@BigTrollFace
the one good thing about S3 is removable battery. Grab an external charger + extra 2100mAH battery and swap it throughout the day if you don't have access to plug.
edit: hands down, grey.

edit: hands down, grey. | yeah, thats what I did with my nexus s. It was really convenient, but not having an extra battery to carry around would be convenient. But meh, im a student, always have a fucking bag on me anyways

I don't think so. When my phone reads 4g, speed test gets 4 - 5 mbps. When it reads lte I get 12 - 15 mbps

thanks in advance | Did you cut or re-use an old SIM or did you get a new one? Older SIMs don't support LTE, you need a new one that supports it. My cousin had that issue with Rogers recently.

True 4G IS LTE.
The problem is that carriers have been screwing up and using the "4G" term loosely over the last year to indicate something (slightly) faster than regular HSPA.
Telus had been calling their DC-HSPA network "4G".
Bell had been calling their HSPA+ network "4G" as well (my old sgs2 from bell was advertised as 4G but did not have LTE obviously)
Nothing but a marketing ploy in the past to confuse the consumer.
All SGS3 variants in Canada are true 4G LTE phones.

Officially if your network can handle a certain speed it can technically be called 4G. Pretty dumb I know.

Though to be honest, I'm thinking of going sans case.

Also this one but is rarely used; mainly for going clubbing or something when I need a bit more extra protection: Momax I Case Pro for Samsung Galaxy S III I9300 Black Edge + T. Black

I'm on Rogers, shows LTE for LTE. When I disable LTE, it shows 4G.
So at least on Rogers, they aren't the same. And the speedtests are different.
