Article: Just got our Samsung Galaxy S III

[Blue90]

I got a friend with a LTE One X to run Antutu. The SIII beat it 756 to 387. Wow.

Would you recommend me buy a international quad core version or this lte?. I am going to be using straight-talk for my service, which I think is AT&T but not sure.

[YESH]

Howard, when do you expect to complete the quad-core vs. dual core piece?

Waiting for the blue quad-core. Will be interested to see the difference in performance.

Just posted a section comparing the dual and quad core S III's.

added the battery score

I've been wondering which version to go with, the quad or the dual. I've decided to get the quad, as the quad core will most likely be better prepared for future updates. Thanks for the update howard!

Don't know is this site is legit (it just started popping up near top of results) or useful but this discusses probs with blue if relevant to anyone.

I didn't a photo of the docking station keyboard.

It's the SGH i747.

You can disable the gestures individually.

For the Americans out there, this is also the same model number for AT&T's version.

Cool. It's the Pebble Blue version.

So, Howard, what do you think of appearance? Have you seen the white?
I wouldn't buy a white phone but these gorgeous pics are calling me. Do these pics do the phone justice? Which looks better, pics or real phone? How do you like that tap/water drop/unlock? So cool.





Apparently, your back doesn't match this one. Shame.

I would love to get the white but I am scared that after a few months of use and occasional dirty hands, that the phone might become yellowish/browning. I see Howard has it on Telus, that is going to be me real soon!

Another plus on the balance sheet. A more subdued, restrained finish suits me just fine.

Is any SGSIII version known to allow me to load, assign, and play my own homemade mp3 ringtones?

No reason to think it would be different from your DX.

Thanks for the reply!

But there is some small method to my madness. Those early detailed specs listed "polyphonic" ringtones only. Then the review Howard (?) linked to said a little more than necessary about -- well everything, really -- but he singled out the ringtones for superfluous praise. Add to that the gradual demise of SD storage which is clearly linked to media issues and the diminishing Android support, again linked to media... a pattern emerges.

I did see on another forum an oblique reference to some kind of expected file naming change re ringers on the SGSIII. But it wasn't explicit enough to say if was good news or bad.

You are correct that there's probably no real cause for concern, but my excess of caution is still not wholly baseless. I'd really like to see sometimg concrete, like a user's guide manual maybe, or ...

If somebody who has an S3 -- any model -- would just try to load, assign, and play a homemade mp3 ringer, that would be just super.

Howard, here is my question. How does it compare to the regular razr as far as battery life with high usage on the lte model.

And now for something completely different:
