Review: Samsung Galaxy S III

Samsung's place at the smartphone industy's top table is well earned. Its last two flagship handsets have been exemplary, and it has slowly but surely built up a fanbase only Apple can claim to rival.

The Samsung Galaxy S III, as the firm's biggest launch yet, has a lot to live up to, and this is one of those rare devices that actually lives up to the hype.

The Galaxy S III ups the ante in a number of significant areas, none more so than its display. It's 4.8in in size, up half an inch from the 4.3in of the Samsung Galaxy S II, it matches our current A-List champion (the HTC One X) pixel for pixel with an HD resolution of 720 x 1,280, and our first impressions are that it's breathtakingly gorgeous.

The Asus transformer would attract me more as it has a keyboard but TBH I want to be able to install software so would prefer a notebook.
