That's a whole lot of clutter in the Notification Bar!

Other than that, no complaints.

hard to tell if this is another amoled lcd or not.

**dmmarck** · 03-06-2013, 10:36 AM

I wonder if the eye scrolling feature will be a battery killer...

Everyone has their own preferences.

After looking at this I may keep my s3, get a HTC One or MOTOX. The software alone looks identical to my S3.

Why the hell is the green check symbol slightly protruding out of its box at the top right?

Why does the virtual groove for the Smart Scroll slider not perfectly twice the area of the slider itself?

Why is this person not checking his notifications?

Ugh, Touchwiz.

Seems like it's been the same since Gingerbread... All those clashing colors, clashing design languages of different core apps and menus... And dat notification bar. Just looks chaotic.

I agree. It almost looks cartoonish next to the holo design.

Notification "clutter" has never bothered me, so that's not a deal-breaker for me. Many features have been added, so that's to be expected. You can hide the notification bar. It's the functionality that's my main concern. Dmmarck makes a valid point. How does all this affect battery life? If this phone isn't for you, there's no one holding a gun (or a drone) to your head to force you to get it. I'm very happy with my SG3, for now. Even so, when I'm eligible for an upgrade, I'll move to whatever version of the Note is available at that time.

Can't wait for the day when my phone turns into HAL... What are you doing Dave? I see your eyes looking away Dave....

From the comments on the original article, it appears this is software on an S3.

Reason for coming back to Apple was that I was not able to play music in my car through my Samsung S3. I liked this phone and as my personal experience Apple has to raise its bar to compete with Samsung S3 and going forward S4. My question is that in S4 does they fix this issue to play music in the car where it can support the MTP protocol?
If not than I have to stick with Apple. :-(

Well, you should have asked around before going to a phone just because it plays audio through your car. Hate to break your heart but the GS 3 can play audio through your car's speakers lol
