Samsung Galaxy S Iii Gt-i9300 16gb Unlocked Android Smartphone
The Samsung Galaxy S III is Samsung's latest and greatest entry into the
high-end of the market. Designed for quad-band GSM operation in the
850, 900, 1900 and 1900 band, as well as HSDPA operation in the 850,
900, 1900 and 2100, the Galaxy S is compatible with 2G, 3G and 4G
networking, although its 4G capability is region based.
Interestingly, the Galaxy S III features a huge screen, at almost 5
inches, and yet it is still a slim device with rounded edges and a
rear-facing camera that is flush with the pebble-coated body. It is
pebble-coated to make it less slippery when you hold it.
At 5.91 by 5.51 by 2.36 inches and 4.64 ounces, the Galaxy S III is not a
heavyweight. You will have to be careful about using it as not only is
likely to require premium service rates or a premium monthly service
plan - which might be expensive - it only as 1320 minutes of talk time,
while it boasts 830 hours of standby time. Of course, one would expect
the bias to be toward standby time because this is a device that is
meant to be used and the 20 hours of talk which is likely to shrink
significantly if you make lots of use of the Galaxy's many features.
For example, the Galaxy S III is powered by Samsung's advanced Exynos
quad-core 1.4 GHz microprocessor. The processor is based on the ARM
Cortex A9. The interesting feature of the processor is that its code has
been optimized so that it can look as if there are as many as four
processors handling a problem or, if the code is used in parallel two
streams can handle one problem while the other two can handle a second
issue or third issue.
For example, you may find that two streams are needed to handle an image
issue, that requires the full processing ability of at least two CPUs
operating in high definition 1280 by 720-pixel image mode, while another
processor handles incoming mail and the fourth handles outgoing mail.
The Galaxy S III employs a huge 4.8-inch super AMOLED g a
high-definition 1280 by 780-pixel display with self-correcting software
so that no matter the position you hold the Galaxy S III in the image
always appears normal.
Interestingly, Samsung has built a couple of apps into its phone to
assure that you won't miss a call or that one won't miss you. With Smart
Stay, the phone tracks your eyes an as long as you are looking at it
the display remains on. Also, there's Direct Call which can be a very
useful application when you are messaging someone and need to call him
instead. You hold the phone up to your face and the application will
dial his number for you.
The standard Galaxy S III features an auto 8 MP camera at the rear and a
2 MP camera in front, in case, you want to engage in a video chat or
conference. The Galaxy S III comes with 16 GB of memory standard and can
be equipped with up to 64 GB of memory along with microSDHC cards that
will allow you to exchange photos and other images.
Plus, it runs that latest version of the Android operating system that
gives you access to the many apps written for Android devices.
The key to the Galaxy S III and its competition from HTC and Apple is
this; it is a device for the high end of the market, for those who need
it. It won't be inexpensive, either.
