There were reports of the Samsung Galaxy S3, despite being one of the better selling smartphones out there in the market, is not free from its flaws, where one of them included randomly dying which is definitely one of the more irritating experiences to go through as a smartphone user. At least if you know of certain ways to avoid your smartphone running into certain issues, that is livable to a certain extent, but not to get fair warning on what could trigger a random shutdown is downright annoying. Users who experienced this with the Galaxy S3 figured out that the flash memory in the handset was becoming corrupt and failing, hence resulting in the device’s mainboard to die.
It seemed that devices were able to last between 150 and 200 days before giving up the digital ghost permanently, where Samsung would then replace them without asking any further questions. Dutch site Tweakers claimed that the issue can be traced to a problem in the firmware, and this bug can easily be squashed with but a minor update. Apparently, this issue is not widespread, but has affected only a very limited number of Galaxy S3 owners that have the 16GB model.

In a move that won’t surprise many observers, Apple has updated its ongoing infringement lawsuits with Samsung to add six products: the Galaxy S3 (Android 4.1+), Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, Galaxy Tab 8.9, Rugby Pro and Galaxy S3 mini.
While most of us are happy with just the one phone, there are some who need multiple lines for work or personal reasons, and thanks to dual-SIM phones, it is no longer necessary to carry two phones wherever you go. However so far most dual-SIM phones aren’t exactly the most powerful in terms of hardware although they do get the job done, but if you’re in the market for a dual-SIM smartphone with some pretty impressive specs, it looks like Samsung will be giving China some love in the form of a dual-SIM Galaxy S3.
Do you own the Samsung Galaxy S3 on T-Mobile’s network? Well the good news is that it seems that T-Mobile is finally pushing out the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update for your phone! This is certainly good news as not too long ago, a Samsung spokesperson was quoted as saying that Jelly Bean updates for the US-based Galaxy S3 smartphones could only arrive in 2013. This was despite the fact that the update had already begun rolling out in other parts of the world. Then again given that updates in the US usually have to go through the carriers first, this delay was to be expected. In any case there have been reports of several users who have begun downloading the update, so do keep your eyes peeled for the notification before firing up the KIES software. If you have already received the update, let us know in the comments below on how it is treating you!

The Samsung Galaxy S3 is one of the more popular smartphones these days, with the device being used as a comparison against Apple’s iPhone 5. That being said it packs some pretty impressive hardware under the hood, making it a smartphone in high demand. Unfortunately its high demand and its impressive hardware has it pegged at “high-end”, which means that if you wanted to get your hands on the device, you have to be prepared to pay a premium. Well that’s what Black Friday is for, right? It seems that thanks to what looks like a flyer for Sam’s Club, come Black Friday they will be offering the Samsung Galaxy S3 for under a dollar – 96 cents to be exact! Of course this will require you to be tied to a carrier, although there was no mention as to which carriers will be participating in this deal. Unfortunately this deal also appears to be valid in-store only which means that you will probably need to start lining up early if you want in on this deal!
