    Wait until iPhone 5 comes out! Surely it will leave those 4core units behind! But I like this S III. Had seen the benchmark test and it’s really impressive! Good job Sammy!

    The Galaxy S3 is the best smartphone so far. Its design is not as great as the S2 but its specs and cool features are superb. Even though its processor is a bit slower than the HTC One X (1.4 GHz Quad Core vs. 1.5GHz Quad Core)on paper, it still managed to beat the One X in benchmarks (see http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_iii_flexes_muscles_on_benchmarks-news-4201.php).

    looks = htc one X (battery and no micro sd are totally turn off’s)
    power = sgs3 (i dont like both colors and the looks)

    hayst, if only one x has a micro sd expansion slot, sgs3 will be kicked in the ass.

    Samsung is a good handset maker. Even overtook nokia in sales. But its achiles heel will always be it’s mobile os. Samsung should start thinking about its dependency with android and look into either bada becoming ar par with ios or acquiring that beautiful but neglected os from hp.hell even go crazy and look at blackberry for this.

    Don’t worry boys! We still have the SAM GT-I9800 coming real soon in fewer months than you expect! Just in time to rain down on October. Cheer up! SAM GT-I9300 is a decent phone.

    so which is better? this or HTC One X?

  12. Avatar for Paul Paul says:

    Yup the battery is replaceable and it has microSD expansion.

    My SII can accomodate up to 64gb micro SD (sandisk hd one) so this can too. Its a beast.

    You cant judge it by photos, you gotta get to feel it before you judge its plastic. That is what they said with the SII but still a lot bought it lol

    can anyone verify if the battery is removable/replaceable?

  14. Avatar for John G John G says:

    Not excited by the design and material used. SGS2 looks better! Lalo na yung One X and One S.
