by Bams Sadewo on August 11, 2012 10:05 am

If you think hammer and drop test videos are so passé, you definitely want to check out the following video. Because really, who hasn't thought about tying two expensive brand new smartphones — the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the Apple iPhone 4S — to the back of a moving vehicle? These guys did what some only dare to imagine.

So grab your popcorn now and hit play to see which phone survives being dragged face-down by a drag race car and which will crack to pieces. It’s going to be a short, scratchy and bumpy ride.

GS3 is a year old and have latest android 4.2.2

HTC One was out this year, and still with 4.1.2

know the difference between HTC and Samsung ? ;)
- venorme
  
  This is leaked firmware. S3 is still on 4.1.2 officially.
  This only means that Samsung has less internal security
  - Aziz Farhi
    
    Samsung does this on purpose . Its a way to make people test the ROM for bugs so that they can work on fixes and improvements.
- amine ELouakil
  
  Not to mention that the 4.2.2 got leaked for the Butterfly a month ago, and the Note 2 still not seeing any glimps of 4.2.2 and the cheery on the pie is that the S4 lags in simple tasks such as UI transitions I’m sorry but what the use of 4.2.2 if your device lag.
  - John Mortimer
    
    The lag was fixed in the UK within 4 Days
    - amine ELouakil
      
      The Lag was not fixed, there is a minor update that just started to roll out in several markets, but it doesn’t solve all of the lag issues (like I mentioned before I don’t doubt that Samsung will remove the lag but that doesn’t change the fact that it is there and the product was launched with it) let’s see if the One will have similar issues which I doubt but not impossible
  - steve gerrard
    
    But you forget the Butterfly WON’T be seeing Key Lime pie, a device that is 7 months younger than the S3, for which the latter will be getting KLP or 4.3 or whatever Google shows as with the Note 2. So your logic and blatant inferior HTC Fanboy mentality kinda burns up yet again.
    - amine ELouakil
      
      lol? can you at least provide a proof of what you are claiming? The butterfly won’t be getting 4.3 ? the S3 and Note will? Definitly you are the blatant inferior Samsung fanboy here you are even making up stuff, where are everything I mentioned in my previous comment is true and I can easly provide proofs if you want.

  Also you know it depends on the Carrier as I, along with probably a million or so others that have AT&T are still on 4.1.1 for the S3. It doesn’t exactly bother me, but some people probably are antsy. I guess the key is to research the history of which carriers are the best at updates. Then pick that carrier, OS updates have nothing to do with the manufacturer.

  Well said mate , I am a Sammy lover & I believe that firmware updates & OEM support comes way ahead than the build quality …
  
  Expandable memory , removable back … Samsung listens to what its consumer needs … nuff said :)

How about Note 2?
- http://www.facebook.com/RonMagnum Ron Anselmo III
  
  No! you would brick the phone Note 2 Roms only with your specific carrier!
  - http://www.facebook.com/dander.mcsullivan D’Ander McSullivan
    
    I know. I just wonder when Sammy will be rolling out the update for the Note 2.

      @soon
      “soon” is a trademark for Samsung
      - http://www.facebook.com/dander.mcsullivan D’Ander McSullivan
        
        Well, you have a point there. Sticking to Omega ROM in the meanwhile.

    It’s not really about carrier, but to specific model, this leak is only for the Galaxy S3 model number GT-i9300 regardles if you are on at&t US, vodafone germany or telcel mexico.
Jorge Fernandes

Can i install it on AT&t S3 i747?
- http://www.facebook.com/RonMagnum Ron Anselmo III
  
  If its leaked for your device yes! But not if its for another carrier you will brick it!
- Aziz Farhi
  
  Don’t.
MasterMuffin

No! Anything else but the new settings UI!
- Josh York
  
  Amen, Brother!
  - steve gerrard
    
    An update is an update and most features are taken from Google, not the S4.

My S3 already running on 4.2.2, after all it is a cooked ROM, most of stuff works, but you will loose few samsung proprietary apps, like the awesome dadelion live wallpaper, and few live wall paper effects etc., but yes, if you are not a UI fan and just love to be called ON 4.2.2 there are ROMs available. CWM10 – does the best so far I have seen.

“Notably absent are the many software features that Samsung introduced for the camera of the Galaxy S4. Features like Eraser mode or Sound and Shot aren’t hardware dependent, and should work in theory on the Galaxy S3, the Note 2, and other Samsung devices.”
The “Apple way” I guess…
- steve gerrard
  
  Apple way? What about no Zoe for the HTC One x or butterfly, could be say apple way for that POS HTC and Sony. Typical underdog mentality, really hope HTC die quickly.
