I have had 3 Samsung Galaxy phones since my Motorola. I have sold modded Motorola to a very lucky gentleman who was looking into introducing his girlfriend into the Android world. I wished them luck and moved on.
Not that Motorola was bad. It was the #@!# customer service which made me curse it. Every single time I had to deal with them I was reminded that they live in America I in Europe and they do not really care what happens to their products this side of Atlantic Ocean. Sucks for them for I am not going to buy another product from them ever.
Anyway. First phone I tried was a Samsung Galaxy S II. And it was amazing. More about it on this Wiki page. I fell in love. It was perfect. Quick, with crisp 4.3 in AMOLED (480×800) display and Android 2.3 on board. When it got upgraded to Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" I wouldn't even think about changing it, but as things were my younger sibling needed a new phone and I got a very good offer on Samsung Galaxy S III, which of course is even better than its predecessor! After a short while I found that I love everything in it but the 4.8 inches display. It just seems a bit too big for me. Personal opinion again. Still, the phone doesn't nicely fit in my bag mobile compartment and because it is so sleek and slim without a silicon or leather case it just is tricky to handle.
Don't get me wrong it is a brilliant phone. OMG display that does 1280×720 almost the same as my LX1 does and much clearer. Not to mention that quad-core processor is much more powerful than my little laptop. I do enjoy using it. I can see though that for people like me Samsung is shooting in their foot a bit, releasing one brilliant phone after another. I still think that SII is good enough. SIII is brilliant and they've released S4 not so long ago. I understand the market needs and so on, but...
I'm not buying it. Al least not yet. I certainly don't feel the need. Apart from the lack of 4G on my mobile (and I live in an area which doesn't have coverage anyway) I don't feel like I need an upgrade. Plus if I feel that 4.8 is too big for me what can I say about S4's 5 inches? Massive! Not handy at all. I have a tablet already I don't need my phone to quickly approach the same size!
You may disagree, but at this point I've decided to get a Samsung Galaxy S III mini from my mobile provider instead. It only has a dual core processor but with a 4 inch display fits nicely in my clutch bag so that I can look classy without bulky bag on those nights out and still have access to all my nifty applications I normally use.
With two of those I have all my basic mobile and mobility needs covered :P
