Reviewers have praised the Samsung Galaxy S3 as the best phone on the market, outclassing its
competitors - and even beating the iPhone at its own game.

TechRadar said 'if you're picking up an iPhone 4S: forget it' and Trusted Reviews concluded
'the S3 is light years ahead of Apple's profitable darling'. And Stuff Magazine said the S3 has
succeeded in 'toppling Apple's ageing starlet'.



The Mail Online asked Stuff Magazine for its verdict, and the magazine in turn threw down the
gauntlet to Apple.

The magazine said: 'The most hyped phone since the iPhone 4S has lived up to the hoopla, toppling
not only Apple’s ageing starlet but all of its Android rivals.

'The Galaxy S3 offers the slickest Android Ice Cream Sandwich experience we’ve seen thanks to a
1.4Ghz quad-core Exynos processor, which eats 1080p movies for breakfast and can even play them
in a pop-up window while you browse the web.

'Extras like the microSD slot and larger battery give it the edge over HTC’s One X, and the 4.8in Super
AMOLED screen is sharp and vibrant.

'We can’t wait to see how the iPhone responds.'

Trusted Reviews concluded: 'We like the look of the Galaxy S3 from the front, with its simple
design, curved corners and metal trim.

'However, the glossy plastic back really puts a damper on things - it just doesn't exude class or luxury.

Otherwise this phone is either class-leading or at least on par. The processor is stunningly fast, the screen
stunningly dazzling and the microSD slot stunningly practical.

'It may lack a certain wow factor but for features alone this phone has been worth the wait. Just.

'So all in all and in my opinion, the Samsung Galaxy S3 stands above the iPhone 4S and laughs at it. It is
far thinner, lighter and delivers more for your money.

'In terms of the user experience, the fluidity of operation, the feature set, and in virtually every area that
counts, the Samsung Galaxy S3 is light years ahead of Apple’s profitable darling.'



The respected website TechRadar, despite some criticisms, said: 'Make no mistake: the Samsung
Galaxy S3 is the best smarpthone on the market.

'And if you're thinking about picking up an iPhone 4S: forget it. You'll need to wait to see what response
Apple is cooking up with the iPhone 5, as a 3.5inch screen and the same high price tag it launched with are
no longer acceptable.'

PocketLint praised the removable battery and memory card - features which are sorely missed on
many other models. iPhones and WP7 have always stopped their users from having upgradable memory
cards, and this trend is beginning to happen on Android too.

Reviewer Chris Hall said: 'There is a lot to love about the Samsung Galaxy S III. As a premium
flagship smartphone it has plenty going for it. The huge display, the power, the smooth and fast operation
are all to its credit. Add to this the ability to change battery and expand storage and you've a very good
package indeed.
