SAMSUNG GALAXY SIII REVIEW (Verizon)
What I dislike about the phone:
The phone has a lot of great aspects about it, but there are some small things I dislike about the phone (mainly Verizon’s fault). First, the endless Wifi notifications that Verizon put into the software. I wouldn’t include this if there was a way to turn them off, but there is no such thing. You have to constantly deal with a non-removable notification in the notification bar. Verizon went as far as replacing the Wifi toggle in the notification bar that TouchWiz already provides with this notification (picture showed above). Second, the endless “Connect to Wifi” pop-up notifications that appear about every 2 hours when opening a new application (picture also shown above). Again, no way to turn these off. Third, locked bootloader, but this isn’t much of a problem because XDA already found a work-around. One other small thing is that, I wish the “Menu” and “Back” capacitive buttons were switched. It just seems more natural that the back button be on the left of the device instead of the right.
What I like about the phone:
This is a long list, but I’m only going to mention a few. First, the screen, this screen is BIG, bright, vibrant, and just beautiful. The colors pop with saturated colors and deep blacks. The whites can look washed out at times, but nothing to turn you away. I was personally worried about the PenTile Matrix, but I can’t even tell it has PenTile, Samsung did an excellent job with the display. Second, the design, I love the rounded edges and physical home button. The phone is easy to fit in the hand and doesn’t feel that big being a 4.8 inch screen device. Phones were getting a little to “squarish” for me and the SIII has a very unique design. And finally, the speed, the 1.5GHz S4 Processor combined with Verizon’s 4G LTE is a great combination. This being my first 4G phone, I can tell you that it is BLAZING.
Other features I love about the S3:
I also love the camera with zero shutter lag. It takes great pictures and nothing to disappointed of. I choose TouchWiz over any other user interface I’ve used. I’ve used Sense and Motorola’s UI and they are both great, but the new TouchWiz is not as heavy on top of Android as the others (especially Sense). TouchWiz really lets Android be Android and just threw in minor changes into the operating system to make it unique. Features like: motion controls, lock screen shortcuts, and a lot more features and functions.
