MTN Direct has the Samsung S3 for R329 per month on www.mtndirect.co.za or
Vodacom sells it for R279 per month (the S4 is R399 per month).

But then you're stuck with an S3.

Nothing wrong with the S3.

Like all Samsung phones it feels like cheap plastic.
I'd take the V over the S3 any day. Even over the S4.
Never mind the fact the V can be dropped on tiles without issue. Try that with a Samsung product.

nonsense...it feels like expensive plastic...
I've dropped my S2 on tiles and it still works 100% (was in pieces but easily re-assembled).

S3 vs V: only differencess seem to be software, front camera, and CPU. (and size)
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_v-review-877p4.php -> would indicate that thedifferent CPU's don't make that much of a diffrence.

And the build quality, and water roofing and dust proofing, and shock absorption that the V has.
Yeah not much between the 2.
V:
water resistant,
better ppi screen
more MP camera
VS.
S3
bigger screen
bigger battery
Not sure about the CPU, will have to look at benchmarks. Does the local V come with LTE?
Software support:
I think it is safe to assume that the S3 will see android 4.3, not so sure about the V. (Samsung seems to be better in this regard).
S3 probably has a larger developer community for better custom ROM support (simply because of number of units sold).
Subjective.
My blue S3 doesn't feel cheap at all to me. Friend of mine has the Z I played with it and was underwhelmed by the "build quality". I would pick the S4 over the Z any day.

The V does have LTE.
