"Best Phone on the Market in the U.S"

This phone is a beast. It has everything you'd expect from a flagship phone in 2012.This thing flies through, everything, no hints of lag anywhere and I can't wait until Jelly Bean is finally released for it.

Performance: 9.5/10 There is no noticeable lag o this phone. The only time it does lag on me is when I use the Sony Xperia Live Wallpaper, but it only happens if I don't use the Sony Xperia Launcher.

Battery Life 9/10: It could be better, but it lasts the whole day through normal moderate usage such as making phone calls, texting, browsing, 3D games(Dead Trigger), YouTube, and downloading apps. Note that I am on T-Mobile's HSPA+ 42Mbs network, so I don't have LTE sucking my battery dry like the ATT&T and Verizon models due, I still get around 11Mbps in my area, so it's still fast.

Camera/Video 10/10: Excellent, better than the Note and S II. It has fine tuned and added new features such as Burst Shot and HDR. Pictures come out crisp and vivid. Camera is also very good, quality is top notch.

Screen 10/10: Now this is a personal preference, I love SAMOLED HD screens, they give very saturated colors and deep blacks. I see Samsung has made improvements on the whites as there is not such an obvious blue hue as there were on previous Samsung phones. I would have liked to see a + in there, but I know that my screen will last longer without it since the blues won't die out as quickly.

Reception 8/10 and Call Quality 10/10: The reception I get from T-Mobile is spotty, it fluctuates between 2-4 a lot while on my Note (N-7000) it stays at 3-4 bars, mostly 4, I'm not sure why. Call quality on this phone is the best I have ever used on any smartphone, voices sound clear, robust, and natural, there is no other phone that can compare to it and I have tried a lot of smartphones.

Design 9/10: It's simple, light, and elegant. It is really thin compared to my Note and S II i-9100, and it feels light in your hands. The back does get scratches from what I've seen, so I just went to Ghost Armor and ordered the back and sides to be covered. The Hyper-Glaze gives it a nice finish.

Apps & Media Support 10/10: Samsung provides you with a plethora of their apps and some are more useful than others. I know it's a love or hate thing, but I'm going to base this off of a first time Android user(I'm not) since it will be more pleasing to average user to fins everything there. I hate the T-Mobile crapware though.
