READ!! I strongly believe the best time to upgrade is every other model. for example. if you have the s1 then get the s3 and from the s3 then the s5,,,, not every year,, you wont be as impressed if you keep upgrading that fast.
Jesus Salazar i had the galaxy s4 which was a good phone until the display starting going bad with the burn-ins starting from the top of the display it was to the point to where i either pay for a new display or pay as much for a newer phone
I loved my s3 but the s4 was the first phone I was just CRAZY about. That 1080p screen with what was some of the smallest bezels at the time,I was in love. That is till I switched it for a Note 3. God,back then getting new phones was EVERYTHING.
They cater to different users. It would not be correct to call one better than the other if they're both great phones. Just pick the form-factor you prefer ^JR
I got my S3 when it last year also. Been thinking bout upgrading to the 4, now I think I'm just gonna wait it out, and see what else is coming out regarding Android phones.
Why isn't anyone talking about or reviewing the IR blaster. It supposedly replaces all of your home remote controls to TV and cable box yet nobody is talking about it??????
I have the S3 and was gonna get the S4, but like you said theres not a huge difference between the two. I got a 3250mAh battery from ebay so my battery is larger than the S4's anyway. Camera I don't take many pics with so only real upgrade is the screen which I would love, but not for the huge upgrade fee.
Does the S4 have curved glass on the edges like the S3? One of my biggest pet peaves about the S3 was that the screen protectors couldn't go to the edge of the device.
Not going to lie, I like your speaking style and production setup. It's high quality in this world of "Hey guys it's AndroidNerdBoy3000" youtubers doing videos in the basement restroom at their parents house. Subscribed. You're also kinda cute! (Just doing my part in sexualizing men like you do women. :3 Hehehe~)
A custom launcher only changes the home screens and the app drawer. Some things like the notification bar and settings are still ugly. But yes, flashing a custom rom would fix that.
Thanks for personal comparison, I still have the first galaxy s and was debating between the 3 or 4 to upgrade to. I think I might go with the 4 because of the upgraded system and graphics...hmm maybe not so much because of added apps.
The S4 was a minor update to the S3, just like the S2 was to the S1. I'm here waiting to upgrade my S3 to the S5, which should be significantly better.
of course it does.I love the new s4 ,my friend has it and I have a s3.I like them both but the overall feeling of s4 is much smoother and really great.we are in a technological century and samsung is one of the most important companies that offer us high quality smartphones.
When you're using these devices for the 1st time after a reboot, some applications may lag at its initial opening until cache is stored. Then you're good. At 1st boot l it will take longer for everything to settle in before it smooths out. The quad core will handle overall performance a little better but both of these devices have 10billion functions & capabilities most phones don't have, but the lag you see is only when a program is being opened for the 1st time & the only time you'll see it.
I can't wait for the international versions. I want to see how my int S3 stacks up versus the S4. And btw Samsung, where's my 4.2.2 Android? I want lockscreen widgets!!!!
sad that the s4 active has an 8mp camera as opposed to the regular 13mp on the non-active one. but idk if being it water proof and scratch proof was a better deal
The galaxi s4 has two optinal. the first one is the snapdragon 1.9Quad core. The secand one is 1.6quad core. Is theres any diffrent that affects the performance? Btw thx for the video!
Finally switched from the galaxy captivate to the new S 4. No complaints the new s4 is amazing in every way my only suggestion is to not use the ATT app for wifi connectability as it is unreliable & a battery drain. After you disable smart wifi you'll have better/faster & automatic connectivity results. Adjust your screen brightness for longest battery life, which is now easy w/ a flick of your finger. As always voice recognition could be better. no application or camera lags!
I still find myself recommending an s3 to friends, family and associates, it costs around £100 from eBay in the uk, performs well and you can easily find replacements batteries and cases and such.
timrock11 If you use the stock, shit Samsung firmware. But you can put other, better versions of Android on it (LIKE CM13) and they improve battery and performance.
I bought an S3 about three weeks ago. The S3 has had serious reception issues on 4.1.2 beginning my first day. . My previous Moto Droid X had great reception in marginal areas. The S3 will stutter, drop calls and lose GPS. I know Motorola has the rep of superior radios, but the rest of the phone MAXX HD, (screen and speakers) don't compete well w/the S4, and doesn't have a removable battery. I'm hoping the S4 has improved it's reception in Marginal areas. HTC One is beautiful but iffy recept.
when you notice the galaxy s4 has a larger battery then the s6 >:(
DOMg00g when you realize the galaxy note 2 has a bigger battery than the note 5
Yeah

