Feature Phone but would have been better

First time coming to Samsung Phone from my Other brand Android Phone. First of with all the Pros, Its Light weight, Colorful, Fast with all great features for a next gen smartphone. Of all Phones i had this one has best Voice Quality. Display is one of great feature with Brighter colors.
Great Plus are replaceable Battery and add Micro SD card. Though it has all advance features, the quality of material is looks cheap especially the back cover of Phone. Also they advertise it as Gorilla Glass 2 but it gets crack easily and the display has finger prints on usage. Camera is 8MP but the picture quality is great in Sun light still images only. No image stabilization and not good at medium or low light and still not a replacement for normal point and shoot camera. It has huge battery capacity so i would expect at least 2 days between charges but have to charge everyday. If they remove lots of bloatwares, it would get expected Battery life. Build in HDMI would have been great instead of MHL which we need to buy it.

S2 to s3
on February 24, 2013

I rarely go out of my way to review a product, but I couldn't resist.
My dad got an S3 before me and I was a little jealous but I loved my S2. I was reluctant to go to the S3 because I wanted to either get the Note II or wait for the S4. Unfortunately, yet Fortunately, I did something dumb with my S2 and this was the replacement. The 4GLTE on the S3 is faster than the 4G on the S2. The reception on the phone is better. I can see a huge difference at work where I went from 56 K speeds to speeds I see ethernet plugged into my home network.

The phone is fast. The options are awesome. Voice recognition is much better. I was upset I had to go through hoops to get Flash working on it but that's Adobe's fault.
Battery life? I would leave after 8 hours of work on the S2 and be at 30% or lower battery with the same usage pattern. With this phone I leave work after 2 hours of overtime and I still have 70% battery!
I've been home tonight for 4 hours already. I watched the entire Grizzlies vs Nets game and am into the 2nd quarter of the Bulls vs Thunder game and just hit 5% battery which is when the screen finally dims. 6-1/2 quarters of basketball plus I watched video of Lakers games for 30 minutes at lunch and made phone calls and sent text and surfed the web because the video highlights were in a pop out window! 8 am to 10:20 pm and 4 straight hours of usage! I didn't think I would write that much praise about the battery..

I didn't think I would write that much praise about the battery..
The screen is beautiful even with no vibrancy option like with the S2 w/ Jellybean and the Note 2. This phone is better than the S2 in every possible facet including sharing with my Samsung HDTV with Allshare and with my laptop, my wife's S2, and other gadgets around the house.
The headphones that come with it are great too, I've wasted my fair share of money searching for a good pair of earbud headphones and then these unexpectedly come in the box. Love the bass and overall sound quality.
Fortunately, this gem didn't affect my upgrade date. I can't wait for the s4!

Best Android Phone as of today

I'm satisfied with every feature and aspect of this phone except for it's performance when it comes to games. I thought this would if not beat competitor's phones, atleast equal the performance, give the kind of hardware specs it has. But some where some thing is not right that does not let the phone run some real cool android games that smooth. I really like the TouchWiz, all the features that Samsung has implemented over Android, that make using the phone way easier and efficient than the stock Android phone or any other Android phone in the market.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: performance with games
I would recommend this to a friend!

Galaxy S 3

Great phone, easy to use and a ton of features. My only complaint is that I have large hands and texting is difficult; however, this is where the voice to text works so well, I just speak on what I want to text and it does a great job in understanding my voice and changing it to text.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best phone I've ever had

Samsung Galazy SIII is a great phone that can do anything you want it to and allows you the freedom to choose how you want to do it unlike that other company. It can do it all and I rarely put it down. Unfortunately my battery is always low because of it. I always say "YOU CANT GO WRONG IF YOU CHOOSE SAMSUNG." If that slogan ever gets used I should get a check.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: battery not powerful enough
I would recommend this to a friend!
