Samsung Galaxy S3 Performance Issues Roundup: Overheating, Charging and Wi-Fi [VIDEO]
Ever since its release, Samsung’s most-anticipated smartphone, the Galaxy S3, is plagued by a spate of annoying issues ranging from overheating and undercharging to Wi-Fi connectivity problems. The leading Android smartphone has even failed to justify its price tag of £500 with a flurry of performance issues right out of the box. Samsung

The Samsung Galaxy S3 was released on 3 May, at an event in London and that was followed by a market release, for the UK, initially, by the end of the month. Since then the phone has released in a number of other countries across the world and most recently the South Koreans confirmed a US release by mid-June, across all five major carriers in that country.

Back in the UK, a number of retailers have taken to offering attractive deals and discounts. Service providers, meanwhile, are offering multiple plans and deals.
