For what it's worth, I went into a VZW Store today to check out the GS3 and see what else was new (I havn't really looked at any new phones in months).
I had read the the GS3's screen was not very bright (or white for that matter). Don't get me wrong the detail of the screen is awsome, but the colors don't really pop. They just seem muted. As far as brightness, I powered on my Bionic and opened gmail on both devices. Not even close. The Bionic has got to be twice as bright as the GS3 meaning that the white background on the Gmail app is... white. The GS3 actially looks grayish blue. I checked the brightness settings and the GS3 was on max brightness and with Automatic Brightness unchecked. The colors are much more vivid on the Bionic as well without the over-saturated look some AMOLED screens had. I also compared the Razr and although the Razr was brighter that the GS3, it was noticeably dimmer than the Bionic. I run my screen at max all the time and with the extended battery I get between 15 and 20 hours with no attempt at power saving.
I dunno, but since I'm already running the .232 ICS leak - meaning my Bionic and all the other phones I looked at were all at Android 4.0.4, I'm just not bitten by the bug to get a new phone. With even the leaked version of ICS, the Bionic is a whole new animal. Can't wait to see what the actual OTA final release brings:happy3:
