love the big sreen and the quad core cpu make things run smoothly even when you are muli tasking 20 apps!
camera is great and takes photos in an instant and the name of my friends comes up right away is alwys impressive.i hae coneected it to my tv wirelessly and with wire les usb and keyboard use it on my tv, and with ps3 controller play games on my tv. used nfc for payment the other day for the first time, it was cool. file transfers wirlelessly is pretty fast.playing games is absolute delightnd samung asbeen giving so free coll games right now like modern combat 3 and asphalt 7... the battery time is better than before, the best right now but playing 3d games can take some juice... internett is fast and on the big screen enjoyble. i finished reading 6 books on its big screen(game of thones) .pretty cool! well note 2 is coming soon and i want to get that as that is going to be one hell of a smartphone. right now sammy is the best mobile maker around.

Good: Fast Processor, smooth, good connectivity, clear screen

Bad: Battery drains quickly, even with all sync, wireless turned off

Comment: Overall its a very good mobile, had it around a week.... AS LONG AS YOU HAVE IT plugged into the electrical socket 24/7.... Battery drains very quickly, I've turned off all sync, bluetooth etc... Cell Standby uses 68% of power, I understand its a software problem, SO WHERE IS THE UPDATE?

As far as I'm concerned its a MAJOR fault with the product, so may take my phone back to the shop for refund, if a fix is not available soon.

Comment: I had a S2 previously. Loved that phone. I know this one is better, but it makes no sense spending for a product which is 'only' marginally better than its predecessor. I'd rather suggest you go for Nokia's Lumia, which is beastly else wait for the tried-and-tested Iphone.

Good: Great speed, usability, and the camera!

Bad: Nothing so far!

Comment: I love how fast the S3 is... it's much quicker than my previous iPhone!

Also the camera.. it's stunning!

Here is a video I made that shows how beastly the camera is @ 1080p! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vcjp04PvOxY&list=LL42FIFujh9-cpfsB9lF3JFw&feature=mh_lolz

Good: Everything!

Bad: cannot think of anything

Comment: The Galaxy S3 is fantastic. I am just loving the experience of using it from the day i bought it. For some little known facts this site is well worth checking out www.samsunggalaxys3hq.com
Your friends are going to envy you, just because this phone is so amazing!

Good: Screen size and Quality, its big beefy processor, and LED notifications

Bad: plastic cover

Comment: This site really annoys me because its full of apple whores and the apple snobs, for once why cant a load of apple fans just admit that the s3 is a better handset and hold a lot more power for a use, it is big and bright and packs a massive quad-core processor. It holds lots of features which is more futurist and modern compared to apples boring old swipe through pages. its has got a lot more customization which makes the phone fun and easy to use, because of Samsung's curvy designs, the phone is easy and sleek to use and hold.

The phone is not for sound and easy to make a phone with the direct call function. have being a user of the iphone 4s and the htc oneX, i know about all the up to date phones and by far the samsung is the best of the bunch. all these apple snobs are just talking to much rubbish they stink of it. time to look away from the label and look at the functionality of the phones, and yes apple snobs the S3 is better.