RUclips algorithm: let’s watch the best version of Micheal Fischer’s haircut from 7 years ago

Really appreciate the compliment. I do want to say, though, that we love the guys over at TB, and their work. ^MF

Supa Mariio On my S8 plus 😀
2020 😂
The quality of reviews has been phenominal from quite some tym now...Pocketnow is definately my fav tech channel....ur awsome Michael!
They cater to different users. It would not be correct to call one better than the other if they're both great phones. Just pick the form-factor you prefer ^JR
haha Michael you're a good actor as well ! Enjoyed your performance there when you were speaking on the phone :d
Great review, Michael! Loved every piece of animation in it.
Greatly informative. You just got another subscriber! Thanks!
What clock and music widgets do you use on the GS4? Or are they part of the new TouchWiz?
Thanks for watching, and for the compliment. There's more where this came from. :) ^MF
That's excellent to year. Glad to give you the smiles! ^MF
Michael, as a Galaxy S3 owner, do you think it'd be worth it to upgrade?
OMG this was so helpful thank you so much!!!!!
S3 is heavier
S4 not
S3 diesnt have kitkat
S4 is more powerfull and doing whatever you want
S4 has better OS
S4 wins
Um your stupid cuz my s3 has kitkat 4.4.2
Mkg blue so as you.
s3 is more better so shut up
+Roberto Danci Great English lmfao.
+Roberto Danci how is the s3 better?
Great job!!! Very helpful
Mike Fisher does a great job with these reviews, and the auto trader reviews! Don't know you but... you're going places.
I like the clock widget on your s3. Is that a download widget?
I got my S3 when it last year also. Been thinking bout upgrading to the 4, now I think I'm just gonna wait it out, and see what else is coming out regarding Android phones.
Great review. Thanks
What is your clock widget on the S4 mate ?
Why isn't anyone talking about or reviewing the IR blaster. It supposedly replaces all of your home remote controls to TV and cable box yet nobody is talking about it??????

Do u have the international version??
Very detail and nice comparison...
Does the S4 have curved glass on the edges like the S3? One of my biggest pet peaves about the S3 was that the screen protectors couldn't go to the edge of the device.
what do u think about the overheating on s4 and the weak battery ?
Do you recommend me to sell my s3 and buy s4 or there is not a lot of benefits to invest in it?
Where does he get that wallpaper?
Hey, as I know, Galaxy S3 is quad-core everywhere.
And the new one is octa-core in Korea.
Great vid! Pocket mow is the place to look for all smartphone coverage!'
thank you very good information
What background do you have on the S3?
After the major update of s4's (I9505) firmware i noticed it is alot smoother now and the camera improved.
In the scenes where you test phone calls.... Are you really talking? XD Great Video as usual!
That's the international version, the American s3 was tested in this video.
I wonder how many features they will port to the s3 in a future update..
LTE compatibility was the driving force behind this, IIRC. ^MF

