Poor build quality
Touchwiz is full of bloatware
Battery could be better
Poor sound quality
Picture is on the warm side
Rivals have greater detail and contrast levels
Intermittent lag when multitasking
Gesture and eye-tracking features won't suit everyone
Plasticky build quality
TouchWiz can be laggy
Almost too many features and some like Smart Scroll don't work all that well

Priced phones

Plastic build feels cheap
Design is almost identical to the older S3
Interface can be confusing
Battery life isn't great
16GB model has limited space for apps
Too many gimmicks
Too big for some
Design lacks class
There are so many options they can be overwhelming
