ok guys i am selling my iphone 4s for S3, i heard the developers edition came out. where can i get that from? i dont want to buy it from verizon. also how is the battery life compared to galaxy nexus? i had the galaxy nexus and the battery life sucked!!! even with the extended battery. Anyone else coming from iphone to S3? how is ur been experience so far? and what about jelly bean? when do you s3 will get jelly bean?
 
my guess Is that it would be quite a while before jb. Samsung non nexus usually take a long time. I have heard rumors of q4, but i am skeptical about that.
 
I think you buy the dev S3 from Samsung. My s3 lasted me a full day the other day. I can't really compare to the gnex but it's way better than my incredible 2. And as for jb, it's up to Verizon and see how they want to screw us over with updates.

I came from the iPhone 4s and I love this phone I am really enjoying it and it lasts me all day usually unless you do some serious streaming but you wont get the same life as the iPhone the specs are just to big of a difference for that kind of life but I love it I would make the switch

These are some examples of pretty good use over lte and WiFi throughout the day

I also switched form the iPhone 4S, which I have had since the day after it came out. I am in love with the screen. It is just amazing. Battery life is just about the same for me unless I'm using GPS. Don't plan on going back to iOS anytime soon. :)
 
I have a 4s which I am keeping and and S III.
iPhone has;
Slightly better text.
Better camera and software.
Excellent battery life.
Great app selection and quality.
Better build quality, service and support.
No bloatware.
A little smoother still but Android is getting there with minimal lag. Finally.

S III has,
Bigger screen but slightly worse text.
Better voice sound quality.
Much choice in alternate roms which you will need because stock sucks.

The camera being better is debatable. I have not seen a pic taken by a 4s that is better than my phone. If anything its a draw

I've had an Iphone for the last year and it does take better pictures in my opinion.

I've read somewhere that the hardware for the camera is the same with the 4s and s3

I can see why some might say the 4s has a better camera, it is heavier and there is thickness in the body that makes you grip it better and motion blur (movement of the camera while taking a still) is less likely because of the better grip. I am sometimes struggling to hold my s3 when taking photographs.

guys i dont really care so much for the camera my concern is the locked bootloader.. is it worth buying it? i wanna be able to install custom roms and mods but since the bootloader is locked is that still possible?
 
I agree

Its all a matter of opinion to me I suppose, I was just doing a direct comparison with my sisters 4s tonight, and the pics on my GSIII were more accurate and looked just plain better IMO. She agreed which is a big stretch for her as she is a huge iphone fan girl. I have also read several professional reviews that take the same stand I am.

I think the s3 has better options software wise but just the raw image I think is better on the 4s in my opinion ..but I think its really close

I miss my 4s to death. I just sold it so I can get the most money out of it before the next iPhone is announced. ($450) anyways, you will really like the S III. Its light, Slim, feels good in the hands and touch wiz isn?t too bad. The Camera isn?t as good as the 4s but I?m sure you?ll live :p
 
My battery life on Slll is 35 to 40 percent better than my nexus. And that's with 4G on on the Slll and off on the nexus. My nexus will not work on 4G

Even if that is true the software makes a major difference.

I still have a 4s. My work phone was a Blackberry but now we are being issued iPhones. This gave me the opportunity to buy the S III on Verizon and still have an iPhone through work. I paid full price so I can upgrade to the iPhone 5 if I want for a subsidized price.
I work for a very well known global company with 65,000 employees. Android was reviewed but dropped from consideration as it is highly insecure. There are also no mass management tools of the type needed for thousands of phones.
Anyway its the best of both worlds to have a 4s and a S 3.
