* S Beam for easy and fast file transfers
* User-accessible 2100mAh battery over non-removable 1800mAh battery

The Samsung Galaxy S III has a slight edge in processing, the Mali-400MP GPU nosing out the HTC One X ULP GeForce. It's also the one with the better screen: the 4.8" Super AMOLED has superior contrast, viewing angles, sunlight legibility and, thanks to the screen saturation modes, greater flexibility. It does use a PenTile matrix, but it hardly makes any difference at those ppi levels.

The still camera and video recording (in good lighting) and audio quality tests win a few more points for the Samsung I9300 Galaxy S III, and so do the better battery life and expandable storage.

Finally, Samsung have managed to teach their top dog plenty of neat software tricks and while some of them are rather useless (technology still hasn't reached the point where voice assistants are actually good for more than a few laughs), others are pretty cool (we really loved the Direct Call and Smart Stay features).

If that 4G LTE version is the same as the one planned for Japan, you may want to check the specs again. It has a dual core 1.5 Ghz CPU instead of the quad core the other version has.

Man, the specs on this phone are just flat out SICK, I don't think I've ever seen peope talk about putting a quad core processor in a phone before!

I've had my Galaxy S2 for a while now and it is bar none the best phone I have ever had the pleasure of using. Is there anyone here that's had play around with the S3? Is it worth investing in this model a bit further down the track, or am I better off just waiting a year or so for the S4, since there really is nothing wrong with the S2...
