Confession of an S III vs S II experience:

Got a hold of the S III finally to play around with. Was honestly VERY impressed with the hardware cause from the pictures and the videos, I always thought that the design was too rounded and just in general not so nice like the SII..

So, it did take me by surprise that I didn't think that the S III design was bad or even the slightest bit unbecoming... in fact, it felt so ergonomic in the hand with the rounded back. Overall, really liked the design.

In terms of day to day uses, only 2 things stood out for me. Firstly, browsing was like indeed a very pleasant experience. I'm not so much in for the speeds and loading time cause they WERE NOT THAT different. of course the S III is DEFINITELY faster, but not by a mile. the browsing experience on the S III won heavily because of the smart stay option. Not having to bother about dimming screens and a sharper display indeed is a killer combo. It wins in that aspect, making the browsing experience VERY improved. Of course, browsing the internet was nice with that display and it of course loads everything a tad bit faster. I got mixed results when it came to browsing... maybe due to the fact that my S II was heavily modded and also probably some cached websites sometimes... Other than that, it didn't feel wayyyyyyyyy snappier compared to each other..

The camera reallllllly was the one that blew me away... the front facing camera was so god damn smooth, it felt like butter compared to our S II. and the 0 shutter lag is always impressive. I dare say it's even better than the iPhone's back camera. the sharpness and quality just blows me away.

In terms of gaming (which to me is quite important), luckily Shadowgun was installed in this dudes' phone, tried it cause I played it a lot on my S II as well... and it was not SOOOOOOOO much of a difference. Just that a bigger screen, a bit sharper details... but overall smoothness... unnoticeable to me at least.

In fact, probably you're paying RM1400++ (after trading in our via telco contract) for just a hairs inch of improvement in terms of smoothness and opening of apps. The camera and browsing experience were not justified enough for me to chip out RM1400 to change it.

RM 1400 for a better browser and camera?

I think I will wait.

Im not even sure if it's still under warranty.
Will Samsung replace it with a better LCD compared to those at normal shops or is it the exact same one?

Will my memory be erased?

I must say that this phone is one tough cookie.
Run over by SUV.
Still rings. No scratches, just a cracked LCD.
Proud of my phone!

U have to ask the SC ppl they will quote u the price or if it is warranty-able...And sad to know that gorilla cant withstand SUV LOL...It's better that you make a backup and save on ur comp,not sure they will erase or not
