Samsung's S-Features
As well as the ergonomic shape and the larger screen
Make for an amazing bit of futuristic technology
Agent Nayler
Samsung's own 1.4GHz Exynos processor can handle anything you throw at it. I like the carefully chosen new features
Including S-Voice commands
Direct call
Smart Alert and my personal favourite - Pop up play

With its 4.8-inch screen
The Galaxy is a bit of a beast. But don’t let its size fool you into think it’s a cumbersome thing. The Galaxy S3 is slim
Light and feels great to hold. Into the nitty gritty of its performance
The Samsung Galaxy S3 is blisteringly quick. Webpages take just a few seconds to load up. The Galaxy S3 is one of the fastest Android phones around
If not the fastest. The 4.8-

Superior browsing experience
TouchWiz
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

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
Large and unwieldy
Smart Stay feature failed to work consistently
Not cheap
Packed with features but quality varies
No HDMI connection
Loudspeaker is muffled very easily
No dedicated multitasking key
Stock keyboard is a pain to use
HTC Sense and AOSP could be considered better than TouchWiz
This is not an in-depth lab-test comparison. I know that you want the bottom line and most of you probably didn't reach this far. There are many things to consider above the image quality, and that's the camera settings, manual controls, applications and ...
Super AMOLED 4.8 inch display The display of 720 x 1280 pixels Super AMOLED 4.8 inch diagonal makes a great tool for browsing and multimedia use. Colors are vivid, contrast is good. Responds instantly to commands. Finally it is a pleasure to use, Batter
Case material & Designed The biggest negative aspect that I see on Galaxy S III is related to the plastic case model. It is very thin and on top of that it's too bright and shiny. Any trace of fingers remain visible and unpleasant, TouchWiz and bugs Alth
There's no doubting the Samsung Galaxy S3 is technologically the top dog at the moment. It's screen is dazzling, its processor incredibly fast and its battery life is better than most. Add in extras such as a microSD slot, NFC and wireless charging and yo...
Speedy LTE connectivity, Good overall performance, Increased 2GB RAM, Comes with Android 4.1 outofthebox, Good battery life
Slightly expensive, Not much of an upgrade from the Galaxy S III
As you can see, the Samsung Galaxy S III LTE and the Galaxy S III are alike in many ways. That is to say, if you already have the latter, there's little point in updating to the LTE variant. Plus, there's the Android 4.1 update heading in the Galaxy S III...
Someone told me that the Year of the Dragon would be a lucky year for me. I didn't believe it, until the other Friday when I was chosen to be one of the three lucky winners of a Samsung Galaxy S III at its product launch by SMART Communications.Having use...
Abstract: LTE offers users faster speeds and, while LTE coverage in Singapore is still patchy and not all telcos offer comprehensive islandwide coverage, more phone manufacturers are offering LTE versions of their top phones.Samsung's Galaxy SIII, which reached the...
There is no doubt about it. The Samsung Galaxy S3 is the superphone to beat. It sits on top of the smartphone hierarchy, with the HTC One X, and to a certain extent, the iPhone 4S, merely in its shadows. The Samsung Galaxy S3 has the hardware chops to bac...
â— Top-notch performance, â— Great camera, â— Quad-core processor, â— NFC & WiFi Direct put to good use, â— Good battery life, â— S Voice is pretty usable, â— Free 50GB DropBox account for 2 years
â— Still pricey, â— Glossy finish makes it slippery, â— Some gimmicky features
With the launch of the Galaxy S3, we noticed that Samsung is slowly inching towards the cloud and adding more soft features into their devices. They've already proven they're really good at making their own hardware so adding a more compelling ecosystem (...

If there's one thing I realized doing reviews like this is that you can't just limit your perspective to the present. You also have to take a look at the product in relation to the next few years. Other than being an outstanding smartphone today, the Gala...

Abstract: One of the most awaited phone this year and probably the best android phone available in the market, the Samsung Galaxy S3. It is the latest flagship phone from Samsung that sports an eye popping specifications and performance. This phone was officially l...
Fastest phone we've tested, Good set of features, Excellent battery life,
Construction quality not the best, Camera is strictly ok
Wrapping things off, Samsung has done good by providing a pretty high capacity battery with the Galaxy S III. The 2100 mAh battery certainly has more capacity than the 1800mAh one found in HTC’s One X or even Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus that comes equipped ...
