About this sound

The Samsung Galaxy S3 power on sound, a short melodic startup chime from the 2012 Android phone, used in nostalgia edits and tech throwback videos.

The Galaxy S3 power on sound is the brief startup chime that played when Samsung's 2012 flagship phone switched on, a clean, rising electronic melody with soft synth tones and a gentle, optimistic finish. Lasting just a few seconds, it feels instantly familiar to anyone who owned or used an early Android phone, triggering a small wave of nostalgia for the era of removable batteries, plastic bodies and TouchWiz home screens. In edits it works as a quick audio cue for something switching on, waking up or coming back to life, landing softly rather than jolting the listener.

Pro tip

Drop it on the frame where a phone, device or character powers up, and let it play clean without music underneath so the melody stays recognisable. Avoid looping it or pitching it down, as that strips away the nostalgic feel that makes the clip work.

More information

Samsung released the Galaxy S3 in 2012 as its flagship Android smartphone, and its distinctive power on chime played every time the handset booted up. Because the phone sold in huge numbers around the world, the short melody became widely recognisable, even to people who never owned one. Years later it circulates online as a nostalgia sound, reused in videos about old phones, early Android and 2010s technology, where it instantly signals a device from that era switching on.
