Samsung Galaxy S3

former_student

Hi All,

I'm thinking of purchasing the above phone, however I seen it in a shop recently and it looked massive, are there different sizes of this phone?

Finally the best price I can find is £420, is that a good price?

Thanks again.

The S3 mini is one size the S3 mini is a smaller size and the Galaxy Premier is inbetween the two sizes.

Think it more as a very powerful hi-tech tablet.
The phone part is not very good

OH has an S3 and loves it. Uses it in preference to her netbook.
Phone is perfectly adequate. She is not at all technically minded and has no trouble contacting people with it. Like all modern mobiles though, it needs recharging daily and the camera in it is limited by the quality of the very small optics.
Adequate for facebook style pictures, but the (lack of) quality shows if you view a picture on a full size monitor.

I have an S3 and love it :T . Contrary to the above, I find that (depending on use) my battery charge can last 3 days But then I'm not a techie or a teen and don't spend all my time on my phone. I use it both for business and personal use, accessing the net when I need to. I also don't have any unnecessary apps or games on my phone, which all helps to conserve battery life. I find it very easy to use and navigate.

It is a large phone, but a lot smaller than a note and I've never had a problem with the size. TBH I like it a bit bigger cause then I know where it is in my pocket and can find it easily when I have to rummage around in my handbag for it (and I have lots of stuff in there:rotfl:)

Definately get a case for it though, cause otherwise it's like a slippery eel trying to get away from you all the time!

Pricewise - Amazon and Asda (white only at the moment) have it at 399.00. Buy direct from Amazon their prices fluctuate between 399 and 409 - check every day and at different times of the day. I have seen their prices change twice in a day sometimes.

What are the sizes of the 3 versions of this phone? E.g. regular, mini and premiere.

Mini and Premier dual core, S3 quad
Mini 5mp camera Premier and S3 8mp
I'm sure there other variances like storage etc

DUTR makes a good point about specifications but maybe does not go far enough as really they're different phones in terms of power and not just different sizes.

Of course whether you'll be bothered by the difference in power is another matter!

I have an S3 the full size one, and I love it. Yes its big, but IMO thats one of its best features. Its small enough to use as a phone, but big enough to view full websites with ease.
