How to update your Galaxy S3 Mini with Android 5.0 Lollipop.
As you know, Samsung is no longer releasing an OTA update for the Galaxy S3 Mini. Thus, the phone is stuck on KitKat OS, unless of course you want to keep the devices officially. But, if you are ready to raise the operational version up a bit, then we recommend that you check the recommendation below.

How to update galaxy s3 mini, from android 5.0 lollipop
As you know, device generations are changing today at a tremendous pace. The good news is that the developers do not immediately forget about support and release updates. Today we will discuss updates for the Samsung Galaxy S3.
Updating via the device menu
Usually, the most correct and easiest way to make any changes to a smartphone is that provided by the manufacturer. The fact is that when using it, you are most likely protected by the developers from the possibility of causing irreparable harm to your gadget. If not, then before taking critical actions, you will be warned a fair number of times and will be sure to inform you about how it all can end and whether you really want to do it.
If you go to the menu item "Settings"(it is shown in the figure), by scrolling down a little, you can find the item "About device"... It contains information about the firmware, the gadget's filling, as well as about the installed software components.
There you will also find the item "System update" and when you click on it, your phone will start searching for updates, then download and install them. A reboot is required after the performed operations in order to activate the updated version of the software.
This software is included with the Galaxy S3. If for some reason you could not update your phone automatically, you can use this method. The interface is also intuitive, so there shouldn't be any difficulties.
1. Connect your phone to your computer using the micro USB cable (supplied with your phone).
2. Run Kies on the PC with the operating Windows system or Mac.
4. If nothing happens, lower the tab "Notification Areas" on your phone. If it says it is linked as a camera, click on this area to change your USB connection option. Select connection as "Media device".
5. Wait for the update process to complete.
Done, your Samsug galaxy S3 is promoted.
Samsung Galaxy S3 is the new Android flagship.
So in the end, what everyone expected happened! Months later, a huge amount of rumors and unconfirmed data, Samsung almost a couple of minutes ago showed its own new device from Galaxy line – Galaxy S3
Galaxy S3 update to Android 5.1.1
In this video, I made a mini review on renewal system, if you wish, a more detailed analysis of this update.
Outside, the novelty looks very, very presentable: smooth contours, a fairly narrow body and several colors. For some reason this device reminds me Galaxy Note but with one huge difference, the Galaxy S3 is neater.
The novelty can be tested with a delightful 4.8-inch SuperAMOLED HD screen with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels, an 8 megapixel camera and a rather impressive 2100 mAh battery.
As they say in the Samsung Galaxy S III - this is a phone that sees, hears and answers. The new product implements several special functions that are focused on the delicate interaction of the device with its owner.
- S-Voice function, (some analogue of Apple Siri) recognizes the voice of the owner and makes his commands.
- With the help of Smart stay, the device itself will be aware when the user is reading a book or surfing the network, and will maintain the brightness at the same level so as not to strain the eyes.
- The S Beam function allows you to exchange multimedia content with other users of the Samsung Galaxy S3 simply by touching two devices, the phone itself will start transferring files, and at the end it will simply notify the owner.
- The Buddy photo share function will itself find and send the photos taken by the camera of the device to all those who are captured on them.
SGS3 also knows how to connect to smart TVs wirelessly using the AllShare Cast application. However, it is not clear yet it will work with all TVs. Also, everything that happens on the phone display can be displayed on several computers connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
As I mentioned above, the resolution of the main camera is 8 megapixels, and it will be able to amuse all lovers of mobile photography with indescribable speed and the ability to take a series of pictures of 20 frames. After that, the user himself can choose any frames he likes from this series, and simply delete others.
As for the price - 29,990 rubles in Russia, the start of sales is scheduled for June. In Europe, the device will cost about 550-600 Euro, depending on the country (2nd half of May).
Finally, the SGS 3 will be available in 3 different versions: 16, 32 and 64GB. Well, for those who will miss the integrated memory, the device has a slot for memory cards in microSD format.

