I got my blue GS3 last night. I actually like the color a lot.. The first thing I did was put on a screen protector and tpu case. However, my phone came with a defect.. I had a slight hairline nick/scratch just above the light sensor... Wtf!!! In any event, below are my thoughts.
1. I prefer Sense over touchwiz so far..
2. Speed wise both are smooth and multitasking is a lot better on gs3.
3. Display is Way way better on the EVO.. The auto brightness on the GS3 is atrocious.. It auto defaults to an extremely dim setting. And the auto brightness stepping is bad.. It changes very crudely and doesn't change fluidly like EVO. Also EVO blows aways the GS3 when it comes to viewing the screen outside in direct sunlight.. The GS3 is borderline unusable in direct sunlight.. Can this auto brightness issue be fixed via software? It is really bad and basically forces you to turn off auto brightness and crank display up to max thus affecting battery life. I can see this as a deal breaker for some people.
4. Battery life has been comparable
5. GS3 gets hot.. The back bottom half of the unit gets very hot sometimes. I don't recall evo ever feeling hot
6. No fm radio :'(
7. Quandrant score is lower compared to EVO. With evo I would always get above 5000. But with GS3 it is always below 5k.. Between 4600 and 4800.. Dunno why.
