@Yoo0ooNa It lags because the S Voice option is on. If you double tap the home button S Voice will start. Turn that option off. Otherwise the phone is waiting a second or so to see if you are single tapping or double tapping the button.
facetime or for android videocall...yes you can...and you can do it via 3g or wi-fi...unlike facetime where you can only do it on iPhones...SGSIII can do it on any device with videocall capabilities...
did samsung finaly improved message signal? I have galaxy S, Worse thing i dont like abt is its impossible to chose mp3 for message signal. Also I miss a profile feature.Means, where i can set up my own several profiles of different adjusted tones. Does S3 has it now?
I thought the whole thing with Android ICS was that it has built-in buttons to eliminate the need for buttons on the phone. But they kept the buttons on the S III I'm guessing so that it doesn't look almost exactly the same as the Galaxy Nexus.
I'm actually considering changing from the iPhone to this phone. What are the big changes that I'll see? And can I get my iTunes library on the Galaxy?
sooo should I wait for the iPhone 5 or get this? I've had an upgrade available for 3 years cuz i wanted to purchase at the right time but this seems to look promising
Sadly, I have to agree. I've got one on upgrade, but I'm regretting not getting the one x or waiting for i5. I'm going to look at eBay prices to see how much I can get. You tried the HTC One X?
Not as yet. I just downloaded the online manual, although it hasn't given me a solution when you click on the input and language tab in the pdf it confirms that you can customize the predictive text dictionary (doesnt tell you how though) Maybe there is a software fault ? I've tried factory reset and this doesn't help...
Depends on what you're after. Personally, I am interested in the Samsung Galaxy S III battery because it has a usage time that lasts 5 hours longer than the iPhone. I also do swype texting (it's not for everybody). The iPhone is more durable. Both phones are pretty reliable for use. Other than that, the features between the different phones are the same.
Advice Please! I currently have Widget Locker and have pre ordered this phone. I'm wondering if Widget Locker will work with this phones lock screen. Thanks.
@2Sri99 I dont know how the 1.5 one x dual core us version will fair with the 1.4 quad core exynos.. But i know the 1.5 Tegra 3 quad core international version should outperform the exynos by some amount.. Hmmm idk..
does it work with hspa+ i want to get this quad core version rather than lte dual core,,my network provides hspa+ for my gs2 and im wondering if I can use that with this one..
1. judging the looks is fine, but can't really be sure untill you hold it though? 2. the interface looks pretty standard to me, would be pretty hard redesign the interface and make people like it. 3. Lock button on top with such big phone can be a problem, and alot of people (including me) likes it on the side :)
This amazed me the most out of all Android devices.I am an Apple user but still I wouldn't switch to Android since I know the next iPhone will have something even more amazing.The thing that attracts me at the iPhone is that it's not very big in size and that there are a lot of accessories on the market that are made for iPhone,NOT ANDROID(AR drone,most headphones,lots of cases,gadgets,camera lens and such).
No external memory slot though. And I don't think the GS2 feel cheap and I don't think that would be the case with the GS3 also. I't a matter of personal preferences tough.
Yeah thanks man, i will have to wait till the US version comes out because that is where i am located. I really hope that Samsung puts that quad core in the US version, but i doubt it.
How can you can you change? Are you going to have to pay? I want to change my iphone 5 too but I believe I have to pay the full price for the s3. Please answer this question!!
So apparently you like the phone huh. I have a question, is the home screen swiping and such smooth with live wallpapers and a lot of widgets? I really want this phone I just wanna know if it is a smooth phone. Thanks.
Every one keeps on saying 96 gbs but that is wrong. There are 64 gbs cards out since the new year and they are compatible with both the note and the s2
I love Samsung phones! And I love my Mac Mini and macbookpro. I would not spend good money on the iPhone or iPad as they are now. This S3 is killer cool! Big screen size, super AMOLED screen, up to 96GB on your HP and burst photo taking. And interoperability with Chrome on my MBP is a cinch. Competition is good for the market.
I'm not upgrading from the sgs2 to the sgs3 until the app development catches up with the sgs2. Both of these phones are more than powerful for any android app.
