Samsung Galaxy S III is a breath-taking Android cellphone released some years ago, in 2012, which features a quite big 4.8" screen, an extremely powerful Dual-Core processing unit speeding at 1500 megahertz, and two cameras, an 8 MP back side camera and a 1.9 megapixels front-facing camera.

This phone is much lighter than what you would expect from a phone this size. About its materials quality, this cellphone is mainly manufactured with Polycarbonate. This cellphone is just 5.38 inches long and 2.78 inches wide, but it manages to hold a 4.8 inches display. This cellphone is slim and good-looking, being just 0.34" thick. Samsung made this phoneavailable only in black, blue and white.

Samsung decided to power this cellphone with a high-tech 1500 megahertz Dual-Core processor, bundled in the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960 system chip and a huge 2 GB RAM memory. Graphic calculations often consume a lot of processing power, so this phone also has an additional Adreno 225 graphics processing unit ticking at 400 MHz to improve overall performance. A nice advantage of this phone is its quite large 16 GB internal storage and an SD extension slot, allowing you to install a couple hundred apps without running out of space.

This cellphone has a completely amazing 4.8 inches display with a 1280 x 720 (HD) resolution, which makes everything look vivid and colorful. This display uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.

This cellphone is equipped with two cameras, an 8 megapixels back-facing camera and a 1.9 megapixels front side camera. The Samsung Galaxy S III can also capture videos up to 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 frames per second. Additionally, the camera has many interesting characteristics: auto-focus, flash, digital image stabilization, fast burst mode, HDR mode, face detection shooting and geo tagging.

This device packs a 2100 mAh huge Li-Ion replaceable battery, which isn't too much for a cellphone like this. According to Samsung, this phone has a reported talk time of 10 hours and a stand by time of 200 hs.

This cellphone includes wifi connection (which can be shared with other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), HSPA+ (4G) connection type, which is not as fast as LTE or LTE-A 4G networks and fast 3G internet connection, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone uses a Micro SIM card for GSM networks.

This cellphone also comes with a lot of interesting features as Wireless charging capability, NFC (to trigger actions, transfer data or make payments by holding your cellphone close to another NFC device or tag), Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

This phone might be a little expensive considering it is priced 179 dollars, and other similar cellphones are offerred cheaper than that. If you will use it to play games, want a work phone, want it to take tons of pictures or want a cellphone mostly for internet broswing and social networks, this device is definitely a great option for you.
