 The reception of the S III has been particularly positive . Critics noted the phone 's blend of features , such as its S Voice application , display , processing speed , and dimensions as having an edge over its competition , the Apple iPhone 4S and HTC One X. Vlad Savov of The Verge declared it a " technological triumph " , while Natasha Lomas of CNET UK lauded the phone 's " impossibly slim and light casing and a quad @-@ core engine " , calling it the " Ferrari of Android phones " , a sentiment affirmed ( " a prince among Android phones " ) by Dave Oliver of Wired UK and ( " king of Android " ) Esat Dedezade of Stuff magazine . Gareth Beavis of TechRadar noted that the S III is " all about faster , smarter and being more minimal than ever before while keeping the spec list at the bleeding edge of technology . " Matt Warman of The Daily Telegraph said , " On spending just a short time with the S3 , I 'm confident in saying that it 's a worthy successor to the globally popular S2 " .
