I mean yeah I'm still a bit jealous of the fluidity of the iPhone 4S, I've witnessed my friend just whip it out of her purse, iMessage a friend with a smooth keyboard typing experience, and shove it back in all within 15 seconds.
The S3 is a bit clunky to pull out of my pocket and I ended up installing SwiftKey 3 to make typing go smoother.
But I'm pretty sure the charge time is due to the huge size of the battery, yet, battery life isn't too great. I still can't make it through the day, though I do use the phone A LOT with 4G and music/gaming/texting/calling.
S Voice is okay. For some reason the voice of it just really annoys me, lol. I still prefer the personality of Siri. Plus, in my experience, Siri had understood me way better than S Voice.
However today, after a terribly slow and laggy experience with Kies, I got my S3 running 4.1.1. Google Now is amazing, and I love Blocking Mode. The Mobile Toggle being removed is a minus, though, and the phone isn't any smoother with Project Butter, though it was extremely fast before and remains to be, now.
All in all, I still love it.
Here's to the best for you and your phone satisfaction! :toast:
