This phones a beast, overall one of the best Samsung has ever released. I've had mine for almost 3 years and I've dropped it numerous times and it's accidentally been splashed with water where it's charging port is. I didn't dry it off, it just worked like nothing happened. After all that with almost 3 years usage, I've never had to change the battery, there isn't a single scratch on the screen and it runs perfectly smooth as when I first got it. Albeit the paint on the top of the phone has partly chipped away, but that's the extent of the "damage. Samsung, you're a beast and I'm waiting until your S6 gets announced March 1st or 2nd so I can pre-order that boss.
it feels flimsy and weak, CAUSE IT IS FLIMSY AND WEAK. i love your videos, but if you see other people review/drop the s3 they say it is flimsy and weak.
For example us living very north, where it's -25 C during the winter. All u have to do is take a walk outside and ur phone'll reach that freezer temperature.
As many people said just drop your phone in the snow or in the car while its winter and you reach the freezer temperatue very quickly + the *oven* test is for if your in the sahara or something :P
I dropped my iphone 4s on concrete like 6 times in a row because my headphones were plugged in and i kept standing up and all that happened was it chipped on the corner. :)
Awesome phone! A friend of mine was on a river bank (the ground wasn't strong enough) and he fell in the water. I gave him my hand. When I started pulling him out of the water, I fell in the water too. I slipped. We both have S3s. Both of us were in the water for a short time. No damage to the phones whatsoever! Thank you Samsung for making awesome stuff!
The only torture tests I will watch is if its the always on show, no other ones!!! And molly woods is the only one that makes it fun to watch!!! I watch these episodes everyday
You're the man here! I also had many iPhone's and guess what, once I bought my Galaxy S3 I swore I will never go back to any iPhone.Nice choice, keep it up :D
I hope people realize that tile and concrete are nearly identical. It's a completely moot point to argue about such a thing. Also, the only time the smoothness of the floor would matter would be if it had large, hard, protruding bumps or spikes. A minuscule texture differences doesn't change a damn thing. Another point, The first time she showed the phone, she was not displaying the Home Screen. She actually happened to be showing the app tray. I'm done; have fun.
This didn't surprise me. I have s3 and I can say from my own experience- this phone is A MONSTER. It can survive everything. My little cousin once buried my s3 in sand while I wasn't watching, sand was everywhere, but it turned on like it was nothing! I love my s3 :D
The purpose of Samsung Galaxy S3 is to call people, texts, and using many programs that help you to use it easily. not for freezing it, to heating it, to dropping it to scratching it. just to know dear.
It also really depends on how something hits the ground. You can drop it, throw it and chuck it...with not a scratch. Then one day it slips out of your hand, lands on the carpet hitting the right spot and shatters your screen. I had a phone that flew out the window on the freeway and skipped a few times before going into a field it didnt get a scratch, but then dropped it on a table and the screen just shattered.
I put a screen protector on the first day I had it. That night at work I noticed several deep scratches in one small area on the screen from the screen rubbing on my keys as I walked. I was thrilled the protective film protected the screen, perfectly. The protectors are something like 6 for $2 on ebay shipped. Thats not expensive. Well worth it. Other than that this is a great vid, liked the drop tests.
This test was very impartial compared to the iPhone 5 torture test. They dried it for 4 days compared to less than two for the iPhone 5. The iPhone 5 was subjected to concrete drops while the s3 was dropped indoors... The list goes on and I think the more durable phone is the iPhone 5.
From what I've seen in other drop tests the Samsung screen is pretty sturdy but like all other phones, doesn't like being dropped face down. If you do hit face down, or edge first, you'll probably get a crack without a little rubber case.
Its exacly a pretty simple answer, when the freezer opens air flows in and in the air there are watermolecules. And when the freezer closes they stay in the freezer and when the watermolecules freeze they clamp on objects. No i am not that smart but i just had this subject at physics :p
Remarkable to see it explode apart on dropping,then just start up like nothing happened. The water test is amazing, I live on a boat and water is all around (anti-zombie). I just ordered an Otterbox Defender because I've started playing Ingress and that involves lots of stumbling around pavements staring at the screen, so I will drop it!
You can totally tell she is a Samsung fangirl. She was way harder on the iPhone 5. In the drop test for this phone, it was on smooth floor and iPhone 5 was dropped on rough concrete.
I own a GS3, and I have seen the light scratches she got on that phone, on my own S3. The scratches are extremely light, you'd only notice them in the correct light. When the screen is on, they aren't noticeable.
you guys do know that cold is good for computing hardware and the only thing being sluggish in the cold test was most probably the screens response time
I must be extremely unlucky. I've managed to break the screens on two S3s, once by dropping onto a road and another by dropping onto wooden flooring. Both screens smashed instantly. I've never dropped any of my phones before;the S3 is just too slippery! Good call Samsung on making the S4 more 'square'. Although I do have insurance, I really hate having to pay £75 each time I need a repair actioned.
