Intuitive, stylish and simple to use, the Samsung Galaxy S III smartphone delivers a personalized, seamless mobile experience that helps your day run smoothly—whether it's time for work, family or play.

  • newegg Share Back-to-Back If sharing is your thing, the Samsung Galaxy S III is your phone. With S Beam, you can share large HD files in seconds – just touch compatible devices back-to-back. S Beam takes full advantage of NFC (Near-Field Communication) and Wi-Fi Direct technology, making it quick and easy for you to share photos, videos, documents, calendars, contacts and more. And you don’t even need Wi-Fi or a cellular signal.
  • newegg Share Big As much as you like a crowd huddled around admiring your new phone, it won’t be necessary with AllShare Play. Because now, you can play your music, videos and slide shows on any compatible HDTV or computer for all to see. Go big.
  • newegg Share Photos Instantly Share Shot lets you share your photos with up to five friends – as you take them. What does this mean? You don’t have to remember to share later; just share on the spot and forget it. Sharing has never been so much fun, so fast or so hassle-free.
  • newegg Gesture Smarter The Galaxy S III goes beyond swiping and pinching. Special motion gestures let you do things easier and more intuitively than ever before. For example, to capture a screen shot, just swipe your hand across the screen. To get to the top of a list, just tap the top of your phone. Or if your texting someone and want to call them, just put the phone to your ear. It doesn’t get any smarter than that.
  • newegg Speak, and the Galaxy S III will Listen S Voice responds to your every voice command, acting as your on-board personal assistant to give you helpful, accurate information, dial phone numbers, send messages, open apps and more. It will follow your commands and answer your questions quickly and intelligently. You can tell your phone to wake you up, take a photo, answer a call, send a text message or play your favorite song. In fact, thanks to S Voice, you might never talk to real people again.
  • newegg Simplify any Task Samsung TecTiles is the short-hand way to operate your Galaxy S III. Just program your “tiles” to automatically handle repetitive actions, like changing settings or performing certain tasks. After that, all you’ll need is a simple tap of your phone. It can launch apps, connect you to Facebook or Twitter or share a contact with any NFC-enabled phone.

Please read the product description carefully for all unlocked cell phones.

Some unlocked cell phones sold by Newegg may have previously been locked to a specific carrier. A carrier-locked cell phone may often have carrier-specific applications and branding. Some of these applications cannot be unlocked and/or may not function with a different carrier. Also, applications requiring a data plan may result in data usage charges from the original carrier.

In addition, the cell phone box may arrive unsealed and the cell phone may appear previously handled. The unlocking procedure requires unsealing the box and manually handling the cell phone. In this case, the cell phone should not be considered "tampered with" or "defective".

4 out of 5 eggsGalaxy S3 Unlocked.

Pros: Phone came extremely fast, Did not have one scratch on it.(This i feared). Was able to finance the phone through my preferred account and if paid off within a year no interest is due which is extremely good because I am a college student and don't have 500.00 to throw at a phone.
*I had an iPhone before this and i am glad i switched over. Good phone for being productive.
*Has so many features that my iPhone didn't have which are beneficial to me.
Very Nice screen. Camera is extremely clear.
*When you set an alarm it actually tells you how many hours until the alarm will ring.
* Phone is fast and doesn't lag. Used to own a my touch and it would always do that.

Cons: Very big phone. Not a complete con, Just not used to it. Will take time to get used to.

A good case for this phone is expensive. As is with any phone.

Other Thoughts: Over all I really like the phone. The white color is best in my opinion and it is the best phone i ever owned thus far.

2 out of 5 eggsNose Dive

Pros: There are many good things about this phone. To innumerate those many qualities, I would sound like a carnival barker. Suffice to say it does do all that it professes.