Hmm, I took sgc1 in July of that year, everything is fine, I bought a very narrow film on ebeee, I found a back cover made of soft touch plastic for aliexpress for 3.99, now the smart is comfortable to hold in your hand, does not slip, put AOKP ICS, a good version of the 4th android, plus still in sgc1 there is still a USB HOST, the screen diagonal of 4 inches is just excellent, he held various flagships with a larger diagonal, it is not so pleasant to work on them with one hand, I see no reason at all on this moment change smart, tk. the performance of a single-core processor is enough for daily tasks, well, all new games are coming.
Tell me please, I wish in a year to take the Samsung galaxt s3 for myself, it's worth me. To take it, I watched reviews, videos, drawings about him, everything suits me, but I'm still hesitant and looking for other brands to buy, please tell me.
in a year even more cool and new models will be! I can wait until August and take the Iphone, although I like the Samsung more S2 I have been using it for a year already, in general, I'm not complaining.
Well, in general, I agree with Eugene - progress does not stand still and in a year something will be smarter / more attractive / faster, etc., BUT! If you want to take specifically at the moment, this second, then in my opinion (and you write here to familiarize yourself with the views) - SGS3 is the best that Samsung has ever released from its own phones, namely the best that is at the moment moment on the market ... Again, I can back up my words by taking HTC One X (the only rival of SGS3 at that time) for a week, and later Samsung ... without even looking at the flaw in the material, the feeling of the material of the SGS3 case, slowed down on it ... , thoughtfulness, support for various tasks / chips / protocols / formats is simply amazing ... and all this - right away, out of the box ... you don't need to surf the Internet in search of any programs / codecs / managers / viewers / drivers (I myself installed only a navigation program to Only through GPS I worked, an office program and a simple photo editor - so that the effects in the photos can be done right away) the main thing is to make updates (I'm only for the official ones, which the phone itself offers). Well, it's better to take cheaper - 30,000 re for a phone - it's not just a lot, THIS IS VERY, VERY MUCH ... (I took it for 19,000) ... I use it myself for a month and 3 weeks - and I'm very satisfied ...
A pipe from a bitten apple in comparison with the SGS3-heaven and earth, although, as the Germans said, to each his own. VERY playful, successful in calling, stuffed to the eyeballs, installs applications at once, but ... Absolutely slippery, traffic eats like a bull terrier, it is unclear where and for what it sends data about the owner from all applications, and there are many more troubles. And so, everything is at a high level.
From your message, in general, it is not clear what is stuffed, what slides, where is the bull terrier ... sorry.

S3 will not only destroy the iPhone, but also abuse the corpse)))
The huge size of the phone won't give an iPhone to destroy.
I really hoped to switch from an iPhone to a new Helexi, but after the presentation I realized that I didn't need such a "bast shoe" in my pocket 🙂
will you do a review later?
4.8 ″ screen - I'm disappointed. I only got rid of the nexus because of 4.65. ugly awkward. 🙁
Alexander N., I would be glad if I can not) I live in the region, I have not got into the city recently) I am going to take it from the web store) By the way, are there any problems with carrying in the jeans / trousers pocket? It's just that for the first time I will take a phone with such a screen diagonal, previously it was negligible Samsung Star)
Turn it into the pocket to fit)) Although the size is certainly much larger than the Samsung Star, I have, for example Htc ONE X quietly fits in the pocket, although naturally, his presence is felt as they say with the body of the shovel is not small ...
BLIIINN Screen: 4.8 ", 1280x720, Super Amoled, PENTILE !! couldn’t the Koreans have made a screen without a pentail…. he spoils the whole picture about the flagship now there are doubts whether to change your own galaxy from 2 ... although the resolution is higher, with pentail everything wakes up worse
Samsung has long been time to change designers!
And the phone seems to be not that narrow. This is a silver outline - an optical illusion.
