This video should be titled "The most patient human being on earth". Excellent work. Very riveting!
Removable battery, micro SD slot, headphone jack.... this phone has more features that the latest S21

I loved my S3… It got old very quickly which meant it couldn’t keep up with most apps! I did however drop it down the toilet, cleaned it up and sold it for decent money at the time! I may reinvest and store as I’ve done with other phones!

Amazing! But I wonder why you didn't use tape to secure the broken digitizer when removing, or used only one card to remove the LCD :o In any case, patience is a virtue and the results speak for itself! Excellent job!

Thankyou! The front glass has a laminated layer underneath, which holds all the glass in 1 piece, so it's not necessary to tape it. Fyi, the glass is not a digitzer, its just glass, the digitzer is layered on top of the AMOLED display.
I'm about to restore mine soon.

These videos mesmerize me, but on the back of my head I always had this burning question: Why bother repairing this 9 year phone? It's not like anyone is going to use it. And the answer is probably: content.

Doing a glass only repair is not an easy thing, that went from one of the worst s3s to one of the best I've ever seen. The brown colour way is under rated

How did you clean the edges of the glass so well? You cleaned the LOCA again after it hardened? From 13:04 to 13:43 is a big difference.
@RestoreTechnique

No I cleaned the edges fully before hardening it finally. I cleaned it with a plastic razor blade, and with Isopropyl Alcohol and microfibre cloth. I couldn't show the whole cleaning process, I needed to edit it.

I’m back here again, watching you repair this seemingly destroyed phone to mint condition - zen like. I wonder - what do you do with the phones you repair? Sell, give to homeless, collect, use yourself? I wonder because I was thinking that a 9 year old samsung can’t have a lot of resale value and will have no software support.

I remember when I was recording something on my S3 in 2019, then it fell on the front, the screen broke and the touch didn’t work anymore. The next day I got a different unit, but I had everything transfered on to it. It was black S3.
