GALAXY S III
Samsung galaxy s3 is the smartphone that started revolutions showing that speed do matter in case of smartphones.
Though, due to technical glitches, it couldnt deliver well,it succeeded in delivering that message to user community that performance do matter.
Samsung galaxy s3 is the record breaking seller in samsung smartphones till date.
This smartphone got many bugs spotted and everything was fixed with the release of v4.1.2 jellybean firmware.
The bugs that were fixed are sudden death issue which caused a smartphone to fall into a never ending sleep.
This was the ICS bug that hit the smartphone and samsung responded well by making jellybean 4.1.2 available ahead of schedule via OTA to fix this problem.
Samsung galaxy s3 was attractive as it gave the users almost all freedom to use it. The quad core cortex A-9 did the job well.

Disadvantages
1. PenTile Display, 233 ppi only
PenTile is certainly not the best display type. Even though
Samsung Galaxy S3 uses this display with less ppi (233 ppi) SGS S3 Mini will certainly not look impressive.
2. No 8 MP camera, no Full HD 1080p video recording
From a mid-high range smartphone you can expect full HD video
recording. Rear camera is turned down to 5 MP. This is poor, no doubt
about that.
3. No dedicated camera key
It’s always a nice feeling to have a dedicated camera key. Now most
high end smartphones equip a dedicated camera key. Smartphone camera is
used for anytime, anywhere shooting. It lacks in this segment.
4. WVGA Display resolution, no HD 720p display
Though
Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini is priced high it
lacks HD 720p display. It supports WVGA 480×800 pixels resolution like
other mid range smartphones. It’s not something to cheer for!
