Samsung Galaxy S III is an impressive Android phone launched many years ago, including a comfortable 4.8" capacitive screen, a very powerful Quad-Core CPU ticking at 1400 MHz, an 8 mega-pixels back side camera and a 1.9 megapixels front camera. But let's get into much more detail.

Samsung decided to equip this cellphone with an extremely powerful 1.4 GHz Quad-Core processing unit, bundled in a Samsung Exynos 4 (4412) chip and a big 2 GB RAM. Collaborating with graphic calculations, this device also has a 266 megahertz ARM Mali-400 MP4 graphics processing unit. A great advantage of the S III is its huge 32 GB internal storage memory and an external memory slot, more than enough to store tons of applications, games, pictures and videos without having to worry about filling it.

Samsung has made an excellent design job making this phone weight just 4.69 ounces. The S III is sold in multiple colors: black, gray, brown, pink, blue, red and white. Talking about its construction materials, this device is made with Plastic. The Samsung Galaxy S III is just 0.34 inches thick, taking it to the thinnest device's category. The S III is only 5.38" long, but it manages to hold a 4.8" screen.

This phone is equipped with two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 1.9 MP front facing camera. This phone can also film videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 frames per second. This cellphone also counts with lots of useful features: auto-focus, flash, fast burst mode, digital image stabilization, face detection shooting, HDR mode and geo tagging.

The S III is equipped with an absolutely amazing 1280 x 720 (HD) 4.8" screen, making everything look vivid and colorful. Its screen uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, with a 300 candela/m2 brightness and allows multi-touch gestures.

This cellphone counts with a great 2100 mAh Li-Ion removable battery that can keep it running for several hours, although you may need to charge it after some heavy use. This phone has a reported 16 hours talk time and a 580 hours stand by time according to Samsung.

This device counts with wi-fi connectivity (which can be shared with other devices acting as a modem or router), LTE 4G high performance internet connection and also HSPA+ data connection, that is a bit slower 4G network and the fastest 3G connectivity, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The S III works with a Micro SIM card to connect to GSM networks.

This phone also features many interesting features like Wireless charging, NFC (to trigger actions, transfer data or make payments by holding your device close to another NFC device or tag), Bluetooth (allows communication with other bluetooth devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS Localization, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

This cellphone costs $ 195, a rather high price for comparing with other similar phones. No matter whether you will use it for work, need a phone to play lots of games, want a cellphone to majorly use social networks and internet browsing or want it to take lots of pictures, you will definitely be very satisfied with it.
