All android 4.0 devices are moving away for physical buttons for home and search functionality. 1280x1024 is not a sensible resolution. The screen will either be 1280x768 or 1920x1080 which as been rumoured recently. it will be 16:9 or wider as the physical buttons are now part of the screen — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.49.31.107 ( talk) 05:45, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Can someone add Verizon's SCH-i535 model to the table? Here is a comprehensive datasheet. I'd do it myself but I don't know enough about cell networks to get that part accurately written. DavidPx ( talk) 18:48, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

"On Feb 27th, 2012 the Galaxy SIII specs were reportedly leaked.

The galaxy 3 with 1 gigabyte ram only has 780 true ram available. Do not buy it. I have a galaxy 3 and applications like browser, agenda, calculator are pushed out of memory every time. Wish I hadn't believed Samsung lies. Push home button until task manager button appears than push ram. Look how sad the truth is, a miserable 780 megabytes ram only. Do not buy it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.91.38.100 ( talk) 03:14, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

There's going to be a few different colours apparently, including a "Garnet Red" one in America. May be worth mentioning. [2] Thanks ツ Jenova 20 ( email) 15:24, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
The Daily Telegraph says that uSwitch.com Mobile Tracker ranked the S3 as the most popular phone in February. I don't see how I can't use the same webpage to give the reader an idea of how popular--based on " live searches and sales"--the S3 is as of July. As far as I know, the editor who removed the paragraph has done some original research by claiming uSwitch "has ranked the S III as the most-searched phone on its website in March 2012" when in fact sources like The Times of India, The Daily Telegraph, Mail Online and Zee News say that it was according to live searches and sales. Can I be given an explanation for this non-corroboration? I may have missed something -- Sp33dyphil © hat ontributions
I've got great hopes for this article, but before I could take it anywhere, a thorough copy edit is needed so I can take up a refreshed perspective of the article afterwards. I will follow up with an award. -- Sp33dyphil © hat ontributions 06:12, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Conclusion
Further to my comments on the GA Review, I have tagged a number of references that I believe are poor quality and should be replaced or removed (together with any content that depends on the reference if no suitable replacement can be found). -- Biker Biker ( talk) 10:33, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
I also see that there are 16 references from The Christian Post. Really? It smacks of desperation when the only references that can be found are from a publication like that. All the articles are by the same author and reading some of the articles, all that all he is doing in most of the articles is reposting Samsung's press releases & news items. There is no journalist value in any of the articles. I would assert that all of these references are worthless and should be removed. -- Biker Biker ( talk) 10:47, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
Here's a fine example of how this article is overlinked. "Thus the design and name of the Galaxy S III for North America is retained from the international version, marking a deviation from the previous customization of design and name for different carriers of the previous Galaxy S models."[101][102][103][104][105] You really have to be joking here: Five sources for that one sentence like really. This article needs to comply with standards or it will not be promoted. Stop saying that the number of sources that there are is completely fine, because it is not. Biker Biker and I will being removing sources accordingly because "you" (the people that want this to be a GA article) care otherwise. Obtund Talk 05:31, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
The zeugma in the first sentence really needs to go - it does a rather confusing jump at "by and the". I suggest unraveling "The Samsung Galaxy S III is a smartphone designed by and the 2012 flagship phone of Samsung Electronics." as follows: "The Samsung Galaxy S III is a smartphone designed by Samsung Electronics. It is the firm's 2012 flagship phone." -- illythr ( talk) 17:19, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
I cannot understand why user Obtund is steadfastly removing references regarding the specs from the infobox. He/she is refusing to respond to my rationale, instead blatantly removing such references without providing a reasonable edit summary ( [5]). Obtund is requesting that I "note the ref next to the fact", but this would require myself to add numerous more references next to each figure in the infobox, thus contradicting his/her wish of minimizing the overall number of references in the article. Obtund's reverts ignore WP's policy of citation and the guideline regarding reference placement at Template:Infobox mobile phone. As such, I will once again restore the refs. -- Sp33dyphil © hat ontributions 02:07, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
I could upload an image with the standard TouchWiz UX home screen for the infobox to Wikipedia (one of those that got deleted on Commons) as Fair Use (the reason would be that the SIII pioneers this interface, as well as it being a critical design illustration). Thoughts for or against? -- illythr ( talk) 18:35, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
There is another South Korean version called "SHW-M440S". It's the 3G-only variant exclusively available on SK Telecom. What should I do?
And what about the T-DMB tuner? "SHW-M440S" (3G) doesn't have it (has FM radio tuner instead), while "SHV-E210K", "L" and "S" (LTE) have it. JSH-alive/ talk/ cont/ mail 16:47, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
Found something. Now what should I do with those mainland Chinese variants for China Telecom, China Mobile and China Unicom? JSH-alive/ talk/ cont/ mail 11:12, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
Talk about how apple got 1.05 B USD because samsung violated 7 patents and is requesting to pull it off the market. Obtund Talk 04:40, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
I strongly suggest this article to be disabled/deleted for a while, at least until iphone 5 sales start to decrease. Otherwise it may distract people from the iphone 5 and reduce it sales. After all, it is proven in court that samsung infringed apple patents. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.125.113.243 ( talk) 19:35, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
According to the Samsung page about the specs of this phone, it has both GPS and Glonass, so why isn't it mentioned in the data input? 2.37.37.81 ( talk) 09:59, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
it should be reflected that the former has the 8260A MSM, while the latter have the 8960 MSM. It factors into the modems, as the T-Mobile etc. don't have LTE capability even theoretically, while the ATT etc. one does. I don't know how to edit the table but someone who does could. Atrix20 ( talk) 01:35, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
Should the slogan be changed to "The next big thing is already here" Jedieaston ( talk) 18:43, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
I removed the last sentence of the Critical reception section because the statement isn't supported by the reference.
"Since the release of Apple's iPhone 5, the Galaxy S III has widely been panned by critics for being substantially inferior in quality."
The reference title is: "iPhone 5 Benchmark: Significant Lead Over Competitors" whereas the actual page's title is "iPhone 5 benchmark: narrowly beats Galaxy S3".
[note: I don't know how to find out when and by whom a specific part of the article was written; looking through the history can be tedious for articles like this one with many edits]
Fabricebaro ( talk) 19:12, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
User InternetMeme deleted the media_formats and ringtone attributes from {{ Infobox mobile phone}}, causing their contents (including the SpecsGSMA reference root) to disappear. Here's the stuff, in case anyone wants to incorporate it elsewhere in the article:
media_formats=
ringtone = Vibration, MP3, and WAV ("SpecsGSMA")

