I've had this phone since Oct 2014...
It's a midrange phone with very decent specs.
My pros.
-dimensions, I still can't get used to these new huge phones, so this size is my limit.
-display quality, very good one hd (720), excellent black colors.
-processor and RAM allow good experience browsing and multitasking (I don't play games)
-Good camera, actually, better than newer phones like Moto Gs
-Although battery is 2100mha it lasts a day using WiFi or 3, listening to music or Spotify... 1&1/2 days without heavy use.
-enough ROM (16 GBS)
-phone overall won't give you have a negative frustrating experience. Still good budget phone. Because of previous point, S3 neo is better than Moto Gs, for instance...
-as Samsungs are popular, there's plenty of economic hardware replacement and technical support. For instance, replacing a Nexus 5 broken display here in Chile is expensive since model is not popular in my country. You need to buy lcd on eBay and then find someone to do the job here... Not the case with any Samsung.
My cons.
-poor display protection, I've already changed twice. First time phone dropped from a 30 cms height and display got broken. The same happened a second time...it seems it's true there's no Gorilla glass protection included in this model.
-after changing displays, notification led, capacitive buttons and front camera got darker, blurred and full of noise... So I don't use any of them anymore (I'm a little bit obsessed with perfection). Anyway it's not phone's fault, it's the pseudo expert who replaced display.
-moreover (and for the same above-mentioned reason) proximity sensor doesn't work, it's covered, so I used an xposed module to deactivate it.
-Although we should get more support from manufacturer, since it's a 2014 phone, Samsung is not updating it anymore... Forget about lollipop, dream about Marshmallow. (kitkat is amazingly stable anyway).
-Samsung never released source codes, so no chance of getting Cyanogenmod or other custom ROMS without paying the price for. I know there's a lollipop version around, but second Sim doesn't work, NFC doesn't as well and battery drains fast.
-if you are a gamer, I think this phone's RAM will fall short.
-poor availability of fancy covers, cases, battery doors and accessories in general as it is not a popular phone.
...as a conclusion, phone is better optimized than a Chinese phone and most midrange phones (Alcatels, Xperias C and other Samsungs), it has better specs (Rom memory and display quality) than famous Moto Gs. And for me, it has a better size than all new phones, except Sony Xperia Compacts.

husain, 03 Jan 2016I am buy this phone on 11th may 2015 about an 8 months ago.this is a very very good mobile in ... moreYour completly right.
S3 neo have otg supported hardware.
Its just dosent give out enough power for otg.
So we can use an external power source
With y type otg cable.
Also this is mainly kernal problem.
I hope samsungs gives out an update to it
So s3 neo can become otg supported.
I cant afford the origional flagship s3's price. Which supports otg and also a ps3 controller.

:), 07 Jan 2016Hey...anyone please help me.
My s3 neo camera dont have clarity..it looks bad than real pictu... moreTry going to settings.
And change the resoulition.
As far as i know the quality of pictures mostly depends on sensor.
And s3 neo's sesor is very good.
So try to keep your s3 still when taking photoes.
Dont move it too much or they become unclear.
Speacially our hands are not still when taking selfies.
I hope you find it useful.
