Top 10 features of Samsung Galaxy S3




In my view, these are the killer features of the brand new Samsung Galaxy S3

1. Monster screen- The screen is a whopping 4.8 inch (12.2cm). At that size, you are in gaming heaven! Plus you see picture and videos much better.

2. Best photo option- An 8MP camera with Best Photo' function allows you to pick the best of four shots the camera takes in one single click. With this feature you are four times more likely to have the best shot of that rare occasion where you can only click once.

3. Smart screen- The screen knows when you are awake! A second camera (1.9MP) on the front of the device plus face recognition technology enables the device to track your eye movements and therefore ensure that the phone never goes dim or goes into lock mode as long as you are looking at it. How cool is that!

4. Wireless transfer- S-Beam feature makes it possible to transfer files, documents, videos and other content from one Galaxy S3 to another. Works best if you and your spouse or best friend have this phone.

5. Wireless projection- Allshare allows you to play and see the content of your device on a television screen etc without using wire.

6. Voice command- S Voice let’s you give voice command to the device. You can ask your phone to play songs, adjust the volume, send text messages or emails, and take photographs.

7. Missed call notification. The phone vibrates when you pick it if you have missed some calls.

8. Optimised battery- You can go 24hours before needing a recharge. Well, that’s something considering the size of the screen. With many Smartphones with much smaller screens, you’d be lucky to go a full day.

9. Call clarity- Noticeably clearer call quality than most phones on the market.

10. Wireless charging- With an optional accessory of a docking unit, you don’t need wires to recharge your phone. Just dump it on the docking unit in your office or car.

Samsung Galaxy S III hits Nigeria

Samsung Electronics’ latest flagship Smartphone, Galaxy S III is now available in Nigeria, only a few weeks after launch in Europe. The much expected device was formally unveiled to Nigerian phone users at Samsung Brand Shops at The Palms Shopping Mall in Lekki and Ikeja Shopping Mall, in Alausa, Ikeja, both in Lagos. The new phone is the follow up to the very popular Galaxy II, which was critical to Samsung overtaking Nokia to become the world’s best-selling mobile phone maker.

Samsung is hoping to consolidate the success it achieved with Galaxy S II by enhancing some of its most popular features in this latest device. Galaxy S III comes with a 4.8 inch (12.2cm) screen, an increase on the 4.3 inch screen of its predecessor, and much bigger than the 3.5in display on the iPhone 4S. It is one of the largest screens on smartphones ever.

The arrival of the phone on Nigerian shores put paid to speculations as to when mobile phone users in the country can have access to the Smartphone which has enjoyed rave reviews across the world.

Speaking at the consumer launch of the device at the weekend, Donald Etim, Head, Corporate Marketing, Samsung Electronics, said that the Samsung Galaxy S III is designed to respond intuitively and naturally to human use and interaction. “Once again, we are putting the ‘Next Big Thing’ in the hands of consumers. The Galaxy S III introduces a completely new way of sharing and socializing that no other mobile phone can. The device essentially balances ergonomics with intuitive use, making it an extension of the user,” he said.

It would be recalled that Samsung Electronics overtook Apple Inc. in the last quarter of last year to become the world’s largest smartphone vendor amid a widening technology and legal battle between the two companies.

During the period, Samsung shipped 27.8 million smartphones, taking 23.8 percent of the market, according to the United Kingdom- based renowned research consultancy, Strategy Analytics. Apple’s 17.1 million shipments, comprising 14.6 percent of the market, pushed Apple to second place, the firm said, adding that Nokia maintained its third position.
