Samsung said it had pre-orders of over 9 mil l ion units for the Galaxy S3 before its official launch. In its first days, over 20 million units had sold. Ultimately, the S3 is reported to have sold a total of 70 million units.
Sales of the Galaxy S3 eventually blew away those of the first two phones in the Samsung Galaxy S series. Samsung not only created a great phone, but it also had an excellent marketing campaign for the handset. That campaign was led in the U. It showed Apple fans waiting as long as 13 hours in line to get the latest iPhone at Apple stores remember when that was a thing? However, Galaxy S3 owners kept showing up at these stores, bragging about its larger 4.
The commercial also showed off the media sharing capabilities of the S3. The Galaxy S3 was added to that ongoing lawsuit later in Displaying of 12 reviews. Worth your money, any day! It's really fast at carrying out every task. There are little-to-no interruptions when performance matters.
It can handle heavy games without any lags. The call quality is just amazing. The size of phone is not friendly for one hand user like me. Battery capability is good, but it can get hot during usage, that? Is this review helpful?
Simply The Best. It really is the best I always hated Samsung phones because same as the apple they also over price their products. I never liked a Samsung phone before Galaxy S3. I always new Andriod OS is capable of lot of things we could imagine and the first phone I got my hands which could utilize andriod power was Galaxy S3.
Its like feather, so beautiful. With great performance and amoled display with a screen resolution of x Its 1. I take pictures a lot and the 8MP camera in this phone is just awesome. As every samsung product, this is also overpriced at the time of its release and even now at 23, I still feel it is overpriced because you could get a better phone The Motorola Moto X at this price which beats Galaxy S3 in every spec we could talk about and also Moto X has voice processor and context processor too.
Its been with me for one and a half years! Still I'm in love with it! I have been using SGS3 for about one and a half year. And Still i'm in love with it like the time i got it. There are many reasons for it. The specs were the top notch when I got my phone. I chose my S3. There was htc one x and xperia z I guess at that time. I bought it for 34k yeah its now 22k, Samsung does this, But I have no regret.
As I said, I have been using s3 for a long time, it has gone through a hell lot of abuse from my side both hardware and software. It has dropped several times from my hand. Look how nice and neat the older GS II's red, green and blue sub-pixels are: they come in tightly-bunched trios i. The newer GS III, however, is meant to have three times the resolution of its predecessor, but if you count up its sub-pixels you'll see that it has nothing like that numerical advantage.
Its sub-pixels are awkwardly spaced out in a PenTile matrix, just like the first Galaxy S. When you zoom back out to a normal viewing distance, that arrangement of sub-pixels generally results in grainier or fuzzier images.
Should the world bang on Samsung's doors and demand a dpi letter of apology? Having a 4. Compared to the PenTile display on a Lumia for example, which is both smaller and has a lower resolution, the GS III was infinitely nicer to look at, to the point where the word "PenTile" was totally forgotten after a couple of days of acclimatization. We'd only advise caution if you're an avid e-book consumer and you're extremely fussy about your text looking like it would on a printed page — in that case you may well prefer the HTC One X's Super LCD2 alternative.
In the meantime, the world can save the door-banging for the GS IV. Raw speed. That's what the GS III brings to the photographic table, and it's one of the most practical benefits of its powerful quad-core engine.
We pulled off six frames per second with full 8-megapixel resolution by holding down the shutter button while in burst mode, which was slightly more than the HTC One X and totally sufficient for getting a nice smile out of shy subjects. In Single Shot mode, there was virtually no shutter lag, which greatly assisted shots of moving targets: what you see when you tap the screen is exactly what will appear in your gallery afterwards.
There is probably a slight delay, but it's so small that it's imperceptible — judging from a non-scientific test, it's less than 0. Overall, the speed and ease-of-use of this camera can change the way you shoot pictures — not simply by filling up your microSD card with more photos than usual, but by encouraging you to push for ever more interesting shots that wouldn't possible on a regular laggy phone. Of course, none of that would make sense without great image quality, and fortunately the GS III is up to scratch in that area too — even though it doesn't show a great deal of progress from earlier Galaxy phones.
In many ways this is good: previous models delivered sharp and colorful images, while earlier iterations of the TouchWiz camera app also offered a high level of manual control, and those qualities have been carried over into the GS III.
This includes the press-and-hold method of taking a photo, which allows you set focus and exposure before re-framing and releasing the shutter to take a shot -- a system that encourages more creative control and which is sorely lacking on the One X. It also includes the ability to set the compression level Normal, Fine or Superfine. With the lowest compression, still photos generally weigh between 2.
There's also a panorama mode for stitching together multiple shots to great one long horizon. Just like HDR, this is mode is extremely fast thanks to the processor. It's quick and easy to pull off little creative tricks.
This means the GS III will generally be worse off in low-light situations, although we still found that it performed admirably, with minimal noise. Also, compared to the excellent camera in the iPhone 4 not 4S , the GS III may overexpose slightly and show less dynamic range -- its images are sharper and have more accurate colors, but at the expense of being less dramatic.
Moving on to video footage and it's clear that once again the snappy processor is living up to its rep: autofocus during video recording was some of the best we've seen in any smartphone. If you need further evidence of just how bleeding-edge the new 1. Shrinking transistors is an expensive, painstaking business that only high-volume companies like Samsung can afford, but for the end user it broadly translates to a capacity for more performance with less battery drain -- yes, that's both at the same time; one of the physical world's rare win-win situations.
The GS III's silicon is a fabricated with a nanometer process, which is significantly smaller than last year's generation of 45nm phones and also smaller than Tegra 3's 40nm process.
Okay, so what is this highfalutin Exynos chip capable of in real-world terms? Let's start with daily operation first: this phone boots up from cold in under 25 seconds and never stalls, never lags and never trips over itself.
Whether you're navigating picture-heavy PDFs in Polaris Office, playing back chunky p clips shot on your DSLR, or simply surfing content-heavy websites, you'll never even think about the processor. The true power of this processor will only materialize as the software becomes available to exploit four-way multi-threading. In the meantime, the only way you're going to test this phone is if you get the chance to do crazy things like running tough augmented reality apps something we'd like to do in future, in order to test the graphical component of the Exynos , or a dual OS , or playing Skyrim , or if you run benchmarks.
Which brings us smoothly on to those slightly less subjective arbiters of performance. Launches in Asia, the Middle East and Africa will follow.
