Polycarb is just a kind of touch plastic and it's by no mean some high grade/quality stuff. I hope people don't start turning into iSheeps.

In case you all didn't realised, PC also used in making those 1.5lt, 2lt drinking bottle sold in pasar malam, claimed to be "space shuttle material", heh. From what I learned, PC is also very prone to scratches. So those with shiny surface, jaga laaa. 

Come on guys don't like the phone then don't post it here? it's like they're trying to prove HTC one X is better?? butthurt or what? let's just keep this thread clean. Stop bashing about it. Get a life?

whr got bashing? bashing and giving opinions is different. some people ask one x or s3 is better, we just give honest opinion

But they should've used something diff like aluminum , as plastic makes it looks a bit cheap, don't you think ?

As soon as a new device hits the scene – particularly one which boasts high specs from every direction – it’s always interesting to see, in terms of performance, whether said device lives up to its billing.

In order to ascertain this, a series of tests (known as benchmarks) are carried out in different categories, with the subsequent numbers and scores compared to that of competitors. The results are in for the brand-new Samsung Galaxy S III, and although it’s been a bit of a divider among the top tech opinions, one thing is for sure; in terms of performance, this baby is an absolute powerhouse!

As AnandTech reports, a widely focused technology blog, has tested Samsung’s latest Android device to the limits in several key areas, and powered by that Exynos 4 Quad-core processor, it’s barely outperformed by any other device on the market in the crucial areas such as browser and video performance.

In terms of the browser and CPU performance, AnandTech reckons the S III’s performance to be “very good.” The benchmarking began with JavaScript performance tests, which measure the performance of both hardware and software, and as you can see from the charts, SunSpider performance is second only to the Lava XOLO:









1800ms was once considered to be the very height of superior performance, but thanks to the S III along with the HTC One X and the XOLO, the stakes have been significantly raised once more. The step up, at least in terms of the Samsung Galaxy S III, is likely to be attributable to the software as opposed to the hardware, but collectively – as you can see from the above results – render it a close second to Intel’s Medfield residing in the XOLO X900.

BrowserMark scores also demonstrated just how much work Samsung has been doing in order to perfect the browsing experience, and boy, does it do the business. It’s a country mile faster than close competitors, although again, it’s worth noting that Samsung’s browser code plays a role, and the fact that it’s running the latest Android 4.0.4 certainly doesn’t hurt its score against rivals running older software.

Interestingly, the onscreen GLBenchmark Egypt and Pro results show its GPU as delivering superior performance to that of the iPhone 4S, which previously reigned supreme in this category, although it’s worth pointing out that both benchmarks categories are v-sync limited on the higher-end devices.

As these tests were all carried out during an extended yet brief encounter with the Samsung Galaxy S III, there’s still much to learn, but the early signs certainly look good from a technical point of view, and those with an affinity with high-spec hardware will certainly be eager to see the device scrutinized further.

from the benchmarks it seems exynos 4412 is still struggling to keep up with snapdragon s4. A15 architecture and 28nm does make a difference

wonder what could samsung pull off with their exynos 5

galaxy s3 just got beaten in benchmark~

by meizu mx

Meizu doesn't have many features that S3 will have

+ Meizu's camera quality is not that good (acc to forumers)

It's not that good  la bro, I still prefer the iPhone 4s version of the photo that was taken at that same time,

a major point of a smartphone was never its camera.

Noone disagrees having a decent camera, which all smartphones have passed this stage, its the point where expectations dont meet reality.

Not everyone has a DSLR, and when ur posting shots from a phone, clearly you have no intentions to post it up a billboard or a magazine.

Am I clear?

clearly you have never done powerpoint editing with a dual core, be it on a nexus, or a sgs2.
I used it, and I dont have time for it to jerk around, when time is money to me.

Noone knows about the camera quality on the s3. At least none of us here.

If you are doing those "eating out" shots, a normal one will do, what are you gonna do with it is clearly not for professional usage.

On the plus side= Ive seen more people using their dslr or compact cameras taking food photos than just a smartphone. prove me wrong in that essence.

i always read pdf file on note .

if small editing i will use Note .
Big editing only i back office and get laptop to edit .

But there's no doubt it's convenient if u have a bigger screen phone

Estimate price when it land in malaysia how much?could it possible below 2k mark?

These phones are tools to work.

Even with O2 6 years ago, i used it for excel spreadsheet light editing. nowadays, youngsters really fuk up the real value of a smartphone.

he prefer 3.5" , you get what i mean

Sorry bro , Note just ngam ngam fit my hand with one hand operation .
but i believe 5" screen will really fit well and comfort for me .
i use 3.5" device , but seriously i hate to keep zoom in zoom out on 3.5" screen ...

So right now i assume this device fit me easier on the eyes + easier on the hand .

and you can see mobile processor selling all around lowyat 

samsung and htc just come out with the casing only,

Don't like the S-Voice function. This voice tech is mostly unusable in daily practice.

These are called iSheeps
This thread smells like GSMArena and Engadget.
I will take my leave~

Guys, since this phone use ICS, would like to know if there's any issue with apps compatibility. Would be sad if lots of apps still can't run properly on ICS.
