Samsung Galaxy S III is an incredibly powerful Android cellphone released many years ago, provisioned with a high speed 1.4 gigahertz Quad-Core processor, a 4.8-inches multi touch screen, and 2 cameras, an 8 MP back facing camera and a 1.9 megapixels front camera. Great! That's it? No, it's only the shortest summary on earth.
The S III is a compact device, taking into account that it features a 4.8 inches display and it's just 5.38" long and 2.78 inches wide. This phone has a wonderful design, with a thickness of just 0.34 inches. The S III is for sale in a variety of color options: black, gray, brown, pink, blue, red and white. This cellphone feels much lighter than what one would expect from a phone like this. About its design, this cellphone is majorly created with Plastic.
Samsung decided to build this device with a Samsung Exynos 4 (4412) system chip, packing a high speed 1400 megahertz Quad-Core processing unit and only 1 GB of RAM which is a little poor for such a great cellphone. Graphic rendering usually consume a lot of processor cycles, so this cellphone also also has a 266 MHz ARM Mali-400 MP4 graphics processing unit to unload the CPU. A nice point of this cellphone is its big 16 GB internal memory and a slot for external memory cards, allowing you to store a couple hundred apps and games without any problem.
The S III is equipped with two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back camera and a 1.9 megapixels front facing camera. The Samsung Galaxy S III can also shoot videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 fps. This camera also includes a large number of interesting characteristics like flash, fast burst mode, auto-focus, digital image stabilization, HDR mode, face detection shooting and geo tagging.
The S III is equipped with an amazing 1280 x 720 (HD) 4.8-inches screen, which makes all images and videos look perfect. Its screen uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, with a brightness of 300 candela/m2 and can detect multi touch gestures.
The Samsung Galaxy S III counts with an inmense 2100 mAh Li-Ion removable battery providing the S III a good battery duration. According to Samsung, the S III has a reported stand by time of 830 hours and a talk time of 22.5 hours.
This device has WiFi connectivity (which it can provide to other devices acting as a router or modem), HSPA+ 4G data connection, that is not so fast as LTE-A or LTE 4G networks and fast 3G data connection, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The S III uses a Micro SIM card for GSM services.
This phone also comes with a lot of interesting features like Wireless charging system, Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.
This phone might not be a good choice considering it is sold for 265 dollars, and other similar phones are being sold for less than that. If you love photography, want a phone for gaming, want it for work or will use it as a social cellphone, this phone is probably the right choice for you.
