I've got the Samsung Galaxy S III, ASK ME QUESTIONS!

[Alex Dobie]

I'm wondering what's HD video playback like, does it say play a 2-3 gig file fine or does it stutter?

The S III plays 720p MKV's flawlessly, with hardware decoding. I think the One X does the same, but don't quote me on that, I might've had to use software decoding to get things going on that phone.

I tried the SIII in a couple of shops yesterday and both had a weird issue. When I went into the browser the brightness was greatly reduced. You could actually see it change back to maximum brightness when you went back to the launcher. I played with the settings, turned auto brightness off etc but it still happened. Are you noticing this issue? It was particularly painful as at low brightness whites have a very noticable blue tint.

There's a separate brightness setting for the browser. Same with every Samsung phone.

Questions should end with question marks?



I don't have any questions at the very moment but I will certainly pipe up again if I do!

There should be a comma before but.

I want to know about MirrorLink. Is there an APK you can pull off the phone for MirrorLink? Is MirrorLink on the phone, more than just a software thing? Is there specific hardware on the phone that enables MirrorLink. I want to know if MirrorLink can be used with a Galaxy Nexus and a compatible head unit by using software or if it is indeed a hardware issue also.

How is the camera compared to the one x and other top android cameras?


Is the lag upon wake-up there like I have read a few other places?

In the browser, are you able to change user agent to default to desktop? If so, does it stay after a reboot?

In the browser, yes. All stock ICS browsers should have this.

Are you talking about AllShare Play? If so, I believe that uses parts of the TouchWiz framework, and as such probably won't work on any other phone.

My testing isn't complete yet, but I'd say it matches the One X, on the whole.

You can change your user agent through about:debug, but changes aren't saved once the app closes or is dumped out of memory.

for the first time ever I held a galaxy sII and really really liked it. How does the feel of the 2 compare?

Alex,
I wanted to thank you for the reply yesterday, you did a fabulous job! I am stuck with a Miserable Motorola Atrix2, that is stuck with a miriad of difficulties, and am currently planning to dump it. The Display is stunning on the A2 and the Audio Output is awesome.
I would like to qualify my query to you, I have a sensory Hearing defect, and also had Cataract Surgery in both eyes.The Volume Output of the Atrix 2 is probably the Loudest of any device I have heard, also the display is stunning to say the least.
I was looking at the Note and the OneX. The Display on the OneX is incredible to say the least, but Im not sure of the Audio, and the Displays at AT&T are tethered, so its hard to get a good sampling of audio. It seemed like the OneX was substantially less in Audio Output compared to the Atrix2.
I was hopeful that maybe you could inform me on the comparison to the GS-3 and the Atrix2, Call Audio and speakerphone, including Music Player Output.
I am sorry for PM'ing you, hope you can answer me. You answered the question about the display, I had the Note next to a OneX, wow what a difference, I can only assume its similiar to the GS-3 and OneX.
Im still scratching my head as to why No SD Card or Removable back, but AT&T has a habit of making radical changes to Great Phones here in the US.
I thank you for your timme, I like reaging your reviews and comments, keep up the great work.
Cheers and Beers! Thank you!
Larry

Your personal opinion: S3 or One X?

 

[smcolbert]

What's the deal with S voice?

Anything cool, or just another voice gimmick? Any cool commands?

How does it compare to Siri (features and reliability)

Alex, i have a iphone 3GS, would you say the phone feels similar to the 3GS or does it have more of a smoother and rounder feel?

Thanks.

Does the S3 use MTP or the old traditional USB storage
