Galaxy S3 16gb for £319 in Asia.
Just thought I'd post a deal that I have found for the S3 in blue and white in Asda for £319.

In that case i'm off to Asia then, save myself a few quid on an S3 hehe. It's ok typos, happens to the best of us now and then.Good price to be honest. Attractive option for someone who was looking at an S4, could just grab this and wait for the S5

Kicking myself for the typing error as I corrected the one in the main text, just missed the subject.

Would have to get around least the 32gb version though (minimum) due to storage and I actually like a few of the extras Samsung put on, but you can never have the perfect phone with the updates and less bloat on the Nexus. |

Like on there when someone posts a genuine good deal...ie an item is a saving from the usual price...ie its a DEAL, someone always comes alongs and says that something else is better/cheaper..... whether thats the case or not, the point is the OP is pointing out to the rest that its a good price.... take it or leave it. Anyhoo.... |

I thought the Nexus would be perfect for me, I had an SGS2 and even though it was unbranded we seemed to be last in line for updates, so I said to hell with this and went to the Nexus, but I do actually miss some of the added features you get on the likes of Touchwiz, Stock is a bit bland and very minimal

You can get virtually all the features with apps. What sort of thing do you miss? Also have you tried a different launcher, such as Nova?
Smartstay (keeps the screen on when you are looking at it) - I love this as hate having to constantly tap screen to keep it awake and it works well for me (even in darkness as it seems to work as I have the screen brightness at full). Directcall (just put the phone to your ear when you are reading a text and it phones the contact) - not 100% sure if this is just Samsung or Android though? The alert thing that makes the phone vibrate when you pick it up if you have a missed call or text etc |

Not sure - it's £23 more than the one I posted?
Was only one in stock though haha. But looking at price history it seems to have been under £320 for a while. |

Possibly replicable - it's never I feature I've wanted (from reading text message to making a phone call is just two taps, and to be honest if I'm looking at a text then I'm far more likely to be wanting to reply via text than call!)Quote:

Replicable via app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ny.pickupviber..Granted, these aren't chicken-and-egg - the Samsung version quite definitely comes along first, then a buggy, alpha/beta quality clone, but it really isn't long before there's a functional app that replicates (and in some cases, betters) any built-in feature on Samsung, HTC, etc. phones. |

If you have the money to buy a branded phone,well good,but you are getting ripped off big time,buy a unbranded phone for less than half the price!

Something to bear in mind when I look for my next phone. The call thing I use all the time as I prefer phone calls to text messages a lot of the time, but everyone's different I guess. |