How does it compare to the Note 2?
Excellent video!!
I have the SGN2, do u thing i should upgrade to the S4 or i should wait for the 4.2.2 update?
A custom launcher only changes the home screens and the app drawer. Some things like the notification bar and settings are still ugly. But yes, flashing a custom rom would fix that.
I'm still so happy with my Galaxy S3, that's why i won't change it until S5 or maybe S6 comes out
whats that live wallpaper your using?
You may have gotten lucky with your s4, because I have heard of the lag as well (and overheating).. he's not lying. glad you like your phone tho
the speaker part is hilarious! when hes on the phone with TWO Phones just cracks me up
GALAXY S 4!!!! Pocketnow, I must tell you, no matter how upset I might be about whatever, YOUR videos always seem to put a smile on my face. :)
Thanks for personal comparison, I still have the first galaxy s and was debating between the 3 or 4 to upgrade to. I think I might go with the 4 because of the upgraded system and graphics...hmm maybe not so much because of added apps.
you also said you regret buying the s4 but you say that you like it?
2:00 What 3D wallpaper is that? :D
Great review
Do anyone know when next next Galaxy cell phone come out again?
Why do Samsung insist on the ICS search bar?
Which widget are u using for the calendar on the home screen thanks
Why'd they drop the Roman numerals? Just slapping a 4 on the back is really underwhelming. But these are my problems.
Watching this in April 2019 on my Note8
Watching on S20U
Samsung definitely has come a long way!
@@hayazhafiz watching on my S22 Ultra lol
Great review dude but don't use live wallpapers, they slow down the speed of any phone
Guys dont forget that there wil be an Android 4.2.2 update is coming for GS3 sadly it will not release for GS2
I luv pocketnowvideo reviews.....they are epic seriously...
7:44 i love that man. "Im Jaime Rivera and no your not dreaming this is pocketnow Daily" :)
The S4 was a minor update to the S3, just like the S2 was to the S1. I'm here waiting to upgrade my S3 to the S5, which should be significantly better.
i went from a HTC OneX(amazing phone...love it!) to the S4..its my first galaxy phone and I love it to
I got the S3 as it was the cheaper variant, and I dont regret it. Quad Core Exynos and 720p display are enough great for me and dont need more.
of course it does.I love the new s4 ,my friend has it and I have a s3.I like them both but the overall feeling of s4 is much smoother and really great.we are in a technological century and samsung is one of the most important companies that offer us high quality smartphones.
I am a s3 user and i think it would be worth the wait to update the software instead of upgrading to the s4
Didn't know Mr. Mobile worked for pocket now
Me neither
@Pocketnow is the s4 better then note 2?!?!?!?!?
He is so cool. i love his awsome glasses and how he never makes a mistake in his videos.

Can I buy international s4 an use it in the USA?
I can't wait for the international versions. I want to see how my int S3 stacks up versus the S4. And btw Samsung, where's my 4.2.2 Android? I want lockscreen widgets!!!!
sad that the s4 active has an 8mp camera as opposed to the regular 13mp on the non-active one. but idk if being it water proof and scratch proof was a better deal
The galaxi s4 has two optinal. the first one is the snapdragon 1.9Quad core. The secand one is 1.6quad core. Is theres any diffrent that affects the performance? Btw thx for the video!
If so how do I buy the s4 international phone?
But... Will it blend?
I think its best to wait for a custom rom to come out for the S4. I'm assuming the S4 still has bloatware on it.
So i dont know wich one to choose S3 or s4 . s3 - 350euros and s4 will probably be 600euros. Is it worth getting the s4 ????
Finally switched from the galaxy captivate to the new S 4.
No complaints the new s4 is amazing in every way my only suggestion is to not use the ATT app for wifi connectability as it is unreliable & a battery drain.

In america they are using duo core not quad core processor on s3...
Name of the widget clock on S4? Thanks!
Note 2 or S4 ?
Love my white frost s4. Its amazing. Great review xD
Amazing review
Hey dude where is Brandon Miniman?
Does open apps slow Android devices?
What i must get s4 or note ii?
For the title u could have done samsung galaxy s 1V instead of 4... Sorry, it's bothering meh
I still find myself recommending an s3 to friends, family and associates, it costs around £100 from eBay in the uk, performs well and you can easily find replacements batteries and cases and such.
+DnBGenie Just throw CM13 on it, too. Keeps pace with brand new devices.
+New American Fishkeeper not really. i had GS2 and it really doesnt keep up with the nexus 5
timrock11 The s3 is a much more powerful device, and CM13 on it runs amazingly. The GS3 and GS2 are very, very different.
wouldnt say so imo. iphone 5 eats the s3. s3 over time started to lag a lot
timrock11 If you use the stock, shit Samsung firmware. But you can put other, better versions of Android on it (LIKE CM13) and they improve battery and performance.
Michael Fisher fan , watching in 2017
I still have my S3 and it's 2017!
Which live wallpaper is he using?
Should i stay with my s3 or should i buy the s4?
Do they help? You should install .flux on your computer.
Awesome... No nonsense review..:)
gunner optics?
I bought an S3 about three weeks ago. The S3 has had serious reception issues on 4.1.2 beginning my first day. . My previous Moto Droid X had great reception in marginal areas.
