Very Nice Features

I wanted a Note to start with, but once I saw one in person it was as big as my head, so that option was out. The next best thing was the Samsung Galaxy S III. At least I thought so. I don't know if I'm missing something or just don't really know how to fully utilize my phone, but it seems to be missing several features that I saw previewed from other carries, though this could also be because Verizon doesn't like to let people have full access to their phones...
The battery life is just...terrible. When used throughout the day, it seems to almost lose power at a rate of 1-1.5% per minute...giving you about an hour and 40 minutes of use depending on what you're doing. I pretty much only use it to check email, instagram, and Facebook. This loss is with auto brightness enabled and power saving mode active, so that is the only reason that I docked a star. In short: the battery life is TERRIBLE.
The phone is fast, which is great. The design is smooth and very appealing. VERY lightweight (when not stuffed into a fat Otterbox). It does everything I need it to and more. I can play games (which I rarely do) with relative ease (some games still seem to lag for some reason), check my email, browse the internet, instagram, check Facebook, and many more activities. For what I use it for it is MORE than I need.
Overall: Great buy. Highly recommend. Also recommend buying an extended battery.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Camera and video are fantastic. only complaint is the keyboard freezes up and it can be difficult to fill out some forms because the area you are typing doesnt automatically appear above the keyboard. this may be a site compatability problem rather than a phone design problem but i wish it could be fixed on the phone side
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Samsung Galaxy S3

Expertise:Expert
I love all the features like NFC and multi-shot camera. The phone is smooth and very fast. The all share feature works great as well as dlna. I would recommend this for all users. If are an iphone fan this leaves it in the dust. Only thing i would add to this is battery from note 2 that thing never dies.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display
