Samsung Galaxy S3 review..

Samsung has just announced the much awaited phone of 2012 – Samsung Galaxy S3. It boasts of a quad-core Exynos processor, a 4.8-inch, HD Super AMOLED screen and a handful of Galaxy S III-only features so that it can compete against the likes of HTC One X, Iphone 5 and Nokia Lumia 900. It’s 4.8-inch screen is counter-balanced by the thin bezel, resulting in a shape that is still comfortable to hold. It feels very light, a mere 133g and measures 8.6mm.

The rear snapper packs 8 megapixels, and it’s super-quick to take a picture. Samsung says the camera will automatically tag your friends and share the photo with them, providing you have their picture stored with their contact details. Burst mode lets you take up to 20 photos in one go and something called ‘select best shot’ takes eight photos and recommends the best one.
You can record 1080p videos and take still pictures simultaneously, although only at 6 megapixel resolution. At the front is a 1.9 megapixel camera which works with something called ‘smart stay’ to keep the screen from dimming while you’re looking at the phone.



It is light and it’s just 8.6mm thick. There’s a physical home button on the front and a couple of touch-sensitive keys. Other cool features include a video player that you can move around the screen. This means you can browse the internet or text without breaking off from the video you’re watching. There’s also something called S Voice, which is basically Samsung’s version of Apple’s Siri, so you can say ‘what’s the weather like today’ and the phone will go away and find out. With S Beam you can share files over Wi-Fi with another Galaxy by tapping the phones together, and you get a free 50GB Dropbox account with every S3. The S3 will arrive in 16, 32 and 64GB versions, and there’s also a microSD slot for a further 64GB of memory if you need it. It has a removable battery unlike the other high end smartphones.
