GSIII blows the competition away

This phone has way more features than the competition and way more flexibility. There are maybe one or two features I miss from my previous phone,but for my money give me an SIII anyday.
This device has really changed the way that I use my smartphone. It comes with many Samsung exclusive features (s-voice, all-share play etc.) that I greatly appreciate. Updates for this device come out relatively fast,always have offered new features that I can utilize in some way, and all updates have greatly improved on all existing features. S-voice Before the Jelly Bean update s-voice couldn't even compare to siri, it was choppy, unresponsive and lacking key features. Now I find myself commonly using it for everday task including scheduling events, sending messages, and navigating on the go.
Pros- I love this device it has a premium feeling about it even with the plastic backing. I love the user interface on this device it offers easy access to all the features I need quickly and efficiently. batter life is sufficient for a days use and can be greatly extended with the use of the battery saver option already installed on the device. I also loved the headphones included with the S3 they provide rich sound that can reach high volume. Cons-None
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color
I would recommend this to a friend!

I wanted something that was easy to use and see. I am older and the phone I used to have was too hard to see because of the font sizes available this is just what I wanted and the quality is excellent with a sturdy build.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: price
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have been a long time user of Samsung products. I researched a number of smart phones before I chose this one. The features and the ability to upgrade convinced me to purchase this one. It is an excellent product that allows me to do all the things I need to do with a cell phone and more.
Sold my iPhone so I could upgrade to the Samsung S3. This is the most capable, most advanced and most stable phone I have ever owned! I use 1200 Min and 90 MB data per month ave with almost 100% uptime for last 90 days!
Where do I begin?! I've always been a huge supporter of Samsung products but this phone takes the CAKE!! It does everything I need it to do, when I need it to do it. The S Voice app could be tweaked to be more precise when matching vocal requests to make phone calls (but I'll let the S4 handle that :-)). Basically, I can do anything with just a few taps and viola!! Samsung has definitely taken over with this one. iPhone 5 who?! Get outta here!!
I wanted a Note to start with, but once I saw one in person it was as big as my head, so that option was out. The next best thing was the Samsung Galaxy S III. At least I thought so. I don't know if I'm missing something or just don't really know how to fully utilize my phone, but it seems to be missing several features that I saw previewed from other carries, though this could also be because Verizon doesn't like to let people have full access to their phones...
The battery life is just...terrible. When used throughout the day, it seems to almost lose power at a rate of 1-1.5% per minute...giving you about an hour and 40 minutes of use depending on what you're doing. I pretty much only use it to check email, instagram, and Facebook. This loss is with auto brightness enabled and power saving mode active, so that is the only reason that I docked a star. In short: the battery life is TERRIBLE.
The phone is fast, which is great. The design is smooth and very appealing. VERY lightweight (when not stuffed into a fat Otterbox). It does everything I need it to and more. I can play games (which I rarely do) with relative ease (some games still seem to lag for some reason), check my email, browse the internet, instagram, check Facebook, and many more activities. For what I use it for it is MORE than I need.
Overall: Great buy. Highly recommend. Also recommend buying an extended battery.