I'm a fan of both Samsung, and Apple. I support both companies, and I also think that Samsung fanboys and Apple fanboys should stop fighting because its pointless! I'm just saying i think that ijae guy has a point, and this compared with the iPhone 5 torture test was a tiny bit unfair. Don't hate on me, I like both Apple and Samsung. ;)
she put the iphone 5 in a 200 degree oven and the s3 in a 190 degree lizard cage. she used the iphone 5 as a hockey puck and slid it on concrete ? but not to the s3 really unfair
Galaxy S series are pretty though compared to the competition. Although, I did manage to break my S2. Replacing the screen is quite expensive on an OLED device as well. Anyway, a bad drop can kill it, but you'd have to have really bad luck to have one.
You may want to go get a refund then, because that wasn't a galaxy S3. The s3's have gorilla glass, and a DROP (not throw) from 2 feet would not break it. You must have bought a fake. I have dropped mine off the top of a two story house onto solid concrete, and although it cracked the plastic housing, the screen survived. (With a leather case).
My current device is this phone (the lte version though with 2gn ram) and I can confirm in my experience these phones are beasts when it comes to destruction and carnage. Ive dropped mine various times and punched it up the wall a couple of times and apart from the battery comin out and some minor chips on the back cover this phone is still working well. Please note these phones tend to get a bit laggy after a few months
the water test is alittle unfair when most people spill anything on something electric most people grab it up right away so the submerge is alright but as soon as its covered with water you should grab it to be fair
These tests were a bit soft compared to her other torture tests. It is a good phone but I'd say the iPhone 5 was put under more pressure and was tortured more harshly.
So you're saying Ios is better than android ? very well, but the structures and insides of the new samsung phones are FAR better than of the Iphones themselves.
The phone should be operational in all tests, and the testing is not consistent enough. People that don't know anything about how their phones actually work shouldn't be doing these tests.
Tiles can be just as hard as concrete, but it depends on the base beneath. Oven and lizard cage, doesn't matter. The temperature was almost even, stop whining.
I still don't get it! every time she puts a device in the freezer (iPhone 4s,5, Macbook air, samsung gallaxy s3, note 2) and she still is surprised that it has ice on the screen or anywhere on the device! example: 1:03
This has to be a test model. My Samsung's screen is completely shattered just from falling out of my pocket and it didn't even land screen down. This phone needs to come with a fragile sticker.
For the IPhone 5 drop test, she dropped it on two steps of stairs made of concrete and landed on hard concrete but the s3 was dropped inside on a softer surface...
1. This is not a comparison between phones... It isn't Samsung GS3 vs IPhone 5 2. If you were to put the GS3 in an oven the poly carbon would melt at temperatures exceeding 200 degrees. 3. The drop test is unfair for the GS3 though.
Will it scratch? not from a scratch test, as gorilla glass 2> metal, but screen protectors are still worth it to protect it from stuff like sand that can easily scratch your screen
Samsung is smart, they use plastic back covers to reduce scratches. But the removable parts are irritating... although it helps. So you can't really compare it to the iPhone as the iPhone they use metallic glass back...
well leaving it the oven resembles leaving it in the 110°f sun for an hour or so.. that might even do more damage than the oven would do because of the direct sunlight so it really isnt pointless...
That phone did not survive the water test. You can tell by the shitty green tint on the screen when she turns it on. Also we can't tell the long term effect of water damage.My S3 still works after taking a swim but I don't know if it will in a few months time.
Wow! I ♡ my Samsung Galaxy S3! This phone is awesome! I knew it was a great phone when I was first thinking about buying it because I always do research on phones before I buy them so... yeah. Thank you for this video Mam!
20 degrees for a cold test and not turning it on when its warm? Any midwesterner can tell you their phones work after being left in the car in the winter or summer. Try something difficult! Also does she not know the difference between the phone being off and the screen being off?
5:23 you can hear in the background someone plugging their iPhone in the chrger.
Omg xD
I alao hear that . 😂
MissyTheDog yes
i was going to say that jajajajajaj
It is part of the music.
This makes me feel soooo confident about my s3
Yeah me too :))
Me to
ME TOO LOL
My s3 didn't survive a facedown drop WITH a case on it but on the bright side the case protected it from spiderweb cracks and it is still functional
Lol soo true.
Boy 6 years later, Dust proof, water proof, scratch proof, bezel proof, everything man!
8 years later, even cheap phones now got everything needed 2 years ago, and the high priced phones got new tech and stuff
If it was the note 7 everybody would be dead by the heat test ends.
