Both phones are really good an both running jelly bean. I'm sure as the user said above, the sgs3 has more development being the more popular phone. But that's irrelevant if you don't plan on rooting and modding your phone.
Best bet is to play with them in hand. Both offer similar performance which hardware difference such as screen size, navigation keys vs hardware keys, etc. I can't always use my sgs3 with just one hand. Depends what I'm doing. My gf has the RAZR m and everything can be done one hand.
IMO, the sgs3 is the better device. Bigger screen, and camera. But the form factor and edge to edge screen of the RAZR m is awesome once you pick it up.

I hate the Motorola phones but I have to admit as phones you can have a clear phone call and not drop the call. The S3 even after the JB update still has issues. Not everyone has that problem but if you read the forums, certainly enough do that you might want to consider it.
P3droid has one, if it can be hacked, he's the guy to do it. He's been kinda quiet lately about it. Maybe he's done. Give him a follow on Twitter.

Motorola phones are not so great if you like to root & flash roms. I came from a Razr Maxx. I know this. And the Photon on Sprint can't even function fully if you unlock the boot loader. It's ridiculous with Motorola phone's.
If you want a smaller phone and a UI that's close to stock Android, go with the Razr M. If you want a phone that has better features, more user friendly functions, great camera, good wireless radio, and good development, go with the S3.

I wouldn't touch a Motorola phone with a ten foot pole.
i will admit, that, while i love my S3 and would NOT trade it for my wife's RazrM, i do get jelous sometimes with her better reception. IN the same exact place, she has a better chance of hooking up with a weak reception than i am. HOWEVER, i do love all the DEV support the S3 has, all the tweaks and various hacks on it. SO would still pick the S3 over the Razr M for that reason alone.
:cyclops:
I was in this exact scenario a month ago. I tried the Razr M first and didn't like it for three big reasons: 1) the camera is horrible. I don't know how they messed that one up so badly, but they did. 2) The phone was really slow on ICS. I'm not sure how much better it is on JB, but it was driving me nuts. 3) I actually didn't find the reception to be that great.
The S3 has better specs and better dev support as mentioned, but it is a bigger phone. At first that is why I went with the Razr M but I ended up being a very, very happy S3 owner. Everything from the camera to speed to especially the dev support... all awesome.
Thanks for your input, but I'll be going with the M.
The S3 feels like crap compared to the M, and the compact device fits my smaller hands perfectly.
Both devices are equally fast and speedy.
As dev support goes, I'll just have to port some good ROMs.

What radio issues? - the S3 is perfect and works better than any other phone on the market! JK Someone usually posts this sort of defensive thing when I mention the crappy radio on the Samsung phones with Verizon, I'm glad others mention it as I hope somehow that feedback will get back to Samsung and they will improve the radio as I really like their phones otherwise.
I think the Radio issue is a hit or miss on the S3. I have no issues. I get better reception in bad areas with my S3 than I did with my Razr Maxx. But I probably got lucky with a good one. I use to have the S2 on Sprint and I know exactly what people are talking about when they say the radio is bad. That phone was the worst for wireless radio.

I think our opinions in this forum are a little biased, but that's because most of us LOVE our Skyrockets.
Definitely keep it. Skyrocket has a better processor and a better camera, if you need a couple of reasons...
The only thing I like more about the Nexus is the 720 screen. But for that, you can probably wait for the S3 or the S2 LTE HD (aka Skyrocket HD).
What parts are making you regret it?
The only thing that I don't like about the Skyrocket is the HDPI screen. It wouldn't normally bother me, but coming from an Evo 3D with QHD, it just seems kind of blurry. Other than that, this phone is absolutely amazing.
Thanks for the responses. Definitely clears up. SKYROCKET definitely has better hardware. But on Monday when the note comes out I'll make my decision....depends on the size of that thing.

I hear you about the screen its my one drawback as well. outside of that, this phone has been great thus far. Sucked to here the HD is going hit canada, but not until q2 which by then, more quad core devices are going to be on their way so its not as big of a deal.
I love my skyrocket. Its been the best phone to date I have had. infuse was ok but felt cheaper to me... have a white note coming next week. and cant wait. cause to me its like a bigger skyrocket.. with a few little extras.. but will keep my skyrocket on my spare line. etc..
Funny thing is.. on the skyrocket the stock rom has been so good havent felt the need to install another etc.. unlike say the inspire or infuse or atrix. or the 10 million other androids I have had in the past. etc..
I find it funny that people on the skyrocket forums are not as anal as people in infuse.

So I though of upgrading my nexus one. The possible candidats are a htc one s or a motorola razr maxx. If you had to choose wich one would you take? I don't like that big screens, so 4.3 inches seems to be a sweat spot for me. Could you recomend me other phones?
Thx
Sent from my Nexus One using xda app-developers app
Razr Maxx has the best battery life out of all smartphones in the market so if you are looking for a phone that has great battery life, the razr maxx is the phone to get. Other good phones are the GNexus and the SGS3 which have full support of Ics and JB.
The best hardware right now is the galaxy s iii. The best software support is on the galaxy nexus.
I wouldn't get something as locked down as the Motorola unless you're okay with only ever getting one android update, and getting it super late. And I think the gsiii does everything the HTC does and then some.
My choice is (and probably always will be) the nexus because I have more control over it than any other device, but the gsiii is a good choice now as well.

Did all four of you guys seriously just ignore the fact that he wants a phone with a 4.3 inch screen? Those would be too big for him.

