Urgent
This article is in urgent need of references, to deter or prevent edit warring and other nasty and unpleasant argument. I definitely know that there are numerous references out there that can be relatively easy to obtain with a single google search but unfortunately many of us (including me) aren't bother locate them. All in all, this issue must be addressed, DarkBahamut1 made the right judgement by reverting the article to a redirect; at its current state, this article warrants deletion.

 * I guess advertisement-like claims would differ with opinions, I would consider "This would make for an interesting concept coupled with the rumored" to be an opinion skewed from neutrality and along with no source, it as if that phrase was written by the designers themselves.

Physical Buttons
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)

GOOD NEWS !!!!
Now there's nothing for this article to be be deleted now. It's all under control. There's no multiple issues above that may cause this article to be deleted. To don't let this happen again, we should not put there any unconfirmed sources. Please help this article to expand. Please remove this article from deleting because there's nothing to worry about. Thanks for teaching me user: Funnyfarmofdoom.''

Specs
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)

Can someone please tell me why my edit including the leaked specs was deleted? "On Feb 27th, 2012 the Galaxy SIII specs were reportedly leaked. It is rumored that the Galaxy SIII will have a 1.5GHz quad-core Samsung Exynos processor, 4.8-inch “full HD” 1080p resolution with 16:9 aspect ratio display, A 2-megapixel front-facing camera and an 8-megapixel rear camera, a Ceramic case instead of the usual plastic and aluminum, and it will ship with Android 4.0 installed.

 * Your edit was deleted as it consist of speculated content. Despite citing it with a reliable reference, the reference itself is speculating the specification of the phone. As per WP:CRYSTAL, information of the sort cannot be included in the article. YuMaNuMa Contrib 14:50, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Though the official specs haven't been released, there is a difference between "speculated" information and "leaked" information. Though it is possible that even reputable sources can be fooled by false information, but that was why I included multiple sources and also included "leaked" and "rumored" in the text. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MAD DOG86 (talk • contribs)
 * Although, I would admit the line between speculated and leaked is very thin, the sources you cited don't really help you prove your point as one claims the specification is 'rumoured' while the other is simply asserting that those are the definite specification. As with in previous cases, leaked data must be extremely substantial in terms of the evidence, a source simply claiming that the specification is leaked is not good enough. YuMaNuMa Contrib 21:02, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
 * So for the leaked information to be considered substantial it means that a company spokesman must comment on the leak? That doesn't seem very likely as almost all companies will simply say that they "can neither confirm nor deny yada yada yada". Anyway, I was just curious about the rules, I guess it doesn't really matter as this isn't urgent information that must be updated immediately, and we can wait until the official announcment to update the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MAD DOG86 (talk • contribs)
 * Well not exactly comment on it but the source of the leak should at least have video of a leak device, paper documents regarding the specification of the phone or other details or a screenshot from the official website of Samsung for it to be considered substantial but of course, common sense comes into play here as well :).

Samsung lists the SPH-L710 as supporting up to a 64GB microSD card though this page says 32GB. Am I missing something? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Altendky (talk • contribs) 01:46, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Delivery Problems
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)

Removal of US information from Info Bar

Truly available RAM
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)
 * This is not a forum for discussing your experience with the phone. You are best complaining to Samsung. Thanks  J e n o v a  20 08:24, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Or rather, to Google, as a certain percentage of RAM (~200 MB in this case) is always reserved for usage by Android. --illythr (talk) 20:34, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Advert tag
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 ©hatontributions 08:28, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Image request
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 ©hatontributions 03:42, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Here's one. A bit on the crappy side, though (dark). --illythr (talk) 20:24, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
 * No worries, that's exactly what I wanted! I've tweaked it a little. --Sp33dyphil ©hatontributions 01:02, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
 * It might look nice but it's also showing a modified/black Samsung Galaxy S3 rather than a white or blue one and is therefore not entirely appropriate for the article or current usage. It is a nice image though but is so dark it obscures the view of the app names and the shape and design of the phone.
 * Sorry but we need a replacement  J e n o v a  20 18:58, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * That's the standard blue version, actually. Apparently the color's been changed slightly after the screwup with the blue cases. But the photo's indeed too dark - couldn't compensate for display brightness. A HDR image would be nice here. --illythr (talk) 21:37, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I stand corrected. That link you provided - that metallic blue looks worse than the original blue one... I'd offer to take a photo but unfortunately the only camera i have is on my phone... Thanks ツ Je no va  20  (email) 22:45, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Can somebody also take photos of the back and side of the phone as well? --Sp33dyphil ©hatontributions 00:32, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Here's some more: Darkened screen, overexposed, back smooth, back with texture, take your pick. --illythr (talk) 22:32, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your help. --Sp33dyphil ©hatontributions 01:23, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I think the 1st and 3rd images would go well together. Opinions? Thanks for taking more photos by the way ツ Je no va  20  (email) 11:23, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The white ones ain't mine. :-) Now that the article's grown, though, I see no problem in adding those as well. --illythr (talk) 12:11, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * So, uh, now that the dandelion screen's turned out to be copyrighted, does anybody have an idea what element of the TouchWiz UX interface is "Samsungy" enough to identify the GS III, yet also generic enough to pass under the copyright chopper? --illythr (talk) 22:21, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
 * How about a photo with the screen turned off, like that of iPhone 4S? --Sp33dyphil ©hatontributions 07:25, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Availability by country sources
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)

