Galaxy S III Design

The design of the Samsung I9300 Galaxy S III is one of the most controversial bits about the new Samsung flagship. Built entirely out of glossy plastic, the Galaxy S III takes after the Nexus lineup design lines, If it's Blue or White that Galaxy S III is shining.

The glossy material is a questionable choice as it really lacks the high-end vibe that a smartphone such as the Galaxy S III should pack, But the good news is that the Samsung "Hyperglaze" coating partially makes up for that, improving both the feel and the handling of the device.

Galaxy S III Display

The 4.8" Super AMOLED of HD resolution at the front is where the Samsung I9300 Galaxy S III magic happens. The screen image quality is every bit as impressive as its specs suggest tack sharp and with perfectly deep blacks, it's arguably the best you can find on the market.

The colors are nicely saturated by default, but the display settings menu offers you a choice between four different modes, so you can opt for more natural colors as well. We did prefer the livelier dynamic and standard modes, but the natural and movie modes will probably have their fans too. What's important here is that the S III display offers you flexibility that no other screen on the market can give you. We got a Hands-on Vidoe that show you the Display of the Galaxy S III and its colors, click on the photo below to watch it.

Galaxy S III User-Interface

The Samsung Galaxy S III runs on the latest Android Ice Cream Sandwich version which is 4.0.4, but it has been heavily modified by the latest TouchWiz 5.0 UI from Samsung.

The New TouchWiz is pretty similar to the one on the Galaxy S II but with some New tweaks and features. Some of these features like "Motion Control" that allows you to control your phone with some hands-Gestures

Also it packs an "Eye-tracking" technology that track your eyes movements while using the phone so when you move your eyes away of the serene it goes automatically off. and when you look at the screen again it turn the screen on again.

The acquisition will entail the move of 300 employees from CSR to Samsung.

Press Release

Samsung is the big winner in the 2nd Quarter of 2012, selling much more smartphones than Apple and beating Nokia in feature phone sales by an even wider margin than in the last quarter, according to estimates by analysts including companies like JP Morgan, Bank of America and Citi.

Samsung is expected to have also broken the quarterly smartphone sales record. With 50 million Samsung smartphones, the company widens the gap with Apple to around 20 million as on average analysts expect Apple to sell around 30.5 million iPhones in Q2 2012. Also, the Korean company is believed to have outsold Nokia feature phones by a hefty 15.7 million, widening the gap which only last quarter stood at just 3.4 million.

"Samsung is expected to be the smartphone hero in the second quarter," IDC analyst Francisco Jeronimo said. "We are also expecting to see the biggest smartphone volumes ever shipped from one single vendor in one quarter, driven by strong demand of the Galaxy portfolio, particularly the Galaxy S II and S III."

Confirmed reports says that Samsung will be making a major announcement and unveiling its newest Galaxy device on August 15th. Most likely we will see the introduction of the Samsung GALAXY Note II. A sequel to the phablet is expected to feature a slightly larger 5.5 inch WSXGA+ (1680x1050) Super AMOLED display, an 8MP rear-facing camera, 1.5GB RAM, S Beam, S Voice, NFC, and LTE connectivity.

YouMobile reported yesterday, the GLBenchmark test might have revealed an overlclocked quad-core Exynos 4412 for the phablet II. The Samsung GALAXY Note II is allegedly penciled in for an October launch.

Here is a Comparison between the Samsung flagship Android device, Galaxy S III, and Nokia flagship Windows Phone 8 Device, Lumia 920. This time its not about the apecs, its about the Camera Sensor.

The comparison on the Video Below is performed in a dimly-lit room to show which sensor takes better Photos and have a better low-light sensitivity. Of course, we are assuming that all the settings are similar to each other when these comparisons are being done.

Samsung always brings the best accessories to its flagship devices, and this one is very useful in some situations where you'd like to listen to some music but don't want to carry a smartphone, such as during running or jogging and you have a Galaxy S III or Note II with you ? Well you gonna need something as small as the Samsung Muse.

Samsung Muse comes with a data transfer cable that plugs into your smartphone and with the help of Samsung's Music Sync Android application lets you transfer music on your smartphone on to the Muse. The Muse has 4GB of storage for yor music.

The Muse has just been launched in the US for $49.99 in Pebble Blue and Piano White. Supports Samsung GALAXY III and Samsung GALAXY Note II. The pricing is identical to the iPod shuffle, which only has 2GB of memory.

This is a benchmark test between the Samsung GALAXY Note II with a Quad-core Exynos CPU clocked at 1.6GHz vs. Samsung GALAXY S III with the same Quad-core Exynos CPU chip clocked at 1,4GHz vs. LG Optimus 4X HD with a Tegra 3 Quad0core CPU. Watch the Video below to see the scores.

It wasn't quite the fair fight, considering that there is a generational gap in the 32nm manufacturing of Samsung's Exynos 4412 processor, and the 40nm process used for Tegra 3, but LG's handset held its own in Quadrant and AnTuTu just fine. It bungled the Vellamo benchmark, which is admittedly done for testing Snapdragon processors, and favors instruction sets like the ones in the Exynos family.

With Tectile app version 3.0, users can assign a string of actions to a single TecTile. That way one can have their Bluetooth radio turned on and navigation app launched when in the car, or the ringer volume turned down and the alarm clock app launched when it's bed time.

The new iPhone 5 has finally left the old 3.5″ screen with 3:2 aspect ratio and got a New 4″ screen with a 16:9 aspect. Where does that put it in terms of size?

