You can't see anyone with smartphones these days. Until relatively recently, these gadgets were perceived by a large number of consumers as something new, supernatural and inaccessible to the average Russian, but today it is already very difficult to imagine life without them. These stylish and versatile devices will help pass the time on a trip or in long lines, and a large number of different options make them really indispensable.
South Korean company "Samsung" is one of the manufacturers of mobile equipment. A few years ago, mobile phones manufactured by a corporation from South Korea were not of good quality, quickly failed and were extremely unreliable. For several years, the South Korean manufacturer has managed to make a significant leap in its development, increase production volumes and significantly improve the quality of products. All this allowed the company "Samsung" for the first time in many years to become one of the leadingsmartphone manufacturers.
One of the brand's most popular smartphone lines has allowed the company to take a leading position in the global mobile industry. One of the most successful South Korean-made gadgets Samsung Galaxy-S3, reviews of which are mostly positive, will be discussed in this article.
Device package
In most cases, the Samsung Galaxy-S3 package has positive reviews. According to the owners of this stylish device, along with a smartphone, the user gets almost everything they need to work with it. The Samsung Galaxy-S3 comes with the following items:
- phone itself;
- charger to it;
- user manual;
- USB cable;
- wired headphones;
- li-ion battery.
Design
The appearance of the device is one of its significant shortcomings (according to the owners of the gadget). The smartphone looks too simple, its design is almost copied from previous models. Nevertheless, several color schemes, a thin body that fits quite well in the hand, and the relatively small dimensions of the device as a whole make for a rather pleasant impression of the gadget.
This model is promoted under a rather interesting motto of the unity of nature and technology, so we can assume that the rounded shape of the device is somewhat similar to a stone near the sea coast. Enhances the impression and the pattern covering the back of the device. Smartphone caseAvailable in white, blue and black colors. All three versions look quite good and it is really difficult to choose a clear favorite among them.
Dimensions
As for the dimensions of the flagship smartphone in 2012, it must be said that they are relatively small - 13.66 by 7.06 by 0.88 centimeters with a device weight of 133 grams. As you can see, the device turned out to be quite thin, and the small mass of the Samsung Galaxy-S3 also pleases. In the hand, the device lies quite well, easily fits into a pants pocket, does not interfere with walking and does not take up too much space.
Assembly and controls
There are absolutely no complaints about the assembly of the smartphone. About her Samsung Galaxy-S3 reviews of the owners are good. According to them, the plastic case is very well and tightly assembled. You can only find fault with the removable panel, which is slightly squeezed in the camera area. It is difficult to remove the back cover, as it is very rigidly fixed and pressed close to the surface.
There is no backlash over the entire area of the device: neither at the back nor at the sides. The buttons are great too. And although the Samsung Galaxy-S3 smartphone, reviews of which are mostly positive, was awarded a "satisfactory" rating for materials, it can be safely rated "excellent" for build quality.
The location of the smartphone controls is typical for most products of the South Korean company "Samsung". On the top panel of the device, the user will find a standard 3.5 mm jack, which is intended forspecifically for connecting headphones, a microUSB port, as well as a microphone. On the left side is the volume rocker, while on the right is the display lock button. I must say that they are very comfortable. It is a pity that the phone does not have a special button designed specifically for taking pictures. She would obviously not interfere here.
Under the display of the device there is a single key, supplemented by two touch zones "Functions" and "Back". A similar innovation can be observed in the Samsung Galaxy-S3 mini smartphone, reviews of which are even better than the model described in this article. These two zones have backlights, which, if desired, can be turned off completely or set their operating time.
Above the screen of this model, the consumer will be able to detect a silver earpiece, proximity and light sensors, as well as a front camera. Many users of such a wonderful device are also pleased that a light indicator has finally appeared here. I must say that the diode shines brightly, can notify you of missed calls, new messages, and also blinks when charging.
The back surface of the smartphone is smooth and even, like pebbles smoothed with water. At the top, the main camera slightly protrudes, which is edged with a silver frame. Between it and the body there is a small gap where dust constantly gets into. However, everything is relatively easy to clean, so only the most picky users of the gadget will be able to identify this flaw. Alsoon the rear panel there is a speaker hole and, of course, an LED flash, which is located directly next to the main camera.
