JUST GOT MY GS3 AND NOT SURE WHY PEOPLE LIKE THIS PHONE THE EVO IS BETTER PLAIN AND SIMPLE I HAVE BOTH . Big mistake for me of getting this phone. Evo screen is way better and the evo feels bigger and better. Any questions about this phone versus the evo just ask ill give you the honest truth.

I never even considered the GS3 because I already know I don't like touchwiz. If the EVOLTE didn't exist, I would have gotten the nexus. Did they at least scale the touchwiz down? Always looked like a kids toy to me.

It's better but not even close to sence 4 I don't like it. The screen just really bother me having the evo for a month it just crisp with everything. My pictures look like a turd on this phone. I really was aspecting more I haven't really did allot with this phone cause I keep using my evo for everything. They seem about the same speed for everyday use.

Well my good friend just came over to show off & compare his New GSIII to my EvoLTE. Well let me know after coming from the E4GT this phone looks & feels almost identical. It is bigger than the EvoLTE but it is lighter & thinner which makes it extremely hard to hold comfortably & safely IMO. The screen doesn't even come close to the Evo. The colors are way over saturated and it has a bluish tint to it. TouchWiz is back & ugly as hell. It does open apps and switch between screens with no noticeable lag which is a plus cause the Evo has been laggy for me at times. Overall Im happy with my decision to get the Evo. Think I'll pass on GSIII and maybe go with the Note 2 if Sprint gets it.

I don't know if it matter or not but I get 5200 on Quadrant with evo. The galaxy s3 3967 whats the deal with that i ran it eight times and cant crack 4000 i thought theu had the same internals.

I hear people talking about the S3 like some new god of a phone, but I honestly prefer HTC, with Sense. The hardware and benchmarks are so similar, you really have to look at the devices and see what you personally prefer for the experience of the phone. I prefer the style of the phone to the G S3, and the extras like the dedicated photo key, which I use a lot, and the kickstand, which I actually use a lot as well. Don't forget the SLCD2, too.

I agree the evo is better IMO
Also my galaxy note is better also ...I almost went to the s3 because everyone raving about it....hahahaha I'll pass

Touchjizz and the GS3 look like a redeveloped iFail to me.
I agree that the G3 isn't that great, but for most people who aren't exactly super picky like us, will suck up the fact that touchwiz is god awful ugly and use the phone. Much like the iPhone, Samsung is doing a lovely job with the bandwagon advertising. People think the phone is god, people will buy said phone pretending all flaws do not exist.
I guess everyone's opinion will be different. I'm sure I would still prefer the EVO over the S3 myself, if given a choice...I just find it interesting how the screen on the Galaxy phones are always said to be color inaccurate and not as good as the LCDs on phones. I say this because OLED TVs are supposed to be the next big thing with the most accurate color reproduction of any TV to date, plus a sharper picture and best contrast ratio. And they will be damn expensive when they hit the market. I'm guessing there must be some kind of difference between the phone and TV version of the screens.

Yeah, it seems like everyone has said that when comparing them side by side... It's just strange when OLED is supposed to be the 'superior' technology. Maybe it's just a phone thing... on a side note, though, my next TV will definitely be a Sony and not a Samsung. Had problems with every Samsung we've had, and absolutely zero with every Sony.
Thanks, I feel better for sticking with my EVO LTE.
I'm wondering if people who own the GS3 are also having the same issues with text and calls not going through as well as connectivity issues some EVOLTE users are experiencing. If so, we would be able to narrow down these issues directly to Sprints network instead of blaming the phone.

On my rezound on 4g I did a speed test and got 43mb down. At home 5-7mb. Why do you think my home still connects at 4g but is so much slower?
Also I can't download from the web but can surf the web where I got 43mb. I wonder why??
And at home I connect at 4g but it changes to 3g sometimes.

You probably have a weaker signal at home.
Hi. Here's an update.
I don't have the Rezound now. Returned it and got an iPhone 4s white 32gb yesterday. Didn't like how siri sucked for me and couple other issues so I returned it today.
I got today the Galaxy Nexus. While setting it up it changed from 4G to 3G a lot. I think most of the time it said 3G. What's going on? The rezound said 4G more often. Now with the Nexus, I think it says 3g more.

There have been numerous complaints about the galaxy nexus having a weak radio. Should have stuck with the rezound.
Who let you keep switching out the phone? Usually they only let you switch out a device once.

I was off contract. My contract ended couple weeks ago. They always told me I could return it within 14 days.
I didn't keep the Rezound because I have the Droid Incredible and the Rezound screen didn't seem that much better. No wow factor really. I liked it, just not much better I thought. I liked the ear buds and the 4G. Sense had couple nice things my Incredible doesn't have.
Got Nexus cus it was nicer screen some say. And its ICS. I did see a Rezoumd vs Nexus review and he said Nexus was about 3mbps slower 4G then the Rezound download and about 1 or 2mbps lower on the upload. Some recommend Nexus over Rezound so I thought I would try the Nexus now.

