Samsung Galaxy S3

[mercurial]

The only thing that would make me choose the S3 over the One X is battery life. Waiting on both from anandtech and for the updated firmware test on the HTC International version. The A&T version is supposed to have amazing battery life.

Really hate touchwhiz - dont tell me to load a custom

I hope Voda releases both next month as promised.

GSMARENA performed battery tests on both devices. The HTC One X came out with an endurance rating of 37H, whereas the S3 came out with an endurance rating of 43H.

Ah, i only saw this thread now.

I will be getting the S3. Was all set to take the HTC One X, and then the little things on the S3 changed my mind. For those torn between the 2 phones, these are the items which swayed me to the S3:

Removable Battery (better then the htc battery)
MicroSD card slot
Smart Stay

I have an upgrade due in 2 months, so the S3 it will probably be.

I think i've been converted. On battery life. Damn its hard to say bye to HTC.

[GouKi]

are there any indications on pricing and which networks will have them?

[WiseCrack]

I hope MTN will have them early June and something similar to the S2 pricing on Anytime 200.

Official launch for SA is 7th June.

GSMArena review...I think they like it!!!

Geez, that's a review and a half times 3 Looks like an awesome smartphone.

I found this bit interesting:

The Mali-400MP inside the Galaxy S III beats both the iPhone 4S and iPad 2, which use SGX 543MP2 (at different clock speeds).

And the list goes on and on. This phone is a winner.

Man, that's an awesome review. This is the best smartphone I've seen.

Popped into Vodacom earlier, and they said the S3 is being released end of the year!! The guy went in the back then came back and said its middle of June as we all know...

Shame the staff are so not up to date its worrying
