A couple of days ago, i went to one of the mobile shops in Melaka, I've seen a recon S3 which sells at RM750 and it really caught my attention. When i saw its price, i knew that it was a fake S3, not an original. However, i tried to have a look at this phone and tested its functions, to my surprise, the fake S3 looks great and 80% looks like the original s3!! I tested its front & back camera, sound and internet surfing, all work great and it's really an awesome"fake" s3 ! Well, the fake s3 everything is fine except its internal memory. It's just 512mb only. Too low. According to the salesman, it's a Taiwan version S3!
Recently, LG + Google have released a new smartphone called "Nexus 4" . With cutting edge hardware, the latest
version of Android, and the latest Google apps. Nexus 4 puts the best of Google
in the palm of your hand.

How does the Nexus 4 compare to the Samsung Galaxy S III? |
Both phones sport slick designs. The Galaxy S III has a slightly larger surface area, but is also thinner. The Nexus 4 has a glass front and back, sandwiched together with a plastic band.
Weight
The thicker Nexus 4 also tips the scales a bit more than the S3. Though there are lighter phones on the market, neither device has a lot of heft.
Display
Both displays should look great. The Nexus 4 has slightly higher resolution, and – with its smaller screen – a bit higher pixel density as well. Some customers are turned off by the Super AMOLED PenTile screen in the Galaxy S III, but most agree that it's one of the leading smartphone displays on the market.
Processor
It's hard to say which phone has the edge here, particularly with the different Galaxy S III models sold in North America and everywhere else. Perhaps the simplest answer is that you'll be hard-pressed to find many apps that tax either phone.
Ram
The US version of the Galaxy S III matches the Nexus 4 with 2GB of RAM, while its international counterpart has 1GB.
Storage
This is a potential drawback for Nexus 4 customers. To keep its off-contract price down, Google and LG limited the base model to 8GB of internal storage. The Galaxy S3, meanwhile, starts at 16GB, and can be expanded further with a microSD card.
Wireless
This is the other big tradeoff for the Nexus 4: it lacks LTE. The "3G" label above is a bit deceiving; the Nexus 4 utilizes HSPA+, which can reach theoretical speeds of 42Mbps. This is often marketed as "4G," and - if you live in the right area - you can potentially get LTE-like download speeds.
Battery
Both phones have equal wattage, but remember that other factors affect actual battery life. We'll have to wait until the Nexus 4 releases on November 13 for actual uptimes.
On paper, the cameras look similar. The Galaxy S3's front camera has a slightly higher megapixel rating.