Samsung has released Galaxy S III Progre (SCH-J021, SCL21) for KDDI and Galaxy S III Alpha (SGH-N035, SC-03E. A quadcore model) for Docomo. Can somebody add them? JSH-alive/ talk/ cont/ mail 11:55, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
There is a version called GT-I9305N that is identical to the GT-I9305 except it has 900 MHz LTE instead of 800 MHz. It's sold by the operator Tele2 in Sweden and is suitable for the LTE network that they share with Telenor. Specifications are available here. Could someone add it to the table, please? 83.233.37.200 ( talk) 15:35, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
This is listed in the specs box, but is not mentioned in the source cited. Can anyone confirm this is true and/or find a better source? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.74.82.54 ( talk) 06:01, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
The table lists the operating system of the Samsung Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 as Android 4.04
The unit I looked at in the official Verizon store had 4.1.x
The unit I just purchased from Costco in the United States has version 4.1.1.
The operating system in the table needs to be updated.
Perhaps there is a more flexible way to show the version as it may depend on when and where the unit is purchased and if it has received an OTA update.

I think we should add the "Successor" section as soon as it's needed or maybe now. I thought it was there last time. And if someone is to add that, it's not me, i don't think I'm good at English to maintain this article as "Good Article". ToBeAnonymous ( talk) 14:44, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
Considering that public opinion is gaining importance after adoption of social, I feel that apart from facts, the product pages should also contain a summary of public opinion about the product. Something like the information here - http://www.senseforth.com/#!smartphones/Samsung_Galaxy_S_III . Do you feel this information will add value to the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ritz7286 ( talk • contribs) 18:03, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
Has this device any active noise control? The only hint in the article is the presence of a second microphone, with a dead link ref at the end of the sentence. No mention in the infobox. -- Jerome Potts ( talk) 16:46, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
Maybe worth mentioning for those who like a phone with completely free software: Replicant_(operating_system) is available for the GT-I9300 GSM '(not the LTE one or any other country-specific variant)' 89.12.20.109 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 07:24, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

Samsung lists the SPH-L710 as supporting up to a 64GB microSD card though this page says 32GB [1]. Am I missing something? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Altendky ( talk • contribs) 01:46, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
why is there no photo yet? Jainsworth16 ( talk) 09:55, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
Should it be mentioned that Samsung messed up making the blue models and as of yet only a fraction of the pre-prders for blue 16GB have been shipped and none of the blue 32GB phones have been shipped, as well as an initial delay on the white 32GB? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.149.82.243 ( talk) 10:03, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
Please don't keep adding rumours about storage sizes without a reliable source as i can otherwise challenge and remove it under WP:CRYSTAL. Thanks Jenova 20 10:28, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