Where I work I get 4G signal on one or two bars, while a coworker on his Galaxy Nexus only get 3G. I guess it has to due with maybe a reception issue on the Galaxy Nexus.
Tbaker, is yer phone a nexus?
I think I'm taking the nexus back and getting the Rezound again today after I wake up. It's 2am pst for me and I go to bed soon.
I play monopoly on my nexus and it has major touch issues and a sound issue too. Didn't have this issue so much with the Rezound when I had it. I'm a bit bugged.
But I like if possible to have ICS no sense on the Rezound.
I'm just bothered by the nexus worse signal and couple other things. So maybe I can get ICS on the Rezound. I do like Senseless ICS though.

I did alot of reading before pulling the trigger on my upgrade. I was coming from an OG droid , so really wanted an updated phone this time. I figured it was the Gnex from all the hype and being a dev phone etc.. Luckily, I waited a bit and read the forums for the 3 big phones. Saw that the Gnex had alot of radio strength issues, so went with the Rezound because as much as I like to play with the phone it still needs to work for me.
I don't know how much you read prior to getting the Gnex , but you could have found out the common issues without having to try it out
Yeah I did read the engadget reviews on the nexus and saw a video comparing the nexus and resound. Every article or review basically said the nexus was the one to get. The video guy said and showed the nexus was 3mb slower on the 4g download and 1 or 2 mb slower on 4g upload.
I'm taking the nexus back. I can't stand the touch issues in monopoly and right now I hate the nexus keyboard. Its pausing every couple letters really bad. Plus I don't like how low the speaker is cus I listen to the bible when I go to bed. Nexus sounds poor and lower volume.
But what I don't like about the Resound is how it is so similar to my incredible. The screen doesn't seem much better then my incredible. But it may if it ran ics without sense. That possible with a rom? I liked the 4g and speaker wàs OK. Included earbuds were nice except kept falling out my ears lol. Plus rezound is $100 cheaper then the nexus. Yet still includes the ear buds.

That means every thing looks good when you don't have it, but when you do have it, it isn't worth the hype.
In other words, buyer's remorse.
You don't think the screen is much better than the incredible? Either you are blind or you got a bad screen. I had an incredible the amoled one even, the screens aren't even comparable, if you want to compare screens compare it to the nexus and the rezound still wins.
Oh ok lol.
I got the rezound again few hrs ago. I'm just noticing an anti glare type coating on the rezound screen. I notice stuff on the whole screen when looking at it from an Angle. Really buggs me. I hate anti glare coating on anything and I prefer the clear screens of tv, monitor etc even with glare. What I am referring to looks a lot like anti glare coating.
The 4g signal though it for sure better then the nexus.

If you wanted to buy a different sprint phone today without committing to a new contract, I would argue that there is no phone better at this price point. The fact that this phone can be purchased used on craigslist for $100, rooted and rommed up with just a minimal amount of hassles is mindboggling. If someone can show me a better deal please do.
I consider that the Evo 3D with ICS is a better phone than S3(which is a crappy copy of iPhone)

You're joking, right?
1) Out of nowhere you compared the two phones.
2) The galaxy s3 is better than the evo 3d. What you said is like saying the Xbox 360 is better than the ps4. The ps4 will come out later with next Gen hardware. The galaxy s3 will come out later with next Gen hardware.
3) The s3 is a copy of the iPhone? Is that a joke? Just because they have a hardware home button doesn't suddenly make them iPhone clones. Other than that, they are probably the complete opposite of iPhones.

IMHO Samsung makes great appliances(home electronics, washers, dryers, etc.) Their cellular phones don't do anything for me and as a previous user stated, the build quality is less than impressive. The screens always have that weird hue to them prolly due to AMOLED which i dont find appealing. And the samsung phones i've played with or friends that have them seem to have lots of issues with signal retention. Lets not forget the countless GPS problems that have been complained about on many occasions.

Another one of these threads.....
Anyway... the S3 screen is a joke in comparison to the EVOs, unless you like oversaturation, pixely pentile display, blue tinted colors and dark black blotches on black screens. Build quality is better on the EVO, Sense destroys Touchwiz, EVO gets better battery life and it scores better in benchmarks. I could go on all day, but the EVO by far is better.
Although the S3 has far better development. Also the S3 seems to be far more popular and the EVO is the underdog.
I've been a HTC user for a while now. I had the OG Evo 4G then the Evo 3D before this, still have the 3D actually. Had the Touch, Touch Pro, and Touch Pro 2 before those. I've always been impressed with HTC build quality and Samsung has always felt cheaper. I've never really liked Samsung screens. I've definitely never liked TouchWiz!! The camera and screen played a big decision as far as hardware goes. I assume both will have excellent developers jump on board, so that really wasn't a factor for me.
Sent from my EVO 4G LTE using XDA Premium
I'll be honest. I have both. The HTC build quality can't be touched. Screen is a toss up, the S3 is more vibrant but not as natural. As far as the performance and features, the S3 is far superior. Absolutely no lag which I feel with the evo. I was rooted on evo with meanrom. I haven't rooted my S3 yet. Honestly, go for the S3. Cant wait to get rid of the cartoony touchwiz. Check out both, either way you won't be disappointed.

