The screen makes it easier to watch videos and do everything you love. It comes is a variety of colours which include marble white, garnet red, and pebble blue. The battery last a long time and with the 2G phone, talk time can be up to 21 hours without having to recharge it. With the 3G phone, one can talk for 11 hours without needing to charge the phone.


S-Voice is a creative new feature, which allows users to control their phone through a voice recognition systems. Now, Samsung Galaxy S3 GT can ask their phone pertinent questions.


The best part is that the phone tracks your eyes, which means that the phone won't dim or turn off while you are looking at it. This is an excellent new user friendly feature.


One of the top features is direct call. No longer do users need to hit the call button. They can hold the device to their face and the number will be automatically dialed.


Smart Alert is another excellent featureon the Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 16GB. This 8MP camera comes with a 20 shot burst mode, which helps to deliver the best photo.


Another highlight of the Samsung Galaxy S GT is Face Zoom and Slide Show. Simply double tap the face to zoom and the automatic slide show will begin.


For those who enjoy social networking, you will love the camera integration. With this camera, pictures can be tagged automatically. Furthermore, there is the ability to send images to people who are in the photos. This app is called Buddy Photo Share. Finally, groups tag allows users to tag multiple people at once.


With this phone, you will get S-Beam which allows files to be transferred at high speeds. File transfer can be completed with NFC or WiFi Direct. All Share Play and Cast allows users to share what is on their phone to a television and use their phone as a remote.

better than your average free phone.

got the phone in November an sale for $50. I still feel like I got ripped off. All I got was an entry level phone with a very large screen. for a so-called high end phone you get a camera that is comparable to the flagship phone's of 2009, in a cheaply built phone.
Pros:
  • the front half is built strong
  • better than average battery
  • gorilla glass
Cons:
  • can't turn off camera sound effects, cheap built on the back half of the phone, volume and power button push to easily
  • prop the phone up on its side for a video and the phone own weight will mute or power down the phone, BSI sensors for camera are cheap.

A mix of emotions (get the one x!)

I bought this phone after extensive research, and loved it. Until the screen protector came off for a cleaning. At first I thought I was seeing things but there was actual pixelation on the screen. Especially for red and white images.
Pros:
  • speed
Cons:
  • screen and material

Great Purchase

I purchased the phone to use with Straight talk service, and it works great. I all application works exactly the same, and the speed is the same as Verizon. I do have 3G services, and love the face time the phone has to offer. I would recommend getting this phone.

Bad luck for me

I bought the phone for 2 weeks and found autofocus of the camera didn't work. Sent it back to shop for repair. And I was told to wait for 3 weeks to get the phone back. Even let me to wait after S4 release.

What an upgrade !

I upgraded from being a BlackBerry Bold 9900 fan to the Samsung Galaxy S3. At first I was a bit worried but as soon as I turned it on & the big screen lit up with the graphics I knew this was a cut above my poor old tiny screened 9900.

Samsung Galaxy S III (Cricket Wireless) Review

The Samsung Galaxy S III is still one of the world's best smartphones, and available from Cricket Wireless at an unusually low price. The world's top Android smartphone is now available at a very low price without a contract. Cricket Wireless's innovation with its Galaxy S III phone isn't in technology—this is the same Galaxy S III that millions of people around the world love—but in its price. At $379.99 when it's on sale, Cricket's Galaxy S III beats other no-contract deals by more than a hundred bucks. That's enough to earn it our Editors' Choice award for smartphones on Cricket. Differences on CricketBy now, the Galaxy S III is a well-trodden road, and Cricket's unit is physically identical to MetroPCS's model. Read our review of the MetroPCS device to learn more.  The software build is a bit different, featuring some persistent Cricket bloatware, but that shouldn't be enough to dissuade you. Cricket left Samsung's Game Hub, Media Hub, S Memo, S Suggest, and Samsung Apps stores intact. It added an account manager and some dumb redundant storefront and "mobile browser" links. But as I said, it's not a big dea...
Pros:
  • Excellent screen
  • Fast processor
  • High-quality camera
  • Will get more features as time goes on
Cons:
  • Android 4.1 not yet available at time of review
  • Cricket's 4G coverage is very limited
