I dont know about lifespan because this is my first of its type. The only other phone I have with an amoled screen is my N8. A good screen but there is and always have been streaks throughout the screen. Clearly Nokias supplier wasnt Samsung back in 2010.
Ive not noticed either of my phones screen degrade. I did read that it took 5 -8 years for an amoled screen to diminish badly.
As for lifespan of battery life, super amoleds are fine for videos I find but viewing white web pages kills the battery. Or any other white app.
As for the S3 it is weaker than the S2. Ive seen several people I know drop their phone and their screen has cracked. Hopefully Sammy will sort that out with their next phone.

etaab yeah, very cool and vivid colors on the screen! It's a joy to watch movies.
But SAMOLED screens have worse lifespan.. Anyway, it seems that PenTile Matrix SAMOLED are better in terms of lifespan.
I mean on my Galaxy S2+ (RGB Matrix) I can see how much the screen degraded.
Even in first months I've got a "mark" on statusbar (something like burn-in effect). Most of the status bar area being black, in fullscreen apps (or landscape mode) I could see clearly the status bar section (with icon "shadows") that has better colors since rgb pixel leds didn't wear in that section, being off.
How's on S3?
I know that S1 is much better than S2 in this aspect.
One thing that made me to skip the S3: the protective frame. It's much worse on impacts. S2 is a tank in comparison to S3. I know that because I've dropped many times, including on hone where S3 display would be KO.

After almost 2years of hard use, my S2 is now showing burn-in on the top, when I go into e.g. A compleletly blank screen I can see the signal indicator, battery and a bar at the top even when the screen is blank.
The S3 doesn't have this at all from what I can see.

That would ruin it for me. Hopefully while ever I use my phone it'll never have that.
Super amoled is brilliant screen tech, but I find the harsher affect on the phones battery sometimes makes me wish Samsung would use a traditional LCD panel like LG or HTC who have brilliant screen tech.

It doesnt matter.
Nobody is usually interested in older flagships once the new one is out. I dont know about you, but in the UK ive not really seen a PLUS version of any previous flagships.

The Plus versions are mostly online. I did see once in Carphone store a cheaper version of the GS1 with a Super Clear screen instead.

But they're still old technology.
Fine if you cant afford the latest, but you'll always wish you had the latest.

I'm looking forward to seeing what we GS3/Note2 users will get in the upcoming Android4.2.2 update we're getting

All new hardware independent features on the Galaxy S4 will come to S3 and previous flagship phones

I know 4.2.1 is in the works for SIII. I wonder if they will skip straight to 4.2.2 based on the SIV Touchwiz? |

Seems they will indeed skip to Android4.2.2, the leaked 4.2.1 FW was just a test FW for 4.2, even the leaked GS4 protos had 4.2.1.
Incredible, our year old GS3 is ALREADY looking to get 4.2 even before some late 2012 and 2013 flagships from other OEMs too awesome!
