Samsung Galaxy S3 A Review of What to Know Before You Buy
The much-anticipated smartphone, at least in the Android world, has finally hit the United States market! The Samsung Galaxy S3 is the next step in the Samsung line of Android phones and offers 4G speeds on its Ice Cream Sandwich platform. With the price of the phone exceeding six hundred dollars, it is best to know the ins and outs before you purchase or pre-order!
Samsung Galaxy S3 Has a New Design
The changes in design have been extreme. The phone is lightweight, just less than five ounces in weight and it is about five by three inches big.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Interface and Some New Cool Features
Now that we have discussed simply what you will see on the Samsung Galaxy S3, let us tear the phone apart a bit. The screen is very close to the equivalent of the iPhone’s sharp HD screen. There are only three other Android phones that have the HD screen, so this is still fairly new to the market. However, there are still issues with the auto-brightness. With the Samsung Galaxy S3, you can see how it’s trying to preserve battery life, so sometimes it dims it too much. The best difference in the screen is just the immense change in sharpness of the picture between all three of the Galaxy S series phones.
Of course, one of the coolest features on the Galaxy S3 is that it now has a completely interactive lock screen. If you touch the screen, you will see a water ripple and hear a water drop sound. After a [...]