I dont know why you say that, I only buy iPhone since the first one came out. I love how it works with my Apple TV's, (I own 3 TVs so each one has an Apple TV hooked up to it) my 17" MacBook Pro, my 2TB Time Capsule and iCloud. I wouldn't take an android phone if you payed me.
Funny I did the same thing as you and I agree even though I like the look of the iPhone the quality is not the same since I wouldn't dare use the phone outside without a case; whereas an S3 I wouldn't mind. Are you crazy about the performance! I was blown away by what the S3 can do its even better than a jailbroken iPhone any day. Look up the S3 connectivity demo by NZtechfreak here on youtube and I bet you'll be crawling back to the S3. This is just my opinion from the same boat.
Ive been at the android lair for quite some time, but after changing to iphone 4s, other brands just don't quite deliver at the same level. Yes its pricey, yes its a closed environment, but it is just so easy and nice to use. If you like to customize the phone alot, and spend time doing so android is a good choice. But after a few years of customizing and changing things it started to be bothersome. Apple is easy, and easy is fun.
Can anyone help me ? when using text messaging I can't add custom words to the dictionary ? + predictive text won't work when browsing or typing into android store ?
The SG3 is more powerful than the standard laptop or macbook & I mean literally. No joke. HD amoled screen, flash support, desktop option in stock browser, sick task manager, extremely fast, smooth & customizable. No limitations whatsoever
This is a beautiful device, and I'd love to get my hands on it. I'm disappointed in Verizon for delaying this device for it's customers. This phone doesn't ship until the 9th of July.
exynos vs tegra, touch wiz vs sense, replaceable battery vs uni body, super amoled vs super lcd 2, external memory slot vs no external memory slot.. etc. I'd say there is plenty to consider in choosing between the 2. Can't wait for proper GSIII review. :)
I see, but i just found out that the US version of the S3 has a dual core 1.5 GHz and a ridiculous 2 GB of RAM, which in my opinion makes up for the loss of quad core. And the 16 GB version is 199 for Verizon plus i have a 16 GB SD card. I heard the Verizon Galaxy S3 will be released either this month, June, or the beginning of July
Actually android comes in many sizes, larger and smaller. Those options lets you pick which ever phone size you prefer and not the size apple decides you will like. Most free apps on android have a donate option. Having more free ones and with google's return policy its easier to try different apps out and see which you like. Jailbreaking when there are updates is a pain and it still is no where near androids funtionality.
There are alot of useful features to the S3 such as the direct call and such but the Touchwiz interface looks hideous to me. The phones shape and home screen button are much the same aswell in my opinion, think I'll stick with my S2 for now :)
does anyone knows why does my s3 lags when i clear the ram and press then press the home button and the home screen takes time to load out the apps and widgets.
I totally agree with you, that is why after my contract ends. I'm switching over to Samsung! iPhone was great, but too limited for a user who wants to share outside the Apple devices.
rip of is totally wrong word if you dont think Blizzard have ripped of from Warhammer, Minecraft from Infinityminer, CoD from the first battlefields, League of Legends from DotA mode and so on
"HUGE 4.8 inches!" haha...
3 years of owning an iPhone and this is the phone that made me make the switch!
Missing my iOS apps but overall worth the change!
@neurocosm obviously it has ics, and in case you didn't know, there won't to be BOTH virtual and hardware buttons, just the home and capacatives
@Yoo0ooNa It lags because the S Voice option is on. If you double tap the home button S Voice will start. Turn that option off. Otherwise the phone is waiting a second or so to see if you are single tapping or double tapping the button.
facetime or for android videocall...yes you can...and you can do it via 3g or wi-fi...unlike facetime where you can only do it on iPhones...SGSIII can do it on any device with videocall capabilities...
Of course you can. Make sure you install Android file transfer so you can drag your iTunes files there and that way it shows on your phone.
The Samsung galaxy s3 is truly a sensational phone. It requires a bit of learning due to the vast capabilities of it.
did samsung finaly improved message signal? I have galaxy S, Worse thing i dont like abt is its impossible to chose mp3 for message signal. Also I miss a profile feature.Means, where i can set up my own several profiles of different adjusted tones. Does S3 has it now?

I hope it really does come out state side in June I was going to upgrade to S2 this month, but I'd be willing to wait another month or two for this!
@TheLive310 yeah cause the gnex has physical and capacitive buttons.
