Phone owned for less than a year

Not the phone everyone was telling me how good it is. it's not fast, crashes android apps, such as messaging and contacts. The build quality is not the one of a 500 euros flagship.Screen is horrible, with unnatural colors.

Amazing phone.

Phone owned for less than a month

This is the first phone I've ever had, and I gotta say, it's pretty amazing. I've had it for about a week now, and I haven't had a single problem with it. Except the battery, it kinda drains quick but I'll figure something out lol.

great phone

Phone owned for less than 3 months

I love SGS 3 it's extremely beautiful device. It is very powerful. It is very good for me. Omm gosh. I don't like SGS4 because it is a very big and uncomfortable. Oh I don't know what I write maan. It's so bad that you must write 200 character

the best phone i ever have

Phone owned for less than a month

Samsung galaxy s3 is the best smartphone at all.
S3 vs HTC ONE x:
In addition htc one x has got a faster cpu,but it isn't used as well as Samsung's. for example in SGS3 you can see your video when you are sending a message.or when you are browsing web,you see that samsung is too better than htc.
Also SGS3 uses a 4.8 Super AMOLED screen that takes much less charge than Super IPS LCD which is used in htc one x and the colors are more living in SGS3.
S3 vs Apple iphone 5 :
It is not fair to compare iphone5 with SGS 3! Because iphone 5 has come after SGS3. But you can not compare the Quad core1400 MHz cpu of the SGS3 with the Dual core 1300MHz cpu of the iphone5!
I have to say that apple has got a very good Build quality and everyone knows that but it doesn't mean that apple is better.I think both of them are good phones but SGS3 has got a better results than iphone 5.

Not a flagship or upgrade (anymore?)

Phone owned for less than a month

Fine if u only look at the display from a distance, don't shoot photo's indoors, don't mind upgrades are delayed to not outshine S4, and 'quadcore' sounds better than dualcore when recent dualcores are much faster.

- Display has only green dots in 720p: red and blue are only half 720p. And shows notable green shade at even slight angles :(
- CPU and GPU are old: newer dualcores outperform S3
- Updates are held back to favour S4
- Camera only shines in bright light: is easily outperformed by my old Xperia Ray from 2010 (and was half the price)
- Build quality is fragile and lacks finesse. Even my old Ray has aluminum sides, and will withstand regular drops 10 times better.

Flagship?? Even in 2012? I don't see it. My Xperia Ray did everything I could possibly want and need, and thios was not an improvement. Sent it back. Especialy costing 3x what I payed for my old Xperia Ray, early 2012.

best phone ever

Phone owned for less than a month

Alot of amazing features that make the galaxy S3 the best phone in market today as it features a super amoled 4.8'' screen that goes perfect with colors especially dark ones, it also features S-voice, smart stay, S-beam, All-sharecast and android ICS that is up-gradable to jelly bean including many other amazing features .

like seriously, the best phone ever!!!

Phone owned for less than 3 months

For anyone thinking to buy a phone, this is it! Its simply amazing! Dont mind the number of negative reviews on here. Its feel is superior. Its OS is second to none. The phones GPRS internet is even faster than 3G of some others. Its display is amazing, vibrant, what can i say? It has beautiful multiwindow technology where you could literally check your emails and watch a youtube video at the same time. Every single time you will be amazed about how much technology has been put into it. For example, when you plug in your headphones, it suggests a number of apps that could run with your headphones at once. It has auto brightness to automatically adjust the brightness of the screen when depending on how much light there is around you. There's a gorgeous light that keeps on blinking in standby mode when you got mail or a message. Its big enough to enable you text with two hands for thos e who big hands like me. Its thin as hell, charges real quick. Just amazing!!!

Excelent Phone, no more no less

Phone owned for less than a year

The Galaxy S III deserves all the sucess it had over more than a year of its release. If only I hadn't the impression that it would break in pieces after the first fall, but then again I am a declared Nokia fan.

My first Samsung Galaxy phone :)

Phone owned for less than 3 months

This is my first Samsung Galaxy phone. Before this, I had Lg gt540 Optimus. The s3 is incredible fast, ui is not lagging, all games are running on it without lags. Some peoples thinks, its design is ugly, but I think, the s3 is looking very good :)

BIG regret, like going back 20 years

Phone owned for less than a month

I obsessed and agonised over this phone for nearly a year until I could afford to buy one outright. Now i am crying about it. Ok, its fantastic at everything......Except being a phone!! My reception is reminiscent of my first phone 20 years ago, I have NO signal in my house, garden, most places at work, etc and it drops out completely even in high area. While my old Nokia N95 proudly boasts a full signal with the same network.
Ive tried all the recommended settings to boost it, but nothing. I am gutted. Have no choice but to sell asap.

It is good to be the King.

Phone owned for more than a year

The (by far) best Smartphone i had! Trust me I'm an engineer! Smartphones i had so far are: iPhone 3G, 3Gs, 4s, 5, HTC One X, i9000 and i9100 and i was never so amazed by a Phone like with the Galaxy S3. Its worth every $ or € you spend on it!

Lots and Lots of Disappointments

Phone owned for less than a year

The crappiest piece of junk i have ever owned. At first in the first few weeks i was totally in love with it, showing it off to anyone i knew but as time past by i started releasing problems that kept re occurring. My first problem was that suddenly my phone randomly got damaged in hardware and restarted in factory mode all by itself. This pissed me of a lot bcuase all my pictures and games and music etc had all been deleted. then my phones battery started draining rapidly even on sleeping mode making it last for half a day at moderate use. To make things worse, the cheap plastic has also started to peal of... now my once glorious gladiator phone that destroyed all phones looks like a piece of s**t with laggy movements and crap as battery. My advice, get the HTC One or any htc phone, don't trust Samsung to make the premium device because they will guaranty you a large disappointment. Even the iPhone would be a better solution (although that would be my last choice) . Don't buy this phone - Its not worth it

No disapointement

Phone owned for less than a year

The best smartphone I ever owned so far.
I was owning an HTC desire and GS2 before this one, they were both great phones at their time. I hesitate quite a bit to switch from the GS2 to GS3 but, really, my user experience increased dramatically.
So no disappointment here, GS3 is a great phone.

Awesome Smart Phone

Phone owned for less than a year

Samsung has been making smart phones to more smarter for long time and this smart phone is the evidence for it.
Owning this phone is a pleasure , it has made for to do any kind of tasks with ease and obviously it is a good multi tasker I'm vastly edicted to it since when I've purchased it . I've been doing lots and lots of works with it in ease. I hope this phone will get more smarter with it's future updates and serve it's functionalities for more years.

One of the best phone i have ever used

Phone owned for less than a year

The phone is fantastic.. I am using an intl version of s3 with quad core exynos chipset. The phone is fluid no doubt but at times it does tend to stutter. Rich video format suppot and very user friendly. outdoor visibility is bright sunlight is a problem (probably coz of AMOLED) but overall its good. The back of the phone looks kinda bland but overall its a complete phone with room for improvement in certain departments.
