Has it all without the price
on February 4, 2014
Posted by: SmartfoneFan
from New Jersey, USA
This phone has it all, it is easy to operate and the quality of the calls are excellent. No dropped calls. More features than I will ever figure out and downloading apps is a snap. Only disappointment is the rather arbitrary selection of languages available in the operating system.
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: limited language selection
I would recommend this to a friend!

Better than IPhone 4s
on July 26, 2012
Posted by: Basel39

Let me first start off saying that I have only had Iphones since my first phone. I have never had an android or any other phone than an IPhone. If you are reading this and are trying to decide if you should switch to the Samsung Galaxy S3... DO IT!!! I am happy to say I am no longer an IPhone user. This phone is the most beautiful looking machine with the most advance features. Its also lightning fast. With face detection, Nice HD screen, 4g LTE, Longer battery life and much more this phone definitely beats the IPhone 4s. Ive been keeping up with the new IPhone 5 and I was thinking I should wait. Well with all the rumors and the new features that the new IPhone will have, the Samsung Galaxy will still beat it. So apple users, don't think twice about switching over.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, battery life, customizing
I would recommend this to a friend!

BEWARE!!! AWFUL SIGNAL STRENGTH!
on August 6, 2012
Posted by: SixFeetDeep
from South of Chicago, IL.
Expertise:Intermediate
ONLY gets a poor rating due to all the issues with the weak weak WEAK! signal strength. The phone itself is flat out awesome...If that issue could be fixed, then I would totally recommend this to everybody!
1st thing you have to be aware of is that this phone will constantly have issues with signal strength & will drop Wi-Fi because of a weak signal strength! My other smart phones have no issues what-so-ever & this new Samsung Galaxy 3 DOES! The majority of the time I get 2 bars for signal strength. My other smartphones usually have 4 or 5. The Wi-Fi reception is weak. I can't go to the end of my house inside without this phone flaking out on me! My other smart phones have NO issue. I hope Samsung has some sort of fix for this because the phone truly rocks! Really by far this phone is above & beyond all others out there. It just needs a fix for the WEAK signal strength!!!

I love this phone. I had the bionic before hand and was tired of waiting on an update. Samsung put together an amazing phone. It's fast, easy to use, learning the motions is fun and easy. I love the fact that I can pile on the gigs as well with a 64gig micro sd, a ton of music went into my phone right away. The camera is wonderful. I have to admit that even a lot of the bloat apps on there are not bad. I love this phone, and I really don't see anything getting better than this in a long time. The display is great, the sound is not bad at all for a phone either. And those who say it feels cheap must like to hold i-bricks.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

Great phone crippled by Verizon
on July 7, 2012
Posted by: YadaYadaYada
from Nashville, TN
Expertise:Expert
You've read the reviews on line. There is nothing else I can say about this phone, It's fantastic! But I would steer you away from the Verizon version. Verizon has locked the bootloader. No other provider in the WORLD has done this, just Verizon. Verizon has also left many Samsung apps off the phone. More Services, Samsung Apps, FM radio are all missing. Without Samsung Apps, you can't download the car dock app! The one in the Play store is blocked, BY VERIZON! Find a provider that doesn't cripple an AMAZING phone.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, great battery life!
Cons: verizon
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Horrible Reception
on August 6, 2012
Posted by: HorribleReception
Once again Samsung does not have the reception issue right. I am on my third generation of Samsung phones and every one of them has had this issue. The Facinate was just like this - dropped calls, no 3g/4g, garbled calls due to reception. They had to do an update to make it have good (not great) reception. Used to get 3 bars in my home, now I get NO SERVICE.
Samsung - do this NOW for this phone. I am embarased to have to keep calling someone back. Fix this issue and it is a 5 star phone.
Cons: horrible reception
I would recommend this to a friend!
