Gigabyte GSmart Saga S3 - User Reviews

  • never buy these phones the worst quality and design. big but lags alot.

  • Hello I need my phone to back pls I the d panel

  • This is not true, still no updates

  • This is a clone phone of BLU 6.0 HD. If you snoop around xda forums concerning this phone you will find that it has an L update available. I highly suggest you get that as it improves the stability, battery life and general performance of this phone. Other than that... if you keep it under JB you will probably be disappointed. Keep in mind that this is a Goliath of a phone and it is just as heavy. Again - with the L update applied it's a fair enough phone.

  • Did u tried plugging phone charger ?

  • I have a problem mobile phone won't charge

  • usually 2nd sim only covers 2G.....

  • This phone is a great giant. It has it all but my problem with it is that i cannot use 3g on sim2. does anyone know how to use 3g on sim 2?

  • for this price the phone is awesome.only some troubles with hearing when i call someone

  • Have you better situation after Lee's instructions when you talking to somebody.

  • very very nice and affordable phone.i like this phone

  • The phone for the price is unbelievable. I wasn't surprised to see the popularity that low. The phone has got it all. Battery, Processor, screen size and the resolution is unspeakable. I doubt most of those other phones out there with similar specification it they could have this quality screen and battery at the same time. I love the unremovable nature of this phone. It stops infiltration to some extent. Excellent work done Gigabyte!

  • Its actually a very nice phone but got the screen broken but couldn't get where yo fix it here in Nigeria. Please if anyone knows where it can be fixed in Nigeria, just reply here. Thanks.

  • The phone is great. I don't have NOVA but I play Modern Combat 4 and it runs smootlysmoothly

  • Please have you tried playing NOVA3 in it? If you have, how was it? Any lag? Whats the overall performance of gaming on this device. Thanks. I am considering buying it in two days.

  • both sum 3g after update

  • I have this phone about from July. Batterry is amazing! Screen is pretty good too! Only problem there is because it is giant

  • Here you go, tested and certified and it meets all EU requirements. The link is from their official website.

  • Does this phone equiped with compass/magnetis sensor?

  • Desperate to find a supplier of this model, if anone knows a source please post here and I will contact you :)

  • Awesome phone! Best I've ever owned. Only had the sage S3 for a week and the only flaws I have found is; 1:Could do with tripling the RAM to 3GB rather then 1GB. 2:Allow for easier updates over GSM and not *just* WiFi or easier way to update from folder in SDcard! 3: Allow second SIM full 3G WCDMA and all the other frequencies to be used! I am also running my sage S3 out of the box on a normal microSD card with 64GB and will be trying cards up to 256GB. Gigabyte state only up to 32GB sadly! Maybe the upgrade to the 4G bands but you can't have everything! Awesome phone I suggest you buy one!

  • it supports usb-on-the-go

  • Hi,I have a problem with audio.When talking to somebody its very quiet,The volume is up.

  • Try this, hope it helps: SOLUTION: 1. Enter Engineering Mode - Dial *#*#3646633#*#* 2. Go to Hardware Testing>Audio>Normal Mode. 3. Select "Sph" in type. 4. Select "level 6" in Level. 5. Enter 160 in value. 6. Press Set. 7. Restart the phone the settings might be a little different for some phones, Put should do the job....

  • sar????

  • do you know the sar ???

  • How can go to hidden menu to boost my handset speaker because of EU law i cant hear shit???

  • I bought it couple days ago. Looks fine and has a feel of a much pricier phone. Battery is 3000 mAh but since it has large display it lasts aboute 1.5 day

  • Best phone!
