1. Technical data / scope of delivery / commissioning:
The S3 NEO has internal 1.5 GB RAM (1.0 GB instead of the S3), plus the latest version of Android 4.4.2 Kitkat, which is not offered for the previous S3. And finally 16 GB of internal memory finally enough for someone who has a lot of apps running.
Otherwise, it is virtually identical, particularly with regard to the housing and the battery. Thus is one of the huge aftermarket with felt 5830000 accessories of the previous S3 available. The phone comes with a USB power adapter (USB cable for losing weight, so that the USB charger is also available for another), and a headset with micro and different in-ear sizes. This headset can be good to take in the car to make phone calls.
Commissioning the phone went in a few minutes without a hitch, and the phone was ready for use.
2. Speed / daily use / Camera
That the S3 (Neo) has a quad-core processor, is well known. No matter what I'm doing on the mobile phone, which app I call etc, everything is fast and easy. Here there is absolutely nothing to complain about. Even with smaller games that makes my wife, there were no dropouts.
The hammer is the camera. I am owner of a Canon SLR, which is of course no comparison. But I value relatively low Auslöungsverzögerung - and because the mobile phone is really fast. The image quality is not so bad, definitely better than any other phone that I had previously.
3. Battery life / Display / Touch
Once loaded, hold the phone a good two days out (WLAN, by the way, has a good reception, this normally-bright display, a few phone calls and some Whatsapp), that's OK.
The display is very bright and sharp, even in outdoor conditions. 4.8 inches are a (for me) a good compromise between fairly large, but not too big. Real good for me as a man with larger fingers that typing is really good and it is hard to prescribe when entering.
4. CONCLUSION
A quick phone, quite a large display, good camera and lots of accessories from the "old" S3 - what you want for this more favorable price? I for one am more than satisfied and can this "new" S3 NEO recommend without hesitation, therefore 5 star super good.
Note: I bought the phone in white, but I take the liberty to express my vote for the black model because the "inner life" is indeed identical.
