The wait for the new Apple iPhone 5<\/strong><\/a> is over, but the quest for a new, reliable and feature-laden “smart phone<\/em>” ended for me over a month ago.<\/p>\n

After seeing the remarkable reviews of the Samsung Galaxy S III<\/strong><\/a>, I took a hands-on test at a local T-Mobile store. It was probably the only time that I’ve spent 90 minutes at a store, carefully examining something, outside of buying a car.<\/p>\n

All I have to say is, that Samsung has won the game of numbers<\/strong><\/a>, despite the lawsuit it was hit with, due to the remarkable quality of its product. The phone is lightweight, ultra sharp, responsive and full of features.<\/p>\n

As an Android device, it steers away from the clasp that Apple imposes on its hardware – a deciding factor for me as for many others. Even the battery can be swapped out, if needed, something that no iPhone can boast; you’d need a visit to your local Apple store for that.<\/p>\n

The price was hard to beat, despite having to commit with T-Mobile for two years. I’ve been using them for the past decade, so why not.<\/p>\n

If you still want an iPhone, I can’t stop you. It’s a great phone. If you need a better phone<\/strong>, however, get a Galaxy S III.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
