Samsung Galaxy S3 Duos GT-I9300I smartphone reviews

Merits

  • - easier S3
  • - more economical than S3
  • - two SIM

disadvantages

  • Pentile

Comment
The Internet is already full of screaming cries: To whom do you need this old stuff? Who will buy it? Why is it?
My answer: I need! I bought! It is for people like me!

This is a brand new phone! Outwardly, nothing is different from SIII, but it is newer from a technical point of view.
1) Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 MSM8226 processor: 28 nm, 1.4 GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 + Adreno 305. This solution is head and shoulders above Exynos' energy saving in the original device. At the same time, no decrease in performance was noticed. In power saving mode, the processor switches to 1 GHz mode, which can be felt.
2) RAM is now 1.5 GB (namely 1378MB), which is one and a half times more than the S3.
From this it follows that the performance of the device at the level of S4 mini. Those.
NOTHING BRAKES ANYTHING!
3) Drive size 11.97 GB. This is 2.5 times more than in S4 mini. And this memory is not divided into pieces: it's all under the program! For vidyashek / fotochek there is a slot for microSD.
4) Screen like the S3. There are no differences, but compared to S4 mini, the gain is again both on the diagonal and on resolution.
5) The device has NFC and a multi-colored status diode.
Those. on the face is the new flagship dvuhsimochnikov with AMOLED.

If you need 2 SIM cards and AMOLED - then at the moment in Russia (06/28/14) - this is the best phone!

Upset only lack of USB OTG. :(
Sims is now miniSIM. (average between normal and iPhone)

In the autumn will be S5 mini. It will have a diagonal of 4.5 and there will be no PenTile. But there will be protection from water. The hardware will be exactly the same as in this S3 Duos. Whether there will be a model with two SIM cards or not is not known. And then the price will be clearly more. So you can wait three months and compare ...

Merits

  • Build quality, Processor, Screen, Speed, Dimensions ideal - no spade, Camera, Simple user-friendly menu and interface, Internal memory

disadvantages

  • Speaker, Battery, Lack of display modes, When you start the camera sometimes pops up a window with the inscription weather (I think, is treated with firmware).

Comment
I’ve been looking for an ideal for a long time, but I didn’t find a complete ideal among smarts :) I only picked models with a removable battery, this is a big plus for a smart, you can add. Buy a battery, and even remove it yourself, if that. The assembly is excellent, no backlash, no squeaking, the lid fits snugly, lies pleasantly in the palm of your hand. Glossy plastic does not matter, all the same, all the smarts are better to immediately hide in the case.They were frightened by the poisonousness of Amoled, here it is not there, except that the red and yellow tones are a little oversaturated, the rest are just right, and my personal photos started playing with new colors on the phone screen saver, I don’t have to compare the screen of the laptop. True, I did not find the switching of the screen mode from bright dynamic colors to natural ones, in the simple S3 they were - this is an omission. The speaker is quiet, but not deadly, although you can skip a call if the smart is hidden. We were pleased with the menu against a velvet black color. The charge keeps the day exactly, with moderate calls and average wi-fi throughout the day. I liked the design, smooth, very light and thin, thin screen frames. You don’t need to touch the screen, it flies and switches from semi-touching, oleophobic Pokie and Gorila voice are present (the screen is as pleasant as lacquered). The camera for the phone is adequate, the menu is slightly trimmed compared to the usual S3, the pictures are better viewed on the amold display, they are more beautiful there, the colors are more alive, and on the laptop they look very faded. The Internet is beyond praise, flies and opens at lightning speed, does not slow down at all, with this process it is understandable. I do not know why Samsung smarts are so inclined on the forums, as if there is something devilish in them, an excellent modern powerful device for relatively little money. Take, you will not regret, for simple unpretentious users - it is close to the ideal with such a filling, well, if you do not like it, pick another. Everything in the world is not perfect, but this phone is definitely not second-rate, the company is still well-known and time-tested, you can immediately pick up a branded case and other things, not like all sorts of Chinese.

