Galaxy S3, 3 Years Later. Is it still worth it?

The Galaxy S3, 3 Years Later, Is it still worth it?

That is the question here in September of 2015, and the answer is quite simple...

Yes! Of course it still worth it, Not just saying this out of the love I have for the device, I'm saying this because it's still better than getting a pay as you go type phone, with lower specs!

This phone has been to heck and back with me, and many of you know how much I appreciate this device, and how long I tried to prolong the life on it.

Here, I have the i747 model for AT&T, and it is running CM12.1 currently, with that being said I used this device all last week, and still today. It still does what I need it to do, with taking amazing photos, unlike the quality you get from Go-Phones.

There are definitely Go-Phones that are worth it, but in my opinion, not over the Galaxy S3.

This model runs 2GB of RAM, has a dual core 1700Mhz processor, and is still beast.
The international Model could still make the cut with 1GB of RAM and a quad core Samsung Exynos processor.

The screen is still crystal clear on the S3, and you just cannot beat it. Samsung made a rock-solid device here when they made this phone.

All I have to say is YES! This phone is worth it, especially if you can find a good condition, or better Used device. Put that sucker in a case, and be happy! That is, if you're looking for a budget phone. This phone offers you far more than just budget features, for a budget price.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Google Play Edition (USA Versions)

Samsung Galaxy S3 Google Play Edition (USA Versions) I'm excited to bring you this news today, Galaxy S3 users can now download the Google Play Edition of Android (As close as you will get to it) only on USA Versions as of right now. It all started when I got inspired by the sunbeam live wallpaper (How loco?). I decided to disect a Cyanogenmod Rom, first I started with AOKP, but was not satisfied by all the more options. Options are never a bad thing, but when you start with a 4.4.2 Nightly build of AOKP, You don't know where the heck the lockscreen settings are, or in fact I don't think it added any options for the lockscreen ring. They are still working on it, the rom is pretty crystal clear, and pure right now as it is. I decided to revise. I turned to the CM10.2 version, and started to play with it, luckily I soon got all the Google Apps installed correctly with no problem, and now I'm working on a revised build of the 4.4.2 Google Play Edition. I know just...

HTC Sense 7 LEAKED SCREENSHOTS!!!

HTC Sense 7 LEAKED SCREENSHOTS!!! Android "L" or Lollipop, also known as 5.0 is coming soon, well that means an all new Sense is on its way too of course! If you look at the above images you can definitely see how influenced Sense 7 is by Android L. Android 5, L is basically all themed on flat, but vibrant colors. This teal is one color option, but it's very nicely displayed by HTC Sense 7. I'm for sure the HTC One M8, as well as a lot of other HTC devices will be getting this Sense 7 update in the nearing future. There is also talk on a All new HTC Desire coming soon, will it be shipped stock with Sense 7, Android 5, L? I guess its a waiting game for HTC Fanboys. HTC has been on their game here lately with the slickness, and beauty of devices. I got a chance to play around with the HTC One M8 a little bit, and have to say I liked it very much, then the iPhone 6 came out, and I wondered if they were trying to copy some of the style? Get your own style...

LG G2 AT&T (D800) Cyanogenmod Semi-Nightlies

LG G2 AT&T (D800) Cyanogenmod Semi-Nightlies I am currently releasing the D801 (T-Mobile LG G2) Builds for the D800. Basically, I am taking the D801 CM12 Nightlies ever so often, and modifying the kernel for AT&T G2 Devices. I will be releasing these every 5-10 days, until the official CM12 Nightlies start coming in for the D800, which shouldn't be too far along. Everything seems to work so far, last week I had a build that didn't have the Display & Lights option working, but on the Feb. 21st build, it is successfully working flawlessly. Comments below, or on the XDA Thread will be helpful, also reporting to CM the issues because chances are, if you're having a bug, the T-Mobile users are too. This is version 5.0.2, and will be updated from time to time! Working: Everything I see so far. Not Working: Nothing, The Display and Lights option crash was fixed.
