Samsung Galaxy S3 or HTC One X?
Q. Which phone is better?
A. Hi, buy the Samsung Galaxy SIII (Samsung Galaxy S3) here is my experience
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0080DJ6CM/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0080DJ6CM&linkCode=as2&tag=acomprar-20
I am so happy with this phone. Just got this phone on July 20th so I haven't tested out all the features. But I still say that it's just amazing and worth every penny. Apple fan boys beware cause Samsung is here to stay. The phone is extremely light and the display is very big and beautiful. The phone does look big at first, however web browsing, reading books and playing games is very easy due to the screen size. In addition after a while you do warm up to the size and it's hard to go back to a smaller phone. In addition the user experience is great.
I had read tons of reviews and articles about problems with the battery and mic etc with this phone. However I have not experienced any of these.
***Battery***
Battery is great. After charging it for about 4 hours or so and browsing for about 3 hours, downloading games, making several phone calls (over 3 hours in total), taking pictures, playing music and using S Voice; I got over 36 hours and counting on the phone on a single charge. I should note that I did make some modifications however by occasionally turning off WIFI, turning off Bluetooth, syncing and a couple other battery draining options. In addition Samsung has a cool power saving option that helps to maximize battery life.
***Microphone***
Had no problem. I could hear the other person clearly and they could hear me clearly too. There is also a volume boost option for when you are on a call and what extra volume. Pretty cool if you ask me and it does make a significant difference.
***No Overheating***
I haven't had that problem at all. Even with a phone case on the phone did not overheat.
***Charging***
Phone charged perfectly fine. Didn't get stuck or anything. And it also charged very quickly. Probably charged less than 4 hours. Didn't really time it, but after 4 hours it was fully charged.
***WIFI***
The WIFI connection is great. Signal didn't drop or anything.
SOME CONS:
1. User Manual and set up - Had some problems at first because the phone came with a printed Spanish manual. But luckily they have the user manual in all languages online and the set up is also pretty easy to follow on the phone. Several programs like S voice also defaulted to Spanish even after setting up the phone with the default language being English.
2. Back Cover - Some people did complain about the back cover which I agree could have been designed better as it does give it a somewhat cheap look. However it is easy to remove, clean and who doesn't love a removable battery. I have also seen at least one pic on the web where the back cover was cracking, however I have not experienced this for myself.
3. Color Saturation - Another thing is that though the camera takes great pictures, the phone display makes the colors look very saturated when compared to other phones. Will see if there are any options I can select to improve this.
4. S Voice - S voice unlike Siri can open up all the apps on the phone and has some other cool features. But S voice can be a little annoying as it doesn't get what you are asking or telling it to do at times (Siri does have similar problems but not as pronounced). It also at times didn't recognize my wake up voice command (Hi Galaxy). If you ask S voice if you need an umbrella it is smart enough to pull up the weather forecast for your area. However I had some difficulty setting an alarm as each time I would say 6:00 am, it would register it as 6:00pm. I eventually got this fixed by changing how I said the command. If you also speak too slowly it doesn't pick up on what you are saying. S voice also isn't as funny or intuitive as other voice recognition tools. If you ask "what sound does a cat make?", it will ask if you would like to Google it rather than just be proactive and google it. The only workaround is to tell it to "search for what sound does a cat make". Not a major game changer; but again if you are expecting S voice to be as perfect as you see those "Andrew" Android straight talk ads, then forget it. Be prepared to repeat yourself a couple times before S voice gets it right. But as annoying as it is, it does make hands free driving and cooking some what easier. Had no problems telling S voice to make calls or send a text.
iPhone 4 VS Samsung galaxy S 3?
Q. Would like to hear the insights of people who used iphone and/or Samsung galaxy.
I want to buy the S 3, I am just a bit hesitant and not sure if it deserves the hype it's been given
I meant iPhone 4S, sorry
A. Just buy the s3. Do not hesitate.
S3 has already displace iphone in UK - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/mobile-phones/9306491/Samsung-Galaxy-S3-displaces-iPhone-as-UKs-most-popular-phone.html
Some features - Gestures have been introduced on a number of Android handsets, including the preceding Galaxy S2, but they have been inconsistent and fiddly.
Samsung has heavily promoted the gesture set on the S3, so the firm would have been left red-faced if they didn't perform.
Out of the numerous features, Smart Stay, Direct Call, Palm Sweep and Turnover are our favourites and will be the most useful to business users.
Smart Stay is a feature which uses the 1.9-megapixel front facing camera to track your eyes. When the phone detects you have looked away from the device, it will dim the display and switch off (depending on length of screen time out), but as long as you maintain eye contact, it will continue at full brightness.
This is particularly useful if you put the device down for a couple of seconds. The display may dim, but once you pick it up it will brighten up. The feature also means the screen will not dim when reading web pages, but there are problems in low-light.
Direct call is simpler, but just as effective. When you are viewing or writing a text message, browsing a contact or checking a missed call, the phone will call the person if you raise the device to your ear. The system isnât perfect and we found it to be inconsistent when you are typing message. However, when we were viewing a message, it worked everytime and saved a couple of clicks.
Raise the phone to your ear when a contact is on screen to call them
Palm Sweep helps to simplify the process of taking screen shots. These have always been fiddly on Android phones â requiring users to simultaneously hold volume and lock buttons down.
Samsung has simplified this experience. To take a screen grab you simply use the edge of your hand and swipe from the right hand edge to left edge (more examples of these later on). This is quick and particularly useful when using apps such as Docs to Go as you can take screen grabs of important pictures or documents.
It is also possible to capture screen grabs of internet web pages too, but these can be tricky as it is easy to scroll down by accident. We also found you have to be viewing the webpage in âdesktop modeâ and it is only possible to take screen grabs in portrait mode.
Turnover is another simple idea which will be useful for business user who forget to turn their devices to silent when entering meetings. If the phone rings, you turn it over to mute it instantly and avoid disruption.
50GB of Dropbox and expansion
Most high-end smartphones on the market, such as the iPhone 4S and HTC One X, offer some form of cloud-based storage. With the iPhone 4S Apple offers 5GB of storage with its iCloud and HTC offers 25GB of Dropbox space for two years with its One range of devices.
However, Samsung has trumped them both by offering a mammoth 50GB of storage space for two years. Although business users are unlikely to want to store confidential information in their Dropbox account, it is an invaluable resource for saving documents, pictures, videos and music.
Not only does Samsung top its rival when it comes to cloud-based storage, the S3 is the most expandable high-end device on the market.
Samsung allows users to remove the back cover to gain access to the battery and add in a micro-SD card of up to 64GB in size. This essentially turns the device into a sizeable hard disk and is great for business users as they can invest in a spare battery.
3. Unrivalled performance
The S3 is the quickest and most responsive smartphone we've tested. Samsung has manufactured its own Exynos 1.4GHz quad-core processor using a 32nm process to improve efficiency. The firm has also added in 1GB of RAM.
Opening and switching between apps is lag free. The device also comes with a Pop up play feature, which allows users to carry on watching a video and use other applications such as messages. This is an excellent feature and allows PC-like multitasking as opposed to just âapp switchingâ.
The S3 is capable of PC-like multitasking when it comes to watching videos
The high performance of the S3 is backed up by benchmarking. Using the Geekbench app, which measures devices based on processor speed and memory, the S3 scored an average of 1387. This is considerably higher than the HTC One X (709) and nearly double the 626 for the iPhone 4S.
