I have to say that after six month of owning this phone I love it just as much as I did the first day! In fact I am liking it even better now than I did the first day since I keep discovering new things this phone can do! I had an iPhone before and I will never go back. Great Job Samsung!!!
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have to say, from the moment I took it out of the box, I loved this phone! From the look to the features to the reliability. It's so easy to use, so user friendly. It's quick and it accepts all of the most recent apps. But not only these things, this phone was built to endure A LOT! I have now dropped it in the toilet (don't ask!) three times and it's still working like a dream. The screen is cracked and broken and missing pieces and I have no issues with the touchscreen. I will continue to purchase Galaxy products from now on as I have never had a tougher, sleeker, more reliable phone in my life. The only negative things I would have to say is that the battery life is not as great as I would like and the speaker quality is not so great. But those I'll live with because everything else is so amazing.
I got this phone primarily because of the screen size. I like the lightweight design but moreover, I can read it. The display options allow for me to change the settings so that I can easily read the display whether I have my contacts in or not. I absolutely love it.

The best choice I could of made

Yes the GS4 was out, but I couldn't be happier with a cell phone. It's customizable, easy, and just a beast of a phone.
The phone is Ok and I do mean just Ok. The design is all right but the materials used make it feel really cheap. I can't stand the Samsung music player. It has a tendency to have screen lag when flipping through songs. The ringer is way too quiet. The reason I bought this phone was because it is supposed to be a flagship phone and updates were promised. Well we all know where that's gone. Now that the S4 is out and we are getting closer to the18 month mark, where will that leave us stuck if the 4.3 update is not fixed soon. Sorry Samsung. Hopefully if you get this thing up to 4.3, or better yet 4.4, I will feel better about it.
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, not updated as promised, speakers not loud enough
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Wonderful phone

I have had this phone for 18 months and could not be happier with it! The phone itself is awesome but the camera and video functions are amazing! The first time I used the video function was at my daughter's band concert. I had not read any directions or experimented with the video function at all. I was zooming in getting great video and very happy with it. A couple sitting behind me who each had I-phones were watching me and making comments about how easy I made it look, how easy my phone was zooming in on the event, etc.
When the concert was over, they asked me it I had the new I-phone. I told them no, that it was a Galaxy S III, and they were amazed at how easy it was for me to video/control the zoom option.
On replaying the video later, I couldn't believe how well the phone had performed. It was better than some filming I had done with a video camcorder at other events. I do not have an extremely steady hand, but the video was perfect with no jerking movements and no change in filming when I zoomed in or out.
I am not great at reading all of the instructions on a product before I use it, but this was so easy and the video turned out wonderful.
I am a very happy and satisfied Samsung customer!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, so many capabilities