The galaxy 3 with 1 gigabyte ram only has 780 true ram available. Do not buy it. I have a galaxy 3 and applications like browser, agenda, calculator are pushed out of memory every time. Wish I hadn't believed Samsung lies. Push home button until task manager button appears than push ram. Look how sad the truth is, a miserable 780 megabytes ram only. Do not buy it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.91.38.100 ( talk) 03:14, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
Can the editor who added the advert tag provide a more specific rationale and examples for his action? It is difficult to rectify flaws if the problem is not identified. If no rationale is provide, the tag will be removed. -- Sp33dyphil © hat ontributions 08:28, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I'd like to request a photo of the phone, similar to File:IPhone 4S No shadow.png. It would be preferable if the the home screen is untouched like File:Galaxy Nexus smartphone.jpg. It would be great if such a photo is uploaded. -- Sp33dyphil © hat ontributions 03:42, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi, at the moment I'm trying to build a table that has all the S3 release dates of major countries; if somebody could help me find high-quality sources that has the dates for the following that would be very helpful. (please place the URLs next to the countries)

There's going to be a few different colours apparently, including a "Garnet Red" one in America. May be worth mentioning. [2] Thanks ツ Jenova 20 ( email) 15:24, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
The Daily Telegraph says that uSwitch.com Mobile Tracker ranked the S3 as the most popular phone in February. I don't see how I can't use the same webpage to give the reader an idea of how popular--based on " live searches and sales"--the S3 is as of July. As far as I know, the editor who removed the paragraph has done some original research by claiming uSwitch "has ranked the S III as the most-searched phone on its website in March 2012" when in fact sources like The Times of India, The Daily Telegraph, Mail Online and Zee News say that it was according to live searches and sales. Can I be given an explanation for this non-corroboration? I may have missed something -- Sp33dyphil © hat ontributions
I've got great hopes for this article, but before I could take it anywhere, a thorough copy edit is needed so I can take up a refreshed perspective of the article afterwards. I will follow up with an award. -- Sp33dyphil © hat ontributions 06:12, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Conclusion
Further to my comments on the GA Review, I have tagged a number of references that I believe are poor quality and should be replaced or removed (together with any content that depends on the reference if no suitable replacement can be found). -- Biker Biker ( talk) 10:33, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
I also see that there are 16 references from The Christian Post. Really? It smacks of desperation when the only references that can be found are from a publication like that. All the articles are by the same author and reading some of the articles, all that all he is doing in most of the articles is reposting Samsung's press releases & news items. There is no journalist value in any of the articles. I would assert that all of these references are worthless and should be removed. -- Biker Biker ( talk) 10:47, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
Here's a fine example of how this article is overlinked. "Thus the design and name of the Galaxy S III for North America is retained from the international version, marking a deviation from the previous customization of design and name for different carriers of the previous Galaxy S models."[101][102][103][104][105] You really have to be joking here: Five sources for that one sentence like really. This article needs to comply with standards or it will not be promoted. Stop saying that the number of sources that there are is completely fine, because it is not. Biker Biker and I will being removing sources accordingly because "you" (the people that want this to be a GA article) care otherwise. Obtund Talk 05:31, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
The zeugma in the first sentence really needs to go - it does a rather confusing jump at "by and the". I suggest unraveling "The Samsung Galaxy S III is a smartphone designed by and the 2012 flagship phone of Samsung Electronics." as follows: "The Samsung Galaxy S III is a smartphone designed by Samsung Electronics. It is the firm's 2012 flagship phone." -- illythr ( talk) 17:19, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
I cannot understand why user Obtund is steadfastly removing references regarding the specs from the infobox. He/she is refusing to respond to my rationale, instead blatantly removing such references without providing a reasonable edit summary ( [5]). Obtund is requesting that I "note the ref next to the fact", but this would require myself to add numerous more references next to each figure in the infobox, thus contradicting his/her wish of minimizing the overall number of references in the article. Obtund's reverts ignore WP's policy of citation and the guideline regarding reference placement at Template:Infobox mobile phone. As such, I will once again restore the refs. -- Sp33dyphil © hat ontributions 02:07, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
I could upload an image with the standard TouchWiz UX home screen for the infobox to Wikipedia (one of those that got deleted on Commons) as Fair Use (the reason would be that the SIII pioneers this interface, as well as it being a critical design illustration). Thoughts for or against? -- illythr ( talk) 18:35, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
There is another South Korean version called "SHW-M440S". It's the 3G-only variant exclusively available on SK Telecom. What should I do?
And what about the T-DMB tuner? "SHW-M440S" (3G) doesn't have it (has FM radio tuner instead), while "SHV-E210K", "L" and "S" (LTE) have it. JSH-alive/ talk/ cont/ mail 16:47, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Talk about how apple got 1.05 B USD because samsung violated 7 patents and is requesting to pull it off the market. Obtund Talk 04:40, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
I strongly suggest this article to be disabled/deleted for a while, at least until iphone 5 sales start to decrease. Otherwise it may distract people from the iphone 5 and reduce it sales. After all, it is proven in court that samsung infringed apple patents. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.125.113.243 ( talk) 19:35, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
According to the Samsung page about the specs of this phone, it has both GPS and Glonass, so why isn't it mentioned in the data input? 2.37.37.81 ( talk) 09:59, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
it should be reflected that the former has the 8260A MSM, while the latter have the 8960 MSM. It factors into the modems, as the T-Mobile etc. don't have LTE capability even theoretically, while the ATT etc. one does. I don't know how to edit the table but someone who does could.

