    maganda nga ang plastic casing e..para pag nahulog, soft ang impact.. and ang polycarbonate(kung saan gawa ‘tong s3), nagagasgasan, PERO hnd nababasag..

    In overall specifications. I would say SONY XPERIA S pa rin ,kasi i had saw many videos na talo nya ang HTC one X sa browser speed renedering, I dont know why,because one x is quad then the XS is dual core. Tingnan ninyo sa youtube HTC one X vs Xperia s.

    Super excited ako sa paglabas nitong phone na to. one thing thats really good about having a “plastic” phone that others don’t realize is that kahit plan bases mo mabagsak to di nasisira. touch ko may case na nabagsak lang isang bases wasak buong screen. sg2 ko walang case plan bases na nahagis ng baby ko walang scratch pa din. oo plastic but durable.

    Yes its true… S3 is quite a disappointment, since ang S2 is a very good phone I am thinking that they would bring it a notch higher. I think they made this design to get rid sa patent law suit ng apple, kasi sabi ng apple ginagaya ng samsung ang kanilang design.. pati na ang home button so maybe this is their way of evading the patent lawsuit but they did not make a good job… and right on dapat sa mga designer ng samsung mag aral muna ng mga bagong design… this will not be a flop production as what others are predicting but i think it will not be as well received as s2… what do you think?

      Ayun oh! Kung makapagcomment akala mo kung sinong napakagaling sa design ng cellphone. Why not make your own design and propose it to samsung. Magaling ka eh.

    nakakatawa naman mga comment dito! kng makapagsalita parang alam ang sinasabi! sabihin nyo, wala kayong pera! o ayaw nyo lang maapawan unit nyo! magpakakatoo kayo hoy!

      hahaha! agree!! tama ka dyan. yung iba naman hindi pa nga nahawakan yung phone, kung mkpag comment..wagas! hehe

    Ugly design. Mediocre camera. Pentile screen. Quad core nga pero for sure laggy pa rin. Hindi kagaya ng ibang OS na buttery smooth sa single core.

    • Avatar for mx mx says:

      agree, i was waiting para sa phone na to pamalit nang lumang phone ko, pero the 8mp camera, and pentile screen na kita daw ang pixels sa malapitan as per other websites. for me ayun pa naman ang talagang tinitignan ko sa phone. this turned me off, guess i need to see it personally na lang to appreciate.. kainis sana ginawang 12mp yung camera at ginandahan yung screen. pero kung ka price siguro to nang xperia s or mas mura pa. then i have to reconsider..

      another brainless man who doesn’t know anything about screens, cameras and processors.

    • Avatar for mx mx says:

      whats wrong of wanting to have the best possible tech out there? ndi naman ito barya barya lang eh, kung magbabayad ka at bibili nang phone, why not go for the best possible tech, yung bang for the buck? you want the best for your hard earned cash right?? now tell me it didn’t make sense?

    Yuck! super amoled nga, pentile naman. at hindi ceramic, talagang pure plastic lang. ang pangit pa ng home button.

    • Avatar for vinvin vinvin says:

      You will not see the difference between pentile and RGB unless you have a microscopic eye. It’s not plastic, it is polycarbonate plastic. Stop boasting around without knowing some facts.

      Panget talga pag min lang ang brightness, greenish ang screen, like yung motorola Droid Rzr. Kailangan imaximize ang brightness.

    I’m greatly disappointed with the design and the screen technology.

    OMG, I’ll be paying Php 20++ para sa mukhang China Phone?!

  16. Avatar for cocoy cocoy says:

    Boy it’s ugly as hell! and the display is even pentile!? I’m not sure if it’s worth the expensive buy. Go buy yourselves an HTC One X instead!

    the special coating of the plastic used in Galaxy SIII “It’s made of glossy plastic created using a brand new manufacturing process that Samsung calls Hyperglaze.”

  18. Avatar for Jam Jam says:

    Ok so seriously I wanna thank the whole Samsung company for not putting the whole label Megapixel capacity thing with the camera. The way it was there with the SII is so practical for a phone who brags it all when it has nothing to brag on.

  19. Avatar for lexty lexty says:

    not quite impressed. feature wise: Superb. pero design wise: not good. the UI, new method of coating the plastic to change the looks pero plastic pa rin. hehe. the 720p screen with less pixel density.

    @Jhay Gamba
    It’s not just about the performance. It’s about overall quality/performance. the “Total Package”

    • Avatar for Jam Jam says:

      Definitely. Masyado nilang inisip yung convenience. They want the users to feel the light weight pero it never gave the design its heyday. If ako tatanungin I’d prefer the aluminum kahit andun yung weight. Nangunguna na ang samsung they should improve it. Wala naman na sigurong problema sa design actually dahil yung performance it will, no doubt crush all the other smartphones out there with the quad core processor.
