The editors didn't like

  • If you have smaller than average hands then this is likely not for you
  • The S III is a little bit bigger than the S II but not as big as the Galaxy Note
  • So bear that in mind when deciding on your device
  • Design
  • Samsung's “Designed for Humans” tagline re
  • Agent Nayler
  • While the S3 has some of the best specs on the market
  • The casing feels slightly flimsy and to me the faux-brushed aluminium on the edges doesn't have the premium feel a phone of this calibre should have
  • Agent King
  • At only 133g
  • The S3 l
  • Lack of preloaded social apps
  • TouchWiz UI
  • Just doesn't cut it
  • WiFi bug
  • Poor reception and call quality
  • Lags despite stellar specs
  • Hyped up launch and marketing
  • Underwhelming actual experience
  • Poor integration of continuous trace input
  • Polycarbonate chassis feels cheap
  • Samsung's S Voice is a poor Siri clone
  • Android isn't as good as iOS
  • Google's Play store isn't as good as the App Store
  • Some interface ideas are a bit strange
  • The Galaxy S3's screen is too dim
  • And Samsung's Siri competitor
  • S Voice
  • Disappointed
  • Incredibly expensive
  • No extra internal storage options
  • Battery sub-par for 4G
  • TouchWiz interface can be confusing
  • Premium price
  • Subjective design
  • S Voice not optimised
  • Display could be brighter
  • Some minor software bugs
  • Plastic casing is lacklustre
  • Samsung extras like S Voice feel gimmicky
  • Design is a bit vanilla
  • It's nothing new or innovative
  • Touchsensitive buttons often end up being pressed accidentally
  • SVoice function nothing to write home about
  • Home button has slight lag
  • Some unnecessary proprietary apps
  • Feels a bit plasticky and cheap
  • Stock Android better than TouchWiz
  • Some features feel gimmicky
  • A downside to such a large handset is that one-handed operation can be awkward. Unless you own some large fingers
  • That is. Stretching your fingers from one of the device to another proves uncomfortable. Like Apple’s Siri
  • The Samsung Galaxy S3 has a voice assistant
  • . Here it’s called S Voice
  • Which in truth feels like a bit of a gimmick. It does work
  • But we’re not used to talking to speaking to
  • SVoice is disappointing
  • Few updates from first Galaxy S3.
  • Camera could be better SVoice not optimised

  • No dedicated multitasking key
  • Stock keyboard is a pain to use
  • HTC Sense and AOSP could be considered better than TouchWiz
  • S Voice is largely a gimmick.

  • Abstract:  Remember that story about Goldilocks and the three bears? The little tike broke into their house, gobbled up some porridge, tried out some chairs and then went and had a kip on all the beds. The naughty little sausage. But what’s “just right” for you e...

  • Really sharp, colourful display; Snapper is crammed with features; Quadcore processor; support for 4G.
  • SVoice is disappointing; Few updates from first Galaxy S3.
  • Samsung has not changed a lot from the original Galaxy SIII apart from of course the addition of 4G support. However, the Galaxy S3 LTE is still one of the best handsets of 2012...
