There are several different ways to take a photo, including a shot burst mode, HDR and the fun Panorama feature. The phone takes pictures almost instantly, but we found the thin screen bezel meant we would nudge the touchscreen sometimes and activate an option when lining up a shot.
The resulting images are still excellent by smartphone standards today, with natural colours and plenty of detail in bright light. It's here that the S3 still beats modern budget phones. The S3 comes with a 50GB Dropbox account for two years, and the phone will automatically upload photos over Wi-Fi to your online storage.
The S3 was the first handset where samsung really pulled out the stops when designing useful accessories, such as this clever Flip Cover. This replaces the original wafer thin backplate with something considerably sturdier and less flexible.
Then there's an attached front cover, allowing for screen protection from a case that's far more compact than any we'd seen before. That heavier backplate should provide some extra protection for rear impacts, but it doesn't wrap around the silver edges of the phone itself, which are most likely to be at risk should the handset be dropped.
This case, then is all about keeping that gorgeous AMOLED screen scratch free - and smudge-free too as the felt-like inside of the case gently polishes the display while it's in your pocket.
There are no fancy smart cover features here, unfortunately, so having opened the case you'll still need to press the power or home button to wake up the handset. There are a couple of niggles too, that Samsung should fix. The screen cover interferes with handset's automatic brightness settings - so the handset often comes on at minimum brightness for a few seconds before realising that you're not using it in the dark and ramping up the display. Also you'll want to turn off Direct Call, as shutting the case while putting the phone in your pocket, can be misconstrued by the gesture recognition as moving the handset up to your head, which automatically calls whoever's contact card or text message is on screen at the time.
This is one of the speed tests we ran on the GS3. Screenshot by CBSi. When we switched the phone into Airplane mode and ran our usual video-playback tests, the GS3 4G rated at the same level as the 3G version of the phone — about seven and a half hours. This suggests to us that 4G is the battery sap, and it should be something that you strongly consider before signing up for a 4G version of this phone. For some people, the phone's hour battery life will be sufficient, but for many it is not enough to see them through a standard working day.
When you boil it right down, it's a pretty straight trade-off between 4G speeds and battery life, and that will ultimately be your decision to make. For us, this is a bad swap. There's no point in having blazing-fast data speeds if you have no battery life to power the phone, and 12 hours of moderate use is not enough by our standards. Joseph Hanlon. You can't use a SIM from a different carrier than your S3's model unless it has been unlocked. Contact your carrier's customer service department to do this.
Part 2. Open the Settings app. Your device should automatically connect to 4G networks when in range, but you can double-check your settings to be sure. Note: This process is not possible on Verizon S3 phones. Your device will automatically connect when in range of Verizon's 4G LTE network, and you cannot adjust these settings.
If you cannot connect to a Verizon 4G network when you know you should be able to, contact Verizon customer service. Tap "More networks" or "More. Tap "Mobile networks. Tap "Network mode. Your Samsung Galaxy S3 will automatically choose 4g over 3g, because it's faster. You can set different priorities in "Settings. Yes No. Not Helpful 20 Helpful The only downside is S-Voice. We soon stopped trying to use it. This new 4G version changes nothing in our view. This phone simply has more, and better, features.
