    To all who blame SONY !
    Sudden death is not something exists only on Sony Smartphones!
    Don't you remember the sudden death issue of your beloved Galaxy S III which was fixed after firmware update?

      I work at a service provider tech department, we get dead SIIIs all the time. In fact, it's the only device that has "sudden death" as its most common reason for warranty repairs

                You are right bro... A cousin of mine bought Xperia Sola. It suddenly died on the 19th day. He then went for an HTC One V. Coincidentally or whatever, it died as well after a week.
                He finally settled for a Galaxy S Advance and has been using the aame since 6 months, with absolutely no issues. However ugly they look, Samsung products are pretty reliable.
                I have a Galaxy S2, Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 as well, in the family. Each of them works flawlessly. And so does the iPhone 4S.

                  This thing has happened to my sister's S2 too and i think it has something to do with the software. So this thing happens.

                        Ajeet, 21 Mar 2013Could it be a case of rushing the product to the market wit... moreI agree, all manufacturers should give atleast ample time to test (stress / torture test) their units from software to hardware side. It seems that they are really after profit rather than high quality product.

                        Imagine every other month, they will introduce a new device.

                          Anonymous, 21 Mar 2013Samsung has no R&D Department cuz they have Copy-Paste ... moreCopycat? What copycat? are you a parakeet?
                          Just repeating what iPhone/Nokia fanboys say? rounded edges is not Apple invention even if an American court ruled in favor for an American brand "Apple" doesn't make it right because 100% they biased to their companies against foreign companies.

                          THEN tell me why Germany and U.K didn't incriminate Samsung? Instead they obligated Apple to put this logo in their main website "Samsung didn’t copy us letter"?

                          So keep being like a parakeet and Samsung will keep beating every single brand.

                          Read this "SIII sold more than 50 million" and won best smartphone in Mobile World Congress.

                          So cry more over it you will never change that "Samsung is the best"!

                                        wow. i own an s3 and at least on two occasions my phone has also just "suddenly died". nothing to do with battery level. both occasions, took several attempts to turn it on before it actually did. thought nothing of it at those times but now i see it wasn't just my s3.
