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

Excellent highresolution screen, Some clever usability features, Quadcore processor, Good battery life, MicroSD storage expansion
Large and unwieldy, Smart Stay feature failed to work consistently
The Galaxy S III is a very impressive smartphone. Samsung has put a lot of thought into adding value to Android 4.0, taking advantage of motion control and sweeping gestures. It's a pity that Smart Stay didn't work well for us, but we can see its poten
When we reviewed the Galaxy S2 we noted that we were concerned with the back cover being flimsy so starting with that aspect of the new models build quality we are pleased to report that the S3 has a much more robust rear. It certainly isn't up to the sta...

Light and thin, 4.8in 720p HD sAMOLED screen, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, quadcore processor, 8 megapixel camera,
Not cheap, packed with features but quality varies, no HDMI connection

The Samsung Galaxy S3 isn't a bad phoner to have in your pocket, and it still feels nicer to use than most budget handsets. If you've been running yours for a couple of years may we suggest a software reset and maybe a new battery and rear shell to spruce...
