The good: The Samsung Galaxy S III
(S3) comes fully loaded with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, 4G LTE
capability, a zippy dual-core processor, and a strong 8-megapixel
camera. S Beam is an excellent software enhancement, and the handset's
price is right.
The bad: The
Galaxy S3's screen is too dim, and Samsung's Siri competitor, S Voice,
disappointed. Until Sprint's LTE launch, data speeds drag on the
carrier's 3G network.
The bottom line: Pumped
with high-performing hardware and creative software features, the
Samsung Galaxy S3 is an excellent, top-end phone that's neck and neck
with the HTC One X. Unfortunately, it only runs on Sprint's 3G network
for now.