Not as yet. I just downloaded the online manual, although it hasn't given me a solution when you click on the input and language tab in the pdf it confirms that you can customize the predictive text dictionary (doesnt tell you how though) Maybe there is a software fault ? I've tried factory reset and this doesn't help...
im getting one tomorow morning, wich colour should i pick? the bleu or white, i cant wait.
Depends on what you're after. Personally, I am interested in the Samsung Galaxy S III battery because it has a usage time that lasts 5 hours longer than the iPhone. I also do swype texting (it's not for everybody). The iPhone is more durable. Both phones are pretty reliable for use. Other than that, the features between the different phones are the same.
Is on plan yet in Australia
Honda do you have Samsung galaxy at all? It allowed you to take pics but no flash
when does it come out in the USA???
does it have front flash??...looks like it with those two other dots
Advice Please! I currently have Widget Locker and have pre ordered this phone. I'm wondering if Widget Locker will work with this phones lock screen. Thanks.
Any place where can i hear the performanse in a Electronic Concert ?
is the weather clock animated? like in the HTC One X?
@2Sri99
I dont know how the 1.5 one x dual core us version will fair with the 1.4 quad core exynos.. But i know the 1.5 Tegra 3 quad core international version should outperform the exynos by some amount.. Hmmm idk..
So many phones coming out. I don't know what to get. Should I stay with Verizon and the RAZR or should I go to another company.
ohh the htc one x doesn't have a micro sd slot right??
does it work with hspa+ i want to get this quad core version rather than lte dual core,,my network provides hspa+ for my gs2 and im wondering if I can use that with this one..
does the camera have optical zoom? or any zoom function at all?
What is that green light at 2.03 on the top left of the phone
How does this do in comparison to the Galaxy Note.
When does this come out in the Canada?
Im all up for android and all that but is there any need for a 4.8 inch phone?
when will this available in canada??
1. judging the looks is fine, but can't really be sure untill you hold it though?
2. the interface looks pretty standard to me, would be pretty hard redesign the interface and make people like it.
3. Lock button on top with such big phone can be a problem, and alot of people (including me) likes it on the side :)
do you think i should get this or the galaxy nexus?, considering i could get the galaxy nexus for 300$ cheaper...?
This amazed me the most out of all Android devices.I am an Apple user but still I wouldn't switch to Android since I know the next iPhone will have something even more amazing.The thing that attracts me at the iPhone is that it's not very big in size and that there are a lot of accessories on the market that are made for iPhone,NOT ANDROID(AR drone,most headphones,lots of cases,gadgets,camera lens and such).
No external memory slot though.
And I don't think the GS2 feel cheap and I don't think that would be the case with the GS3 also.
I't a matter of personal preferences tough.
I don't know, but i see written in the website - "Quad Core"... Maybe quad core not available in some countries?
nice. but will it blend?
Yeah thanks man, i will have to wait till the US version comes out because that is where i am located. I really hope that Samsung puts that quad core in the US version, but i doubt it.
How can you can you change? Are you going to have to pay? I want to change my iphone 5 too but I believe I have to pay the full price for the s3. Please answer this question!!
How can you compare the Iphone 4s with the S3 .. w8 till the iphone 5 comes out then talk
Lunch event ???
So apparently you like the phone huh. I have a question, is the home screen swiping and such smooth with live wallpapers and a lot of widgets? I really want this phone I just wanna know if it is a smooth phone. Thanks.
Will it blend?
Since only apple is not allowed to have rounded corners, how is the s3 going to come out?
Do you have a front camera?
Every one keeps on saying 96 gbs but that is wrong. There are 64 gbs cards out since the new year and they are compatible with both the note and the s2
What ROM are you running? I'm running CM10 Nightly and it made my phone way faster!
Dose it has Beats audio like htc Because i dont know.what to get htc or that
should i buy Samsung Galaxy s3 or HTC one X ??
Shop demo's are IMEI locked.
You can't use them to call/open the internet.
You can also be easily and precisely tracked.. just like stolen phones.
I love Samsung phones! And I love my Mac Mini and macbookpro. I would not spend good money on the iPhone or iPad as they are now.