Merits

  • * Enough 16G memory is built in and 1.5G of RAM
  • * enough productive percent
  • * screen contrast, black as black
  • * there is a light sensor, I don’t know why, but sometimes it isn’t installed, for example, in LG, and it has a +/- tune
  • * normal camera for video call
  • * 8MP camera will do for me better than ultra-pixel httz
  • * hardware button on which you can answer and end a call, relevant for winter
  • * in the saving mode it limits both the frequency of the probe and the consumption of the screen, I liked it, and I have enough performance
  • * removable battery
  • * there is a LED indicator

disadvantages

  • I think that only obvious problems should be written as flaws, but I didn’t find such problems, so everything written below is just an annoying compromise:
  • * The firmware was littered with junk, but you can turn it off, so minus a small
  • * removed OTG, not critical, but sometimes desirable
  • * Infrared port removed, is also not very critical, it would just be interesting
  • * Slippery very body from him, ordered a silicone casing
  • * The speaker is below, so in the case and when it lies it closes and the call is heard quieter.

Comment
The battery, as usual, borders with ease and design, so I will not minus it, it would be thicker and more brutal. The interlocutors said that I was clearly better heard compared to the old O2x. In the firmware there are many useful settings such as adjusting the auto-brightness, vibro different, the event indicator. With built-in memory has its own characteristics, usually the memory is divided into system + programs + user-data, and here they are divided simply by system + programs / data. Those. There is no separate program section, this increases the ability to install applications, but there is a problem with resetting settings - this erases ALL data on the internal memory, this must be taken into account.

Merits

  • + Quality (plus a proven brand)!
  • + Productivity (for Android 4.3) - an excellent processor and 1.5 GB of RAM (there is always enough memory, a percentage perfectly pulls any video content)!
  • + Screen (diagonal including, but this is already subjective) - I also love IPS, but this Super AMOLED is something (although far from S5, of course, far away): contrast (black is just black) and color reproduction!
  • + A very sensitive sensor (but this is from that opera, which you don’t pay attention to at all - it’s perfectly tuned)!
  • + MicroSD support up to 64 GB!
  • + Excellent and fast GPS + Glonass (in the Crimea sees about 20 satellites, most of which are already in 4-5 seconds)!
  • + Stability of connection and connection speed to a Wi-Fi network (3-4 seconds from the moment Wi-Fi is turned on in this device)!
  • + Very bright LED flash (in the dark lights perfectly, and almost does not sit down the battery)!
  • + Removable battery!
  • + Well, by itself - 2 SIM cards (be careful - there are several different modifications - with only two GT-I9300I)!
  • + The mechanical Home button (very convenient when unlocking - I only use the side to turn off the display, I can also configure them to accept and reject the call, respectively, which is very convenient! I would also have to click the Back button to make it mechanical, because often I accidentally cling to it, but so on my other phones too)!
  • As a result, an excellent balance of the apparatus, including its cost (definitely better than any of the Chinese, even for the same money and with a more powerful iron - here it’s good, excellent, but more excellent, everything works, and not looking like when, how, well and no reloads - forget it)!
  • + Availability (even in Russia, and not on order from China) of various accessories, including enlarged batteries of various capacities (up to 7000 mAh) with different options of the back cover (including a book and a rubber case in different colors)!
  • + Who needs a radio! Good standard software shell (4.3)!

