SGSIII Reviews

I have been reading a lot of reviews of the SGSIII, most note that even though it is 4.8" that it doesn't feel bigger then the SGSII. Not too sure about that, there are some significant differences in footprint between the two.

Well according to the spec sheets for the two devices:
SGSII: 66.1 × 125.3 × 8.49 mm
SGSIII: 70.6 × 136.6 × 8.55 mm
So the SGSIII is 6.8% wider, 9% longer and 0.7% thicker.

But in saying this the HTC One X, probably the closest phone on the market in spec to the SGSIII is: 69.9 × 134.4 × 8.9 mm, the foot print is in between but slightly thicker, for a given value of "thicker".

Another review said to stop thinking of these new phones as phones, start thinking of them as portable computers that have a phone app. I don't think I'm there yet, maybe after I get my hands on a One X or SGSIII, being roughly the same size, I'll change my mind. Probably not though.