This S3 is killer cool! Big screen size, super AMOLED screen, up to 96GB on your HP and burst photo taking. And interoperability with Chrome on my MBP is a cinch. Competition is good for the market.
I get mine friday! What color you getting? Im going with blue
I'm not upgrading from the sgs2 to the sgs3 until the app development catches up with the sgs2. Both of these phones are more than powerful for any android app.
when can we buy and price?
2012 - 4.8 screen is WOAH 😮😮🥺🥺
2019 - 6.5 screen is MEH 😒😒😒
iPhone 4S or Galaxy S3?
Can't decide.
what about batery? how long can it last when im on the internet
which one is better GS3 or HTC 1 X
But will it blend?
Does your battery drain quickly?
I dont know why you say that, I only buy iPhone since the first one came out. I love how it works with my Apple TV's, (I own 3 TVs so each one has an Apple TV hooked up to it) my 17" MacBook Pro, my 2TB Time Capsule and iCloud. I wouldn't take an android phone if you payed me.

Look up the S3 connectivity demo by NZtechfreak here on youtube and I bet you'll be crawling back to the S3. This is just my opinion from the same boat.
Can I buy this charging cable anywhere?
Ive been at the android lair for quite some time, but after changing to iphone 4s, other brands just don't quite deliver at the same level.

So galaxy s3 came out?
I like the voice of this guy. :) Thank you for this video. By the way what is his name?

Can you take self shots with S3 ?
Can anyone help me ? when using text messaging I can't add custom words to the dictionary ? + predictive text won't work when browsing or typing into android store ?
I have same problem...have u found a solution??
The SG3 is more powerful than the standard laptop or macbook & I mean literally. No joke. HD amoled screen, flash support, desktop option in stock browser, sick task manager, extremely fast, smooth & customizable. No limitations whatsoever
THE BEST ANDROID EVER
Looks like a great phone, my HTC One X is fabulous and it is very much down to personal choice
Can it text and make phone calls though?
This is a beautiful device, and I'd love to get my hands on it. I'm disappointed in Verizon for delaying this device for it's customers. This phone doesn't ship until the 9th of July.
Does this phone have a front camera?
Can i connect to WiFi with my Galaxy S3 if it doesn't have a Sim Card?
hey guys what do you think about HTC One X? I'm really think about buying either Samsung S3 or HTC One X. what do yall reckon?
exynos vs tegra, touch wiz vs sense, replaceable battery vs uni body, super amoled vs super lcd 2, external memory slot vs no external memory slot.. etc.
I'd say there is plenty to consider in choosing between the 2.
Can't wait for proper GSIII review. :)
wats the price for dis in uae.....
I see, but i just found out that the US version of the S3 has a dual core 1.5 GHz and a ridiculous 2 GB of RAM, which in my opinion makes up for the loss of quad core. And the 16 GB version is 199 for Verizon plus i have a 16 GB SD card. I heard the Verizon Galaxy S3 will be released either this month, June, or the beginning of July

@marvinperez12 that was just one drop test out of the MANY possible ways to drop it
There are alot of useful features to the S3 such as the direct call and such but the Touchwiz interface looks hideous to me. The phones shape and home screen button are much the same aswell in my opinion, think I'll stick with my S2 for now :)
I don't know weither to get this or a iPhone 5
does anyone knows why does my s3 lags when i clear the ram and press then press the home button and the home screen takes time to load out the apps and widgets.
I like that blue led charger...simple things makes things so stylish.
Which One is better the Iphone 4s or the Galaxy s3 phone
Cool tattoo. Reminds me of Capsule Corp! Damn now I want a CC tattoo.
Should I get this or the next iPhone
I totally agree with you, that is why after my contract ends. I'm switching over to Samsung! iPhone was great, but too limited for a user who wants to share outside the Apple devices.
rip of is totally wrong word if you dont think Blizzard have ripped of from Warhammer, Minecraft from Infinityminer, CoD from the first battlefields, League of Legends from DotA mode and so on
you can download it, its a app
I still have a Galaxy S.. 1.. I was actually thinking about getting the note. I like the idea of having a cross over phone.
ofcorse, just hit the allow unregistred apps to on and install free from anywhere. Me and some friends use Snapzmarket.
whats the resolution?
is it's touch screen better than s2 I mean in sensitivity ?
