[Q] Microphone quality of S3?

[Mighty_X]

Hey guys!
I still have not ordered the s3 because of the lack of availability of the blue model.
And i have a (for me) important questions to people owning the device:
How is the sound quality of the microphone at high volumes?
Videos from S2 at concerts, festivals or bigger (louder) parties are simply unwatchable because of the really poor sound quality. Other phones do that way way better. So could someone test it for me??

Greetings

Apparently it's dreadful, worse than the SGS2. There are at least two relevant threads I've seen if you want more info.

Can't say it worries me, tbh, but each to their own..

Hmm
I have not found any thread for that. I guess it wont be possible to do much about it with software...?

funny to hear that... first thing my girlfriend told me after i called her the first time with the S3 was that the sound-quality is much worse than on the htc.

but honestly... not my problem, especially since the speakers are much louder and clearer on the S3

Does the S3 record in stereo like the One X or is it just mono? because I know it should be capable by using the noise cancelling Mic.

Good question- this could be the reason for a bad quality..

Yes the S3 does record video in stereo and from all the YouTube videos I have seen, they still have reversed mics just like the S2 has.
