Bad luck with samsung s3's

Had two, first one lasted 12 months then microphone died. Replacement lasted 12 months then call reception got flakey and Bluetooth kept diconnecting randomly from car. Bought a stopgap moto G, no complaints on phone, bloatware,however, eats up the phones internal storage and can't be shifted to SD card. That's the carrier's fault. And what the hell is up with Facebook's bloat? Good gosh! It's up to 130mb and that doesn't include messenger, page manager, and app manager each adding 130ish mb. I disabled all that crap.
