[IntoMobile] Reuters: Samsung’s Galaxy S III already has 9 million preorders

Samsung’s Galaxy S III, which was announced just two weeks ago, has already secured 9 million preorders according to Reuters. They say that an unnamed Samsung official says the Galaxy S III is being made in South Korea at a factory that’s able to produce 5 million phones per month, and that said factory is already running at full capacity. This is obviously great news considering that the phone hasn’t even gone on sale yet. When will you be able to walk into a store and get a Galaxy S III yourself? On May 29th, just 11 days from now.

Should you buy it or should you go with the other Android flagship of 2012, the HTC One X? Yesterday we highlighted a 15 minute video produced by PhoneArena that pits the two devices against each other in a smattering of tests. Long story short, the Galaxy S III is the victor. Why? Better camera, removable battery, microSD card slot, TouchWIZ is less disgusting than Sense UI, and a whole host of other reasons.

What you have is called an opinion. Though I'd be curious to hear 100 reasons for the One X being better. wink.gif

Here's my opinion. wink.gif 

The One X's pluses are better build quality, better screen.  

Removable battery, Micro SD Slot, Better camera, cool accessories, better user experience, Touchwiz less annoying than Sense, and not to mention the Wifi issues the One X has, makes the GS3 a no brainer for me.

I actually almost bought the One X, until I came across this video. This would annoy me way too much as I browse the web a lot when I'm not at my computer.

Going from the original Galaxy to the S3 is going to be magical. The preorder address is http://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-GALAXY-GT-i9300-FACTORY-UNLOCKED/dp/B0080DJ6CM/ref=pd_cp_cps_1 if anyone was curious on the crazy price tag. I think I will be waiting for one with a new contract lol.
