Solid phone! Lots of features that work well.

First, My complaints. Its plastic. The entire phone is made of plastic. (Well not everything, the screen is glass, the circuitry... You get the idea) I would be more inclined to buy the s4 if it weren't lighter. I want a phone that has a solid feel to it. Somthing sturdy like metal, that doesn't feel like I might Break it if I put it in my pocket the wrong way. My battery cover is cracked all over, its a wonder it still stays on. ;) Next, the gorilla glass is a very nice addition, but it is easily prone to breaking. The bezel is much larger than I would like in a phone, although we haven't made it to edgeless screens it would make for a stunning device. How could I forget, the headphone port and the charge port! I don't care where you put them as long as they are together, like next to each other. Not on opposing sides. Try using the phone with a cable extruding from each end.
Now for the Good, as you can see from my stars, I believe this to be a very well made piece of equipment. My complaints are more like "aww samsung, why did you.... oh well, I'll get used to it." The screen is very brilliant, it has very bright and vibrant colors. Its not 1080p which the world has fallen standard to, but its pretty close. It has a dual core, most would say this is a con as the international version has a quad core, but I use my phone as a computer and I haven't had any performance issues... EVER! I have ran out of ram before, but I didn't notice until I opened task manager. very long battery life! If I'm not on it much, I can easily go 2 days before charging. Overall, I would give this a 4.5/5. Mostly because of my complaints above. I also see samsung has pre-filled some pros and cons for us... listing lightweight as a con, I however would place lightweight on the con side, as to me, lightweight devices feel cheap and flimsy. Like a happy meal toy you use for a day and throw away. This goes with durable as well, if its light, it doesn't feel like it can take a few hits. But, thats just my 2 cents.

The display is great. Easy to look at easy to read. The multi-window feature enables me to work in two different items. Getting to the internet is faster with the 4g. Very thin and not heavy.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

S III Review
on July 3, 2013
Posted by: Blue2me
from NJ
I first got the Galaxy S3 ( the 4 wasnt out yet) never having had a Samsung phone before.
I like this phone A LOT it has great definition, great color and not too touchy sensitive without adjustment.
I am not overly pleased with the speaker quality or volume but it is ok.
The battery is only OK with heavy use. I have used it steady for 7 hours and the battery warning came on (30%).
With little to moderate use the battery lasted 12 -15 hours.
Overall a great personal phone.

I love my new Samsung Galaxy SIII! It's not as streamlined as the iphone but I have found that it's far superior in its overall capabilities. Having a great time finding new apps, using the voice commands, and I love the large display for taking photos.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable
