I'm not one to get the latest-and-greatest of any device, so my upgrade from a Samsung Victory phone was goaded only by my need to get enough internal storage so that I could accumulate more than a couple dozen apps without having to start truncating some (or rooting the phone.) This phone has more than served that purpose. Besides having a somewhat bigger display, helping readability, its other physical features are well placed and fairly logical. I can usually milk out 8-12 hours on a single charge, though, of course, it depends on usage; since, when I am away from home, the local 4G coverage works better than most of the "hotspots" provided by the establishments I shop at, my wi-fi is often shut off. However, my biggest daily use of the phone is usually listening to podcasts, so it does get a lot of playtime. It is probably a little more bulky than some, but it easily fits my pockets, even with a protective case, so I am satisfied. One curious thing that I have noticed recently that I find I have to be very careful in picking charging devices; I have several wall and car chargers, some with permanently installed cords and others with USB connections,and while they all seem to work well with my other phones and tablets, only a few seem to work with this phone. I don't know if one of its pins has been damaged in its jack, or if some cords are wired a little differently, but this been a little frustrating, presumably charging the phone, and finding it dead the next morning. I have no idea if this is at all common. All in all, it the best phone I've ever own, which is not saying much since, when I needed a replacement, I used to buy whatever VM phone was on sale over at Radio Shack.Read full review
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
After having my phone stolen from my workplace, I needed a replacement and didn't have the money to spend on a new one. I will never switch from a Galaxy because they are awesome and never let me down. So, I found a refurbished Galaxy S3. It's a decent enough phone. Sometimes I can tell that it is lagging and running slowly, but never enough to truly annoy me. And, the speaker sounds terrible. You can tell it is probably about to blow. But overall, I'm not dissatisfied. This is a refurbished phone after all. And it does the job.

Love the screen crispness and size. love the feel of the phone in my hand- weight is good/ size is good. features are fun and great with access to google play. battery life is almost dead by the time i get home from work-so i have a back up battery/charge with me always. great for price-a lot of storage to actually be able to download applications. last few VM phones had barely any internal memory.
Im still tinkering with it.. just yesterday i turned off a few things like sync.. and i just rooted it so i can delete apps i dont use.. maybe this will help.. but the first few times i used it the battery life was horrible.. maybe the battery itself is old.. still a cool phone though for the price.. will update review if things change..

This phone offers many features that are simply amazing,I am still tinkering around with the phone and can't seem to put it down. The battery life is good but not great, like most smartphones, just about everything drains the battery. Once I adjusted brightness, location services, and a darker background I noticed it drained much slower. The price is still a bit high considering the Samsung Galaxy S 4 has been out for about 6 months, and the Samsung Galaxy S 5 is due out in January.
