Three have announced the highly anticipated release of the Samsung Galaxy S3
The Galaxy S series has been the flagship model of the Samsung range and very popular among consumers.
This handset is packed with the very latest features and innovative technology that can make everyday life much easier. It can make calls by simply moving the phone towards your ear, tags your Facebook friends automatically after taking a photo and can ‘wake up from the lock screen with a simple voice command.
With its large 4.8” screen and a super-fast quad core processor, you also get an 8 megapixel camera that plays and records video in HD.
The handset boasts a wide range of features including:
- Super-fast 1.4 GHz quad-core processor
- 8 megapixel low light camera with auto-focus and LED flash
- Large 4.8″ HD Super AMOLED display
- 1.9 megapixel front camera with BSI
- Full HD video recording and playback
- Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) Operating System
This sleek and stylish new handset is available on a range of tariffs available in white and blue colours.
The Galaxy SIII is over-rated. Every reviewer keeps banging on about quad core when it’s completely unnecessary for a phone. Dual core will run everything a phone uses with no issues so what’s the point.
I still find screens on the Sony phones look better than Amoled not that Amoled is bad, but it’s hardly groundbreaking.
The design is lacklustre as well – I would actually go as far as to call it ugly.
The problem with the S3 and all newer phones with a built in sdcard and an external sdcard, is that most app writers tell you it is Samsung’s fault. It isn’t. There are two addresses.
/mnt/sdcard
This is the internal card and post app manufacturers only allow their data to access this address.
/mnt/extSdCard
Note case. This is the address to any external card the user adds.
It is up to the app writer whether he wants to rewrite the addressing part of his app if it is a free app.
However, never pay for an app if the app writer hasn’t allowed backup to the external card. If you do so, then more fool you.
HTC managed to get away with this by not allowing users to add an exrernal SDCard However, more phones will appear on the parket with both an internal and an external card.
