nik, 19 Jun 2019Mine does.
I'm still using an S3 and it chugs so much.
Ca... moreHow to get Max Performance:
Disable everything below -
- GPS (Location)
- Sync
- Auto Update in Play Store
- NFC (I9100P)
- Bloatware
- System Sounds
- Vibration
- Notifications
- Antivirus Apps (they are useless)
In Developer Options -
- Enable Force 4x MSAA
- Scroll all the way down to Limit Background Processes and pick No Background Processes (doesn't affect functionality)
- For Window, Transition Animation Scale and Animator Duration Scale choose 0.5x or off for all three options (this speeds up the phone significantly)
- Use an Adblock Browser e.g. Brave
How to get Max Battery Life -
- Keep the brightness all the way down
- Disable Notifications
- Disable Auto-Update Apps
- Disable Bloatware
- Turn off System Sounds
- Don't use Live Wallpapers, use a dark wallpaper as this is an AMOLED display
- I highly recommend a high capacity (3000mAh+) as it really does improve battery but adds bulk to the phone, MBuyNow is the best option IMO.
- Downgrade to Android 4.0.4 or 4.0.3 for the best battery life (Play Services will not update by itself, also saving battery), the ROMS are at the updato website for your specific model

* This phone is great, but it's not the phone I would use on a daily basis.
* The 32GB of storage with 1GB of ram does not make sense, thus making the phone slow sometimes.
* Android system cannot update so apps cannot function effectively.
I rate this phone 7/10.

Ha, i have found a new life for my old S3... as dedicated sound recorder + Rode mic for my DSLR since it lacks microphone input, the only downside is to remember to start - end the recording tracks between shots, then i can use the AAC files in post production.

Beautiful phone, my parents used to have an S III, and I was first off put due to the TouchWiz interface. Now, looking back, these phones were ahead of their time for me!

I am using this mobile phone since 4th July 2012. It works perfectly, not a single scratch. The only thing that happened is that my fingerprints changed the colour of that silver part on sides. It turned mostly black, colour of coal, because when I play, my fingers keep the phone on the side. I don't see any problems with my CPU, memory, I play few games constantly. Display colours are nice. My phone is white, not like this one in the picture. I can't complain. The problem is battery consumption and long time of battery charge, but who can have the battery for 6 years and expect the greatness and long lasting performance. :) When it stops working, I will probably buy iPhone XR, XS or some other newer, because I doubt that my Galaxy S3 will stop with nice performance. Still emotionally attached. :) Asus Rog seems also nice, iPhone and Samsung, maybe LG.
