Samsung Galaxy S III Cricket Review

Score: 71.5 / 100

Samsung Galaxy S III Cricket is an incredible Android phone, featuring a high-tech 1.5 gigahertz Dual-Core processing unit, a big 4.8" multi touch display, an 8 MP back camera and a 1.9 megapixels front facing camera. Great! That's it? No, it's only the tip of the iceberg.

The S III Cricket is for sale in many colors: black, brown, blue and white. Regarding its aspect, this device is majorly created with Plastic. This cellphone is much lighter than what one would expect from a cellphone of this size. This phone is thin, being just 0.34 inches thick. The S III Cricket only has 5.39 inches long, but it manages to hold a 4.8" display.

Samsung decided to build this phone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960 chip, packing a high speed Dual-Core processor speeding at 1.5 gigahertz with a huge 2 GB RAM memory. Graphic intensive apps and games often eats lots of CPU cycles, so this phone also also has an Adreno 225 graphic processing unit clocking at 400 megahertz to help handle those graphic tasks. A great aspect of this phone is its 32 GB inmense internal storage and an external SD slot, enough to store hundreds of applications and even the largest games currently available without even thinking about how much memory is left.

Samsung packed this phone with a great 4.8-inches screen, and a resolution of 1280 x 720 (HD), which makes it impossible to even distinguish the pixels taking part of the screen. Its screen uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

This phone features WiFi capability (which it can provide to other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G LTE high performance data connection and 3G connection type, over EV-DO A technologies. This device works with a Micro SIM card for GSM connection and it can connect to CDMA networks.

The S III Cricket has two cameras, an 8 megapixels back facing camera and a 1.9 mega-pixels front facing camera. This phone can also capture Full HD 1920x1080 videos at 30 frames per second. This cellphone also includes a high number of interesting features like flash, fast burst mode, auto-focus, face detection shooting, digital image stabilization, HDR mode and geo tagging.

This cellphone also includes lots of useful characteristics as Wireless charging compatibility, 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 plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

This phone counts with amassive 2100 mAh Li-Ion battery, which isn't very promising for a cellphone like this. This cellphone has a reported 15 hs talk time and a 200 hours stand by time.

This device is a top quality phone and it costs around 100 dollars, which is similar to other same level devices. It doesn't matter whether you want it to take many photographs, want it mostly for social networks and internet browsing, will use it as a work cellphone or will use it as a gamer phone, this phone is probably a good choice .
