Samsung Galaxy S3 Slim Review
(SM-G3812B) Score: 60.4 / 100
Samsung Galaxy S3 Slim is a nice phone released some years ago, in 2014, including a great performance 1.2 GHz Quad-Core processor, a medium 4.5" touch-screen, and two cameras, a 5 megapixels back facing camera and a 0.3 MP front-facing camera. But let's get into more details.
Samsung decided to power the S3 Slim using a good performance 1.2 GHz Quad-Core CPU and 1 GB of RAM memory. This device comes with an 8 GB quite large internal storage memory and an SD memory slot, which allows the user to store a couple hundred apps without worrying about space.
It seems like Samsung forgot about weight optimization in this 4.9 ounces cellphone. This phone has an inspired design, with a thickness of just 0.38 inches. This cellphone is just 5.24" long, but it is still able to fit a a 4.5" display. This cellphone is offerred in 2 color options, black and white.
This phone has a nice 4.5-inches screen with a 960 x 540 resolution, giving this device a detailed graphic quality. This screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.
This phone has two cameras, a 5 MP back facing camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front facing camera. It can also capture videos up to 1920x1080 (Full HD). Additionally, this phone's camera also counts with a couple of useful characteristics like flash, auto-focus and geo tagging.
The S3 Slim has an incredible 2100 mAh replaceable battery, which isn't very promising for a cellphone like this.
The S3 Slim features wifi connection (which it can provide to other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), HSPA+ (4G) connection type, that is not so fast as LTE networks and 3G fast internet connection, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a Micro SIM card for GSM carriers.
This phone also includes a few useful characteristics such as Bluetooth (4.0, EDR) and GPS Navigation, and some sensors likeProximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
Samsung sells this cellphone for $ 90, which is quite expensive for a cellphone this level. No matter whether you are looking for a social device, want a gaming phone or want a work cellphone, this device is a great choice for you.
