Samsung Galaxy S III Review (Sprint) | Pocketnow

Eleven years ago this month, I bought my first mobile phone: a Samsung SCH-3500 on Sprint. At the time, it was the hottest device on the market; its unique form factor and high-tech features like voice dialing made it a must-have. The wireless landscape has since changed dramatically, but two things remain true: wireless customers still seek out groundbreaking devices, and the hottest phone on Sprint is still built by Samsung.

The Galaxy S III is the latest Android superphone to come out of South Korea, and it has a lot going for it. Indeed, our own Brandon Miniman gave it high marks on his extensive review last month. But that was the international version. The phone gracing Sprint's shelves may look similar, but there's a lot separating it from its more worldly cousin underneath that hyperglaze coating. Do these disparities bring out the best or the worst in Samsung's newest crown jewel? Watch to find out.

I feel nostalgic and I can't believe it's 10 yrs already. S3 is the phone which I never had but the first which made me immersed into the smartphone world.. saw many of them on the hands of my highscool classmates. I bought my first android phone (Samsung Galaxy Young) a year later

[MakeupByFauzy]

@pocketnowvideo where did you get the live wallpaper for the Sprint Galaxy SIII

[jgp]

I like how this guy reviews phones, nice for pocket now

[sadbravesfan]

As opposed to your iPhone which has a bezel that takes up half the size of the phone?

[abrigo]

Is there a comparison for the EVO 4G LTE and the Galaxy S III?

[Sasux]

Really good!!! He's a great reviewer!! <3 I like his voice

[DanteSolablood]

The heart of the SGS3 is amazing and hats off to Samsung for a great performing phone, but I have to say having handled one, it does feel cheap (in my opinion) and is slaughtered in drop tests by other models including the older iPhone 4S. There is a difference between being light & lacking a quality finish... these guys know that which is what makes them pros.

I went for the HTC One X in the end... processors can be optimised, but the casing is for the life of the phone.

what should i get galaxy nexus w/ jellybean or galaxy s3

[sgarinortiz]

wich it's better GS3 or G nexus GSM?

Bloatware sucks, but at least TouchWiz gives you an option to hide apps in the drawer. What I really do hate right now is the "Audio Applications" menu in the notification pull-down menu when you have earphones plugged in. Because I use doubletwist, I don't use a single one of those apps.

[azel]

you guys need to stop complaining about the plastics ...I don't want a heavy phone ..thanks to people like you the S3 is heavier than S2 its a phone.. its supposed to be light

[ramonleon]

[megamastah]

SGS3 intestines in galaxy nexus body = perfection. But nexus with jelly bean is close enough.
