Now an older phone; still perfectly capable.

The Samsung Galaxy S3, although now several models behind, is still perfectly capable of advanced functionality. Personally, I use this for a significant amount of file transfers, scripting, transferring data, etc., along w/ the standard functionally most users enjoy. This phone has been nearly perfect for the last few years, and I'm looking forward to my next Samsung phone; although it may be difficult to decide which one. The only con that consistently jumps out at me is the lack of privacy of text messages, etc. showing up on the lock screen. The Lock Screen Policy app worked great to fix that until Samsung's newest release of firmware broke it, but I'm hoping the developer of Lock Screen Policy will come out w/ a newer version. Other than that, the phone has worked great in several places around the world. :-)
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: lock screen privacy invasion
I would recommend this to a friend!

The GS3 is the perfect size for me. The display is large enough for clarity and it's small enough to fit in my pocket. One of my favorite additions was the flip case. I've had my GS3 over two years - it's in perfect condition. Very pleased with the camera as well.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

Samsung knows how to make a phone

The Galaxy S III is fantastic. It has a great camera, lengthy battery life, and a beautifully clear screen. I love it and refuse to trade it for anything. My one gripe is that sometimes the phone can freeze or slow down for a few seconds before responding to an input. But it is an amazing product and I would not hesitate to recommend it to a friend!
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable

This product has a questionable antenna

My father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, my wife and I all had the same wireless provider for approximately 10-15 years. We all live in rural communities. In addition, we all purchased the Samsung Galaxy S3 phone when it came out. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law changed to another wireless provider because of dropped calls and thinking they were getting lousy service from their wireless provider. My father-in-law and mother-in-law changed to another wireless provider because of dropped calls and thinking they were getting lousy service from their wireless provider. My wife and my contracts were about to end and we were considering changing to another wireless provider. While in conversation with a tech support supervisor from our wireless provider, he informed me that there may be issues with the antenna in the Samsung Galaxy S3 phone. We decided to stay with our wireless provider and purchase newer phones. My wife purchased the Samsung Galaxy S5 and I purchased the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. We no longer have calls dropped in the same locations we were having the problems before. In our experience our problems were not with the wireless provider, but with the Samsung Galaxy S3 phones. I would not recommend purchasing the Samsung Galaxy S3 phone, unless you live and travel near cell towers.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: questionable antenna
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
