all right what's going on folks thanks for tuning in this is Clayton representing android 30.com your number one site for all things Android today we've got a review of the Samsung Galaxy s3 as you can see we've got the pebble blue version and this is also the t-mobile variant of the galaxy s3 you can see there we've got our carrier branding so before we get into the software and all the other great features of the Samsung Galaxy s3 let's just give the body a quick overlook you see here on the left we've got our volume rocker we can go up and down we're back here we have our LED we've got our camera and then our speaker here's our power button now on top we've got our headphone jack in our little area that we can pop the back off on bottom we've got our microSD as well as a little mic now I'll just peel the back off to show you what it looks like in there now there are some questions whether or not the back might lose its finish with a continuous bending but as you can see there it's not really a you know causing any damage this is a pretty strong backing here so it's not going to peel off anyways we've got our SIM card slot or expandable storage and then our battery here capable of NFC we've got our near-field communication will pop the back back on very quickly really nice the back goes on and off and just an incident anyways we've got our front-facing camera right here which is 1.9 megapixels our rear facing camera is 8 megapixels we've got our physical home button here and then you almost can't even notice we're a place for the capacitive haptic buttons are down here but when we turn them on you can in fact see them Samsung has done a really great job of hiding the buttons within the pebble blue finish if any as we turn that on we've got our lock screen the same lock screen as all of the galaxy s3s there's not going to be much difference in the t-mobile vairy enter the Sprint or Verizon or even the international version now as we move through our home screen we can see we have a lot of pre-loaded widgets there's not actually too much bloatware pretty much all of it is located right here we've got our visual voicemail t-mobile mobile hotspot access t-mobile the Amazon Appstore got some bonus apps some nice widgets included but we're just going to walk through the basic features of this foam then Amy's we pull down the notification bar we have all of our different toggles Wi-Fi Bluetooth GPS screen rotation airplane mode sync we've got our notifications here we can actually go into our settings where we have our Wi-Fi Bluetooth data usage under more settings is where we can actually enable our NFC and our Android Beam and also enable the S beam and we have some cool settings there now going back we have our sound settings now we can choose our device ringtone device vibration the key tones choose if there's touch sounds we can play the screen lock sound we can also enable and disable haptic feedback which I'm a fan of anyways we've got our motion settings our LED indicator settings our LED indicator is located on the top left and it flashes a nice little light whenever we have a notification we have our power saving mode we can go to our battery options see what's been draining the battery as you see here on cell standby the phone is lasted for two days one hour and 48 minutes and is 49% in discharging and actually see how long each individual thing has been going when we click the battery news we have our accounts and sync options we have our location services and then we have our developer options that are native with the Android Ice Cream Sandwich operating system now when we go to the about device we see here we're running Android 4.0.4 we've got our stock kernel and this is running the TouchWiz 4 overlay over the Android Ice Cream Sandwich operating system nothing our developer options we can choose to enable USB debugging we can show touches we've got a nice little lot cursor there we can force GPU rendering which is the the use of 2d hardware acceleration in applications as you see here we have all of our preloaded apps on here I haven't downloaded any really and we have infinite scrolling where we can just go all the way through we also have our widgets and under the widgets there's a lot of cool clocks we've got our s play manor we've got our email Gmail Google+ we can choose our audio settings right from there we've got our s suggest which suggests apps got our S Memo and this has infinite schooling as well you can watch on the bottom as it goes through and back again anyways how you would add one of these to the home screen you just grab it and you can bring it over and you can add it to the screen of your choice you can also create a folder create a page get the app info or delete it now when you bring delete it also uninstall zaps now anyways we will just click that that's fine we'll cancel that widget anyways a lot of the cool customizations we'll go through here go to the settings menu so wonder our lock screen options we can show an information ticker which is really awesome you have camera quick access we can enable we can show our clock including the dual clock and we actually turn our weather on a lot of cool other security features we have our face on lock we can also use a pattern or a pin and a lot of other ones there's some cool stuff now in conjunction with the face on lock our front facing camera actually has the smart stay feature where the phone can actually track the movement of your eyes and shut the screen off if you are not directly looking at it we can also change the font style on the font size and we cannot access the brightness from here there is no master brightness we can access our settings here we can create a folder easily like this and we can edit the home screen just like that and also access that by simply pinching and we get all of our home screens we can choose which one is our default home screen so these will just go into the camera and test it out we've got a lot of cool camera options without a burst shot on we can just simply click as it does have very very fast picture taking abilities now if we access our settings we can have a self portrait and turn our flash on and off under our shooting mode we have the option of single shot burst shot HDR smile Beauty panorama cartoon and we can also use our share shot which instantly uploads it via Wi-Fi we can go to our scenes here with a bunch of different scenes our exposure values there our focus mode where we can choose auto focus macro or face detection and choose our resolution or white balance ISO we can enable anti-shake we have Auto contrast GPS tagging can choose our image quality superfine finder normal so anyways the video capabilities are very awesome the 8 megapixel camera is great and then we also have our front-facing camera which works very very fine as well anyway as we go back while pressing the home button can actually allow us to remove our applications and also access the task manager then accessing the task manager we can free up our memory view which applications are active clear memory just like that we have got a lot of memory this model has two gigabytes of RAM and a Snapdragon s4 dual-core processor at 1.5 gigahertz so we'll just run a quadrant standard benchmark on this phone this will give you an idea of how fast it is our two gigabytes of RAM are really going to help the speed out okay so our device ended up scoring a forty eight hundred and thirty eight score which is very very high the CPU scored seventy seven hundred and sixty-one and the memory scored extremely high so you can see the memory is uh represented by the red bar and it has a lot more memory than any of these other phones the two gigabytes of RAM actually helps this phone out immensely now anyways we'll go back and we'll go over some of the more intuitive features of the galaxy s3 starting with our s voice navigate to Burger King and it brings up navigation we can actually do that I'm just going to go ahead and go back search the web for Samsung Galaxy s3 t mobile version there we go we have our voice confirmation from the little assistant and we successfully went to our web search of the galaxy s3 t-mobile version now anyways our web browser is very intuitive it comes with Google labs as well as our tab browsing just like that we have our incognito mode here and we can scroll through our tab just like this remove them simply by tapping the minus button there we have our web options here we have to choose our individual brightness right here actually we can access our downloads there remind me to wake up at 9:30 on June 30th there we go and basically it's just a really really intuitive feature the s voice is very awesome it just worked perfectly right there I was able to set the alarm navigate search the web anyways we've also got our S Memo which is a nice memo
