I got it in used so don't have any other options in that price range.
If you drop your phone frequently then s3 is not for you its screen is prone to get cracked very easily and replacement cost a lot too. Other then that s3 is very decent device with great battery back up and all the samsung goodies like multi windows and many other features. I would say wait couple of days s4 is launching so let see what they have to offer this time.
I am also thinking of getting one x the only thing which is holding me back its is manufacturing screen problems and low battery life. Plus no memory card slot and non removable battery.
