Q. I want the Samsung Galaxy S3 but I have some questions first. How much is the actual phone and the plan/monthly payment? Is it cheaper than the iPhone? What is your opinion of this phone? Is it a good phone? Does the screen break easily? Does it have a good camera? What apps can i get? Are any of the other Samsung phones better? Or which one do you prefer? Preferably one that is a touch screen and can get apps.
A. I currently have the Samsung Galaxy S3 and an iPhone 4. I cannot compare the iPhone 4 to the Galaxy because the 4 is aging with the 4s that is the current apple phone. However even with these two compared the Galaxy wins hands down in terms of processor speed. Currently the Galaxy is the fastest phone available in the android market and in whole as well. We have yet to wait for the iPhone 5 to be out and what exact specs it will bring. The Galaxy right now is the Ferrari of smartphones. I've had an android phone before, the Motorola droid and the new android OS 4.0 ice cream sandwich is so smooth and fast and is nothing like its old predecessors where it used to lag and be choppy.
It's got neat features being "smart". When you look at the phone's screen for reading or anything the phone's camera will detect your eye movements and will not turn off the screen which normal phones do after a timeout. When you look through your contacts and you hold the phone to your ear it automatically calls the contact you were looking at. When you are away from the phone and you get a missed call or text, it will notify you when you hold your phone by vibrating. When you're in a meeting and you get a call and forgot to turn it to silent you can turn your phone face down on it's screen on a surface OR put your palm over the screen of the phone and it will turn silent. You can take a screenshot of your phones screen just by swiping your palm from right to left on the screen.
So it's got a lot of smart features and more. You can play videos in a pop up display while your browsing the web or texting. The camera is 8 megapixels like the iPhone 4s and because of it's bigger screen it a lot better in taking pictures. It even has a smile sensor that when it detects someone smiling it will snap automatically.
The durability of this phone is great. There are people who say that the Samsung feels cheap for a premium price using plastics, but this is not a bad thing. The phone is lightweight than the iPhone and it doesn't break easily. I dropped my iphone once while standing onto the road because my grip on the phone slipped. The back glass cover panel broke like how glass breaks. I had to replace the back. I already dropped my Galaxy a couple of times without having a case or cover because the phone was just new and cases were not available yet in the first few weeks being released. Nothing happened to the display. Just a minor scratch on the body. Even the iPhone can get scratches and chips.
The Galaxy is slim, lightweight, good design, LTE 4G (the 4s is not LTE compliant, you can use 4g speeds instead of 3g), intelligent, and high performance. Of course it can and will be beaten by another phone, but right now it is the best out in the market being neck and neck with the HTC One X.
Out of the Samsung line, this is the best yet, the next would be the Google Nexus phone by Samsung. You get standard apps and you also have radio in the phone. You can download apps in Google Play Store which is just like the App Store in Apple.

More details .........The Samsung Galaxy S II uses a 108.5-millimetre (4.27 in)[12] WVGA (800 x 480) Super AMOLED Plus capacitive touchscreen that is covered by Gorilla Glass with an oleophobic fingerprint-resistant coating. The display is an upgrade of its predecessor, and the "Plus" signifies that the display panel has done away with Pentile matrix to regular RGB matrix display which results in a 50% increase in sub-pixels. This translates to grain reduction and sharper images and text. In addition, Samsung has claimed that Super AMOLED Plus displays are 18% more power efficient than the older Super AMOLED displays.[48] Some phones have display issues, with a few users reporting a "yellow tint" on the left bottom edge of the display when a neutral grey background is displayed.[49]
Red pixel on my Samsung GalaxyS Epic 4g?
Q. There is a red pixel Samsung GalaxyS Epic 4g, and when ever i try to wipe it off, it doesn't come off, so it must be in the phone. I've tried re-booted my phone, any suggestions? It's kind of annoying.
A. Ah the dreaded dead pixel. You sir have a dead pixel. Your phone is made up of 800 x 400 pixels for its display. One of those is dead. Those can't be fixed. I hope its still under one year a one year warranty, if so Samsung may fix it for you. On TVs dead pixels aren't covered but maybe on a cell phone. If not i hope you have cell insurance with your carrier, but then again that may not be a covered item. Sadly you need a new display. Good luck.
