Unboxing the Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300

I was almost done with the review of the Samsung Galaxy S3 when the most unfortunate incident happened. But before I ramble on, let me share with you our unboxing photos and videos of the Galaxy S3, both in Pebble Blue and Ceramic White.

We initially got the Ceramic White variant from Samsung Philippines as a loaner. The following week, the good folks of Lazada.com.ph also gave us another unit, the one in Pebble Blue.

Since then, we’ve been testing a lot of the native features that Samsung introduced to the S3 — S Voice (which surprisingly supports the Philippines with location-based queries, unlike Siri), Smart Stay, S Beam, and Direct Call — all of which worked as smoothly as we expected it to be.

So as some sort of a teaser, check out our unboxing video below:

We’ve also taken a lot of sample shots and sample video recording at 1080p, just like this one (will include more in our final review):

We promise to post the full review by this weekend. We’re just swamped with so many phones to review this quarter. :)

The phone is great…Bought my S3in the mid east and surprisingly its costs runs around 24+25k considering it was just also newly released there but this phone is awesome-superfast and smoothÂ·I really the zero shutter lag in capturing videos :-)

@Kei:

Kamusta naman ang multitasking?

Battery?

Lags?

Dun lang talaga ako worried, pero prefer ko talaga ang one x dahil nga sa design and UI nya.