It starts getting difficult at 5+ and becomes a matter of taste there. Otherwise 4.8 has proven manageable with phones like sensation and galaxy s3.
Consider that the maxx is not HD and is aged technology, even at launch there were complaints on moto holding out,if you also don't mind this carry on.
Consider you can always get an extended battery for something like the s3 or optimus 4x without a great increase in bulk as they're thin.

Also came from the Droid X. Data signal on my S3 seems fine; I'm primarily in a 4g area. Could have been something specific to my phone, however, Spotify streaming was a joke on my Droid X via 3g. With the S3, I can actually listen to non downloaded tracks consistently without any pauses from the buffering.
I came from a Droid X then an LG Revolution and this phone is definitely MUCH faster than either and the battery life is excellent

I don't have an upgrade yet, but as the date draws nearer (December) I really start looking at what is coming out between now and then, and I must say I'm not feeling particularly confident about any given upgrade path.
If it's true the next Nexus will be Nexus Optimus based off the Optimus G I'd probably consider the Optimus G since having identical hardware to the galaxy S worked many wonders for the captivate.
Outside of that, the Xperia Tl looks like a pretty great device if it gets enough support to see decent long-lived dev support.
So, what upcoming phone do you think will have the best dev support? I would really like to keep getting updates long after the manufacturer officially drops support.. and Even if it's only 400$, I probably will skip the nexus since 16 gigs isn't enough without expandable memory storage..
Same. I also have an upgrade due this December and the new phones on at&t aren't interesting. I would've gone to the one x but their at&t version has ran into a wall because of a recent update that locked the boot loaders down, hard. (At&t officially does not support unlocked boot loaders for it). So, the Cappy is still moving forward

I'm cautiously optimistic about both the Xperia TL and the Optimus G.
I know that back mfr support can ruin otherwise great phones.. both in terms of upgrades and devs ability to make custom roms.. So I'll be looking anxiously at the LG Optimus. If the One x+ keeps the 64 gb of storage or even just 32gb of storage I would seriously consider it too assuming the dev support was adequate.

I am really worried the Note 2 will be far to big for my taste. The 4.7" phones already seem *huge* to have to stick in my pocket. Aside from that I'd be worried about the quad core exynos processsors which I hear make it hard to cook up custom Roms.

LG Optimus G looks very promising. I love its hardware design (on the same level with HTC one x or better, IMO), that quadcore Qualcomm s4 processor, and the screen is fantastic. I wish At&t included the 13 mp camera. But then again all cellphone cameras will never be perfect.

I want a decent camera but, honestly my absolute biggest concern is long term dev support. I wish there was an environment more "open" to dev with carriers. I understand they don't want to have to deal with people bricking their phones.. At the same time "voided warranty" scares off most people I talk to about custom roms in the first place.. So I don't think they are really gaining anything by locking down phones.. People either care about the warranty or they don't.

Well I'm guessing it's because carriers want you to buy a new phone for every upgrade date to make $$$ so they lock boot loaders (of course, that assumption could be false). For long term development support I will buy an international Samsung galaxy s_ device or a nexus.

As far as why they do it, forcing customers to buy new phones is a pretty horrible reason TBH.
There are far too many people who are angry at manufacturers for failing to update fast enough. When you remove their ability to install their own update, you're just giving them a reason to find another product.

I left my Cappy last October after the USB port died and I got tired of switching out batteries to use it for the SGS II. My SGS II just had an unfortunate accident involving water, so I pulled out my trusty Cappy which I could not part with since it was my 1st Android device. Thank god for all of the awesome development that has and continues to unfold for this device. I am on Jelly Bean 4.1.2 and its like I never left. I do not know how much longer I am going to use it (Nexus 4 looks tempting), but it continues to be an amazing phone that I will continue to go back to whenever other phones fail on me.
Kind of off topic but I really wanted to say how much of an awesome phone this is. Props to all of you who kept it for a full two years! :good:

One (of many) things that bother me when im using an iPhone is the stupid steps you have to take to change app settings.
I'm reconsidering this phone for that reason,(although im sure XDA can give me options to remedy this issue) am i the only one who thinks a dedicated multitasking button is a waste and long press home is a fine alternative to open up another shortcut option?

Getting a Nexus is your only safe bet for long term dev support and you don't have to deal with locked bootloader and losing your warranty by unlocking it (you have no choice with Sony and HTC, because you enter your IMEI to unlock it which void your warranty, unless you do some third party unlocking method). Also for the price of the Nexus 4 and being a Nexus device, I don't see why one would get the Optimus G with locked bootloader and probably poor support, if only for the 32gb storage which is not worth it compared to all the things the Nexus offer (ie, Google updates, easy to flash, best dev support and highesst quality rom, pentaband, elitist Nexus fanboys community).

Custom ROMs allow you to change all sorts of things about the navigation bar. You can have more buttons, different buttons, even shortcuts/widgets.
Also, I can say from experience that the three button setup is better than the four button setup.

And something wouldnt require so much just too root and flash roms too..

I also got my eye on the optimus G or htc one but have never owned an lg/htc phone. Id also consider getting an international version. So say if I can get the int. S4. Or int. One.

So I'm thinking about getting the AT&T HTC One X for $0.01 on a new contract. I'm thinking since its been out for awhile they've figured out how to unlock its boot loader and such so it can do what I'm wanting. And it offers good stuff all around. Should I do the one x or x+ is the only difference the memory it can hold??
