The Galaxy S III is... well... it's ugly. There's really no other way to put it. But why? Why is it ugly? I don't mean aesthetically, why is it ugly, I mean, "How did something like this ever make it out of Samsung's design studio?" I'll tell you how, it was never in the design studio. This phone design was born down the hall, in a room where the door sign reads "Samsung Legal."

It was designed by lawyers.

Looks cool, I'd own it. If lawyers made it then specs are not going to be good.

Lol figures I think it looks ugly a fat SGN. I also thought the SGN looked ugly but then again I love the look of the HTC Evo 4G LTE.

A phone designed by lawyers is an "ugly" idea, however i think the phone looks fantastic. I still love my Motorola Atrix though

I really couldn't care less how it looks.

I just wish more phones came with a bezel that protects the screen.

It's still pretty uninspiring. But those quotes from the Apple patent are ridiculous. How in the world did they justify that?

It didn't before. The Apple patent made a phone that merely looked like...well, a smartphone look like a smartphone from 2008. They didn't change much at all. It also looks much more like a Galaxy Ace or some other budget smartphone than a flagship.