The new screen bigger than the older models, but not by as much as the diagonal difference suggests, due to the change in the aspect ratio. The resolution has also been bumped up to accommodate the new screen, so the pixel density remains unchanged, So its the Same as the iPhone 4/4S and its the same as the Samsung GALAXY S III that was released 3 Months ago.

Apple's iPhone 5 display has a resolution of 1136 x 640 and this doesn't consider a HD display as its a few pixels away to be a Try-HD like the Galaxy S3 display that has a resolution of 1280 x 720 with the same exact density 326ppi as we said before.

Samsung launched the Galaxy S III in White & Blue variants but not in black. Just Now, a Samsung's Facebook Page posted a photos of the Galaxy S III showcasing the phone's capabilities at the London 2012 Olympics.

The photos aren't a definite proof that a Black version of Samsung's Galaxy S III is on the way since they have slight blue tints here or there. In the end, it may all be just bad lighting, but it would make sense for Samsung to launch a black version of the S III.

One of the many cool things about the Samsung Galaxy S III is that it supports wireless charging. Sure, the official wireless charging kit for the smartphone is not out yet, alongside other Galaxy S III accessories.

The company has just announced its own S3 Wireless Charging kit Compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S III.

The successor to the Galaxy S II "The Next Galaxy", Galaxy S III GT-I9300 showed up in GLBenchmark's results page to confirm that the S III is the next Top-charts Smartphone in CPU and GPU performance. The results have since been hidden on the website, which does give them an air of legitimacy.

The device, sporting a GT-I9300, does better than almost all current major smartphone on the market. In the off-screen 720p test, where raw GPU power is emphasized, it achieved "92.2 fps" frames per second, beating the Tegra 3 and Adreno 225 GPUs by a lot and even gave the dual-core PowerVR SGX543MP2 inside the iPhone 4S a spanking. It almost beat the new iPad's quad-core PowerVR SGX543MP4 GPU which scored "139.2 fps" but it's still a Great score!

We all know that Samsung has officially announced the release date of the Next GALAXY, aka "Galaxy S III" flagship which will be on 3,May in london. Today we've got some exclusive info and specs of the Next GALAXY phone from samsung.

Sources from UK telecoms confirmed to CNET that the Samsung Galaxy S III will be a minor update from the S2 with a bigger screen 4.7" 720p that shows a five column UI (Photo below), rather than four columns on the S II and its 4.3" screen which will give it a good 310ppi density to be very close to the iphone's retina display. Also the Galaxy S III was confirmed to have Samsung's own Exynos Quad-core chip clocked at 1.5Ghz along with a 1GB RAM.

Also a new interaction feature is reportedly to be integrated on the Galaxy S III, It's called "Human Interaction" by Samsung and will use the front-facing camera to keep track of where your eyes are pointed and it will lock the screen when you look away.

Samsung security for the Next Galaxy or aka "Galaxy S III" device is at levels never seen before just before a new product launch. The Korean based manufacturer has been putting the innards of the new model inside a generic test box so that employees of Samsung can take the phone out in public for real-time testing. This prevents Samsung executives from finding photos of the unit on the internet the next day along with speculative rumors.

The device pictured on Gizmodo Brasil (Photo above) is that of this generic test box and is "Not even close to the final design. No leaks of the final design have been accurate."

As amazing as this sounds, with Samsung tightening up security for the Samsung Galaxy S III, insiders cannot even confirm that the sequel to the Galaxy S II will even be called the Galaxy S III. On the invitations for the May 3rd event at which the long awaited device is expected to be introduced, Samsung calls the handset the "next Galaxy".

Back last month, the Samsung GT-i9300 leaked and it was thought that perhaps this was the long awaited Samsung Galaxy S III. But that turned out to be incorrect as the model number pointed to the Samsung Galaxy M, a mid-range device due to launch next month. Some of this device features include eye-tracking to make sure that someone is viewing the screen, and can help work an automatic accelerometer that can determine if you are viewing your phone in portrait or landscape mode.

While the name of the Next GALAXY smartphone is often assumed to be "Galaxy S III", we are yet to hear the same being confirmed by Samsung.

Samsung has released its official app on the Google Play Store for its Mobile Unpacked 2012 event happening on May,3. In the description for this app they have used the term "galaxy s3". This is the first time we have seen Samsung use that name.

Get Unpacked App [Google Play]

Another day and another leaked info, NateNews, a popular korean News website stated that a Samsung Electronics official said, "Galaxy S3 will feature a dedicated button to 'S cloud' and one for 'speech recognition', etc. In addition to its predecessor there are two additional buttons mounted".

According to the Rumor, Here is what the Next Galaxy will pack:

1- Back Button (Standard on ICS)
2- Home Button (Standard on ICS)
3- Recent Apps Button (Standard on ICS)
4- sCloud shortcut Button (launch the s-Cloud App)
5- Speech recognition Button (Voice command)

According to this Samsung Employee the S3 will sport design features of the Galaxy Nexus. Other interesting facts are that the Galaxy S2 is in thickness and weight, 8.9mm thick and 121 G the S3 will be much thinner and lighter,with 7mm thin and the weight is expected to shrink even more than 2 ~ 3g. He also confirm that the device will have a 4.8" SuperAMOLED HD display with the new 1.5 GHz quad-core processor "Exynos 4412" along with Android ICS 4.0.3 onboard.

Samsung has changed the order of the keys again and placed it on the left unlike the Galaxy Nexus, which places it on the right.
