The GS III is an all-rounder of a smartphone, but stronger competition on the Android scene will stop it reaching the heights of its predecessor.

We're staying true to the conclusion we reached in our original review: we prefer HTC's Sense UI over Samsung's Gingerbread-like TouchWiz and we have a sweet spot for the One X's inventive design, as well.

When looking at T-Mobile's current lineup, there's no doubt in our minds that the Samsung Galaxy S III is our number one choice, so long as price isn't a factor. The HTC One S is still a great performer and will be ideal for anyone wary of TouchWiz, the price tag or the larger frame...

Samsung has another winner on its hands here, a worthy successor to the Galaxy S II we loved so much last year. We'd go so far as to say it puts the Galaxy Nexus to shame in near every measure—screen quality, camera quality, battery life, design, and speed.

Based on my tests, I consider the Galaxy S III a very good phone, and a strong competitor for the iPhone and for other leading Android models.

If you are on Verizon or T-Mobile ... it will be without a doubt the best phone on those two carriers ... If you're on AT&T or Sprint ... If you want the best screen and a lighter touch on the software, go HTC. If you want the best camera and more bells and whistles, go Samsung.

It's the best Android smartphone at launch for my money, and probably the best overall smartphone until the next iPhone come around. Even then, it will be hard for Apple to top what Samsung has in the Galaxy S III.

The US versions of the Samsung Galaxy S III are still spectacular on so many levels – even despite their choice of using a dual-core Snapdragon S4 chip as opposed to quad-core.
