I was introduced to the smartphone market with an iPhone and I really didn't want to go through the learning curve of a new device and operating system. But then I got the Galaxy S3. Wow! So worth it! Now when I go back to my iPhone it feels like the Stone Age. I think my most used feature is Swype text entry. It's so fast! My favorite features are the little details for usability. The way it vibrates when I pick it up to let mice know I have an alert. All the gestures I can do pan and zoom a photo, e ubiquity of the back button and menu button. This is a great phone and a great OS.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Inexpensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very happy with the over all performance of this phone. Love the large screen it is clear and very hi def compared to past phones. The operating system is good it's fast and no problems with it hanging up or running slow.Upgraded from an iphone 4 and glad I did the android system allows for alot more customization.
I had a regular mobile phone, and wanted a Smartphone that was different than others. I got the Samsung Galaxy S3 mainly because of the perfect screen size. Not too big, not too small.
What I love about it is the ease of customization. I can set my lock screen background, my wallpaper, and even my own ringtone. The performance is great and the interface is easy. It's what makes a smartphone simple.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Short Battery life

The phone does everything I need, and then some, but the big challenge is the battery life is very short, lasting only a day if I'm using either WiFi or Blue Tooth. Also, living out in the country reception is sometimes spotty, yet my wife's standard phone works just fine. Aside from this, the phone is great. Nice to have a handheld computer handy for web surfing since I can't take the laptop everywhere. I have the phone in a LifeProof box, which works great.
Pros: Bright display, Durable
Cons: short battery life
I would recommend this to a friend!

A great product !!!! I am happy. Have been buying "smart phones" for a long time, longer than I can remember, Palm, Blackberry, Motorola. This is the first "smart phone" I've had that comes close to being "smart". So glad I made the move.
