Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999L smartphone for sale. Used and has a few cracks on the screen. The original battery can last up to 72 hours on standby but only 45 minutes when in use from a full charge, however it also comes with an additional brand new battery that lasts much longer. I upgraded the firmware to 4.3 with baseband T999LUVUBOH1, and I flashed the OctOS ROM based on Lineage 14.1, which uses the Android OS Nougat 7.1.2, which was made for all variants of the SGH-T999 and is the reason that it says the phone is an SGH-T999 even though it’s actually the T999L. Calling, texting and mobile data on 4G LTE all work and you’ll able to visit any website and download apps that operate on Android 7.1 or older. That includes most social media apps like Instagram and WhatsApp, however Twitter and Tumblr are too advanced for this phone’s operating system. As for banking apps, TD’s and Scotia-bank’s apps are also too advanced, BMO’s app doesn’t work, but RBC’s, Tangerine’s and CIBC’s apps work, although some features on the CIBC app don’t work. Wi-fi also works on this phone but only on 2.4 GHz frequencies. The phone has an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery (TWRP) but is not rooted, and is also carrier unlocked so it’ll work on any Canadian mobile network (I tested it on Freedom’s network as well as Koodo and Telus and it worked). It comes with a double USB port wall plug charging block, a mini-USB cable, an unused Freedom SIM card and an 8 GB microSD card that hasn’t been formatted yet. Located on Brownridge Drive near the Promenade mall in Thornhill, price is $50
