Android as it's meant to be
I bought this as an upgrade to an original model Galaxy S1 that was around 2 years old, and the contrast is pretty stark. The first model Galaxy S was a nice phone, and very usable, but the S3 is so much faster and smoother in every way that it's incredible. On the S1, e.g. starting up the Facebook app was a process that (i) crashed first time, every time and (ii) took around 15-20 seconds thereafter. On the S3, it just starts. Web-browsing is also completely different on the S3, with everything from loading through zooming and scrolling incredibly fast and smooth. There are also various fringe benefits to the new hardware and software. Updates and upgrades are delivered over-the-air without having to involve Samsung's horrible Kies software; the S3 can tell if you're still looking at the screen via the front camera and will keep the screen alive until you either put it down or manually switch off, and so on. I also briefly played around with the S-Voice definitely-not-a-Samsung-Siri-clone and was confused. Despite a broad Glaswegian accent, S-Voice transcribed my instructions perfectly - "Go to such-and-such a website", and then executed the command as "Going to Go" - which, obviously, didn't work; odd that after doing all the difficult stuff, it fell over on the easy part. In contrast, Google's own voice-search utility, available on all Android phones, worked instantly. Weird.Hardware-wise, the screen on the S3 is excellent; it's incredibly clear, and unlike e.g. the HTC One X, has a user-replaceable battery and a microSD card slot for expansion. And on this note, you very likely will want to expand it. Similarly to the HTC One S, the Galaxy S3 and all 16GB Android 4.0 phones only have around 10GB of storage available due to the way Ice Cream Sandwich partitions and formats the system software & storage. On devices like the HTC One line, however, there is no user-upgradeable storage to add anyway. You also get 2 years worth of 50GB of Dropbox storage with the S3, which is a rather nice freebie. Also, despite the large 4.8" screen, the phone is easy to handle, and the battery life is pretty acceptable too. As with pretty much all Android phones besides something like the Razr Maxx, you'll be charging it every day, but I took this off the charger at 7am today, and at 2.45 with occasional use, the battery reports 72% remaining.I will confess to a little pre-ownership buyer's remorse given that this purchase has left my credit card hot to the touch, but in practise, seeing as I'll keep it for a couple of years and use it daily, the S3 is a highly impressive piece of kit.

Very very happy!! Snoozing BlackBerry loses me!
This is a superb phone-lightening quick, easy to use, so much to personalise, screen and viewing quality is amazing...I"m struck by how sharp and high tech it is. I phoned Virgin who happily changed my BlackBerry package to a regular superior package fir the same monthly tarriff without tieing me to a new contract (mine due to expire in August, but really wanted the S3). I've been using it for two days now and have had only a couple of niggles:1. It uses a micro chip and because Virgin don't do those yet, I had to go to a local guy who unlocks phones to cut it down for me(£2). None of the phone shops would, not even my provider, although they reffered me.2. The touch screen keyboard is small and nails won't type letters...one must either use pinkie or a stylus..annoying!3. Transferring contacts via bluetooth from Blackberry (I had the Bold 9700) doesn't work...you'll have to individually save each contact to your sim on your BB before putting into your S3...Very time consuming but contacts work when you open your contacts on your S3.4. It is a slick phone but the pop-in back cover is flimsy...open and close with care....also buy a phone and screen cover immediately...Amazon sellers do them as a pack, including a stylus.There's much more to do on it and I highly recommend it...its spec is far superior to iphone or any android at the moment...a winner for me!UPDATE AFTER A FEW WEEKS OF USAGE:I'm still loving my S3. However, there are some niggles:-The charger cord is really short.-You'll need a stylus to type on touch screen if you're using it portrait style otherwise you hit wrong letters. You could use it landscape style, but I don't like that way much.-You can't text using both hands so slows you down (qwerty and option of touch screen would be better)-The back cover is flimsy...avoid opening and closing too much.-Headphone design and sound quality are poor but have to use them if you want to listen to radio as they carry the transmitter-It is quite delicate: Get a flip cover and screen shield to protect as soon as you buy it.-It doesn't come with car charge, so I had to buy that as an extra (beware that the more settings you customise will consume charge quicker).-The sound isn't that powerful...you would need to get extra speakers if you want to use it as a music system.

