    Design

    The S3 comes packed in a polycarbonated body with an enamel finish which in turn make finger tips visible on the surface of the phone. The phone is out on the floor with two colours blue and white but more colour were expected. The white version is glossy, while the blue option sports a brushed-metal effect.The Galaxy S3 is 8.6mm thick and weighs 133g. That makes it ever so slightly thicker than the S2, which is 8.49mm deep. On this amount of wide screen pictures look amazing.








    The design is oddly reminiscent of the iPod touch, but with gently curved surfaces across the front and back of the device. There is a familiarity to the design and doesn't step boldly away from the language first seen in the original Galaxy S.


    Display

    The huge 4.8 inch screen uses a Super AMOLED. With a resolution of 1280x720 pixels (720P) and is extremely sharp. there is no gradation across all images. While for photographer they may seem inaccurate, mainstream users will find colours on SGS III vibrant and pleasing. Brightness levels are great.

     

    Operating System/UI


    The Android 4.0.4 ICS operating system in the Galaxy S III ,along with Samsung's TouchWiz 4.0 UI out of the box gives a butter smooth user experience with no jitters.  It is not the typical 4.0 interface that the Galaxy Nexus had, and not the standard touchwiz that the previous Galaxy devices had, but a hybrid made out of both of these with more of Touchwiz UI being shown, which someone from iOS or WP7 experience won’t be very much impressed about.



    Battery Life- (Excellent)
    User can not ask for more, with a pop the battery cover is off and a user replaceable battery. There's a microSD slot that'll take cards up to 64GB in size, potentially giving you up to 128GB of storage if you opt for the version with 64GB of built in memory.

    You also get a large 2100mAh battery that not only can you swap out for a spare when needed but also in the future you may be able to get extended batteries that last longer on a single charge. 

       

    Camera

    The competition has caught up and the S3 was rumored to be getting a 12 megapixel camera, but instead it's got the same snapper as the S2. Still, it’s a decent sensor which delivers strong results and you can also capture full HD 1080p video.Samsung claims it's one of the best camera featured in a smart phone.
    THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 has an 8MP camera, falling short of expectations for a 12MP rear-facing imager. However, Samsung claims it's not all about the megapixel count and told crowds that it's one of the best cameras ever to feature on a smartphone,
    The front camera sports a 1.9MP sensor and can capture 720p video at the same time as taking a still picture.LED flash on the back do not let the phone look washed out.

    Samsung Galaxy S3 camera screen
    First off it's worth noting that there are a lot of features built into the Galaxy S3's camera application. As well as taking single shots, you can set the camera to capture images in burst - 20 shots in about 10 seconds - high dynamic range (HDR) and panorama shot modes, with the last a feature we thought was much more impressive than the one found on Sony Xperia smartphones.
    Sure, these fancy features are all well and good, but "how is the picture quality?" we hear you asking. In short, it's fantastic. In daylight, pictures are full of detail and colours are rich, although they can look slightly over-saturated when photos are viewed on a larger screen. Snapshots taken in poor lighting are pretty impressive too, and the LED flash on the back of the handset manages not to make photos look washed out.

    S Beam  

    Under Near field Communication (NFC) technology image and vidio share becomes more easier between Galaxy S III devices at up to 300 Mbps via Wi-Fi direct.


    S Voice

    S Voice helps you to search for information and offers other useful commands. For example, S Voice can snooze your alarm, play your favorite songs, turn up or down the volume, send texts and emails, organize schedules, or automatically launch the camera and capture a photo. S Voice looks quite similar to Siri of Apple iPhone 4S  but lacks the humour and wittiness.


    Smart Stay

    Samsung Galaxy S3 review

    This feature is a hit the sweet spot, insuring that the screen remains lighted when you are looking at it and works well. The frunt facing camera tracks your eye and keeps the display on.Around 75% of the time it is able to detects, even in bright light it can sometimes still turn off the display, despite the icon showing up. In fact, the icon can pop up even when you're wearing sunglasses and hard to trust some times.
