Samsung Galaxy S III is an absolutely amazing cellphone launched in 2012, which features an exceptional 1.5 GHz Dual-Core processing unit, a quite big 4.8-inches multi touch screen, and 2 cameras, an 8 megapixels back-facing camera and a 1.9 MP front-facing camera.

Samsung sells this device in a wide range of color options, black, brown, blue and white. This cellphone is incredibly thin and comfortable, being just 0.34" thick. This cellphone is a very compact phone, given that it packs a 4.8 inches display and it is just 5.39" long and 2.8 inches wide. About its design materials, the S III is mostly created with Polycarbonate. Samsung made an amazing job making the Samsung Galaxy S III weight just 4.7 ounces.

Samsung designed the Samsung Galaxy S III with an awesome 4.8 inches screen, and a 1280 x 720 (HD) resolution, making everything look vivid and colorful. Its screen uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

Samsung decided to build this phone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960 system chip, holding a very powerful Dual-Core processing unit speeding at 1.5 GHz and a huge 2 GB RAM. Graphic calculations generally eats lots of CPU processing time, so it counts with a 400 megahertz Adreno 225 graphics processing unit to take care of them, leaving the processor free for other tasks. A great advantage of this cellphone is its astonishing 32 GB internal memory and an external memory card slot, allowing the user to store hundreds of applications without worrying about filling it.

This device counts with Wi-Fi capability (which it can provide to other devices as a mobile hotspot), LTE 4G high performance connection type and 3G connectivity, using EV-DO A technologies. This cellphone works with a Micro SIM card for GSM services and it can work with CDMA carriers.

This phone has two cameras, an 8 MP back camera and a 1.9 mega-pixels front side camera. It also films 1920x1080 Full HD videos at 30 frames per second. Additionally, the camera includes multiple amazing characteristics: flash, fast burst mode, auto-focus, face detection shooting, digital image stabilization, HDR mode and geo tagging.

This phone comes with a 2100 mAh long lasting Li-Ion replaceable battery, which isn't very promising for a cellphone like this. This cellphone has an estimated talk time of 15 hours and a stand by time of 200 hs.

The S III also includes a wide variety of cool features as Wireless charger compatibility, Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

This phone might not be so convinient considering it is offerred for $ 245, and many similar phones cost less than that. This device is probably the correct choice for you no matter whether you want it majorly for social networks and internet browsing, want it to take tons of pictures, will use it as a work phone or are looking for a gaming phone.
