Samsung Galaxy S III Review (T-Mobile)

T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S III Review

T-Mobile fans have been long waiting for a new flagship smartphone. The carrier began offering the Galaxy S II last year and, since then, has offered very few flagship devices. In fact, it chose to launch the HTC One S instead of HTC's higher-end One X. Wait no more — your smartphone has arrived. We've been testing T-Mobile's Galaxy S III for the past several days and, while it doesn't offer support for AT&T's faster 4G LTE network, it supports T-Mobile's 42 Mbps HSPA+ network. This should definitely be your next phone if you're a T-Mobile subscriber.

Should I wait for the Lumia 1000, or is there an upcoming galaxy nexus 2? Or should I just grab this one? My contract ends on August 8 this summer. Thanks

@Everthingpro Choose Sense or Touchwiz?

[Everthingpro]

I still got mytouch 4g should I get htc one s or sg3 when it comes

[henryrastogi]

Really i've always wanted to know about Sprints network. Is it really that bad?

[KJAYG]

I wish they did too but the reason they did that was because of the HSPA-42

Its a Qualcomm owned standard (i.e. they have all the patents) which means that to include it in a device and take advantage of T-Mo's full network, you have to use a Qualcomm SOC - hence the S4

[TheCoolChrisShow]

So I totally forgot what happened with the AT&T buying T-Mobile thing. Did it ever go through?

[eggydrums]

I love this phone best I've ever owned. Community development is just awesome so many ROMs to try

[zahid_]

is the t-mobile version dual core or quad core???

[cyfelix]

will there be a review on the international version with quad core??

[anjiecai]

Which S4 chip does it have? MSM8960 (LTE radio included) or just MSM8260 ( no LTE)? Cuz everyone's saying the galaxy s 3 us variants have same hardware.

[RamonLeonjr]

good review an can you give in depth review of the Sprint version

[jamies]

Hey Jon my Samsung galaxy s3 Seems to lag when pressing the home button and there's a delay appearing widgets and icons why do u think is causing this on the international version

[rulzmaker]

Why would I want to know what the internet speed is in your apartment? I wanted to know how the phone performs. In the future, please do your reviews in a proper testing area.

[alittleolder]

Remember Johns review of the HTC One X.. that's how a review works

[Mobile_Dom]

the HSPA+ 42Mpbs Modem doesnt Work with Samsung Processors, its the same reason the S II on T-Mobile last year used a Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 instead of the Samsung Exynos 4210 in the AT&T and international models

[SIwilliamj]

i miss the: "Whaaaat's up everyone! Jon Rettinger here from technobuffalo!"

[barne]

Were you on full bars in your apartment for HSDPA+? I couldn't read it it was too tiny

[Intrdmnsion]

@Avranius The iPhone itself doesn't slow down. When iOS updates are released, anything besides the latest iPhone suffers from lag as the updates are designed with the newest phone in mind (that being the 4S at this time).

[diamarisvr]

One how do you send stuff via Wi-Fi Direct on Sony i can make a connection but every time it said "file sharing not availeble".... need help!

[BAC]

I heard that t-mobiles Galaxy S III was going to be quad core since T-Mobile doesn't have an LTE network yet. Is this true??
