Some disappointments or how do I do that?

1. The trim volume pressed on my phone changed the volume too abruptly.
2. I have two numbers now in my favorites for my home phone? Where did the other number come from?
3. When someone leaves a voice mail in my recent list I do not see the caller id phone number, just says voicemail. Why can't I see the phone of the person that left the voice mail? Is this my problem?

PLEASE make any new interfaces for functions user friendly so any idiot can figure it out. Eliminate screens if you can and default things so I know what the phone is asking for. Some things are not that intuitive.
Pros: Bright display, lot of functionality
Cons: look at comments

Great Phone - Wont look at another Brand again!

This is a substantial improvement from my last smartphone, which had terrible battery life on my other phone. Battery life for the S3 was averaging over 30 hours per charge. I easily get a full day's work out of the phone.
It is great for browsing, with a sharp, large screen. At first i was hesitant to get rid of my other phone due to no physical keyboard but the swype feature and amazing screen made me forget about a real keyboard in like 10 minutes. When working on documents, the extra screen real estate is a definite plus.This is also true when viewing news updates, news videos, or other visual data.

There are plenty of quality apps in the Android ecosystem. My only complaint is with the default email app, The push feature on email is spotty and hope samsung can get this fixed. While my gmail account pushes all day and works flawlessly my other work accounts have to be manually refreshed even when push set. Also, If my work email gets over 20 emails it will stop pushing too. If i could stick to gmail I would but cant due to work requirements.
The phone responds quickly to the demands placed upon it. Call quality is good. I do recommend a good case and screen protector. So far, my phone has been durable and the display is beautiful, vibrant, and realistic.
The new upgrade gave split screen app is nice when trying to paste information into emails, texts and other things. Also, the 3D photo gallery is amazing looking like a wheel of film strips that can be zoomed in for ease of visibility.
The music app functions as should, camcorder is nice and does record clean videos. The camera is by far more one of the nicest cameras found in a phone. I can zoom in the pictures on my laptop and the detail is remarkable. Geo tagging is nice.
Navigation is great as all android systems are but surprising the Samsung battery holds up to the GPS pulling a signal really well ( better than the other 4 android phones I've had ).
WIFI is good but the only problem I notice is you have to download an app if you're WIFI is not set to broadcast or you cannot join your network. Once downloaded had no issues with connecting my private networks (business and personal ).The browser is great on 4G LTE its blazing fast and loads all pages without any issues both mobile and full site.
The overall break down gives the Samsung S3 is great and hope to keep this phone for as long as possible. If I have to get another phone in the future my first choice will be a Samsung as they just know how to make a phone that works as intended

Great for college students

I love my Samsung Galaxy S3! I really wanted to get the Samsung Galaxy S4, but my boyfriend gift me the S3 for my birthday in April and I must say I am more than pleased with the S3. I love that it is quick to respond and react when I touch the screen. I love the new software updates, I just learn so much about my phone everyday. I use this phone to do everything. As a college student, I don't know what I would have done without this phone during finals. The phone is fast and it gets me through the web pages real quick making it easy for me to share Google docs with my peers.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight, fast!, long battery life!!
Cons: it could be a tad bit smaller
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had this phone a month and I just can't believe the things I can do and the things I still have to learn about this phone. I think this is the greatest smart phone out there . cant wait to get a S-4 when I can up grade. It is so easy to use and the screen is just the right size to watch Netflix
Thank you Samsung for bringing the phone to the world

I have had multiple cell phones and by far, this Samsung Galaxy S3 is the best phone i have owned. There are many great features and the performance is outstanding! The battery life is far greater that comparable phones and the display is bright and rich.
The only way I would get rid of this phone is to upgrade to the Samsung Galaxy S4.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: speaker volume could be a little better.
I would recommend this to a friend!
