Samsung Galaxy S III Revealed amidst great speculation

The new Samsung Galaxy S III has finally arrived amidst great speculation as to whether it will really prove to be the revolutionary Smartphone, Samsung promised us it would be. Given status as the official Smartphone for the 2012 Olympics it disappoints greatly when it comes to the aesthetics. Shiny, plastic looking it just doesn’t hold the feeling of being an expensive, high tech and classy phone, which it no doubt is. The pebble blue color does help improve the image, however the choice of white is simply a white phone.

When it comes to the rest of the phone though you will be pleasantly surprised as it promotes itself through its sheer processing power and other specs. Carrying  a enormous 4.8 inch Super AMOLED HD screen, it weighs less than the compact Iphone 4S.

On the hardware side of the phone, Galaxy S III boasts a 1.4GHz Samsung Exynos 4 Quad processor greatly amplifies the processing power of its predecessor the Exynos 4 Dual as well as having the added capability of 20% less power consumption.

The Smartphone outruns all other current Smart phones that have been introduced and has great multitasking capabilities. Running on the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS the Samsung Galaxy S III promises to be a powerful phone.

When it comes to the camera although the software integrated into the phone has improved since the Galaxy S II, the 8mp camera  found on the Galaxy S II does not seem to have improved at all. It still carries the problem of struggling with low light and when compared to the Iphone 4 S camera it doesn’t seem to impress. No dedicated camera button is available on the phone however this is a trait common in the phone, with its lack of hardware buttons. However the camera boasts zero shutter lag, enabling users to capture photos instantly and carries a feature called ”Best Photo” which picks the best shot out of a selection of 8 photos.

In reply to Apples Siri, Samsung has introduced S Voice, which outruns the Siri when it comes to flaws and is not a valid justification for a ‘talk to your phone’ app.
