Galaxy S III
Samsung's latest smart phone aimed at closing the gap with Apple's iPhone 4S. Galaxy S III features a large 4.8-inch Super AMOLE screen that is significantly bigger than the 3.5-ich high-resolution display on the Apple iPhone 4S. Yet, it's thinner and lighter compared to the iPhone 4S. Powered by Ice Cream Sandwich, or Google's Android OS version 4.0, the Galaxy S III offers a slew of software enhancements such as 'smart stay' that doesn't dim the screen if it sees a face, 'S voice’ that offers improved user experience with voice recognition and response, and 'smart alert' that helps the user to avoid unnoticed calls.
The built-in 8-megapixel camera supports zero lag from the time the user taps the screen to the capture of the image and successive shooting within 1 second. The phone comes in blue or white and in three memory sizes (16GB, 32GB and 64GB), with the ability to add memory via a microSD card.
