My advice to you, try out Galaxy Nexus / Note at Samsung showroom. Count the pixels if you want. Then you might change your mind.

Magnifying glass disqualify.

my advice, wait the phone reaches malaysia and go try it out yrself.

Surf speed depends on ur Internet connection. In Malaysia, sum body pointed out its hard enuff to get 3G speeds let alone hsdpa. So s2 and s3 no difference.

Display definitely s2 is better bcos is rgb. Pentile matrix makes pictures and colors faded and unnatural.
Of course, if u hv never seen s.amoled plus, then it's considered ok.

H1x super slcd2 is much better than amoled technology though.
It's more natural and still very vibrant.
Amoled is saturated n fake.

If u read my post a few pages back, Samsung also stated that customers like the fake color of amoled.
That's why they continue to use this technology.
It is also limitation of amoled technology to have the rgb at higher resolution.

So HD became more important compare to rgb.

Disappointing...

Ic. Usually I prefer white color device but somehow I find that the pebble blue is looking nicer on S3

eg: i go setting.. wanna return back previous (wifi,contact or watsoever) or go app or anything wanna go back previous page on website also same... need 2 press alot times.. max is 5 to 6 times..

swipe the screen also hard.. need alot times.. unlike sense.. just once!

1st i rarely use home button.. home button is working good..

bro.. i tested alot samsung phone.. that's y i'm said like this.. u might not agree so ur choice.. x syiok can no need reply de ah..

simple.. everything in this world has its lifespan. the electronics suffer even worse when it comes to lifespan.

take for example of your florescent light bulbs that u use in your house. how often u need to change it? the capacitors u used in your motherboard also has it's lifespan from 30000hours to 100000 hours. depending on the type and quality/grade.

same goes to the LCD panels or OLED/AMOLED. it will have it's lifespan too. manufactures quantify the lifespan with various method. like the one i mentioned, the time takes for it to reach 50% of original brightness is one of the method to quantify the lifespan.

batteries also use similar method to quantify. after a year, battery will have around 70% of their original charge and then maybe 50% after second year. battery life can be reduced over time, or thru charging cycles.

using lower brightness on yr phone will definitely prolong the life span bcz it's operating in a lower current and lower temperature as well. Temperature is what kills electronic component the most (not forgetting current), hence u see the importance of using cooling facilities such as heat sink fan.

3 years. imagine the advancement in technology. i doubt the phone will last in your hands for more than 2 years

Price seems very reasonable furthermore with free flip case and 16gb memory card.