Are you saying that your rooted EVO with MeanROM is more laggy than a stock S3? I definitely noticed that the S3 is smoother when I played with both in the Sprint store, but I was hoping ROMs will be able to fix this. I was also able to change the launcher to Apex on the S3, so it seems pretty easy to get rid of TouchWiz?
Just watched the iPhone 5 keynote...EVO LTE is still a better phone. Android Jelly Bean is still a better OS. My, how the mighty have fallen. They once set the bar, now they're just catching up and getting left behind. The sad thing is, they will continue to sell boatloads of phones and millions of people will still think their phone is the most advanced phone ever....until someone shows them an Android or Windows phone (that isn't $50 dollars).
I'd still buy an iPhone for someone like my parents. It's simple as crap to use. When apps crash on the iPhone, it just vanishes and no one knows what the hell happened, so they just think they must have pressed a button to close it. lol It's a seamless experience for technophobes.
I am STILL glad I bought my EVO LTE.
The hardware especially the camera look nice but the software was another disappointment as expected. They will still sell like crazy tho

It looks like a great phone. I'm not a fan of the size personally, and I don't really care for iOS, but I can see this selling a lot. They obviously put a lot of effort into the details. Having a new connector sucks for people who have docks, but such is life I guess.
It's got all of the essential features that other phones have, like panorama and taking pictures while recording video, and it's an attractive device.

To be fair, a screen can have a lower PPI but still look better. PPI is mostly a buzzword these days.

Just watched the iPhone 5 keynote...EVO LTE is still a better phone. Android Jelly Bean is still a better OS. My, how the mighty have fallen. They once set the bar, now they're just catching up and getting left behind. The sad thing is, they will continue to sell boatloads of phones and millions of people will still think their phone is the most advanced phone ever....until someone shows them an Android or Windows phone (that isn't $50 dollars).
I'd still buy an iPhone for someone like my parents. It's simple as crap to use. When apps crash on the iPhone, it just vanishes and no one knows what the hell happened, so they just think they must have pressed a button to close it. lol It's a seamless experience for technophobes.
I am STILL glad I bought my EVO LTE.

Who has true, stock, functioning JB on their EVO? We're stuck with Sense.
The iPhone 4s camera is superior to mine on the EVO, so I'd assume the 5 is better still.
Further, the new iPhone will have LTE on Verizon and ATT. That's a true benefit over the Sprint network our EVOs are tethered to. Atlanta is live for Sprint, my ass.
Rationalize all you want, but Apple has released a beautiful piece of kit that will outsell this device by a factor of 500 or more.
Peace.

Apple does not have a better camera. That is opinion. I have an Lte and a 4g rezound. Ive had a blazing fast 4g phone for ten months. Wow but now apple has it. Whatever. You're just like every other apple dupe. They are finally putting a phone out with tech we have had for 6 months or more and the all of a sudden the world takes notice

Actually do some research on that. It was engadget that explained it pretty well. The rezound screen is pretty amazing

The screen isn't necessarily amazing because of the PPI though. This phone's screen is considered to be the best around and it has a lower PPI than the Rezound does.
And HTC and Samsung hold crucial lte patents Apple needs. They will most def.be sued in court. And the apple fans will cry these law suits are stifling innovation!

Apple just filed another lawsuit against Samsung violating the panoramic picture feature they are going to have in the iPhone 5.

Well that is.certainly what apple fans say.
And ppi is pretty important. The iPhone 4s is second in the world.
Ive used both but my opinion doesn't really matter. That's why I suggested you research it

What's a dupe?
Your attempts at name calling aside, I had a 4S for two weeks when I started a new job. I'm telling you, the camera is better. Period. If you disagree, you do not mind over-saturated reds and pinks, nor lots of noise in low light.
My EVO in real world application is a sloth when it needs to stream, download, navigate, anything requiring that thing called DATA.
Enjoy your world-class tech at 200 kbps down.

What's there to research? I've read reviews for each phone. The Rezound does have a great screen, and a high PPI. This phone has a better screen, but a lower PPI. That goes to show that a higher PPI doesn't equal a better screen. Sure, it's a good thing to have, but it is by no means a 100% accurate way to judge quality.

