This review is from: Samsung Galaxy S III 4G Android Phone, White 16GB (Sprint) (Wireless Phone)
Amazon guarantees free 2 day shipping, but I got it in a day (a MAJOR plus). I got the phone and it was in perfect condition. It does not come with a micro SD card (I forgot to read the fine print), but it does come with earphones. The only downside to the product is that the battery life is ridiculously bad. I lost 10% with mobile data on (no apps running and nothing being downloaded) in 20 minutes. A car charger and extra batteries are probably going to be necessary. Other than that, this phone runs really smoothly and its interface is amazing! I switched over from an HTC Evo (the first one that came out) and I hated the phone with a burning passion. My Evo was slow, heavy, bulky, and frustrating. This phone runs really fast, is super light (I mean like a feather), and is really slim. There are comparisons between the plastic back of the S3 and the nice smooth feel of the iPhone 4S and 5. Honestly, to me, the S3 doesn’t feel cheap. It’s smooth and shiny. If no one ever pointed out the pastic backing, I wouldn’t have even noticed it. Because it’s so slim and light, I feel like I can snap it in two, but this thing seems pretty study. I love it so far!
Edit: I’ve been using this phone for 2 months now and the batter lasts me throughout the whole day. However, I do turn off my mobile data and WiFi when I don’t use it. On my average day, the battery is great. On a day where I’m really active with my phone, I bring an extra one along just in case.

I Bought The S3 with a new Verizon contract. 1st it was $50.00 cheaper to buy on Amazon than any retail store or Verizon store. the rest of my family got the Iphone S4 which just by looks alone I made the right decision and I am so happy with the size and weight I love the apps.(hubby thought so too) I love that the S3 has incredible camera and video 1080hp. I love the accessories on amazon store so much cheaper than Apple. Samsung has video clips on playshare to help learn how to use the phone ♥

This phone is amazing compared to my old EVO 4G (the first evo). There is just one thing I never saw mentioned in any of the reviews or videos for this phone. If you’re using OS X, you will need to install additional software to transfer files to this phone. It’s a program called Android File Transfer. You will find the program at android.com/filetransfer or just google search Android File Transfer and it will be the first link at the top.
This program just opens a window that you drag and drop files to. Nothing complicated, but normal keyboard shortcuts seem to not work with this program. Copy and paste keyboard shortcuts do not work like usual, and I wasn’t able to figure out what keys they have assigned to it if any. Delete is just “cmd + delete”.
Also if you do have a file you’re trying to copy and paste there is no option when you right click (control click) to paste it. You need to drag and drop files into the window. When you right click (control click), your only options are “new folder”, and “delete”.