Cons: My one and ONLY criticism is that when this bugger dies, It is one dead phone!! The only warning will be it's freezing up to the point that you have to pull the battery to reinitialize it. This is followed by and immediately precedes death when it start its' own random schedule of power cycling. Then as abruptly as the preceding events began, the phone dies. it's done and gone

Other Thoughts: Thank HEAVENS I bought the extended warranty!!! I don't usually do that....BUT, when you spend several hundred dollars so you have the latest greatest? Yeah, the extra bucks turn out to be worth it.

5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: price drop to 399 after the launch of S4
very good price. thanks newegg!!

Cons: Sort of unsealed. According the newegg disclaimer, this should be normal.

Still don't come with North America charger!!! Not the end of the world but not acceptable either.

Other Thoughts: first time Android user after using iphone for 5 years, buying this one as secondary phone.

its hard to hold the phone without accidentally touching all other buttons like menu, backward and volume.

5 out of 5 eggsSamsung Galaxy S3 16GB White 3G Unlocked Android GSM Smart Phone with S Voice / Smart Stay / Direct Call (i9300)

Pros: Received the phone already unlocked. Check for latest software and firmware to avoid "Samsung Galaxy Sudden Death". Everything is up to date. I don't know how long I will break the phone but for now I really love it. Especially the camera speed, I can take pictures very fast so I won't miss any moment of my boys and girls. They all so love it to play game.

Cons: Not yet at this time

Other Thoughts: The size may be big for lady, but perfect for me.

5 out of 5 eggsPhon-Phon

Pros: Works great. T-mobile 4g plans are accepted but the phone can only use HSPA so you're down by only a couple of mbit less. Battery is great on normal use.

Cons: Battery capacity could have been bigger, 2100 mAh is more than enough but if you are gonna use HSPA network speeds then your in trouble because HSPA drains a lot more power than 3g or 2g. I wish there was a setting where I can choose 3g over HSPA.

Other Thoughts: I wish newegg had a case bundle for this. Not just any case but cases that covers up everything protecting the phone from almost every accident. Examples are Bodyglove ShockSuit, Griffin Survivor for S3.

5 out of 5 eggsMislabeled LTE PHONE

Pros: It's a Samsung which is one of the biggest pros. Great screen,great video, PenTile display its amazing, and it's fast.

Cons: Mislabeled as so many 4G/LTE phones are on Newegg. The same reason the display is a pro is the same reason it is a slight con. The PenTile display is amazing but in zoom mode for video,games,text,etc. Its a bit blurry and washed out. Bit bigger than needs be, SGS2 size perfect. Plastic and yet still expensive contract or not.

Other Thoughts: Like the size of my old SGS2 or actually the size of my new LG Optimus G (Nexus 4 actually) as the right size. Won't be disappointed and LTE is extremely fast on AT&T faster than Verizonin all major spots (even here in Huntsville although Verizon can hit 60MMbps as well)

5 out of 5 eggsFlawless Phone

Pros: The phone is great. Everything is as described.

I encountered a problem with the sim card. There was actually no problem with the sim card. I was just simply did not know you had to press down the sim card until you heard a clicking sound. I actually sent the item in for RMA because i did not know this. I am embarassed. Just realized my mistake through a youtube video on how to properly install sim card.

Overall great phone. I'm a very satisfied customer

Cons: None. seriously, i'm not lazy to write anything about this phone. The phone is as described. Only problem may be that it's 500 dollars but the performance is what you're paying for. Maybe the battery life may be an issue, but that is something you must consider when buying 2100 mah.

No problems with phone

5 out of 5 eggsCutting edge

Pros: They're working on an attachment, for that!! I can't think of anything it can't do!! Yes, you want to put a film screen protector on it, but then you'd be foolish not to put one on any phone. Got mine "Unlocked," from NE. Just the best phone I've ever had.

Cons: You pay for the best.....if that's a Con....so be it.

Other Thoughts: Apps, apps, and more apps. If the phone doesn't offer the ability to do something, there IS an app for it. DO GET an antivirus app....I suggest Avast.
