The massive success of this phone helped propel Samsung into becoming the largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world.
In a word, yes.
The glossy finish is also prone to collecting fingerprints, which I don’t think that anybody really likes.

The light all but disappears when it is not illuminated - a pretty cool effect.
Not that the Galaxy S III is really lacking for screen space, but every little bit helps.
Both switches were solid and easy to suss out when you have the phone held to your ear.
The big battery is user replaceable, which should make power users very happy.
All in all, the Galaxy S III is a very well put together and smartly-designed phone.
The only real complaints I have with it are its plasticky feel and exceptionally glossy finish.
But for sheer functionality, the Galaxy S III fits the bill.
