You're not going to get sensible answers here as we are all S3 owners.
Also, please see this:

Spec-wise - the Xperia. A Snapdragon CPU, twice the RAM, a bigger battery, better camera, waterproof.
Your call though.

Hello everybody!
In the nxt year i'll buy the successor of my faithful Xperia Neo V, but In January is the CES, in March is the MWC and i don't want to buy a cellphone that will be obsolete very quickly, So I have taken the decision to buy a Win8.1 Tab (Toshiba Encore 64GB) to do a the "hard work", wait above June-July with my Neo V and buy a very powerful cellphone powered by Snapdragon 800 (Maybe the Xperia Z1s):fingers-crossed:
In my country, one of the carriers is selling a Nokia Lumia 520 in a very cheap price and I think this: With the Nokia Lumia i'll have more performance than with my old Xperia Neo V (I don't care the topic of Google Play vs Windows Store) I want to try WP8 And if I like the ecosystem maybe buy a flagship.
I have another little problem and is: Maybe i'll fall in despair and my only 2 options are: Moto G 16GB or Xperia SP and drop the buy option of the Toshiba Encore
go for moto g .. affordable low price upto update on the way .. google company , xperia sp is great but price is more compared to moto g and we can hope kitkat update but they release very lately

IMHO .. Z1s, or Z1 mini ... its worth to wait. S800, Adreno 330, 2 gigs ram .. of of that on 720p screen? the phone would be solid for next 2 years for sure.
I had Arc S before but it died, so i had to get 2nd hand used Neo V because it was damn awwsome back then.

What do you mean by external USB camera?
Does anyone else have the Samsung Neon flip cover?
I can only get it to glow for the stock sms app and calls.
No glow notifications for Whatsapp or Viber, or is there a hidden setting I haven't found?
Thanks

The 2017 are so new, I went with the Galaxy A5 2017 instead of jumping on the A7, I was afraid the A7 would be just too big for me.
I have a Sony Xperia Z3+ and like it for the most part but it doesnt have fast charging and the battery is not all day, Many reviews say that the battery will last all day on the A5 2017, since I get it tonight I will set it up and test tomorrow and see.
I know its a step down from an s7 but its only a short step from what I see on the reviews.
At half the price new ( 329 here in USA) it seems like a bargain

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 mini. How would an A3 2017 be in comparison? Would it be a justifiable upgrade? I got marshmallow on my S5 mini now and it works so much better but I think I might like to save for a new phone and I need something in a similar size and form-factor. The best I could find was the A3 2017 but I am unsure, can someone walk me through how much of an upgrade it might be and what the benefits would be?

The A3 2017 is way better, first you will get a bigger screen ( 4.7") compared to the 4.5" found on the S5 mini, you get a 13mp camera vs 8mp on your current device, 0.5GB more RAM and way better Soc ( Exynos 7870 octa ), also the A3 2017 have a bigger battery (2350mah) compared to the smaller 2100mah found on the S5 mini.
Software wise you have the latest grace ux on the A3, which is lighter, faster and more beautiful,with AOD support like on the S7 edge.
You get IP68 certification, dust and water proof resistance, a fingerprint scanner and a way better design, so premium.
So yes it's worth, the A3 7 blows the S5 mini of water.
Thanks! Do we know what the update/OS upgrade cycle will be on the A3 2017? Like, will I get new OS for 2 years, 3 years etc? If I go for a new phone like this A3 2017 (almost certainly going to be the one as I love Samsung and need sub 5") I would want it to last me for as long as possible.
Hello everyone... Need some advice about which one of these 3 to purchase. Just can't decide on whether I should go for a wicked dual camera or the power of a SD 820. Im not a heavy gamer but I do want a reliable phone. Is UMIDIGI a good brand? On paper it looks pretty decent, really confused, and I only have a a budget of $350 Australian. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Do you plan to root or install custom room?
Check which bands are supported?
What about zuk z2 or z2 pro?

Hi, is this still an open thread or did you buy that already?
I got a leeco max 2 here and a redmi note tree. For daily use i take the leeco, because of his power, the 21MP Camera, which i use in JPG/RAW mode for taking amazing shots. And with cuoco92's rom which i use a longer time now, i feel happy to get a 'build in' adblocker (adaway is installed).
I hope this helps.
