Short Review

  • The Samsung G3812B Galaxy S3 Slim features a compact design with dimensions of 133 x 66 x 9.7 mm and a weight of 139 grams, making it portable and easy to handle.
  • Its 4.52-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 244 ppi, which provides decent clarity for basic tasks.
  • Powered by a quad-core 1.2 GHz processor and 1GB of RAM, the performance is adequate for everyday applications but may struggle with more demanding tasks.
  • The rear camera has a 5 MP resolution with autofocus, allowing for basic photography, though it lacks optical image stabilization.
  • Battery life is supported by a 2100 mAh capacity, but it does not feature fast or wireless charging options.
  • Running on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) with TouchWiz UI, the software experience is somewhat dated compared to modern standards.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device includes a standard headphone jack, catering to users who prefer wired audio.
  • Available in black and white, the build lacks water resistance features.
  • Overall, the Galaxy S3 Slim is a basic smartphone suitable for users with minimal requirements.
