Great Review. I don't agree with all of your biases (meant in the most non-pejorative way possible), but you made a point of pointing out your biases, which some reviewers fail to do. Liked.
Nice video your style is growing on me.When you do the full review(if you haven't already) could you let us know if there is going to be a 64 gb version and the cost for it. thanx
As a Galaxy Nexus owner (Takju) who has played with a Galaxy S III for a few minutes I can say: Wow. I love my Nexus. Hands down, the best phone I had ever used... until I got my hands on an S III. It's amazing. Quick and beautiful. One thing I did notice from this video, however: it's not really fair to judge a brand-spanking-new Galaxy S III to a Galaxy Nexus that's been used for a while on a boot-up test. You probably have many apps installed on the Nexus. They should be compared at equal.
i hv a question. guys what is benchmark?? im confusing about those benchmark ,antutu , and many others. can anyone explain pls? is it the higher benchmark will be better?
nice revew. i sold my nexus and kept my note. i hated the display and the camera on the nexus and got sick of the random reboots associated with 4.0.1 and for some reason samsung or my carrier would not release 4.0.3 so i said screw it and sold the phone. i love the galaxy note and will be picking the sgs III when it is released in Canada
I have thee Nexus. Personally i like that it has more memory off the bat. You can actually make the coloring more vibrant too. I've played with both and still prefer the Nexus
could'nt have compared them better :) i ordered a Nexus and i admit the S3 is the best phone one could get now. still stock android (hate touchwiz), timely updates, and the beauty of the screen makes the Nexus among the top end phones to date.
I currently have a galaxy nexus (since Nov.) And for a 7 month old device it still impresses me! But I'm going to buy the sgs3 when it gets released on T-Mobile US. I cant help it lol I've kinda fallen for the sgs3. But I will be keeping my nexus. I still love my nexus and I want to keep it around for future OS updates. Jellybean anyone? ;)
this is only good for verizon SGN users. add verizon to the title because you confuse people with comparing the S3 to a different phone. because its LTE, its thicker, heavier, the battery life differs and maybe more, idk, i dont have the verizon version
can you make comparison of nexus and iphone4s, the other guy that make comparison of s3 and 4s is very unfair.. doesnt show real contest on both devices.
i am trying to get my first smartphone, all my plan has is unlimited texting and free minutes on the weekend or after seven so i dont care about 4g or anything like that, im going to mainly use it for music, games, movies and pictures/video. can any one give me a recommendation on what would be good for me? (no biased answers.. hell if you wanna say iphone4s the say that) the battery life isnnt that important since i turn it off at night and i dont have 4g and something with a good screen please
It comes down to if you like Touch Wiz or stock. GS3 is gonna be a lil better because Sammy is behide it. But remember, if you chosse GS3, don't cry when it takes forever to be updated 6 months from now. Everyone should know the rules by now.
People can use a phone whatever way is best for them. Most people don't make performance considerations before using an app or putting a widget up. Most people user live wallpapers because they are pretty. If the massive guts of the GS3 can't even keep up with widgets and live wallpaper that's a pretty damn sad state of affairs.
Benchmark's test the hardware performance of the devices. CPU, GPU, Sdcard read write speeds, frame rates for 3D gaming etc...Benchmarks can be confusing because even if a device scores high it can still be laggy based on how the software is implemented by manufacturers so that's why most people don't put their faith in benchmarks. It's kind of like that point system Microsoft put into Windows Vista and Windows 7 that rates your device.
Why does the S3 have a menu button and hardware buttons if its running ICS! Google needs to put some restrictions on Android, its a total mess with phones using different CPU's, GPU's, different resolution screens etc I'd take the Nexus, its cheaper and better looking and stock Google but I'll stick with iPhone 4.
We should also consider the U.S version of the gs3 which only has dual core rather than quad core, but since the time of this video he probably didn't know that.
SGS III is the smoothest android ever, but this guy fucked up the phone like there's no tommorrow.. Look at the Live wallpaper, the messy widgets on the homescreen.. Damn!
THANKS for taking a dig on your colleague's NUMEROUS but POINTLESS comparisons. Please, other reviewers of PocketNow, review your products with the END-USER in mind. Thanks.
he's pretty biased to a lot of stuff since he's been using the nexus for many months. Should of got someone with less experience with the phones (since you obviously can't get one with more)
Then i guess thats why the Nexus is slower than the S3, on Jelly beam the Nexus is a speed MONSTER! but well, the s3 is also getting Jelly Beam soon, soo,,,,,,
Just started watching your channel. Hell of a radio voice you got there man.
great review dude keep up the gud work! 1st video and u make a smile on my face! hope to see more reviews by you! thumbs up

Wow, best unbiased reviewer ever! Great comparison! Subscribed!
You guys are amazing,best channel for reviewing smartphones/tablets hands down.
Bazinga! 1st time i have watched one of your videos but i definitely like your style its different keep it up
Love the high quality video and review comparison!
what was the name of the clock widget on the galaxy nexus?
Hey Mike, you're doing a bang up job. Keep it up!
Where did you get the wallpaper? ?
awesome review on both phones. great work, keep it up!
@pocketnowvideo is ur galaxy s3 regular 4g with at&t?
What's with the U.S. version of the GS3 not having the different screen mode options?.. Kinda sucks.

