VERDICT the most feature rich Andorid Smartphone yet
For. Incredible feature set, sew some display, great esthetics. AGANINST FILMSY BACK
COVERS, EXPENSIVE.
Samsung Galaxy s III has finally it Indian shores and fans can’t wait to a get this thaw
grubby mitts on one, We know many galaxy ski owners shove already swapped third phone
for the upgraded model, we’ve heard a lot of take about how the ski doesn’t fit for a flagship
title due to its looks and other factors, but we had to go in with an open mind as after all
esthetics are very subjective.
Design and build quality
In the cortiles pictures and videos we’ve seen around the internet, the s III isn’t much
of a looker and when you compare it its predecessor or is it? Honestly, we didn’t know
what to expect, but after actually holding it is in our hands, it don’t seem too had furnish
and prevents light scratches and fingerprints. The front consist of a 4.b inch super
AMOLDED screen with a resolution of 720*1280 pixels and comes tithe a printable display
arrangement, on the top is the front facing camera with an ambient eight sensor. Proximity
sensor and a notification. LED while the physical home button and the bait capacitive
scene, despite the display being Entitle it doesn’t realty make a difference to the naked eye.
Coming back to the tour, to the left there’s the volume rocker, while the Power key is
located to the ring. The 3.5 mm headphone jack and noise cancellation mica are located on
the top while the micro USB port and the second mica are at the bottom. The back consists
of an 8 megapixel camera speaker gift and LET flash.
The one thing that your definitely can’t get away form is the plastic feel of the phone. At 8.6
mm its depth and weigh of133 grams. It’s incredibly slim and light Samsung has managed
in to shave off as mush of bezel as possible, so all you’re really left with is this gigantic
screen, and we love it! The battery is removable, but it should be more durable than its
likes. The S III clearly pales in comarisiion to the design and aesthetics of the HTC One
X which has a much more premium feel to it. Being a flagship device, we did expect a lot
more form Samsung in this department. It looks good form the front but will really witched
they would have done a better job with the back panel and the overalls.
User interface
The S III comes with android 4.0.4 out of the box howler, we have a deal with touchline
again Samsung has tweaked and changed a few things to give the UI a fresh look. The lock
screen is no longer a glass, but has water effects instead. Touching it vegetates ripples
a you simply swipe anywhere to bar on the bottom that updates you on missed called to
plenty of toggle switches and this time, Samsung has made it scrollable to accommodate
more.
The Galaxy S III sip owed by a 1.4 GHZ quad core processor with 1 gab of RAM and 16
GB of onboard stooge . It’s blazingly fast and manoeuving multitasking is an absolute
breze.while perforating the phone would catch its breath before resuming its dazing speeds.
But where the Galaxy s III blows the completion out of the water is the synthetic
benchmarks Quadrant, which is CPU I/O and 3D graphics benchmark, give the S III a
mammoth score of 5419 close the 750 points ahead of the one x ninebark 2 an penal,
benchmark, gave the S III a score of 58.8 FPS THE ONE ax’s 47.2 FPS
Media Playback
SAMSUNG HAVE CHOSEN THE Dodson WM1811 audio DAC, which is a huge step
forwards form the yardage dip used in the S II and is nearly as good as the one used
in the Galaxy 5 and the Nexus 5 9 Wolfsan one used the Glazy 5 AND THE Nexus S
9wolson WM8994) Music in hided directly by the DAC without any software up sampling

Other features

Samsung has also added there own suit of apps like S Memo S Suggest all Share Play for
DLNA, Chat on along with the default list of Google apps.
Camera:---
The Galaxy S III moves equipped with an 8mp camera with LED flash and we port it
through the paces in a couple flower, to a wasp just sofa indoor and outdoor tests. In
outdoor shots. The colors papered rich on the CGTS iii. Sometimes the shots were patty
bright as well but some of the images were singly over saturate nothing the average user
would immediately notice, but it you’ve using this is as your pruner photo snapping device,
you’ll see the difference eventually.
It should be mentioned that the still doesn’t automatically activate burst mode when the
shutter button on the screen is pressed, a feature we loved on the One X also some
focusing issues prevented us from getting the desired result in burst mode when the shutter
button on the screen is pressed a feature we loved on the one x. also some focusing issues
prevented us from getting the desired result in burst mode. However the macro mode
on the S II wow dons us from being able to capture an ant on a flower. To a wasp just
setting nm leaf. The macro mode did bring out that extra bit in every image. 1080 p dido
recoding at 30 fps is supported and there good amount of image stabilization, if you’ve
got shaky hands. Slight color banding was noticed when we moved from darker the lighter
backgrounds and vice versa.
Battery Life.
The sammusngGalaxy s III comes with a 2100 mash battery with is close to 2500 mash
battery in the not. During our usage, which included heavy gaming videos music, we- if
a couple do calls and a lot of burst shots the glazy s III easily lasted for a day remember
that it does have a qua core CPU and the AMOLE screen eats up battery prey quickly if
you have a lot of white color on the display the battery life was better than the one x hands
down.
Verdict
The S III is bit expensive compared to the HTC, One X, although the latter has been in
the maker for shale now. Once thighs normalize. It should be on par. The s III leaves the
completion behind when it moves to media playback and benchmarks, not to forget the
battery life. The rest of the features and performance. While high on the scales, aren’t
impressive enough to deviate from the one X over to the s III, it doesn’t really haveanyting
that would make us run out to a sore and buy it.
