hey guys it's brandon minimun from pocket now calm the samsung galaxy s3 was just announced i wanted to fire up the camera real quick and talk about three things that I'm really excited about and three things that really disappoint me let's get to it okay so number one something that really makes me excited is the quad-core Exynos processor the samsung galaxy s2 had a blazing-fast dual core Exynos processor that even to this day is one of the fastest cpus out there even compared to the Tegra 2 in some cases the Tegra 3 at least in terms of day-to-day feel the the XO nose is a winner and a quad-core exynos sounds really good to me so really excited about that number two is the bezel of the galaxy galaxy s3 if you look really closely the bezel is extremely thin and we're getting to the point where we're almost ready to have a phone that has an edge-to-edge display whether that even makes sense as another discussion but an edge-to-edge display is beautiful it is gorgeous having the screen take up as much of the facade of the device as possible is a really interesting prospect and the galaxy s3 interestingly goes to the edge on the top and the bottom and the left and the right even more so than the galaxy s2 did so it's really going to provide a tremendously big screen experience number 3 thing I'm excited about is smart stay a feature called smart stay that actually tracks the movement of your eyes to determine when the screen should be on and when it should be off I'm not exactly sure how this is going to work and whether it's going to destroy battery life it might but it's a really cool idea how many times are you there looking at a webpage or perhaps some sort of video and the screen dims after a certain period of time and you've got to keep tapping on the screen and tapping on the screen because it is dimming down thinking that you're not using your phone with smart stay hopefully that annoying tap tap will be a thing of the past and we won't have to worry about it now let's talk about three things that are tremendously disappointing with the samsung galaxy s3 number one it's got a pentile display ah yes a pentile display like the droid razr like the HTC One S the pen tile display means that pixels the sub pixels are actually shared between each pixel so that means you will probably see pixels on the galaxy s3 if you look closely the HTC One X has it right it's got an RGB sub-pixel configuration which is a fancy term to say that each pixel has its own sub pixels that are not shared between other pixels so that's really unfortunate of the the plus here is that the galaxy s3 has an AMOLED display so it'll have fantastic contrast way above and beyond what you get on an LCD but again pentile pentile pentile we don't want to see pentile anymore number two disappointment which is really the number two and three is the design and the materials used in the galaxy s3 the galaxy s3 looks like something that my mother could have come up with an iteration of the galaxy s2 it's bigger in every dimension it's taller it's wider it's a little bit thicker it's got a rounded shape which is kind of predictable I mean galaxy s2 was very squared off so you know what makes sense of the galaxy s3 would have a little bit of rounded shape to it Samsung really didn't push the bar here and they didn't push the bar in terms of materials either it doesn't use any ceramic materials is not using metal it's using glass and plastic just like every other phone out there that said it looks pretty nice it's got a an interesting finish whether you go with the blue or the white but again this is Samsung's flagship phone for 2012 and into 2013 we would have hoped that they would have pushed the limit a little bit terms of what's possible with smartphone design because you know the iPhone 5 is going to do some really cool stuff whenever that's released so that was top three and bottom three features as I see it with the galaxy s3 I haven't gotten a chance to play with the device we've got a guy an editor tony is going to be bringing you some hands-on coverage shortly so he'll be able to comment more so on these on these things and we'll get the galaxy s3 interview as soon as possible because I'm really excited about it and I hope to make it my daily driver for a while hopefully it's a worthy successor to the galaxy s2 so what three things interest you the most and what three things are you the most disappointed about what the galaxy s3 let us know in the comments and if you like this video give us a thumbs up thanks for watching and that's it for now you