When she started rubbing the keys across the screen, I shrieked in terror. I have an s3...with an overpriced screen protector.
***** same here man!!
i just love it!!
"hot box this thing" anyone know what im talking about lolz

Now I bet your waiting for the s-21, the good old days when we all waited for the newest tech, now we got it all
it feels flimsy and weak, CAUSE IT IS FLIMSY AND WEAK. i love your videos, but if you see other people review/drop the s3 they say it is flimsy and weak.
First of all... who leaves their phone in a freezer? Some of.these tests are for.entertainment, not actual research.
The freezer test is supposed to be like leaving your phone in the car in the winter
For example us living very north, where it's -25 C during the winter. All u have to do is take a walk outside and ur phone'll reach that freezer temperature.
u prob live somewhere hot.
As many people said just drop your phone in the snow or in the car while its winter and you reach the freezer temperatue very quickly + the *oven* test is for if your in the sahara or something :P
I'm a ocean lifeguard and my phone overheats. I put it in the freezer to cool it off. it never messes it up. I keep check on it though. haha
when she said it was 20 degrees after it came out of the freezer i thought "why is it hot" then I realized...
Ive had my s3 from the day they first came out, it still looks new its been the best phone ever
I love your videos. They are fun to watch and aren't usually boring. Keep up the good work Molly!
Siri says: "Very funny. I mean... not funny ha-ha, but funny."
Now do a cruel one with the S4
Anyone here is 2021 haha. Thanks for recommending, RUclips
S3 all the way
I dropped my iphone 4s on concrete like 6 times in a row because my headphones were plugged in and i kept standing up and all that happened was it chipped on the corner. :)
3:19 is funny
Nostalgia hits hard.
Awesome phone! A friend of mine was on a river bank (the ground wasn't strong enough) and he fell in the water. I gave him my hand. When I started pulling him out of the water, I fell in the water too. I slipped. We both have S3s. Both of us were in the water for a short time. No damage to the phones whatsoever!
Thank you Samsung for making awesome stuff!
I love my s3 so much!
When you dont know what hotbox means..
This is stupid. You went easy on this compared to the iPhone 4S. In addition to all these, you also threw the iPhone 4S down the stairs... twice...
finally one real test that is not apple manipulated. good job.
Best phone ever !
I still use it haha .
I think these phones do so well in the drop test because the components split into three, essentially distributing the force of the fall
The only torture tests I will watch is if its the always on show, no other ones!!! And molly woods is the only one that makes it fun to watch!!! I watch these episodes everyday
If you did the heat test first then the phone would be cool. Down by the freezer test
for some reason I like the way she reviews things.
You're the man here! I also had many iPhone's and guess what, once I bought my Galaxy S3 I swore I will never go back to any iPhone.Nice choice, keep it up :D
This was painful to watch, but I'm impressed with how sturdy this phone is!
I hope people realize that tile and concrete are nearly identical.
It's a completely moot point to argue about such a thing.
Also, the only time the smoothness of the floor would matter would be if it had large, hard, protruding bumps or spikes. A minuscule texture differences doesn't change a damn thing.
Another point, The first time she showed the phone, she was not displaying the Home Screen. She actually happened to be showing the app tray.
I'm done; have fun.

Samsung builds all of their products to last a lifetime.. Seriously, any and all Samsung products i have owned never ONCE gave up on me.
Me seeing this video ( in 2021 ) : Yeah right confirmed, the S3 is the torture test survivor...
The Galaxy S5 : Hold my beer...
I put a screen protector on the first day I had it. That night at work I noticed several deep scratches in one small area on the screen from the screen rubbing on my keys as I walked.

im glad for this video, im forever leaving my galaxy note 2 in freezers and gold fish bowls, so this is such a relief
I own a GS3, and I have seen the light scratches she got on that phone, on my own S3. The scratches are extremely light, you'd only notice them in the correct light. When the screen is on, they aren't noticeable.
My mom upgrades her phone every 2 years she has had the s1 white, s3 blue, s5 gold, s7 edge gold, and the brand new s9 plus rose.
10 degree difference between the tank and oven tests. also at the end of the S3 torture test, you wouldn't know it went through a torture test.
The color definitely looked off in the end, but that may have been the camera.
Which is why the Galaxy S3 survived all tests and the iPhone 5 failed not 1, but 2 tests. Your point has been proven mentally, but not logically.
you guys do know that cold is good for computing hardware and the only thing being sluggish in the cold test was most probably the screens response time
5:22 who heard the ckassic iphone charging sound????
It's pretty funny how both the highest rated comments are saying the same exact thing.
they're just ideal tests if you leave your phone in the car during winter or summer, and just testing the screen for scratch resistance
The heat test shocked me... That meant the phone was in lock the whole time! Unbelievable!
