well, I hope S4 will get a better build quality... S3 build quality... sux more than s2 and note... but performance wise, and battery wise... it beat out it's predecessor.

Waiting eagerly for VLC media player for android to be available. Currently when I copy mp4 files to the S3, I will get prompted to copy and convert (as I only have the stock player). With this player I hope I will not need to convert it with this player

Even the original firmware that comes is XXALE8
This time round all Msian sets comes with Europe based firmware
Only the baseband is DXLE8

So sorry seen those color peel off, actually I already seen it from a China forum people complaint on it.

This phone seems is too fragile,  easily color peel off and screen break.

Hmmm.... Samsung!  Where is your quality QC? 

I know the silver part is color as it is obvious not a metal or whatever,  but at least it not suppose that easier drop off.

I encourage everyone use a cover on it, the best a flip cover where I always use to protect your little baby. ;-)

just now sold my s3.


Added on June 25, 2012, 10:04 pmhate to break it to you guys but honestly, this time... I'm very2 disappointed with Samsung Galaxy S3 quality. Unlike my Galaxy Note, use 2-3 months naked, then got scratch I immediately put flip case and SP, S3 in other hand, doesn't need 1 week to get scratch on the back and I was CAREFUL enough not to scratch by putting syilling, other thing else inside my pocket with the phone, yet a scratch happens, ain't even reach 1 week, already wear flip case worth RM159 also got scratch????And I sold coz I'm frustrated and worried...that the phone might get more scratch even if I'm being extremely careful with it.

need to cool off with s3 thingy.

just piece of advice to potential s3 buyers, when you're buying the phone, IMMEDIATELY BUY A SCREEN PROTECTOR and A FLIP CASE for EXTRA PROTECTION. Don't delay, buy it straight after buying the phone.

true.. buy a flip case.. cover front and back.. the phone is so frigile.. a small drop would break~

no need small drop, u put ur phone inside your pocket even without a syilling can cause scratch at the back. And I was very careful with the phone, and even wear it with flip case, still can get a tiny scratch on the display glass, really2 frustrated that time until I sold the phone doh.gif

I'm sure one day you will boring with your Lumia 900 & join back S3

got pros and cons with both of the phone. If S3 build quality is better than S2 or Note, I might leave Lumia 900, yet it wasn't. But I will join back S3 maybe next week, Lumia 900+S3 can make a good pair.

QUOTE(rattan @ Jun 25 2012, 11:29 PM)
Aduh, dont compare Lumia with S3.. alot of difference.

yeah, there's alot of differences especially the Screen, Build quality and the speakers. icon_rolleyes.gif

well its SEP singapore set.. lol.. anything just send it back to Singapore....

sometimes you not sure what is in your pants.... might be some sand grain.... cos metal blades dont scratch the screeen easily... and so far my back battery cover also no scratch cos at the moment... me only got sp and ori flip cover only... if not because i drop it.. it wont event have a scratch... or dent... lol... rolleyes.gif

anyway.. you need to be chilled... I used the phone because of the power not the outer shell.. cos the outer shell we can use otterbox or ballistics.... for inside.. i cant do anything... lol.... icon_rolleyes.gif

so cheers bro.... cool2.gif

well, I bought the phone to use it till Samsung Galaxy S4 is out (1 year), so wanna really take care of it, but it's an unpleasant feeling, not near 1 week, got scratch here and there. Some say they put syilling, key, didn't scratch their phone, but I didnt put anything and there is no sand grain in my jeans pocket, yet scratch happens. Sigh, donno what do but to cool off my head.

Might check S3's 32gb later.
