BEST PHONE EVER!!!!
13 years ago
So I have had my phone for about a month now so I can give a full honest review.
Before my Samsung, I had the iPhone. The iPhone was cool and all and I always thought I would be a user. However, I just got plain sick of apple. Each new product is, "We gave it a better camera!!" Umm...woop-de-doo?
The Saumsung intrigued me after looking online and seeing commericals. My iPhone started to give out, so I decided to upgrade and go for the Galaxy S3.
This is the greatest phone I have ever owned. You can customize EVERYTHING. I mean, everything! It just makes your phone the way YOU want it.
I cannot believe how fast this phone is. Even just going to a different screen, it is so quick!
And I love, love, love how quick the phone takes pictures! There was always lag with the iPhone, but this, you tap it and sometimes I don't even realize it took a picture because it was THAT quick. Picture quality is outstanding. The flash is so bright, its almost blinding, but its perfect!
The ONLY bad thing about this phone is battery life. Its about the same as iPhone which isn't great. I bought a car charger and I am going to buy an extra charger to keep at work because I always have to charge. I am a very heavy user though so its not hard for me to blitz through a battery.
But seriously, this phone blows the iPhone out of the water. I LOVE it! I keep telling everyone how cool my phone is and making everyone jealous ;)

slow like my old 3GS
13 years ago
Got this one brand new after over two years off contract with my iPhone 3GS.
I was not going to get another iPhone so I went for the GS3 hoping it will live up to it's hype but is really disappointed.
The camera lags and internet is slow and so are the apps like FB.
I'm not sure if it is because it's still running the ice cream sandwich rather than the jelly bean update or if it is just because of the phone itself.
I wish I have gone to the HTC One X+.

Q: How fragile is the glass screen on the Galaxy SIII? Realistically what kind of battery life should I expect with normal use? I've read a lot of reviews that talk about the screens breaking when being dropped from short distances on things like carpet and grass. I was really considering buying this phone until I read those reviews. Other reviews talk about terrible battery life. If I'm using the phone for talking and moderate web surfing what's a realistic time to expect to have to recharge the phone?
12 years ago1 Answer
- A: Depends on the conditions of use. In some cases, a fall from purse or pant pocket might be okay. However, a friend of mine had a bad experience with it. His 2 month old phone was on the kitchen island and the dog knocked it to the floor. That created a crack all the way from top to bottom on the screen.12 years agoHelpful?
Q: How can I get save on battery energy usage during the day? I need to know why my Galaxy III is using so much energy from the battery even when my screen is off. How can I save more energy on my battery.

Q: can I use my currently purchased iphone apps on this phone? how do I get my itunes music and apps to work with this phone?
13 years ago1 Answer
- A: Thanks for your question! The iPhone uses the Apple Operating System (iOS) and the Samsung Galaxy S3 uses the Android operating system. There may be applications you have on your iPhone that are also available for use on Android devices, but it would require you to download it again. The Galaxy will not be able to sync with your iTunes, however. Here is the link to the user manual for the Galaxy S3 from the Samsung USA website: http://bit.ly/ZTlONB . This will give you more information on how files are moved to the device. Thank you, AT&T Customer Care.13 years agoHelpful?
