Very responsive. Touchwiz can be a little frustrating but it doesn't slow down the phone much. The battery life can be a little better but it's pretty good. The screen is nice, better than the Galaxy Nexus screen. GPU performance can be better.
Coming from the original Samsung Vibrant, I was very skeptical about purchasing another Samsung product (as far as phones go). I did a lot of homework before purchasing this phone. Now that I have it, I am completely satisfied with it. The s3 (US version) isn't just very very fast for being the dual core instead of the quad core, it is extremely fluid. You can never be overwhelmed with the amount of features that this phone has. For those that think that android is too confusing, I think that it is perfectly fine to have all these features. They don't impose on your what you are don't but if you ever feel the desire to dive deeper into the s3, you HAVE that opportunity. Besides most features make the use of this phone more efficient. The screen is another plus. The colors are very vibrant and dynamic. Sure it has a pentile display but there is practically no difference. The camera on the s3 is one of the best camera phones I have ever used. The pictures are very crisp and responsive. Again, the features in the camera department are just ridiculous (in a good way). I believe the features alone, set the s3 miles apart from its competition, not just in the camera department but in the phone as a whole. The design is simple but SEXY! It feels really good in the hands and I can perform any task comfortably. Yes Samsung used plastic on this device, just like every other carrier but who are you kidding when you say that it is "plasticy"? If you have a nice phone you are most likely going to put a case on it. Overall, I am glad I got my hands on this device and I'm sure I wont be dreading my decision like I did my Vibrant two years down the road.
(sorry for typos)
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, very fast, very fluid, features, ergonomics, camera, screen/display, screen size

I got this phone as a upgrade from my T-mobile Mytouch 3g slide and it is night and day difference. Everything is so simple to use and the display is amazing! I have yet to find any flaws with it. I also purchased a case and screen protector for it from T-mobile and i can barely feel it in my pocket. I am blown away with how awesome this phone is. The speakers are also very loud but not distorted great quality audio to go with amazing video.
This phone is BEAST!! The bright crisp display is great! It is easy to operate and very lightweight! If you want a good quality phone, then wait no longer!! BTW....what are you waiting for?!?
Had this phone almost a week and I love it. amazing quality absolutely no problems. My only complaint, no swype? the T9 is atrociously bad, luckily I was able to install swype and now I can actually text again.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: no swype
I would recommend this to a friend!

So Far This Phone IS Great no Hick Ups its slick and lightwieght hardly feel it in my pocket and has a pretty good battery life which is something i look in cell phones the screen is big and bright good picture resoultion and quality crisp color
Unfortunately i couldn't give this product all five stars because of the overpricing on T-Mobile but other than that it does everything well way better than the One X i had before SAMSUNGUY For Life :D
