Unless you’ve been sitting in a cave with your eyes tightly
shut and your fingers in your ears you may have heard that the Samsung Galaxy
S3 has well and truly arrived, being confirmed as the most pre-ordered device
in history, was it worth the hype?
Whilst only having had a brief play with the handset (thanks
to the nice people of the O2 store in Bolton) I managed to find answers to most
of the ponderings which were keeping me from putting in a pre-order myself!
Here goes;
Q: Is it as fast as Samsung led us to believe?
A: As far as performance goes, this device really seems to
fly, where it really performs is the multi-tasking capabilities. The pop-up
video player is just unreal, where it at first feels like a novelty, I can see
it being a really useful tool.
Short answer: Yes.
Q: The device has been described as ‘cheap’ in terms of
feel, is this true?
A: Honestly, I wouldn’t say the phone feels cheap at all, it
has a good solid feel, no creaky battery door or flimsy frame, though the phone
is lightweight, when has this ever been a problem? Though if you were to
compare this handset to the likes of the HTC One X, there is a dramatic
difference in weight and build solidity.
Short answer: Not really, unless you own a HTC.
Q: Is the display up to standard?
A: The first thing I noticed about the display was the
colours were just so natural, not so intense, and the resolution is
complementary to this. Upon watching some demonstration videos in the video
library this screen can really impress.
Short answer: Ooohh Yes.
Q: Why should I get one?
A: I would advise the Smartphone user of 2012 to go for the
Galaxy S3 for the same reason I would advise the consumer of 2011 to get the
Galaxy S2 – our communication is evolving, and our software is growing to cater
for our needs. In reflection of last year’s release, right now the Samsung
Galaxy S3 has every bit of power and more to handle what Android has to offer
in the near future, and will continue to lead and inspire in the market this
year.
Short answer: You know it’s right.
When I get a chance to put the phone through its paces I
will answer some more FAQ’s covering gaming
capabilities, battery life and more...
