Introducing: The Samsung Galaxy S III!

Samsung Galaxy S III white deals

Okay. So, yeah. Wow. The Samsung Galaxy S III. Phoar. Yep. Well, we're a bit lost for words here to be honest. This is a... good... phone.

Look, some friendly advice here, if you're looking for an entry-level or mid-range Android smart phone, stop reading right now. There are some decent phone deals to be had on it but generally, it comes down to that old conundrum – if you have to ask how much it costs then it's probably going to be too much. But if, on the other hand, high-specs and gorgeous phones be the food of love for you then read on, read on.

What's all the Fuss About?

So what's so good about the Samsung Galaxy S3? After all, its rounded corners look a bit old fashioned these days, it doesn't have Flash support for viewing videos on the web, Samsung's TouchWiz user interface on top of the Android is a bit difficult to use sometimes and counter-intuitive so... why all the fuss?

Well... the massive 4.8 inch screen with 720p resolution being run by a 1.4GHz quad-core processor – that's just nuts! Most phones are still single-core but the with Galaxy S3, Samsung said to hell with that, we're going to go straight for a quad-core processor! The result? Very smooth motion, almost no lagging, the ability to play top of the range 3D mobile phone games and to carry out multiple tasks at the same time. Indeed with the Pop-up Play option you can have a little video playing in the corner while you write out a text or an email.

What else? Well, there's also Samsung's Music Hub which allows you to browse and download music from a significant library of tracks and albums. There's a nice little radio app that allows you to record from the radio.

S Planner is the calendar app and integrates well with features like S Memo, which allows you not only to type text in but also to scribble and draw with your finger – and then put that in to the calendar app if you like.

If you've had enough of having to use your fingers to operate the phone though you can use the S Voice feature which will carry out tasks through voice command. It's like the iPhone's Siri feature, but to be honest neither of them are one hundred percent reliable, and of the two Samsung's S Voice is actually the lesser. If you like though you can even set up the phone so that it requires your face and voice to unlock it.

That's another feature that the Galaxy S3 has – an eye tracker that can recognise when someone is looking at the phone. The main point of that is that it won't turn the phone off if it can sense someone is looking at it. So long as you're not paranoid and don't mind the idea of your phone watching you, then that's a very nice little addition.

What more can we say about this phone? It has an 8 megapixel camera and records HD video. The screen is HD Super AMOLED and has a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. You can choose between having 16GB and 32GB internal storage, and you can add a microSD card for even more. It runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, which has only recently been surpassed by Jelly Bean, and is likely to get an upgrade to the latest Android OS in the near future. In short, this is a phone at the very top of its game and is unlikely to be pushed aside by anything else for some time to come.
