They're released next week, you're a bit early to be asking for user's opinions.

I don`t know but its good.The ability to wake a phone from voice only would be great.

Depends what you need it for/what features you want.

The S3. The S2 surpassed anything that the 4S could do in almost every tech test done & the S3 blows the S2 away.

The S3 is the reason Apple have delayed the iphone 5, now rumoured to be launching around end of October/start of November.

The cynic in me screams that their relying on Xmas to boost sales, can't really be that good if you need a gimmicky holiday to sell it.

I'm probably not due upgrade till some time next year, when it's time I might try an S3, I'm tempted to go back to an Iphone for the slightly better battery life over Android phones but I quite like my current Galaxy S2.

apple hasn't got better battery life over all the android phones i got a Xperia Neo and that battery lasts longer than iphone 4s with around the same amount of usage and i suspect many android phones do you just don't know it.

Btw if it's samsung your into get the s2/3

If you're a wuss, and you fear your 'friends' will laugh at you for not having an iphone, then get the iphone.

On the other hand, if you eat wusses for breakfast, and you couldn't care less that your 'friends' paid shedloads more for an iphone, then get the Samsung S2 or S3.

All smartphones have relatively poor battery life compared to the last generation of dumb phones; it's recommended you charge them every day

If I don't listen to music much, a full charge on my S2 can last me 2 days, it's listening to music that kills the battery

Go with O2, they have UK call centres, unlike 3's Indian ones.

That was a BIG reason I told 3 they could kiss my arse just over 2 years ago, and I gave them 30 days notice in writing to end the contract, which they ignored so I had to ring up and get upset with one of their sales monkeys (I would probably have been better off talking to a monkey IMO)

There’s no big different between the iphone 4 and 4S so I suggest you to take the Samsung S3.
