"You can also try to press and hold the power and volume down button (at least on the s6,check your manual) to force a reboot. "

Have the same problem, put the phone on overnight charge. Tried to use it in the morning and was completely dead. Have borrowed my partners Galaxy S3 in the mean time until I find a fix for this phone. Its around 11 months old. Phone is still under warranty as it was purchased in the UK. Worry facts for samsung I reckon if this is happening on the regular basis as it seems so.

My S3 died about 3 weeks ago as well and I am in the UK, I was shopping in the mall suddenly it reset and went blank when i tried to restart it would just go to the screen with galaxy siii and later even that stopped, Took it to carphone warehouse the the morons are saying liquid damage despite the phone never having any liquid splashed or immersed. will speak to samsung directly, should have done that before.

We (in UK) has received another update after 4.1.2 which did not upgrade the version nor the features, but this has apparently fixed the issue. Confirmed by one of my colleagues who had effected from this issue.

Hi, Samsung galaxy S3 died suddenly last night in middle of a call. I got this device 7 months ago when I upgraded my contract. The phone was really good in terms of features, speed and performance only battery was an issue as it use to drain out quickly. But very disappointing, I was prepared to get an iPhone but, friends convinced to S3 and this is what happened. I was recommending others but, no more I hope my problem gets sorted very disappointing another friend mine had same issue few months ago.......ohhhhhh

I experienced sudden death issue for my phone Samsung Galaxy S III GT-I9300. I called Samsung support in USA. They said International versions are not supported in USA, warranty is not valid for the sets purchased on ebay and amazon according to Samsung support.