No I enjoy my rezound which gets up to 25 mb dl speed. I don't blame HTC for sprints network. And I disagree about the camera. Sorry I guess dupe was a little harsh but I completly disagree with you.
But hey to each his own. Get the iPhone that you will have for two years. It's already outdated.

So what's your point I guess? I do not think the 4s screen is better then either of my phones. I guess if you're just saying ppi doesn't matter I have to disagree. It does matter .

My point is that just because the iPhone 5 doesn't have a PPI as high as the Rezound, doesn't mean that the display is inferior to that of the Rezound, which you implied in your initial post.
So Guys,
The speaker just blew on my rezound. I called verizon and theyre sending me a d-inc 4g. I think it seems like a pretty good phone, but one that will soon be outdated.
What are your thoughts on that device?
And now, the big question. I know its hard for us to admit, but is it possible that the iphone 5 is better than all high end android devices? is it the best smartphone out there? what do you think? Having been an android user for 5 phones, what do you think? (i love my ipad and macbook)
Should i get the iphone 5?
Thanks!
IPhone5 beats most high end android phones spec wise... Some say the gs3 beats it but it is a fact that the newer galaxy note 2 beats the iPhone spec wise.
Not to mention the new Android phones coming out soon, the HTC dlx, the HTC J, and the new LG nexus which will for sure reign supreme upon launch.
But.. It's all up to you, do you like to mod or customize your phone? Get an android
Do you like a phone that just works no bells and whistles? Then get an iPhone

I'm not a big fan of the gs3. that whole nature thing bothers me, and i just dont like it in general.
the iphone seems really good. but everyone has it, were xda people. is it too dumbed down for advanced users like us?
after years of telling people to get a droid, not the iphone. should i really go out and buy one?
so get an S3, root it and put aosp on it. whats the problem? also he nature bothers you? .. you clearly haven't used one.
1.) the lock screen ripple effect can be turned off
2.) any "nature " sounds can be turned off and replaced. hell, every sound I use is from HTC phones.. gamma, vector, ascend etc
3.) why don't you like the phone itself though? it's fast, screen is great, camera is amazing, it's thin, and it's just awesome.

I prefer the freedom of an android to the confinement of an i-phone. It's also nice to have a greater option to install your own apps

I just feel like its tacky and overdone, like a ripple unlock screen on a phone? i like it to be a little simpler than that.
I have used one, i dont like it.
I could put aosp on it and fix the problem. but im still not sure if its the best choice.
again, ripple lock screen (which looks badass and is original, mind you) can be turned off. mine is off. It's a simple lock that shows up and you swipe in any direction to unlock it. Again, that nature stuff isn't really apparent at all on this phone.

What's better, the d inc 4g or the Rez?
Dinc 4g is smaller than the Rezound. That is a negative. Well, at least it is to me. I will would opt in for the SGS3 if at all possible. Oh, and one more thing. You get an iPhone anything. And I shall hunt you down and wiz all over that thing. Lol! No, in all seriousness. If all your other products are Apple. Why would you want to break up the "eco system"? Unless you really like variety and phone modding.
But seriously the SGS3 is wicked pissa kid! It is smooth even with apps loaded to the hills on it. Browsing the web is not bad by any stretch of the imagination. You put the proper ROM and kernel on it and the battery will last forever. I have it under clocked and under volted. And this thing still doesn't miss a beat.

Honestly. I'd say the rezound. It runs sense 4 better than the Inc does.

I'd probably take the rezound, too. Inc isn't a bad little phone but I hate the screen compared to rezound. camera is faster, though.

Gs3>rezound>iPhone 5> I would never give up my rezound for an iPhone 5. Android uses iOS as a toilet. Regardless of specs android is just too much better than iOS. And anyone who wouldn't take a gs3 over a rezound is an idiot and i dont even own a gs3. Its a better phone period...there's no argument...

Friend of mine just got an i5. Best part about it is battery life. It's really good. He had 2:45 mins of usage and was at 75%. I owned a 4s so I know I wouldn't want the new iPhone. I love my androids. But the new s4 and pro processors get extremely good battery life compared to the older stuff
I hate to rain on everyone's parade, but the iPhone5 is a GREAT device.
My girl has one, and it is just so smooth in all its graphic movements (scrolling), transitions, and all-around responsiveness.
I will probably always prefer HTC Android devices for the devs, ROMs, screen size, and Sense UI, but there's no denying that the 5 is an amazing piece of kit. It positively KILLED my Rezzy in a side-by-side app-loading and scrolling comparison. The 5 is smooth as silk.
That said, I can do more with my Rezound, I love my larger display, and we have the all-important Menu key! So for me, I prefer the Rezound.
By smooth scrolling you mean how it pulls system input to the top of ye CpU list, forcing everything else to stop momentarily?
