The Samsung Galaxy S III is a worth purchase from Best Buy. This is one of the best mobile phone in this price range with great features. I am extremely satisfied with the product. Just one thing to mention that Galaxy S III is now considered as an old model, but still a good one to use.

Good price on the phone. Had a Galaxy S 1 for four years and it was still working but wanted a 4G so I invested in the Galaxy 111 4G. I use it with Net10 and I happy with service.

Im bought this phone because just got used to its software and didnt want to get used to something newer yet. Only thing i have noticed is its unlocked by third party so the battery life isnt as great as a factory Samsung s3 but it is good and a great price compared to what it came out at.

Questionis the phone new or used
Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer I just received it yesterday...This is definitely not a "Brand New", but looks like it was used for couple days and then someone returned it back to the store. The only way I could tell that it was used was by small scuffs near camera housing, and rest looks "New". It came in a white Samsung box with all accessories, and manual. The one I received has "At&T logo and software"...worked like new.

QuestionWill it work well in Kazakhstan?
Asked 8 years ago by Rita.
- Answer It likely will work great in Kazakhstan unless the carrier there uses the same technology as T-Mobile here in the United States. Here it doesn't send or receive calls 50% of the time. This is an unlocked phone that was originally configured for AT&T. Just don't use it on T-Mobile and you'll be fine.
