I was almost done with the review of the Samsung Galaxy S3 when the most unfortunate incident happened. But before I ramble on, let me share with you our unboxing photos and videos of the Galaxy S3, both in Pebble Blue and Ceramic White.
We initially got the Ceramic White variant from Samsung Philippines as a loaner. The following week, the good folks of Lazada.com.ph also gave us another unit, the one in Pebble Blue.
Since then, we’ve been testing a lot of the native features that Samsung introduced to the S3 — S Voice (which surprisingly supports the Philippines with location-based queries, unlike Siri), Smart Stay, S Beam, and Direct Call — all of which worked as smoothly as we expected it to be.
So as some sort of a teaser, check out our unboxing video below:
We’ve also taken a lot of sample shots and sample video recording at 1080p, just like this one (will include more in our final review):
We promise to post the full review by this weekend. We’re just swamped with so many phones to review this quarter. :)

@Kei:
Kamusta naman ang multitasking?
Battery?
Lags?
Dun lang talaga ako worried, pero prefer ko talaga ang one x dahil nga sa design and UI nya.
chuful says:
ang ganda talaga ng s3!
ano kaya mas ok, s3 or one x?
ang gaganda ng mga smartphones ngayon!
Kei says:
I currently own HTC One X so i might have a bias towards that handset. But before I bought the device, it was really a close call between the two devices.
I think it will all boil down to your personal preference. Reviews say that S3’s performance is better all in all. But once you use both, you can hardly notice the difference, unless you will use benchmark tools. Samsung has added more features (or gimmicks) on its UI which you may like, but I chose One X because of its premium feel, design and screen.
chuful says:
hindi ba match ang performance ng one x sa s3?
Oo nga, malapit na ang release ng iphone5 at note 2. For sure bbagsak presyo ang one x at s3 pag lbas ng mga yun.
Ang concern lang ngayon sa android yung flash support mawawala na… Paano na manyayari sa android????
Marcelino says:
Looks – HTC One X
Performance – Samsung Galaxy S3
I can’t wait for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and iPhone 5. Seems like the Note is Samsung’s flagship now.
mark says:
i still love iphone :)
Angelo says:
Anyone with the SGS3 having the unit heating up in the lower right corner?
Angelo says:
But my S3 only heated up when I was watching a Hi10p (10 bits) H264 MKV anime in 720p. Judging by the processing power of a PC to play rhat kind of video I guess the heat up is normal since it did play with little to no lag unlike my S2 where the whole video would lag
donskie says:
No problem here…. i think you need to have it checked on the store where you bought it.
