreme angle from either side. The white is less obvious of course.

I reckon this new blue is more of a tonic/metallic blue as opposed to the pebble blue which was definitely more purple/lighter blue.

I've applied the screen protector which came free with the Rock case and managed to get one or two air bubbles and it doesn't cover the entire front, there's 1mm or so margin around the edge, basically where the rounded bevel starts on the glass. So be wary when buying cheaper screen protectors.

The Zagg Invisible Shield covers the entire glass area nicely.

I've got the C-Pen as well (thanks to mobilefun.co.uk) so will do a quick update on that and post a review after a few rounds on Draw Something :p
[Galaxy S III General] ASD007:

A very good comparison between the one x and s3.
[Galaxy S III General] radeonxt:
yup a very good one actually.

first time i was never bored with a long review video.

not because the reviewer's a woman but because her tone is not monotonous or funny like those other review vids.

she's very good in hiding the fact throughout the review that she already prefers one phone. she just fails to hid it in one instance where when the sgs3 wins in a category her tone sounds suprised and coupled with "i'm actually surprised..."

this isn't the type of bias where we can look at it in a negative way because she really was trying to be neutral, unlike some other sites that bash the other in order for this unit to look good.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batorun.:
Hello.

I have a problem. When I bought my SGS2, I had a branded software (GINGERBREAD). I decided to update it to ICS. Everything went well, but I played a little bit with Android and messed up some things. My power screen did not appear. Phone was just turning off, while I was holding the power button, instead of showing up the power screen, where I could be able to turn off the flight mode for example. Simply, it was just straightly turning off. And I did not have lockscreen. When I pressed the lock key, the screen just got dark, and, when I pressed it again, the screen went on, without the lock screen to tap and move. It just took me straightly to the screen I had had before. I decided to wipe everything, but it did not help. I searched the Net and found my branded ROM, that I seemingly had pre-installed on my phone. After flashing I hoped everything to go well. Unfortunately, it did not solve the problem. I could not even make a call or access the internet. It said, that I do not have access to the network and asked me to put my sim card in, when I had it done. That was weird. I tried to install KI3 ROM, that I found on the net. It restored my Android to 2.3.5 and fixed the problems. But now, when I try to update my Android to ICS, the problems appear again. I just got stuck on 2.3.5 and I do not see any working way to update my Android.

What is funny, even after wiping, on the home screen, when the phone should ask me to type my google account to synchronize and all that things, it just takes me straightly to the home screen. It looks like the data about my account is saved somewhere on PC, and even the wipe does not seem to delete the data. That is rediculous. But this is about ICS only. Gingerbread is OK.

If you could, give me some real working links. I might used some damaged ROMs or something like that. I do not know, I have no clue. I've been trying to fix that since I got the problem, so I am really hopeless.

Thanks in advance.
