Agreed 100%.
1GB android phones are a joke and a slap on customer face. They lag due to less ram.
This S3 having 2GB ram is 'guaranteed' to be faster than any 1GB ram android phone, even if that 1GB ram android phone has an octa core processor. Sounds silly, but that's the fact, as latest apps eat a lot of ram.
With all these social and IM apps running in background, 1GB ram android phone is not enough for stock user and it lags.
I highly recommend this phone due to its 2GB ram, for a lag free experience.
