Maybe you need to re-re-read that link you posted for S-Voice and Siri comparison? Its an article of Typed Google Search compared to search via voice Siri search. (S-voice is not mentioned in the article). Something like comparing apples to oranges pun intended.
Most Search engines will give you different results for the same search (unless they are powered by the same search engine internally) because they use different algorithms. Did you post the wrong link by mistake?
Maybe you should ask your friends at Piper Jaffray to do an article comparing typed Google Search and S-Voice. This would make more sense.
Seems like Apple is the tall-poppy everyone is comparing everything else to even if it does not make sense. I guess it generates traffic.

I re-re-re-read your camera section…I now understand the point you were making. It is indeed logical.

Also, I noted another inconsistency:
“As mentioned above, the device displays photos with too much saturation.”

…and then…

“Photos look washed out and no where near as having as much colour than on the Galaxy S3 screen.”

If you crunch the logic here, you’re creating an un-winnable task for the phone: the colors are too saturated for your liking, but you want them to be more saturated in order to match the screen. That’s how it reads, anyway.

I’m rather confused by the camera debate between this phone and the 4S. No one seems to agree on which is better, and I’m thinking people are applying totally different standards. My personal opinion is that the S3 takes prettier photos…that’s my only personal standard.

I don’t own either of these phones (yet). I own a wheezing Palm Pre, so I don’t have a horse in this race. But I personally don’t see the big deal with the 4S camera.

Your opinion regarding S-Voice vs. Siri doesn’t jive with the somewhat scientific approach taken by the firm Piper Jaffray:

Found SGIII rather cheap looking + too slab like but each to own (like goldilocks find 4in just right … SG3 is full featured but 12 hrs out of battery sucks (ip4S must be bad)…if turn off BT (E7 runs all day get 3 days out of or easy day 1/2 if no GPS). if think iP4s camera is amazing try this http://www.flickr.com/photos/62720308@N02/7484449860/in/photostream/ Pureview 808… also people are getting two or three days out of with 1400 mhz. No doubt SG3 is a tech de force but until they get decent battery life will stay with current phone, dont need bragging rights