From Apple fanboy to S3 Fanatic
First let me say that I've been using iPhone's for years and know them like the back of my hand; however, the iPhone has been getting increasingly boring as it is so restricted. So I decided to try out the S3 and my mind has been blown! There is a learning curve if you've never used an Android device before, to be honest the first few weeks I disliked this device, that was until I truly figured out how to use the open source formatting to the fullest potential. In order to have the iPhone compete with the S3 in anyway you would have to jailbreak it (which voids warranty), whereas with the S3 you simple can download ROMs/Launchers from the play store. I would highly suggest goLauncher, it allows you to customize your SMS screen, icons, docks, widgets, transition effects, you name it this launcher can customize it. There are several other great launchers, such as NovaLauncher and ApexLauncher that completely customize the look and performance of your S3 as well. Another great addon is to either download Swiftkey or Touchpal from the app store, both are fantastic keyboards that blow the iPhone's out of the water. Another powerful aspect of this phone is the fantastic camera! The flash of this camera is far brighter than the iPhone's. Not only that but there are so many features of the camera that make it so much more functional. For starters the front facing camera is crisp and clean, while the iphones is so pixelated and cheap looking. There are also several features such as "smile shot" which will automatically take a picture when the person smiles. You can also change the scene effects, for instance if you choose "night" the camera takes superb images in very low light, while the iPhone struggles to focus . I will say that the S3 in some ways does have a few flaws:1. Power button placement is on the right side, it would be far better if it were on the top like other smartphones2. S3 has no volume switch that would allow it to be set to vibrate quickly3. The back material feels like cheap plastic once removedNow lets compare that to the flaws of the iPhone:1. Small screen, which looks even smaller after viewing an S32. Can't change the theme, icons, transition effects, etc. the iPhone is not customizable at all!3. No live wallpapers4. Kiddish app store, you will find several mature apps in the Android market5. No widgets (there are numerous clock, calendar, and statusbar widgets for Android6. Heavy and blocky feeling, while the S3 is thin and light7. You can't download jailbroken apps from the app store; however, you can download rooted apps (Android equivalent of jailbreaking) straight from the android market. This means less malware and viruses.8. No external memory, that means if you buy a 16GB iphone you will only have 16Gb of storage, the android has removable cards that can add 34GB and even 64GB of storage for all your photos, music, and videos. The only way to get more room on the iPhone is to delete stuff you already have.I could go on and on with the flaws of the iPhone compared to the S3! So in conclusion the S3 decimates the iPhone, trust me when I say that! The only people that would prefer an iPhone over the S3 are the technological illiterate or simply casual users who just want to text and call. If either are the case then just buy a prepaid phone, because for the price of the iPhone you're throwing your money away. The iPhone 5 will also fail miserably to the S3, do you know why? It's because the iPhone is about money and not making drastic changes that will satisfying the customers; for instance, they don't allow memory cards because they want you to spend more money upgrading, they don't allow rooted/jailbroken apps in their app store because they don't want you to simply download apps that can create wifi hotspots for free. The only way you can truly believe the iPhone 5 will be the king is if you've never experience a true open source phone like the S3 or you're simply too technologically ignorant to know how to use it. So you have the choice buy the iphone 4s or wait for the iphone 5 and the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want or you can buy the S3 and see how deep the rabbit hole really goes.

Awesome phone! Tried and Tested for almost two years. battery life is little weaker than the others.
I have been using this phone for almost two years now, and have loved the experience. So I decided to gift this to my not-so-tech-savvy Mom, because android is actually very user friendly, and truly has the best app store in the world.. The samsung phone DOES have an issue regarding its battery life, especially if you have a lot of apps downloaded on it. As compared to phones in the same range from some other companies, this one drains out a lil faster.Shipping and delivery was very quick too. Mom received it in 3 days, including weekend.Apart from that, the phone is quite sturdy. In all these two years, I've only once had an issue, which was with the power button having become too sensitive, but that was quickly resolved by hard-resetting the phone.Love that the front camera is so good too! The speakers are awesome.Thumbs up to the S3!!!

