The phone looks and feels great. It's smooth like a polished stone
But very light. Samsung corrected some of the biggest mistakes on the Galaxy Nexus. For starters
The camera is absolutely terrific. Photos were incredibly sharp and detailed

A blazing fast beast of a phone with 2GB of RAM and a 1.5GHz dualcore processor. The display is a beauty
Just short of the iPhone and One X screens. Handset is thin and light. The same hardware is sold across five U.S. carriers at the same price point

Good – but not great display
Phone gets greasy and slippery easily
S Voice needs improvement
Camera suffers from white balance issue with white objects
Touchwiz U.I. is not as slick as HTC Sense
Back cover is cheapy
Speaker is quiet
Can be difficult to hear outside of tombs and sensory deprivation chambers
Large and unwieldy
Smart Stay feature failed to work consistently
4G LTE not yet available
Relatively dim screen
Noticeable lag when returning to home screen
S Voice suffers from network errors
AllShare still second fiddle to Air Play
More expensive up front than other carriers
Relatively dim display
No 4G LTE support
Plasticky body. Really
This lack of clarity on Sprint's LTE rollout is getting ridiculous
Samsung software overload
Same old plastics
Super AMOLED is losing its charm
Super AMOLED
We liked how HTC just lightly augmented Ice Cream Sandwich with little improvements here and there. Samsung went with the more is more approach
And the Galaxy S III suffers for it. The TouchWiz UI is not as intuitive as it could be
And it often adds mor
Screen difficult to read in sunlight
S Voice not as good as Siri
The Galaxy S3's screen is too dim
And Samsung's S Voice Siri competitor disappointed
Expensive
Expensive. Data speeds are not quite as fast as many other carriers
Battery suffers under 4G
Plastic construction
Expensive tariffs
Plastic build. Many features are buried deep in the UI
S Voice doesn't always work
Gestures can be frustrating to use
Sharing and connectivity features can drain the battery quickly
Camera is impressive
But it's still not on-par with a good point-n-shoot
Expensive. Plastic build. Many features are buried deep in the menu system
Screen is a bit dim. Plenty of bloatware
Android 4.1 not yet available at time of review. Cricket's 4G coverage is very limited
Very limited 4G LTE coverage. Screen could be brighter
Home button is a great addition
But not shaped for the thumb
Display lacks brightness outdoors
Build quality could be better
Though it looks great in white
Anyone who purchased the Galaxy S II last October/November is going to be pissed about it
Sharing features largely limited to Samsung devices
Thin build leads to some awkward handling
S-Voice is gimmicky
Touchwiz won't suit all
Back cover very flimsy
Casing and design are not photogenic
No camera key
Samsung's TouchWiz software includes a lot of halfbaked features that aim for innovation but miss the mark — sharing apps in particular. Styling is boring
And not exciting enough for a flagship phone
Lack of quad-core processor may impair power users/gamers
PenTile display isn't as crisp as LCD
Unremarkable design
Light feel-in-hand
Slippery casing is a fingerprint and oil magnet
Several Verizon “bloatware” apps are pre-loaded

Aesthetically challenged
TouchWiz takes getting used to
S Voice is no less of a gimmick than Siri
Samsung has a history of failing to update phones on time
S Voice is just a novelty
Expensive cuttingedge product
Difficult homescreen customization
Poor battery life
Recent Apps button menu hard to find
Most new features turned off by default
S-Voice is limited
Like Siri
The polycarbonate used doesn't give the impression of something premium
Camera photos tend to be a bit overexposed
No premium materials used in its construction
Aluminum looks rather than aluminum (rim)
12 month warranty only
Preinstalled bloatware

Abstract: Auch das neue Samsung Galaxy S3 wird es wieder in zig verschiedenen Varianten geben, wobei bei uns lediglich eine erhältlich ist und wenn überhaupt, dann gibt es nur verschiedene Speichergrößen. Neben unserem Quad-Core-Modell (Exynos 4412) gibt es aber au...
Abstract: Nahezu alle Hersteller haben jetzt ihre Flaggschiff-Geräte am Markt, vor allem aber stehen das HTC One X, LG Optimus 4X HD und das Samsung Galaxy S3 im Fokus, da alle drei Geräte über einen Quad-Core-Prozessor und dickes HD-Display verfügen. Gründe genug ...

Hat Samsung mit dem Galaxy S III den Thron der Smartphones von HTC zurück erobert? Meiner Meinung nach Ja, denn das Gesamtpaket aus Hardware (Exynos Quadcore, wechselbarer Akku, MicroSD) und Software (Smart Stay, TouchWiz, Entsperrmethode, abschaltbare ...
Abstract: Das Samsung Galaxy S2 war, als es erschienen ist, eines der besten Smartphones, die auf dem Markt waren. Somit gab es auch viele Gerüchte rund um den Nachfolger. Vor einigen Wochen hat Samsung dann die Katze aus dem Sack gelassen und ein, wie ich finde, f...
Meine hauptsächlichen Beweggründe nach Asien zu gehen wäre wohl das Essen dort, doch es gibt auch noch andere Vorteile, wie uns Kollege Sascha von Netbooknews immer wieder unter Beweis stellt. Denn er sitzt dort direkt an der Quelle modernster und vor all...

Alles was sich irgendwie Oberklasse-Smartphone schimpft ist durch meine Finger gewandert, davon hat es nur Samsung geschafft, einen bleibenden Eindruck zu hinterlassen. Gerade im Hinblick auf den Hauptkonkurrenten HTC One X schneidet das Galaxy s3 in dive...
Abstract: Wie schrieben wir so schön in unserem Samsung Galaxy S3 vs HTC One X-Vergleich: Der Hype ist ja unerträglich gewesen in den letzten Monaten, und wir nehmen uns da kein bißchen raus. Allenthalben Samsung Galaxy S3- von den ersten Gerüchten, technischen Daten bis hin zu den öminösen ersten Bildern oder gar Presseeinladungen: es gab im Vorfeld fast alles, was das Fanboy-Lager in Entzücken versetzen kann. Neu, und damit der krönende Abschluss des standesgemäßen Medien-Hypers waren die fast obligatorischen Lieferengpässe und Verzögerungen mit denen das Samsung Galaxy S3 nicht überall bzw. kaum zum angesetzten Veröffentlichungstag am 29. Mai erhältlich war...
Abstract: Ach ja, wenn ich mich recht erinnere kann auch ich der Urheber des obigen Zitats gewesen sein. Stimmt genau, ziemlich ernüchtert war ich über das Samsung Galaxy S3- „Das also ist Samsungs Antwort auf das HTC One X- Dieses runde Plastik-Dings?“.Eine Lehre...
Gut, der Test ist dann doch nicht übermäßig lang ausgefallen, da es auch im Prinzip nicht so viel zu berichten gab. Samsung hatte im Gegensatz zu den letztjährigen Geräten nicht so viel zu verbessern, hat also eine konsequente und wirklich gute Weiterentw...
Trotz meinen anfänglichen Zweifeln hat mich das Samsung Galaxy S3 von den Funktionen her wirklich überzeugt. Zwar hat Samsung teilweise noch ein paar Hürden eingebaut, jedoch bin ich der Überzeugung dass sie diese in einem Update für die TouchWiz UX Ober...
