whoa hi I'm Claire diverge and this is the Samsung Galaxy s3 the third-generation Samsung's flagship Galaxy S Android line like his predecessors the galaxy s3 comes with a super-long spec sheet highlighted by 1.4 gigahertz quad core Exynos processor a 4.8 inch Super AMOLED display with HD resolution and a very generous 2,100 milliamp hour battery physically the s3 is close to the first generation Galaxy S than a second moving to a more rounded look and restoring the glossy plastic back cover of the original it also borrows a neat trick from the Galaxy Nexus in heaven and disguised status LED light the power button is still mounted on the side samsung hallmark which I approve of though the Android 4.0 of software keys are replaced by samsung standard combination of two capacitive keys a month ago home button these actually work surprisingly well and were still often needs a dedicated menu button which Samson provides and the most asking menu is accessible by holding down the home key I find Samsung's implementation hit the most intuitive for among all Android 4.0 devices including the Galaxy Nexus for most people will compare the galaxy s3 against however will be HTC's One X which is the same screen resolution is nearly identical in size and also has a quad core version HDS biggest advantage is in display technology where the One X offers far better white balance than the blue tinted Galaxy S free although Samson is clearly the performance champion running our usual Suites and benchmarks revealed the galaxy s3 to be the most powerful phone particularly in terms of graphics that we've tested yet those capabilities have put to good use by the camera which produces crystal-clear images and is also among the best we've seen Samsung adds a burst shot mode to the galaxy s3 much like HD does with one series although samsung's camera software is in the hole far less polished and HTC's a neat addition from Samsung is a new picture in picture mode video which allows you to playback a movie while you still using the phone opinions will be divided by the aesthetic differences between the One X and the Galaxy s3 but Samsung definitely wins on a software front the new nature UX version of TouchWiz is the least offensive Android skin I've tested yet partially because the phone is so blindingly fast it makes the user experience extremely smooth the app drawer on the Galaxy is free reminds me of some third-party launchers which is a good thing in terms of how clean and tidy it is plus it also lets you hide applications that you don't want to see the slide down notifications menu also includes media playback controls and set of ten toggles which gets white between for quick access speaking of media playback the galaxy s3 is easily capable of handling 1080p video does resolution at which records after all and comes with a neat little trick allowing you to pull video by putting your palm on top the display the support of Samsung's comprehensive suite of motion controls which also include picking up the phone to dial the number of someone you're texting all swiping a palm across the screen to capture a screen shot smart stay is another edition from Samsung using the front-facing camera to detect if you still look into the screen and keeping it on although the doesn't work terribly well in the dark browning of the Samsung extras is s voice which you can consider a Siri for Samsung Android phones like Apple's voice assistant the utility of this app is still very limited overall Samsung has made a huge effort to enhance a software suite and some of the additions are neat but none of them could be considered unique selling points for this device the things that will get people on board at the excellent processor on camera plus the extra large battery the HTC One X still holds the advantage for me in having the best smartphone this brand market wherever the Garcias free offers a lot of compelling reasons to look samsung's way as well
