***The Official Samsung Galaxy S III Thread***

One thing I am very impressed with is the glass/screen on this device! It never gets greasy, it is easy to wipe of smudges and finger prints barely seem to appear! Compared to my HTC this thing is a dream!
 
that almost made me smile , almost ;)

all volumes are turned up,i think it stopped working after installing the latest OTA update :(

Same issue with mine although im rooted, ive had a look in the camera settings but cant see anything there. Im also on the newest update as well but dont know if that caused the shutter sound to be silent.
 
I'm quite fond of the design now as well, despite not liking it at first. I sort of get what they were going for with it.

I been thinking about the design recently. When it announced everyone slated it for being ugly. Now the comments seem to to have disappeared. I personally think it looks better than the HOX and it definitely feels better.

I also like the new TouchWiz... :o

TouchWiz is very fast and smooth. I would use it myself but I need gestures.
 
The only thing i miss about Sense is the weather widget, Touchwiz weather widget is ok but not as good as the Sense weather/clock widget. Thats about the only thing i miss about Sense, its nice but i dont think its that well optimised although i have used previous Sense versions and Sense 4 is much better but still compared to Touchwiz, i actually prefer the all round smoothness of Touchwiz over Sense.

I know people say the One X is better built ie feels better in the hand but i honestly think the SGS3 feels much much nicer in the hand.

Yeah the X just needs to be better optimized with tegra etc. as the one S is just as smooth and quick as the GS 3, only reason GS 3 appears to be smoother is due to the animations.

With jellybean, all phones should be pretty much the same though.

Touchwiz is great for the tweaks/features, it is just the design/UI of their stuff that is awful, IMO the colour scheme is too kiddish/cartoonish, the stock apps don't have any unified feeling to them and everything seems to be all over the place and a bit bloated in the design department.

I find the Gs 3 to be more "comfortable" to hold in the hand than the X despite being larger, however, I think the X "feels" nicer to touch/hold in terms of the finish and a more perceived quality feel to it than the GS 3, if that makes sense :p :o

When it announced everyone slated it for being ugly. Now the comments seem to to have disappeared.

I still stand by my comments! :p

I don't think you will find many people slating the looks/design now that most of those people own one especially the PB version! :p

It isn't as bad as what I thought at first along with everyone else especially the colour, but IMO it is the most ugly top end phone for quite a while, loved the GS 2 looks, but just can't get on with the GS 3 design/looks :(

:p :D
 
Mine should be here in time for me to play with after work tomorrow :D Should be a lovely little upgrade from my BB Bold 9700.
 
Oh dear................. :o

:p


Do you prefer it more than sense V4, overall? In your opinion, what do you think of the camera UI/features of touchwiz compared to sense V4 camera?


In what ways does it give the one X "a bit of a pasting"?

How is the battery life so far?

What do you like about it?

I can't write too much as I'm currently suffering on the train (hate them). :p

It's just everything really. It's quite a lot faster, much much smoother, the battery life is a lot better, no figures yet but it's dropping a lot slower. I like the feel and look of it most of the time and it also feels very solid.

I wasn't expecting much from the camera but that has impressed me too, it seems noticeably better than the One X and the shutter is faster, and it's also faster at processing the pictures as you take them, it's totally fluid.

TouchWiz seems fairly pretty, fluid and functional. I like the theme in general for the most part.

I think the biggest shock is the screen though, it looks absolutely excellent and I think I prefer it to the One X...

More to come of course, forgive my vagueness!

haha :D

Nice smooth ride then :p


Sounds good!

I wonder how some of those areas would compare to the X with the S4 chip.


You need to import/buy a XL now and compare it to the GS 3! :p

Am I reading that correctly!?!? :eek:


:p

SAMOLED is much nicer overall :cool:
 
My screen reached 44 degrees yesterday while backing up over WiFi and screen on while doing on while charging at the same time.

Rather warm :p
