Hardware convincingly Software Samsung

The hardware of the S3 is very compelling. The display is sharp and even in Animtatione Files extremely liquid. The resolution is great, the cameras make good video and streams and adjusts the quality of speakers and microphone. Even the battery has a good maturity with two and a half days. I must say that I update my mail (IMAP), contacts (iCard) and the calendar (iCal) regularly over 3G. The Nexus S has - made limp at the same configuration by day and a half - for comparison.

Enttäuchend is the software. The basic programs such as telephone, contact list, calendar, SMS and email to see nothing, are technically at the level of 1 Android and otherwise completely devoid of ideas. The launcher also reminds me of the old from my Galaxy tablet before I've updated to Gingerbread. The latter can at least replace it with a model from the Play Store. Samsung tools such as the voice and face recognition function only partially. Otherwise, a bunch of featured apps are preinstalled on the phone and of course Samsung's "useful" house apps. The latter can not uninstall it easily.

After a few weeks with an iPhone, I am nevertheless convinced that was the S3 a very good buy, and ultimately can be much improved over apps when it comes to software.
