the iphone 5 looks better. the S3's shape looks horrible and doesn't make any sense other than to avoid a patent lawsuit from apple.

get a galaxy nexus.

Not only that, S3's materials are absurdly cheap. I know it is supposed to destroy the rest spec-wise (though there are 2 versions and just one is awesome), but they cheap out too much.

HTC is miles better in both regards.

As for the iphone5, not interested.

forgot about the one x/s. those look decent.

The problem with the S3 is the feel. It's not that the materials are bad because they are supposedly super resistant, it's that they feel like cheap plastic.

have u used one? it felt fine to me. i think u just dont like the look of the plastic.

Tried it 3 times, because I wanted to buy one. I know I'm (very) picky about materials, but more than looks I need everything to feel and sound decent.

its subjective i guess. ive had an s1 for 2 years, it looks good, feels pretty plasticky but that was fine for me. and it has withstood some pretty heavy abuse.

i recently had a chance to compare an s3 and a one x and both felt equally plasticky to me.

ps: also wtf is with the phones being dual core in the usa. fucking alskdjflaskjdflaskjflkasjflkasdjf.
