Samsung Galaxy S III (Sprint)

If you love big phones with lots of options, the Samsung Galaxy S III will deliver state-of-the-art performance with bonus sharing and media features that you're likely to continue discovering a year from now.

All of Samsung's new Galaxy S III models look the same, except for the carrier logo on the back panel.

The front of the Galaxy S III is dominated by the 4.8-inch, 1280-by-720-pixel Super AMOLED HD screen. Yes, it's PenTile, which can sometimes look slightly pixelated. But, no, you probably won't notice.

As far as data is concerned, the Sprint GS3 is crippled. All new Sprint phones are. Although the phones support speedy LTE, Sprint has steadfastly refused to give us a rollout timetable for its new LTE network, leaving its high-end smartphones on the slowest 3G network in America.

The Galaxy S III's Qualcomm S4 chip running at 1.5GHz is the fastest one we've seen in smartphones so far, and it's able to take on any app challenge you throw at it, including games on the HD screen.
