Look at the pics. This was not a very good test. The device was hooked up to WIFI in to of the tests. I have the GS3 on sprint and get super good speeds on LTE.

The battery life appears dismal. This is why i returned GNex. Samsung’s 2100 ma battery is simply not enough for a moderate user. There will be no fix or modification and you will spend hours on blogs trying to find a magic bullet. You will simply end up turning data, wifi, screen brightness, gps, and mabe even the phone off to get through the day. If motorola is smart its Verizon Razr HD will come out with a 3300 ma battery like the Maxx and they wont fiddle with the 1750 ma battery of the Atrix HD. SmartActions did not help the Razr and wont help an HD model with a bigger screen.

I get about 18mbs and 8mbs upload at my desk at work in Midtown East in New York City. I have ATT Its really great I had to upgrade my plan though the 2gb was not enough.

Even if the site worked with Sprint (not sure what went down there), this is a 4G test. It would be difficult to test the 4G capabilities of Sprint’s S3 when there isn’t a Sprint LTE network to speak of that’s available to test it on. And there’s no WiMAXX on Sprint’s S3, so all that can be tested on Sprint’s model right now for many is 3G.

What’s the story behind that?

We stopped working with Sprint over 2-years ago.

What about Sprint? Seriously do you guys not understand they’re the 3rd largest carrier in the nation?

EVERYTHING IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS ATT and T-MO VERSION.

Nothing HASN’T changed. It’s the same as the day Samsung introduced the GSIII.

Agreed.

Just look at the type: WiFi will have WiFi logo while cell will have tower logo.

Have the S3 with AT&T in San Jose CA. I’m getting up to 22mbps download and 10mbps upload on 4g LTE here. Much different than their Arizona location tests showed. It’s blazing fast.

Well, since the screenshots were taken after the tests were complete, we don’t know if WiFi was on during the tests or if it was turned on after the tests. But clearly, according to each of the speed tests, with the exception of one AT&T test, mobile data was being used and not WiFi. Typically, if WiFi is on and connected, it will override the mobile data connection every time. If it’s on and not connected, it won’t impact the cellular connection. So, either way, I don’t think it’s anything to worry about.

Obviously there was an issue with the AT&T device. Did you verify that you were actually connected to LTE?

What I’m most surprised about is that there isn’t a single photo showing the home screen, yet only the app drawer again. Seems to be everywhere.

The latency sure is high with those tests. Sprint LTE tests are starting to show up with <60ms latency and 10-30Mbps, and Sprint is unlimited.

There is no smartphone app that needs more than 4Mbps, latency is what matters after a few Mbps.

It appears that the wifi was left on for the att and tmobile tests and off for the Verizon tests. Please elaborate

Color maybe unique to Verizon. My wife’s RAZR Maxx was recently upgraded to ICS and it included Facebook Color.

Although Verizon is much more widespread here in Houston, AT&T has the fastest LTE network here.
Looks like either choice will be a good one.
