    outstanding product, ease of use, when the initial device came, its battery discharge was fast. i changed to no automatic brightness, removed unnecessary widgets - ssuggest, mediahub and i can go through the entire day with 15% battery used (with wifi on) with minimal usage. oled screen has a issue with not so visible under direct sunlight, you need to max the brightness to be able to see, oled screen also doesnt have a true white colour which you see on the blank white internet page, has a bluish tint to it. but otherwise, videos are gorgeous, with pretty, vibrant colours. good for its price and worth it for its usability.

    The phone has a good picture. It is easy to text a lot because of the microphone ability. The only thing is the battery life is only about 24 hours before I have to recharge, and sometimes less when I use it frequently.

    we have two i-phones in the family already,and while they are a little more rugged do to their closed case construction,i prefer the open android system and the ability to use an sd card.i haven't heard anyone brag about their battery life in a smart phone,so i guess this is an issue for the industry,although this phone does seem to recharge quickly.any questions i had getting comfortable with the phone were figured out before i could ask for help,so i suppose you would say it is intuitive.lately i have noticed my sound settings are changing,perhaps while in my pocket,i don't know yet.i was worried about the size of the phone initially,but i liked the larger screen so much i took a chance and i haven't been disappointed.overall i am very happy with this phone.

    Better than my previous iPhone 3gs. Has better battery life and I can add more memory using an SD card. Screen is much bigger.

    The phone is for my wife's upgrade and she loves it, from the front facing camera to to large vibrant screen and great main camera. A large screen with the footprint of a much smaller device, great design.

    I love this phone! It's awesome; great graphics,great camera,great sound,etc. I haven't had any problems so far. I would recommended this phone for all ages 10+. But put a case on it if your a clumsy person because it will crack easily (mine hasn't cracked yet).But there are a lot of cool cases that are really protective! If you want to get the s4 but think it's too expensive,the GS3 is the next best thing and it's just as good!!! That's all I have to say! :)

    easy to use, excellent screen quality. Yes, it is large,but that just makes it easier to find in my purse and easier to use the keyboard. Love it!~

    Solid Phone

    This is a solid Samsung phone with a lot of great features. However, I've had difficulty using Kies Air. It uses WiFi to upload content but I've had trouble syncing it with my fiances computer. I have a desktop at home with a direct connection (no WiFi) and there's no way I've been able to use a direct USB connection to transfer files. It's a little annoying right now but I've managed using Dropbox and other programs. Definitely a great phone though with good picture quality and cool features. I like the slide to text, works really well. Not crazy about the keyboard though. Overall, solid phone that I would recommend to others seeking a quality smartphone.

    I really am satisfied with my new phone. It's thinner and lighter and the screen is bigger. I love all of the features on it. The only thing that I am still trying to get used to that my previous phone did not do was, after I send my text the keyboard would disappear. On the Samsung Galaxy it stays up until I hit the "back" button. I don't like that. So it's taking some getting used to. I will say also that the battery life lasts awhile and I love that! My previous phone had to be plugged in everyday and this one I can go a couple of days without plugging in. And I have a lot of apps on my phone that stay on, such as Live Wallpaper, etc.

    First I would like to say this is a great phone for android. Now that being said, I came from a jailbroken iPhone and have to say I miss it. This time around I didnt want to drop $300 on a phone. I can feel the difference when handling it. The S3 feels like if would drop it, it would break. I imediatly bought a otter case for it. But other than that, the pictures are great, the calls are clear most of the time, reception is great and the internet is fast. . On the other side the external speaker needs more clarity, and the phone could be more intuitive to use. Make a little easier to use. I would really give it 4 and a half stars if I could.

    I love love love the Samsung Galaxy iii. It's a carry-in-your-purse little computer that keeps me connected to everything my home pc has. And the apps are very helpful. I don't play games or share photos, just phone use and take pics and browse the web. Self portrait pics are cool too. The sound recorder is great to use in classes. The automatic sound recorder comes on when taking videos ~ it's over the top! I have ordered a flip cover and can't wait for it to arrive so my phone will be better protected.

    I bought this phone for my wife to replace her iPhone and she loves it. Nice big screen and very easy to use. Only drawback is that the plastic body feels a little cheap.

    This is a great phone! Very fast browsing and takes good pictures. The only negative is the battery life if you get to many apps. The headphones aren't bad either.

    I resisted at first....I was in DEEP! The iPhone cult that is...lol! I've been an iPhone user for years.... I have the 4s...but then someone bought me this phone for Christmas and I LOVE it. You can do so much more w/this phone. When u get tired of the way the operating system looks on the phone....you can change it. I know realize that the iPhone is way more conservative with what you're able to customize. The operating system on an iPhone gives you limited ability to revamp your phone. In comparison, the samsung galaxy phones are hands down better! I hope someone finds this to be helpful. Shay 30yrs old.
