The Samsung Galaxy S III 4G takes all that we loved from the original Galaxy S III and adds 4G network capability. It certainly achieves impressive, super fast data speeds on the Telstra and Optus 4G networks and the latest software is as fast and smooth as ever. Unfortunately, all that extra speed comes at a cost of precious battery life.
