Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 (Unlocked)
The Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 is a bestselling 2012 smartphone that received positive reviews for its colorful screen, lightweight design, decent battery life, ample internal storage and new, lower price tag. Unfortunately, the design isn’t stylish or robust compared to other similarly priced handsets from HTC. Its aging Quad-Core processor doesn’t match up to modern Dual-Core processors and it hasn’t received the latest KitKat update as of yet. All in all, at the current price the S3 i9300 is still an attractive option and for everyday use as it is equally as capable as other budget smartphones.

There's no doubting the Samsung Galaxy S3 is technologically the top dog at the moment. It's screen is dazzling, its processor incredibly fast and its battery life is better than most. Add in extras such as a microSD slot, NFC and wireless charging and you have a phone that no other can match.

A much lower price tag has helped the Galaxy S3 remain an attractive proposition, but with an older OS and slightly aging features there's now better budget options out there

. Altogether, Samsung undeniably delivers the new smartphone leader powered by Android OS with the Galaxy S3. It does many things right but also has a few shortcomings. Evolution rather than revolution.