Austria (29 May), Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland (29 Mai), Finland, Germany (29 May), Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Thailand, Turkey, Armenia, Bulgaria, Greece, Hong Kong, Poland, Portugal, Romania (29 May), Russia (5 June), South Korea (25 June), Brazil, Chile, Israel, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Philippines (9 June 2012). --Sp33dyphil ©hatontributions 01:46, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Hope you don't mind me adding Germany, Russia and South Korea to the list. :-) It seems the date is 29 May for all of EU, might want to list them as a single entry... --illythr (talk) 19:57, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your effort. Nah, I wouldn't list it as a single entry, because the EU has 27 member states, the S3 was released in 28 countries including Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, meaning there are several EU countries that missed out. Anyway, thanks for your help! --Sp33dyphil ©hatontributions 22:40, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Red Version
There's going to be a few different colours apparently, including a "Garnet Red" one in America. May be worth mentioning. Thanks ツ Je no va  20  (email) 15:24, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Restoration of uSwitch info
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 ©hatontributions
 * Properly qualified I have no problem with the uswitch info being included in the body of the article. The fact that a fairly minor company says it is the most popular searched for and sold phone (via their referral mechanism to vendors who pay commission to uswitch) does not make it the most popular phone in the country. It is therefore wrong to put such a claim into the lead of the article. --Biker Biker (talk) 19:56, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll restore the body sentences that you've removed. --Sp33dyphil ©hatontributions 07:04, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Urgent copy edit
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 ©hatontributions 06:12, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Dubious
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)

OVERLINKED
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. <em style="font-family:Courier;color:green">Ob <em style="font-family:Courier;color:#009ACD">tund <em style="font-family:Courier">Talk 05:31, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify - the number of references is by itself irrelevant - if each of those references supports a specific fact, then the number is fine. The problem is multiple references supporting a single fact, like in the sentence above. This is unnecessary in non-controversial statements and it is those superfluous refs that should be removed. --illythr (talk) 14:54, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
 * That is what I specified above... GA Reviewer - <em style="font-family:Courier;color:green">Ob <em style="font-family:Courier;color:#009ACD">tund <em style="font-family:Courier">Talk 16:48, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes. However, you've set an absolute number of references as a "pass threshold" for the GAR. I hope this won't cause editors to just move in and start deleting sources at random in order to comply. Anyhow, I'm doing a pass at pruning the excesses right now. --illythr (talk) 17:05, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I set that number as a number to get below, because some people weren't understanding that it had too many references. <em style="font-family:Courier;color:green">Ob <em style="font-family:Courier;color:#009ACD">tund <em style="font-family:Courier">Talk 21:30, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

First sentence
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)

Refs in infobox
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. 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<sub style='position: relative; left: -1.5em;'>ontributions 02:07, 10 August 2012 (UTC)


 * If the refs refer to the specifications then put them in the table later in the article, where they can be placed alongside the items they refer to. --Biker Biker (talk) 05:23, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Not all the specs, such as "Ringtones & notifications", "Connectivity", "SAR", "Display", "Front camera", "Rear camera", "Data inputs" and "Compatible media formats", are in the comparisons table. --Sp33dyphil ©hat<sub style='position: relative; left: -1.5em;'>ontributions 05:45, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

TouchWiz UX image as FU?
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 no free image with the phone's characteristic Nature UX interface available. This is a key design feature that sets it apart from other Android smartphones, and that is not visible on the Wikipedia page image. I suppose the crappy image can be moved back into the infobox and the current one - into the "Hardware and design" section if you so insist, though. --illythr (talk) 02:32, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Sorry I wasn't thinking when I was writing that, the image needs to be removed and changed back per NCFF #1.

T-Mobile/Mobilicity/Videotron GS3 vs. ATT/Rogers/Bell/Telus in table
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.

Critical reception: removed dubious sentence
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]

Progre and Alpha: New for Japan
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)

GT-I9305N
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)

Operating System version update
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.

 * The most up to date OS version is 4.1.2 (intl), the original release version is 4.0.4. These two should probably be in the infobox as "range delimiters". As the "current" version varies by region an carrier, we could either mention this in a footnote or someone diligent could create a subsection under "Software and services". --illythr (talk) 13:52, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Noise reduction hardware
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)

THIS Table Just Would Not Work For Me (On The Front Page)
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: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_III#Model_variants
