Reviews around feature (4.20 of 5)

  • Adding new technologies like touch screens for new versions do no rectify the main bad features of the phone
  • There are some cool features, but I don't love this phone
  • I will say that certain features on this phone are not very user friendly, but once you get used to them it is an excellent device.
  • Wish the battery lasted longer without having to disable the GPS and some other features to keep it going longer
  • Google wallet lets you pay for things with your cell phone (Just swipe your phone across the pad like a credit card) a major feature one of the reasons I bought the phone

Reviews around picture (4.18 of 5)

  • If the battery life was better this would be an app users go to phone.*Side note - I do love a phone that takes good pictures and Samsung S3 does this really well and fast.
  • It looks great, it takes good pictures and it does "the job".
  • I have some instances where my pictures turn out blurry or
  • The camera takes pretty good pictures from both front and back.
  • Still, my standalone point and shoot, a Fuji E550 takes better pictures, but I didn't buy the phone for that.

Reviews around galaxy (4.16 of 5)

  • I love my Samsung Galaxy S3 and so did my daughter... until she dropped hers and the screen went black.
  • If you're considering an Android on the Verizon network, I highly recommend the Galaxy S3.
  • I am really enjoying the Galaxy S3, the screen is beautiful and the phone is light and thin
  • As much as I dislike the iphone brand, i cannot deny that those device do NONE of these bizarre problems, and that the Galaxy S3, while full of potential, is a dysfunctional, glitchy mess, at least the verizon model anyway
  • I also have issues with poor 3g and 4g signals much worse than my old Samsung Charge

Reviews around price (4.05 of 5)

  • All these annoyances are the price I pay for a nicer size and being able to customize my phone (ie, being free of iTunes), which is a nice way of saying that you have to spend a lot of time teaching it how to do things that the iPhone does automatically.
  • Still a dated but good work/utility phone and many can be found in great shape at a good price
  • Bought this for the teenager and she loves it the price was great and easy to set up to our network
  • great phone, loved the price i got for it at Amazon, extremely out beat the cell carriers out there!!!!
  • I would recommend this to any Verizon Wireless user looking for a great smartphone at a great price

Reviews around card error (2.18 of 5)

  • but like many other folks I suffer from a terrible "No Sim Card error" when I try to make phone calls in 4G areas.
  • Bought this phone for work purposes, and it gives me a no sim card error right away and it's blocking me from using the phone, so this is nothing more than a $600 paper weight at this point...
  • * Verizon rolled out an update today September 17, 2012 that fixes the sim card error reported in some of the reviews here.
  • Web browsing is not even nearly as smooth as with new generation WP8 devices I've used
  • Tap into the Google Play store to load your favorite apps, and the SIII feels and functions as good as or better than any desktop or laptop I have ever had.

Reviews around company (2.09 of 5)

  • Apple is clearly the most greedy company in the world but Verizon is up there too!
  • My company was charging double for the phone I wanted and I refused to pay that amount
  • Wondering about the Extended Battery life when in use and when not in use, like how long does it "stay" charged before used, as well as how long is it's life.
  • And with newer phones carrying a lot of unnecessary specs n power, this is most suited for daily usage

Reviews around version (1.87 of 5)

  • Verizon is the only carrier in the world who locked this phone, Verizon has also made it so non-Verizon approved software wont work on there version of the S3 so no Google wallet for you
  • older version so Google CHROME is not available, unable to GPS for G Map.... too many little issues to list
  • i ordered the samsung galaxy s 3 and i love it, it far exceeded my expectations.

Reviews around voice (1.44 of 5)

  • Very dependable, fast, takes excellent photos, clear voice quality, tons of available apps, works seamlessly with Google, etc.
  • Multitasking is superb as well; you can call and search the web or listen to your navigation while ur on the phone...ridiculous!Voice Interface: I'd estimate like a 96-98% accuracy of the Google voice search (which is EXTREMELY high and crushes "siri" any day)
  • The voice-to-text input isn't bad but there are some odd mistakes from time to time
  • Verizon needs to improve its signal, and Samsung needs to fix the two main issues it hyped the phone on: S-voice and Smart Stay!!
  • Dim screen makes outdoors use a little painful* Ugly and slow OS skin, gimmicky Samsung apps including S voice, massive amount of bloatware, annoying Verizon customizations like persistent wifi

Reviews around money (1.00 of 5)

  • If the description said this phone won't charge, but here, buy it anyway, waste your money, that would have been an honest description.
  • They'd rather waste money and time than admit that their phones are incompatable with some of their towers.
