Advantages Very pretty, very functional, decent battery life, user friendly.
Disadvantages voice and face recognition + sleep functions not all they were hyped up to be.

How I met my Smart Phone Once upon a time, I made a terrible mistake. I put a phone contract under my name for a boyfriend who turned out to be a compulsive liar and bill dodger. As such I ended up doing the sensible thing and dragged myself kicking and screaming into the 21st century by deciding to take the phone back. Prior to this I was happy to have one of my little clunky text and calls only deals with a tiny screen and a limited range for ring tones. I detested the idea of the internet on my person at all times. When I took the phone, despite its downfalls, it made me realise that I ... more

Advantages User friendly, great range of features, internet, apps, good camera, large screen
Disadvantages Touch screen attracts fingerprints, expensive at full price, battery life not great

Smartphones are not really new anymore, but I'm the kind of person who tends to be lagging behind everyone when it comes to technology. Recently, however, my husband had the opportunity to add my phone number to his account, and as part of the deal we both had a decent tariff with a free phone. The phone in question is this Samsung Galaxy SIII, which has quite frankly, revolutionised my opinion of mobile phones. Design I had a choice over the colour of my phone, and I opted for the graphite blue rather than white. My decision was based entirely on the thinking that the white one would get ... more

User recommends the product

Advantages Large screen, lightweight and thin, easy to use, brilliant range of functions
Disadvantages None - this is a five star product

When I was due an upgrade on my phone contract a couple of months ago there was no doubt in my mind what phone I was going to get. I had been using the Samsung Galaxy S for the past 2 years and loved it. Despite owning an Apple iPod Touch and an iPad, the iPhone doesn't particularly interest me - I far prefer the Android operating system for Smart Phones. Add in my love of Samsung phones and it won't surprise that I was only ever going to get a Samsung Galaxy S3. The S3 is, like its two predecessors, a smartphone which means you can use it to surf the internet, take pictures and shoot video ... more

Samsung Galaxy S3 Review 02/04/2013

User recommends the product

Advantages Everything Else, great range of features
Disadvantages Battery life, Plastic

Packaging and Accessories My Samsung Galaxy S3 is the black variant which i bought online. When i received the phone it was delivered to me in a large bag with the branding on the bag. When i opened the bag it had a smaller Cardboard box inside again with branding on the box. Inside the cardboard box was another Box which was the official Samsung box that contained the phone. Also inside the cardboard box was the Sim Card and other information. At first i was concerned because the phone box was not packed with anything around it and i was worried that the phone could have been damaged when ... more

My best phone yet.

Advantages Large screen of good quality, Easier to use than it looks, Easy to get new apps.
Disadvantages Phone is much bigger compared to other phones.

I recently upgraded my phone to a Samsung Galaxy SIII (S3), this phone is a lot bigger than my last one, how-ever I wanted something that was going to be reliable. My old phone was heavy although it was small and the graphics were always pixelated on it. The battery had to be charged every single day and I had it repaired 3-4 times over the 2 years of having it, this was a fault and not something I had done with the phone itself. I have had many Samsung phones in the past and have always been very pleased with the quality of them and the life of the battery. I often check my e-mails on my ... more

Much better than iphone.... but also has downsides! 18/07/2012

User recommends the product

Advantages good camera, easy to use, amazing apps, great screen size, lightweight
Disadvantages awful battery life and screen clarity in the sun

So after enjoying 2 years contract with my service with my iPhone 4, when my upgrade was due I decided to throw caution into the wind and try something completely new and switch to android. Don't get me wrong I absolutely LOVED my iPhone and it wasn't a commitment I thought about so easily! My upgrade was due for about a month when I finally decided to go with what was most popular and newly released on the market - this Samsung Galaxy S III. I am not a whizz on all technological stuff so I am going to try and keep this review basic for everyone to understand and grasp the main features about ... more

One for the gamers, movie fans and book fiends alike!! 17/07/2012

User recommends the product

Advantages Great media, browsing and fgaming capabilities as well as being your phone
Disadvantages It's a bit thin - without a case you'll be worried about dropping it

The first time I saw news articles about this phone it piqued my interest. I use my phone all the time, not often to browse the internet or facebook or anything like that – I play games, listen to music and use the kindle app on my android phone a lot!! So when I saw that a phone was coming out that looked to be on a par if not better than an iphone and with the now familiar android operating system to boot I wanted it then and there. My previous phone was a little Sony Ericcson x10 mini pro with a pop out keyboard and when I first got my hands on the Galaxy S3 I must admit I was surprised by ... more

Samsung show the way to lead the mobile world 01/10/2012

User recommends the product

Advantages Powerful, looks great, huge range of functions
Disadvantages No infra-red and limited "Pop out play" features

A few months ago Vodafone called me telling me I was able to upgrade my phone and after some haggling I managed to take a massive upgrade from a HTC Wildfire to the then recently released Samsung Galaxy S3. Not only had I been offered a very delightful deal in terms of monthly payment but I was also being offered the phone with no up front fee and thought that the phone, at least on paper seemed to be a bargain, especially when I was being offered other, lesser specced phones (iPhone 4S being the notable one) at a higher monthly price and with an up front price. The day after making my order ... more
