Samsung Galaxy S3 Review: Still Good As Always

One of the top selling Android handsets of last year was the Samsung Galaxy S3; even the arrival of the Apple iPhone 5 couldn’t knock the handset from the pedestal in 2012. Both devices have been out for some time. But now with the Samsung Galaxy S4 in stores, is the S3 still a good buy? Let’s check it out.

The Samsung Galaxy S3 has great media management, a powerful chipset and removable battery. On the downside is the fact that the battery drains fast and Samsung designed its exterior in cheap-looking plastic. The Apple iPhone 5 along with the Nokia Lumia 920, and virtually all other Android devices, outclass the Samsung Galaxy S3 in terms of looks. Other handsets also beat it in different areas too. The Nokia Lumia 920 along with the Apple iPhone 5 have better cameras. For superb battery life there is the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD. The HTC One has better looks and the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is bigger and is packed with more features.

So if you are not after the latest and are considering the Samsung Galaxy S3, you need to be aware of other similar aged devices. Now let’s take a look at what the top tech experts said about the Galaxy S3. We highlighted the points that are relevant until today.

Consumer Reviews thought the display was great when they played with the Samsung Galaxy S3. They noted how well integrated it was and that the UI was sophisticated on the Samsung Galaxy S3. If it wasn’t due to the fact of the large display, they said that they would stick with Apple. So screen size matter and a 4.8-inch display is still considered big today.

CNET said that if you wanted a phone that was powerful then the Samsung Galaxy S3 would be perfect. They also noted the 3D gaming, HD video streaming and the full websites instead of mobile version being able to comfortably fit in the display..

T3 said that fans of Android would love the Samsung Galaxy S. The Samsung Galaxy S3 came out tops for innovation and features. The downside was that you needed large hands to handle the handset one handed.

So as you can see, most of its advantages still apply today despite the Samsung Galaxy S4.
