Reviews around size (4.21 of 5)

  • And the size is perfect, big screen and its really thin and light
  • 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
  • Its zippy, has a beautiful screen and is a perfect size
  • The SIII is also an unusually large phone, but it is intended to be a content consumption device, although its size may be a deterrent for some
  • If you're looking for a good phone with a decent screen size i would recommend the s3

Reviews around feature (4.20 of 5)

  • There are some cool features, but I don't love this phone

Reviews around price (4.05 of 5)

  • But the phone's upsides intrigued me as well as a great price through Staples of $99.
  • So this was a great replacement and was cost effective by not having to go to the cell phone store for the same phone at an outrageous price.
  • The price was insanely cheap, and much lower than at verizon wireless
  • I would recommend this to any Verizon Wireless user looking for a great smartphone at a great price
  • great phone, loved the price i got for it at Amazon, extremely out beat the cell carriers out there!!!!

Reviews around card error (2.18 of 5)

  • 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.
  • 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...
  • Web browsing is not even nearly as smooth as with new generation WP8 devices I've used
  • but like many other folks I suffer from a terrible "No Sim Card error" when I try to make phone calls in 4G areas.
  • 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 verizon (2.11 of 5)

  • If you really want this phone don't get the Verizon version you will regret
  • Verizon claims Samsung is working on a update since it's a new phone, and with new phones, bugs are common
  • IF YOU ENJOY FREEDOM OF CHOICE THEN BUY FROM ANY OTHER CARRIER..give us freedom verizon
  • At the same time and place, I had no problem placing and receiving calls on two inexpensive Verizon cell phones.
  • ok phone, but Verizon prepaid is terrible to get any customer service rep on the phone to help get it hooked

Reviews around voice (1.44 of 5)

  • 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!!
  • The voice-to-text input isn't bad but there are some odd mistakes from time to time
  • S-voice is hard to get to work and doesn't recognize most of what I ask for
  • Very dependable, fast, takes excellent photos, clear voice quality, tons of available apps, works seamlessly with Google, etc.
  • 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
