True 4.8" screen when viewing the web?

[hal1]

Does the S III really have a 4.8 screen, like when browsing the web?

Or is it like the Galaxy Nexus that only uses about 4.3" when web browsing and stuff, and only has a 4.65" viewing screen when watching movies and such?

No on screen buttons = full 4.8"

True dat!

Plus, games that use virtual pads will work better since no accidental hitting of soft or capacitive buttons. I sometime hit the capacitive buttons by mistake on the Razr and the nav bar on the Gnex makes playing emulators on that near impossible (for me, at least).

Someone finally gets it, GN is not 4.7" vs. GSIII at 4.8" all the time, usually it's 4.4" vs. 4.8" That is almost 1/2 inch more!