Should the slogan be changed to "The next big thing is already here" Jedieaston ( talk) 18:43, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
I removed the last sentence of the Critical reception section because the statement isn't supported by the reference.
"Since the release of Apple's iPhone 5, the Galaxy S III has widely been panned by critics for being substantially inferior in quality."
The reference title is: "iPhone 5 Benchmark: Significant Lead Over Competitors" whereas the actual page's title is "iPhone 5 benchmark: narrowly beats Galaxy S3".
[note: I don't know how to find out when and by whom a specific part of the article was written; looking through the history can be tedious for articles like this one with many edits]

User InternetMeme deleted the media_formats and ringtone attributes from {{ Infobox mobile phone}}, causing their contents (including the SpecsGSMA reference root) to disappear. Here's the stuff, in case anyone wants to incorporate it elsewhere in the article:
media_formats=
ringtone = Vibration, MP3, and WAV ("SpecsGSMA")

Samsung has released Galaxy S III Progre (SCH-J021, SCL21) for KDDI and Galaxy S III Alpha (SGH-N035, SC-03E. A quadcore model) for Docomo. Can somebody add them? JSH-alive/ talk/ cont/ mail 11:55, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
There is a version called GT-I9305N that is identical to the GT-I9305 except it has 900 MHz LTE instead of 800 MHz. It's sold by the operator Tele2 in Sweden and is suitable for the LTE network that they share with Telenor. Specifications are available here. Could someone add it to the table, please? 83.233.37.200 ( talk) 15:35, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
This is listed in the specs box, but is not mentioned in the source cited. Can anyone confirm this is true and/or find a better source? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.74.82.54 ( talk) 06:01, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
The table lists the operating system of the Samsung Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 as Android 4.04
The unit I looked at in the official Verizon store had 4.1.x
The unit I just purchased from Costco in the United States has version 4.1.1.
The operating system in the table needs to be updated.
Perhaps there is a more flexible way to show the version as it may depend on when and where the unit is purchased and if it has received an OTA update.

I think we should add the "Successor" section as soon as it's needed or maybe now. I thought it was there last time. And if someone is to add that, it's not me, i don't think I'm good at English to maintain this article as "Good Article". ToBeAnonymous ( talk) 14:44, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
Considering that public opinion is gaining importance after adoption of social, I feel that apart from facts, the product pages should also contain a summary of public opinion about the product. Something like the information here - http://www.senseforth.com/#!smartphones/Samsung_Galaxy_S_III . Do you feel this information will add value to the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ritz7286 ( talk • contribs) 18:03, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
Has this device any active noise control? The only hint in the article is the presence of a second microphone, with a dead link ref at the end of the sentence. No mention in the infobox. -- Jerome Potts ( talk) 16:46, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
Maybe worth mentioning for those who like a phone with completely free software: Replicant_(operating_system) is available for the GT-I9300 GSM '(not the LTE one or any other country-specific variant)' 89.12.20.109 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 07:24, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
There is a grid within the article which shows the details of each model of phone and carriers they are available with. The SPH-L710 which is supported by Virgin Mobile, Boost, and Sprint support SD cards up to 64gb. http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SPH-L710RWBVMU-specs 174.140.81.45 ( talk) 09:49, 26 November 2013 (UTC)b
I was NOT able to view this table due to it not scrolling. I figured someone might want to know it did not seem to work properly on the front page so here it is if someone wants to look into this matter. The table is at: /info/en/?search=Samsung_Galaxy_S_III#Model_variants
