The Samsung Galaxy S III has everything that you’d expect from a flagship phone, especially from the current market-leader Samsung. They have thrown in everything they can to make this highly anticipated phone a great hit and it shows. The S III has a gorgeous 4.8 Inch HD Super AMOLED Corning Glass 2 screen with a resolution of 720 x 1280 (ppi of 306) which covers almost the whole front of the phone.
It comes with Android 4.0 ICS which can be upgraded to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean with an overlay of Samsung’s TouchWiz UI. It looks decent but the real advantage of TouchWiz appears in the tons of features the company has put into it. Some highlight features are Pop-Up Play, S-Beam, Direct Call, Smart Alert and Smart Stay which drastically improve your experience with the phone.
The camera on this phone is simply brilliant. It has the same 8 MegaPixels like its predecessor, the S II but the similarities end there. This one is better in pretty much everything: color saturation, low-light performance, picture detail, etc. Along with that, the added-HDR mode also helps in taking excellent pictures.
All this is powered by 1 GB of RAM and a 1.4 GHz Cortex-A9 Quad-Core Exynos 4 processor that is one of the fastest processor at this time. Heavy Games, HD Videos, multitasking, it will handle anything you throw at it without any lag. They have put in a huge 2100 mAh battery which has enough juice to give you 590 hours of standby time and 21 hours and 40 minutes of talktime on 2G while 11 hours and 40 minutes on 3G.
It comes with 16 GB/32 GB/64 GB configurations which can be backed by a microSD card. This model of this phone has Bluetooth 4.0 EDGE, GPRS, 3G and Wi-Fi and uses Micro-SIM for GSM purposes.