disadvantages

  • They too are (nothing critical - I am writing for maximum objectivity):
  • The capacity of the native battery - in general about anything - almost immediately set to 4200 mAh (now it lasts fully for the whole day, only at night, and the thickness is now convenient, otherwise I was worried about dropping it)
  • Sound doesn’t concern native headset at all (although it’s with comfortable in-ear headphones, it’s only good for talking) на you can hear porridge and incompleteness of dynamic range on good acoustics, although without obvious failures, and generally at the integrated level ( motherboards for a computer) sound chips, so that MP3 audio lovers might even please (but FLAC sounds much better here, and even in native headphones), and I'm just very picky and demanding)))
  • I put the camera in minuses, because I expected more from it after various reviews (although there is a suspicion that not only the software for the camera was cut off relative to the original S3) - I put it 4 with a small minus, but I’ll note that I still completely refused to work from a separate camera (I design mostly interiors)
  • In the prone position to the top of the screen (especially on soft surfaces), the sound of the bell can be missed, since only the speaker sounds behind it (I decided to replace the same battery with a book cover with a leg-stand)
  • The eye tracking sensor does not work at all, so it does not affect the lock in any way! Well, I do not use the light sensor, even though it has a 5% adjustment, but I have to set the brightness to the maximum only on a very sunny day under direct sunlight (and everything reads well), and in general I forget about it - the screen helps out!
  • Truncated relative to the original S3: no OTG (and I don’t need it, but a fact), there is no MHL and even banal HDMI as a way to output to an external screen!
  • The native video player does not always play the sound (you cannot do without MX Player) - not all codecs ...
  • But all this is uncritical!

Comment
I use 2.5 months.
Maximum objectively tried to paint above ...
Oh well, yes ... Subjectively ...
I like him very much !!!
Yes, the S5 Duos appeared on the market, yes, it is better, but it is more than 2 times more expensive, and at the same time not 2 times better - 1.5 times! ...
If there is a real opportunity, then take the S5 Duos, and if you need to use its performance and functionality, then take the S3 Duos - it will bring you joy and satisfaction from a well-made choice!
I wish you all only successful purchases (in the sense, in general, always)!

Merits

  • 1. Screen (in all aspects)
  • 2. Work speed (Internet, game responsiveness, etc.)
  • 3The presence of various lotions (NFC, turning on the screen if the smart screen is down with incoming SMS, dialing when approaching the ear, setting the sound for headphones , etc.)
  • 4. The presence of two SIM cards (work is not satisfactory)
  • 5. Very flexible settings in general (I think this feature is for almost all androids)
  • 6. Sound (Headphones in the set pleased, I do not consider myself a music lover, but it is a pleasure to listen to music in them)
  • 7. Wi-Fi reception quality (compare with Galaxy TAB 8.9 p7310 and Lumia 820)
  • 8. Photo and video quality (unfortunately there is no way to compare with the original fellow)
  • Conclusion:
  • This is not all the advantages of this device, fully justifies the money spent on it.

disadvantages

  • I didn’t reveal any real flaws during use, but I’ll think of a couple for the sake of objectivity))
  • 1. Unobtrusive noise during a conversation (possibly in a telecom operator)
  • 2. Unrealistically tired of the built-in weather widget, hangs, is cut down (everyday things, everything is solved ...)
  • 3. The eye-shadowing function does not work correctly, the screen often turns off (maybe I’m not so smart)
  • 4. SIM1 was disconnected (no network), cured by turning it off and back on from settings (a single case, while I do not consider it a glitch)
  • Conclusion:
  • I repeat, no real flaws / defects have been identified, all of the above is just a trifle, which is characteristic of many devices.

Comment
I bought it as a gift to my wife, everything eats away. The experience of using android devices is great, given it is almost a month. As the phone performs its functions decently. As a media device, it is also not bad (although they say it is cut off with respect to the original fellow, say no USB On-The-Go, I think it is not critical).
The fact that it is plastic - I don’t consider it a drawback (the price is not too high), it is scratched ..? curable ...! I also don’t consider it a disadvantage that it doesn’t hold the charge quite well, with average usage of all the functions (Wi-Fi, GPS, internet surfing, games, talking and picking up the phone) by the end of the day, about 30-40% of the charge I think it is relevant for almost all modern devices.
I advise, in this price range it seemed to me out of competition.

disadvantages

Comment
I got GALAXY S III instead, which I was delighted with for a couple of years, but I had to use a second SIM card, I decided to update it and didn’t regret it, the phones are almost the same, I would like to note that I was very pleased with the phone, I got a very high-quality two-symbol phone for that price Super AMOLED screen, quite good battery
