Samsung Galaxy S III officially announced in Mobile Unpacked Event, Impressive Features and Release details
LONDON – Months of rumors and speculation about the next Galaxy, I believe you already checked that online, too. Samsung finally revealed their new flagship smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S III in the Mobile Unpacked Event in London. Lot of people will want to know is just what are the improvement or new features of the new Galaxy from its predecessor.
According to Samsung, the phone’s minimal and organic design is inspired by nature, the glossy body and huge display makes it more pretty, looks easy to hold and provides an ergonomic and comfortable experience with enhanced usability.
Samsung introduced their own enhanced voice assistance called S Voice. It can do like Apple’s Siri can do, responds quickly to your words, checking weather update, call and send messages and even take photos. Another new feature is S Beam (an NFC based feature), It allows you to transfer videos, music and photos by placing two Galaxy S III back-to-back, a new and faster way to share your files. There is a sensor called Smart Stay that tracks your eyes to keep the screen bright and dim the it when you are not looking at it.
New Galaxy lets you play together and bring it onto big screen with your phone doubling as a controller. You can also access documents and multimedia files in your computer even if you’re somewhere else.
What I really like if the 8-megapixel camera that has many features like the zero shutter lag which let you takes the photo as soon as you press the button and wait less a second getting you back to camera mode. It automatically takes a burst of 8 to make a continuous scene and automatically selects the best photo out of the series. Rear facing camera can capture 1080p full HD image and video and front facing camera has 1.9-megapixel.
The new multi-tasking feature is called Pop-up-play which allows you to watch videos while doing something like mobile browsing, email or text.
