Samsung Galaxy S3 16GB GSM Unlocked - (White)

Muy buen desempeño

This is the first time I buy smartphones so I'll stick to describing my purchase experience rather than commenting on technical specifications, which I believe other reviews cover in much more detail.I actually purchased a used device from TJ GLOBAL. I can truly say it's been a great deal.The order arrived well within the estimated time. The box was closed and properly sealed. It came with all its components (device, charger, USB cable, earphones), all fully packaged and even with the stickers on. I was pleased to find that the device had no scratches and didn't show any sign of having ever been used.The device works perfectly. So far it hasn't blacked out, flashed, flickered or unexpectedly turned off. The battery charges in the average time. I've had it for about 15 days and no trouble so far.The phone is unlocked. I have successfully activated it here in Colombia. I use it with Claro and Movistar SIM cards. It makes and receives calls alright, picks wi-fi and does everything it's supposed to do.The user manual came in what I believe is Hungarian. This device is a European version of the Galaxy S III, it seems. I haven't seen any adverse effects of this so far. The only difference is that people I know who are familiar with smartphones have noticed that this version is slightly slimmer than the one sold in Colombia, and upon comparison it appears to be so.By the way, if when you get calls you tap on the green button and it does nothing, it's not that it's malfunctioning. You have to tap and drag the green button towards the red button to the right in order to answer a call. I lost lots of calls and was close to return the phone before I learned this.I recommend this product and the seller TJ GLOBAL. I'll edit this review if I have a problem with it in the future. If I don't, assume it's still working perfectly.***Es primera vez que compro smartphones así que me limitaré a describir mi experiencia de compra antes que comentar sobre especificaciones técnicas, lo cual creo que otros reviewers cubren con mucho más detalle.Compré un aparato usado a TJ GLOBAL. Puedo decir que sí ha sido una ganga.La orden llegó dentro del tiempo estimado. La caja estaba cerrada y debidamente sellada. Vino con todos sus componentes (el aparato, el cargador, cable USB y audífonos), todo completamente empacado y con los stickers puestos. Me encantó que el aparato no tenía rayones ni mostraba ninguna señal de haber sido usado jamás.El aparato funciona perfectamente. Hasta ahora no se ha quemado, ni centelleado, ni parpadeado ni se ha apagado súbitamente. La batería carga en el tiempo promedio. Lo he tenido por cerca de 15 días sin problemas hasta el momento.El teléfono está desbloqueado (liberado). He podido activarlo aquí en Colombia. Lo uso con SIM cards de Claro y Movistar. Hace y recibe llamadas bien, coge wi-fi y hace todo lo que se supone que haga.El manual de usuario vino creo que en húngaro. Yo diría que este aparato es una versión europea del Galaxy S III. No he visto efectos adversos hasta ahora. La única diferencia es que la gente que conozco y está familiarizada con los smartphones ha notado que esta versión es ligeramente más delgada que la que se vende en Colombia, y al compararlas parece que sí es así.A propósito, si cuando reciban llamadas tocan el botón verde y no hace nada, no es que se haya dañado. Tienen que tocar y arrastrar el botón verde hacia el botón rojo de la derecha para poder responder la llamada. Perdí cantidad de llamadas y casi lo devuelvo antes de darme cuenta de eso.Recomiendo este producto y al vendedor TJ GLOBAL. Editaré esta review si tengo un problema en el futuro. Si no, asuman que todavía funciona perfectamente.///He editado la review para añadir una traducción al español porque el producto lo merece.

Before I review the phone, I would like to address the bait and switch that seems to be going on. I purchased this phone from a vendor that was fulfilled by Amazon, thinking I should be able to trust that vendor. Not so. Mobile Brothers advertised it as an unlocked international with a quad core processor. The protective sticker on the screen even said quad core. However, it was the AT&T dual core version. As always, Amazon was great. Knowing I need a phone, they issued a refund and gave me 30 days to send the crap I bought back. I then did some research, and found a vendor who had an actual telephone number and had a chat with them. Their offering was not prime eligible but after speaking to the gentleman, and being assured that what I was getting was advertised, I took a chance. Phone arrived in 4 days, and one of those days was Thanksgiving. I opened the box, fired it up and it is indeed, the international version with quad core and FM radio feature. Neither one of these are available for the US models. Only dual core and no radio. If you are considering purchasing this phone, ThePowerSellers will not rip you off. Great vendor!Now the phone. I have seen some people claim it's a cheaper version because it's the international version. I have no idea what they're on. I have a friend with a US version and quality is just as good. Even better, as the international version has more features than the US version. It boots up in 22 seconds. (I just timed it) Has more features than I've even discovered yet. S-Voice is a great tool. You can control most of the phone's features, make calls, and send text messages by voice. There is a whole slew of gestures you can enable. The camera is amazing for a phone camera.I can't say a lot more as I haven't had it long enough to explore all the features myself. This is a great phone so far. I don't know what the longevity will be, but then you don't really know that with any electronic device, so only time will tell there.**UPDATE 12/4/2013 I have received an email from Mobile Brothers stating that they did not sell the wrong item intentionally. They seem pretty sincere and due to a couple facts I believe them. The box was factory sealed, as best as I can tell. The protective sticker, as I stated before said Quad Core. It also states quad core on the back of the box. It would almost seem that the fault lies with Samnsung itself. While I know that some vendors are dishonest, I would like to think the majority of them ARE honest. So I will change the feedback I left for Mobile Brothers accordingly. And my apologies for any trouble I might have caused them as it would seem they sold the item in good faith.

Galaxy S3 - international versionPurchased from Global Mobile 3/2013First and foremost: PHONE DOES NOT WORK WITH VERIZON OR SPRINT.Could have saved me a lot of time and worry if the product description said it only works with TMobile and AT&T. For that reason you lose half a star.Took away another half for being shipped late. The shipping date was also never updated until the day it finally shipped, which is the date I was expecting it.I love the phone so much that I can forgive the late shipping and having to switch phone carriers. (I was planning on leaving Verizon anyway).This is my third Android phone and it is definitely the best so far. The amount tricks you can do just keep increasing. It'll take a while to learn everything this phone is capable of.Was concerned about the size. But my small girly hands have no problems. Strongly recommend a case as the sleek design made me nervous I'd drop it.Best thing about purchasing an unlocked phone is not having to deal with all the bloat-ware that the carriers install on their phones. No annoying apps that you can't delete. Did come with a bunch of German apps. But I was able to delete them with no problems.If you've never used an Android or aren't technically savy, it may take awhile for you to get the hang of it.All in all I'm glad I bought this phone. I got the phone I've always wanted. At nearly half the price. Left Verizon for TMOBILE. Looking forward to a much cheaper phone bill.Definitely worth it.SENT FROM MY AWESOME NEW GALAXY S3!