Great video! Also nice DVD collection!
In this video during pop-up play, the SGS III was bit laggy. Plz watch from 5.15 to 5.23.
Great comparison video!!
very nice review comparison. lots of interesting points to note.
so you did a comparesing between nexus and s3 but you couldn't make one between nexus and the s2 ? I still want to see a video about those two
The GS3 speaker sucks like the Nexus?
I like the feeling of the SGSIII, from what I've felt holding the models on the shop floor in Carphone Warehouse it feels quite nice imo.
I know it's been said before but you are an awesome reviewer!
You're too good for UA-cam. You should be on TV!
Holy shit your good at reviewing, keep up the great work, and im subscribing just because of your reviews... =)
I always enjoy this dudes reviews. He's very good at reviewing different aspects of a persons interest in a phone not just his own.
Great review!!!!
You are so cool, you are so objective to review. Best reviewer no doubt of that.
could u do galaxy note vs sgs iii?
nice revew. i sold my nexus and kept my note. i hated the display and the camera on the nexus and got sick of the random reboots associated with 4.0.1 and for some reason samsung or my carrier would not release 4.0.3 so i said screw it and sold the phone. i love the galaxy note and will be picking the sgs III when it is released in Canada
great comparison!
s3 or galaxy nexus?
Are you trying to do a Phil Hartman impression?

Are you in an anechoic chamber ;-)? Great review.

great review
5- star review! Keep it up.
honestly this is the best phone comparison I've ever seen
Great comparison

But gn is a regular drive . Reason the gn took time to boot up

really nice review. Have bothe devices - agree on every point.
Stock ics is better than touchwiz, it is smoother with fewer bugs. And the front of the nexus looks really nice...

this guy is my favorite pocketnow he has the best voice and everything
You have to take in consideration the he uses the nexus daily so the phone gets slower to booth up as oppose to the s3 that he barely got
the color on the galaxy s3 screen kills the nexus colors..
I think they are both pretty close in performance the Nexus did very well comparing it to a quad core phone
Why does the S3 have a menu button and hardware buttons if its running ICS! Google needs to put some restrictions on Android, its a total mess with phones using different CPU's, GPU's, different resolution screens etc
I'd take the Nexus, its cheaper and better looking and stock Google but I'll stick with iPhone 4.
you are the best reviewer ever
We should also consider the U.S version of the gs3 which only has dual core rather than quad core, but since the time of this video he probably didn't know that.
This is The Best Review Hands Down
good review on both phones
Goood Review almost as good as Aaron and Noah and Jon
Great job. :o)
is it me or did the galaxy s3 look laggy in that video
So what? The Galaxy S phones always had the biggest XDA community and CM9 beta is already there... Personally I use Paranoid Android on my Note.
Oh, and benchmarks are irrelevant. The IPhone has one of the slowest processors yet has the smoothest performance. Likewise with the GNex.
i turned my stock gsm nexus on at the same time and it loaded 13 seconds quicker than LTE one in the video
Galaxy Nexus still give me the chills when I look at it, that is one sexy beast!
Already ordered the S3 :P
yes, the best reviewer by far
I live Samsung phones. I just wish they were less plasticy. Good review BTW.
Just realized this vid came out :D Bout time...
is the nexus youre holding is jelly bean?
for $399 for the Galaxy Nexus. Im sold.
Ive got nexus and i want s3 !
That bootup time comparison was hilarious
SGS III is the smoothest android ever, but this guy fucked up the phone like there's no tommorrow.. Look at the Live wallpaper, the messy widgets on the homescreen.. Damn!
Do you watch the Big Bang Theory ??
he sounds like a movie star..one word.unique
I think the nexus is better looking, has more style, curved display, no physical button ...
video colors seem nicer on the nexus but the display colors seem nicer on the sgs3
THANKS for taking a dig on your colleague's NUMEROUS but POINTLESS comparisons. Please, other reviewers of PocketNow, review your products with the END-USER in mind. Thanks.
Galaxy S3 is The Legend, The most beautiful phone in the world!
The nexus is running 4.2.2 sg3 is running 4.1.1
well gaming? uhhh SGS3 or an iPhone 4s or an HTC one X :) movies? GALAXY NOTE. music all smart phone play music :)
if price isnt a issue for you than go for galaxy s3
Your voice is like silk. Rare, for an American to talk without making your ears bleed.
he's pretty biased to a lot of stuff since he's been using the nexus for many months. Should of got someone with less experience with the phones (since you obviously can't get one with more)
ooh really..i mean his diction and fluency is top notch..
I would still buy the Nexus over any phone until the next Nexus comes out.
S3 is the tightest rig out there now.
Agree 100%
can't wait for CM10 for nexus
EPIC!!!
soooo basically the Galaxy Nexus still performs just as well as phones out today? the screen and battery just suck? ok lol
Then i guess thats why the Nexus is slower than the S3, on Jelly beam the Nexus is a speed MONSTER! but well, the s3 is also getting Jelly Beam soon, soo,,,,,,
He is a voice over artist. Google him. U will come to know.
I miss Brandon and Noah. The original reviewers!
Nexus has the best display ive ever seen on a phone
its not, it is ics
are u left handed
awesome
