"dubious aesthetics"
really... The front is amazing, the back is meh
Great phone but the design is letdown and deal breaker.
I'll go for LG 4X HD same features,better screen and looks stunning after all
One X has better screen and it looks so much better. only advantage for s3 is sd card and removable battery. one x make first picture in 0.7 dec, s3 in 1.5sec, and i also love smart led flash in x which makes really good photos in bad conditions. And sense also looks much better than touchwize, HTC all the way for me.
castle, 20 May 2012Brilliant mobile but I have one x should I really go for itYes go for it
' There's also a 2 megapixel front-facing camera for video-calls'
Thisvshould be corrected it's 1.9 megapixel. Dunno why Samsung took away 0.1 but they did.

Awesome phone but, the appearance matters at first sight. For many people it is a make or break phenomenon. I am a diehard fan of Samsung Galaxy S series. However, I feel, it's the time Samsung seriously needs to think over construction material. They should at least use polycarbonate body if they want to keep the weight in control by not using metal body. Am currently using 4s after using SGS II for eleven months and seriously impressed with elegence and premium feel of 4s, whereas, equally depressed with iOS limitations. Ok Samsung, though you have not met my expectation by using all plastic, I am still going to buy SGS III. Please don't disappoint your customers in SGS IV.
bye bye fruit company your reign has come to an end, this is the handset to beat!

It's undoubtedly cheaper and sexier. I'm getting mine next week, I'm very excite :-) !!!
AnonD-44860, 20 May 2012hate u gsmarena .why u didnt say any thing about xperia s as a rival? did meizu or one s o... moreStop complaining, it's a review about a top class new phone. Not some old tech like Sony despite its obvious camera advantage (design is only a matter of taste, Xperia NXT are just basic monoliths/rectangles). And yes don't worry, they will review, if Sony decides to release their presumed GX monster internationaly.
So Thanks GSMA for the review, your conclusion seems the most logical since SIII announcement : Samsung just holding for others to catch up this year.
I wish Samsung didn't **** up the interface like that. Excellent phone with CM9 on that.
