Advertisements for the new Galaxy S3, the new Android smartphone from Samsung, claims that GS3 was “designed for humans.”
The Galaxy S3 is available on all of the major U.S. mobile carriers for about $200 with contract. One Popular review from a user at the Huffington Post said of the new smart phone “The Galaxy S3 is an attractive phone with whip-quick speeds, a large, hypnotically beautiful screen and superior battery life. The camera cannot compete in image quality with those of the HTC One X or the iPhone 4S, but every other experience central to the success of a smartphone feels premium, state-of-the-art, and — and this is the descriptor that I constantly find myself returning to — fast.”
Breakdown of the Galaxy attributes by reviewers:
SPEED – “Scrolling on the touchscreen is as smooth as it’s ever been on Android, nearing, though not equaling, the sleekness of the iPhone and Windows Phone. Speaking of smooth, the lock screen lets you swipe in any direction to unlock the device — that’s neat, and a welcome change for those trying to access their phones on-the-go.” Huffington Post
VISION – “The 4.8-inch display likely will turn some off immediately. But despite the big screen, the GS3 is slimmer and weighs less than the iPhone 4S, with its comparatively tiny 3.5-inch screen. (Part of that’s due to the plastic backing which — thanks to some clever material finish — has a polished non-plasticky feel to it.)”
CAMERA – “The front camera (2 megapixels) also falls short. Neither camera captures light or color as well as those on the iPhone 4S.” – Blogger
BATTERY – “All day, easily, dancing, prancing into the nighttime.”
ONE MINOR COMPLAINT OF USERS: The home button is a bit hard to press in with one hand.
