With Samsung letting the cat out of the bag in the form of the Samsung Galaxy S III — the successor to the Galaxy S II — we thought it would only be fair to compare it to two other recently released devices — the HTC One X and Sony Xperia S — as well as the Galaxy Nexus and the Galaxy S III’s predecessor: the Galaxy S II. We’re evening comparing it to the Apple iPhone 4S just to spark debate there as well. Let’s get into it!