From iPhone 4S to Galaxy S3
Like many of you I have been reading all of these "reviews" from people who don't own the device and was unsure on what to do and what I'd be receiving.First of all I ordered from Global Mobiles, whom I contacted twice before ordering. Both questions were answered in minutes. Phone same sealed in OEM box. There was also another box that included an adapter to convert the EU plug to US, directions on how to change language to English and instructions on how to setup APN to get HPSA+ speeds. Those weren't quite correct. If you're only getting edge speeds make sure to apply the following settings:Name: AT&TAPN: wap.cingularProxy: leave blankPort: leave blankUsername:[email protected]:CINGULAR1Server: leave blankMMSC: [...]MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.comMMS Port: 80MCC:310MNC:410APN Type: leave blankIf you're a Mac user like me, make sure to download android.com/filetransfer. Otherwise the device won't show up on your computer.This phone simply put is amazing. I like iOS and I now have come to like Android. I don't see one phone as better. They both are great in their own ways. However, if like me you've been using iOS since 2007 or even the last year. The galaxy 3 definitely provides a breath of fresh air.I won't get into specs. There is no lag what so ever on the device and it is very fluid.As far as S-Voice. For the person that said it only comes in German. I can kind of see their complaint. When you first turn the device on you can set the language to English. However, when you launch S-Voice. It is still in German by default and you have to click the right arrow through several screens of German text before you can change the language. Typically the right arrow is ok/accept, so I was able to guess my way through it. Realistically though one would assume you only need to set the language once so I don't blame them. Again you can set S-Voice to English as well as other languages.The 4.8 inch screen is beautiful. Having an iPhone and iPad 3, I find this screen large enough to serve both purposes. I can comfortably browse, watch videos as well as read books.The browser is great as well. The larger screen again helps and it is nice that you can take advantage of flash.The rear camera uses the same parts as the iPhone 4S so expect similar quality. However, the camera has a ton of settings. Almost as many as stand alone cameras. The front camera on the S3 is higher quality and very crisp. One thing that I hadn't heard mention of was the LED flash. BE CAREFUL. In a completely dark room I literally temporarily blinded myself. In that respect it blows the iPhone 4S away in my opinion so I did get better night pictures.I didn't want to get too technical as for many they're just looking for a great screen, fluid OS and great browser / camera. If you have other questions let me know.

Review for Unlocked Galaxy 3 purchased from Amazon
Phone: excellent. I'm a former blackberry devotee, and was loyal to that full-keyboard for many years, despite wanting all the apps, speed, and other such features only available on iPhones and other such premium phones. I am thrilled with my galaxy. It offers the same ease of access to email, and many more apps. Getting used to an android has been a bit challenging, but gets easier all the time, and has nothing to do with poor product or glitches. I also love the camera. The photos are absolutely beautiful. Last note: I am using T-Mobile as my service provider; you will need to go to the store to get a compatible SIM card for this phone, as it requires a smaller one than comes with many of the simpler phones (I tried to configure it with an old SIM card from a 40-dollar phone at home - didn't work!).Seller: I bought this phone from VIVA2013 and completely recommend buying from this distributor. It was said to arrive in 6-8 days but only took two days from over 2,000 miles away. You will note that there is only one shipping-speed, but the product arrived quickly, in brand-new condition, and was well packed for protection. This seller also necessitates the customer sign for the item on delivery, which is a great bonus as many of my amazon items are simply left at the door, whereas this item is far too expensive to be left unattended.Edited to add: This phone is a GT 19300. It doesn't list this in the product description, and I was uncertain *which* G3 I would be getting. Hope this is helpful to anyone who wanted clarification before purchasing.

Last note: I am using T-Mobile as my service provider; you will need to go to the store to get a compatible SIM card for this phone, as it requires a smaller one than comes with many of the simpler phones (I tried to configure it with an old SIM card from a 40-dollar phone at home - didn't work!).Seller: I bought this phone from VIVA2013 and completely recommend buying from this distributor. It was said to arrive in 6-8 days but only took two days from over 2,000 miles away. You will note that there is only one shipping-speed, but the product arrived quickly, in brand-new condition, and was well packed for protection. This seller also necessitates the customer sign for the item on delivery, which is a great bonus as many of my amazon items are simply left at the door, whereas this item is far too expensive to be left unattended.Edited to add: This phone is a GT 19300. It doesn't list this in the product description, and I was uncertain *which* G3 I would be getting. Hope this is helpful to anyone who wanted clarification before purchasing."}],"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.857142857142857,"bestRating":5,"ratingCount":7}}