I must be extremely unlucky. I've managed to break the screens on two S3s, once by dropping onto a road and another by dropping onto wooden flooring. Both screens smashed instantly. I've never dropped any of my phones before;the S3 is just too slippery! Good call Samsung on making the S4 more 'square'.
Although I do have insurance, I really hate having to pay £75 each time I need a repair actioned.
I don't like the amount of inconsistency in every episode I would like to see precise thing exactly the same for every device to really compair
I'm a fan of both Samsung, and Apple. I support both companies, and I also think that Samsung fanboys and Apple fanboys should stop fighting because its pointless!
I'm just saying i think that ijae guy has a point, and this compared with the iPhone 5 torture test was a tiny bit unfair.

she put the iphone 5 in a 200 degree oven and the s3 in a 190 degree lizard cage.
she used the iphone 5 as a hockey puck and slid it on concrete ?
but not to the s3 really unfair
These phones probably are like
"Oh, I'm sorry master, I won't do it again"
If you watch this video backwards, it's the story of a CNET employee with magical powers repairing a broken s3
How can there be ice at 20 degrees? It's 25 degrees here and I'm in a t-shirt, not a freezer.
When are you going to torture test a Samsung note 8?great show as always.
its fake samsung no samsung mark at the back
look at 4:42 when she takes it out . whats that ?
borderex bro no notthe samsung notes but like the signature at the low corner
TEMPLARKILLER2010 the phone is real . if it was fake it wouldn't survive the test
ok
SAMSUNG THIS IS WHY I LOVE YOU GUYS.
Alright i can now be 100% confident that i have not wasted my money on this phone
It really is an amazing phone
Feature packed and durable
Dude the S3 is pretty much the same size as the S4. The only difference is .2 inches
Ever leave your phone in the car on a hot summer day? Or the winter? Most of us have cars that don't maintain 70 degrees constantly.
I have the S3 and it is not what appears on the video.
Why do I have a hard time believing that? The S3 is blazing fast and has LTE and the 3GS has 3G and is slow compared to the phones we have now.
Galaxy S series are pretty though compared to the competition.
Although, I did manage to break my S2. Replacing the screen is quite expensive on an OLED device as well. Anyway, a bad drop can kill it, but you'd have to have really bad luck to have one.

i have a gs3, but i felt like you gave the gs3 so many passes in this test for no reason lmao
These tests were a bit soft compared to her other torture tests. It is a good phone but I'd say the iPhone 5 was put under more pressure and was tortured more harshly.
So you're saying Ios is better than android ? very well, but the structures and insides of the new samsung phones are FAR better than of the Iphones themselves.
this women hate smartphones! look the happyness on his face!!!
You dropped the iPhone 5 on concrete and the S3 on tile. You put the iPhone 5 in the oven and the S3 in a lizard cage. Kinda unfair if you ask me.
The phone should be operational in all tests, and the testing is not consistent enough. People that don't know anything about how their phones actually work shouldn't be doing these tests.

LOL the S3 has a type of shatter-proof plastic back. It would still have survived if you shuffled it on the concrete.
U dropped this on the kitchen floor while u dropped and shuffled a iPhone 5 on the concrete. That is not fair!
Those little tiny cameras that u see all the time on torture tests, I think they are water-proof
Will it scratch? not from a scratch test, as gorilla glass 2> metal, but screen protectors are still worth it to protect it from stuff like sand that can easily scratch your screen
I hate 30 second ads that can't be skipped
you arent torturing the phone, you r torturing me! *cry*
Samsung is smart, they use plastic back covers to reduce scratches. But the removable parts are irritating... although it helps. So you can't really compare it to the iPhone as the iPhone they use metallic glass back...
If you're going to heat the phone up, what the hell is the point of letting it cool down!?
Oh come on I was hearing that Old iPod charger and sound and I was like oh my goodness I found it my iPod
well leaving it the oven resembles leaving it in the 110°f sun for an hour or so.. that might even do more damage than the oven would do because of the direct sunlight so it really isnt pointless...
Yeah, it's strange that physics still works for phones.
That phone did not survive the water test. You can tell by the shitty green tint on the screen when she turns it on. Also we can't tell the long term effect of water damage.My S3 still works after taking a swim but I don't know if it will in a few months time.
Wow! I ♡ my Samsung Galaxy S3! This phone is awesome! I knew it was a great phone when I was first thinking about buying it because I always do research on phones before I buy them so... yeah. Thank you for this video Mam!
I'm gonna get this phone. I always forget my phone in the freezer...
i have a galaxy s3
so proud of it , really love it
20 degrees for a cold test and not turning it on when its warm? Any midwesterner can tell you their phones work after being left in the car in the winter or summer. Try something difficult!
