I currently have an iPhone 4S on Sprint, wanting to try something different after being on Android (OG EVO, Nexus 4S) for a while.
With the iPhone 5 announcement pretty much falling flat for me, I'm looking to transition back to Android, and am trying to compare the EVO LTE and the GS III
I've looked at most of the stats and specs, trying to tease out the differences in terms of actual connectivity and function (not minor features).
I see the GS III can go both frequencies on WiFi (2.4 and 5 compared to EVO's 2.4), but I've also seen that it may have shorter range and more drops on average compared to the EVO.
There seem to be some slight technological edges for the EVO with CDMA, but I'm not sure if I'm reading the specs correctly and coming to the right conclusions.
Finally, Samsung bears the cross of a bad reputation with radios overall.
So, experience-wise. How is the GS III with WiFi, Voice, and Data reception? If possible, compared to the EVO LTE? Any experiences with comparative LTE performance, particularly building penetration?
This is a major issue for me going forward, as my work takes me into a basement area with limited signal (1 bar 3G at most on iPhone 4S, often goes to non-3G data), and I want the phone that can pull signal and maintain connections and data speed the best. Same goes for other areas I work in and the WiFi signal, I need strong radios with good ability to pull signal without wasting battery.
Thanks.
