Has everything I need in a phone and more! Not to mention it's sexy! It's super thin with a 4.8" screen that feels big in my hand. (Coming from 3.7" on a Droid.) A little dim compared to other phones. Even on maximum brightness... But it's not that noticeable. I love the 1080p video and 8mp camera. NO SHUTTER LAG IS AMAZING! Motion features are awesome, and S-voice is pretty good! Nothing you could hold a conversation with, but it's still fun to use. The 2GB dual-core processor works great. Quick and snappy. Battery lasts all day! Been unplugged since 9:30 this morning... It's about 10pm and I still have 74%! (With moderate use.) Probably helps I only have one widget running.. All in all this is a wonderful phone. I would definitely recommend it.
Pros: Realistic color, Lightweight, battery, screen size, features
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bye Bye iPhone

Just upgraded to the GSIII from an iPhone and I am blown away by the sheer size of the screen it is as big as the whole iPhone is. It's the smoothest Android I have ever owned. I am very pleased.
I actually got this device be default. I had a blackberry Bold 9930 that actually going bad on me (hardware issue) and needed a smartphone to handle my business right away. I checked out all available devices before settling on SG3....Email support coming from BB was a huge concern for me.
Well, the SG3 is fantastic at handling my emails among other things. I am pleasantly surprised at how much this device can do and do real well.
I also wasn't sure I'd like the larger screen either but now I can't see going to a smaller one. It is no longer an eye strain to accomplish anything. Highly recommended!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, beautiful screen quality, fast and very smooth
I would recommend this to a friend!

LOVE EVERYTHING

VERY HAPPY WITH THE PHONE. REALLY HAPPY THAT I DIDN'T LET MY FRIENDS TALK ME INTO SETTLING FOR THE IPHONE.
First off the phone by far is a great phone I am a phone fanatic. I think some of the features could have been better such as the keyboard. The screen quality is good but some things look a little washed out. S-voice was a slight disappointment and the feature for the screen to stay on is also a little shaky at times. The big disappointment is the overall build quality. The phone looks amazing but I feel like if I drop it is done. Why put all that power in such a flimsy casing. Overall it is a good phone much better than most I have used.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Inexpensive, Realistic color
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Phone That You Don't Own

It's a great phone that is feature packed but it takes some time getting used to Touch Wiz. I wish there was a way to go back to stock. With the bootloader locked down you come to realize you don't actually own the phone. Instead you pay a bunch of money to use it for a couple years.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: slippery

I had a fascinate & loved it. That is why I purchased this phone. I love everything about it except the reception!! It is HORRABLE!! Too many dropped calls in areas I never had a problem with. I have read on the web this is a chronic problem no matter which provider you are with! SAMSUNG, PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE!! NOW