Display
We are all gradually getting used to the extra-large diagonals of the display of mobile devices operating under the control of the Android platform. The Samsung Galaxy-S3 phone was no exception. And although the diagonal of its screen is not 6, but "only" 4.8 inches, it clearly cannot be called small. However, a similar display, if we take into account the reviews of the Samsung Galaxy-S3 owners, came to the taste of many buyers.
The screen of the device is made using HD Super AMOLED technology, has a resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels, and also supports up to 10 clicks at the same time. This version of the smartphone from the South Korean manufacturer "Samsung" did not do without PenTile, which noticeably affects the clarity of fonts. Most likely, only especially vigilant users will notice this, while other consumers will leave such a fact without any attention, since it does not catch the eye at all.
With a dot density of 306 pixels per inch, there is no reason to complain about the low quality of the image. Disadvantages in the display are visible only at close range, when the smartphone is located at a distance of 10 cm from the eyes. The picture is bright, but automatic adjustment does not work very well here. On the street, the screen brightness is practically not lost, although in this aspect the smartphone is slightly inferiorits counterparts in the face of Sony Xperia P.
Main and front cameras
Today, one of the main criteria for competition between modern gadgets is the quality of the camera. The best devices shoot at about the same level. Most users like to store the shots taken in their smartphones, so it is very rare for photos to go beyond the internal memory or memory card of the device. The capabilities of most modern phone cameras are so great that they allow you to upload your photos immediately to social networks, not to mention the highest quality video recording.
Smartphone from "Samsung" is equipped with a main camera, the resolution of which reaches 8 megapixels. The module also has an LED flash and, of course, automatic image focusing. The smartphone has a quick capture function, when the device takes a picture immediately after the shutter button has been touched. This function, unfortunately, does not always work correctly, so sometimes the pictures are blurry. The maximum photo resolution is 3264 by 2448 pixels. The main camera can also record video in FullHD resolution - 1920 by 1080 pixels.
Also, the Samsung Galaxy S3 phone, reviews of which will give you an additional idea about this device, is equipped with a front camera with a resolution of 1.9 megapixels and is designed for making video calls.
Samsung Galaxy-S3 smartphone specifications
The device operates undercontrol of the quad-core processor Exynos-4412 - Samsung's own development. The frequency of this processor reaches 1.4 GHz. Mali-400MP acts as a graphics adapter here. As for the RAM, its volume is 1 GB, while there is plenty of internal memory here - 16, 32 or 64 GB, depending on the configuration of the device. Moreover, if necessary, the user can use a microSD-format memory card, the capacity of which should not exceed 32 GB.
Operating system
The device from "Samsung" operates under the control of the platform "Android 4.0.4", which is complemented by a proprietary shell called TouchWiz. The smartphone is quite fast, and using it is a pleasure.
Communications
Among the communications in the device from the South Korean company "Samsung" it is worth highlighting the presence of the fourth version of Bluetooth, USB connectors, and a Wi-Fi module, which is designed specifically for wireless access to the Internet. Also worth highlighting is NFC technology and S Beam.
Battery and battery life
The smartphone from "Samsung" has a lithium-ion battery, the capacity of which reaches 2100 mAh. The advantage of this battery is that it is replaceable and if desired, consumers can purchase a spare battery if there are concerns that one will not be too convenient.
Ifgo to the Samsung Galaxy-S3 settings, you can turn on the energy-saving mode, which will significantly extend the battery life of the smartphone. You can force the processor to work at a lower frequency, reduce the brightness of the display, or put a different background.
The manufacturer claims that the battery life of the device is 9.5 hours of talk time and 290 hours of standby time. In normal mode, with not too frequent use, the phone is able to work during the day. In this case, everything depends on the loads on the device.
Conclusion
Summing up, I would like to say that you can read reviews about Samsung Galaxy-S3 more positive than negative. The speaker is also pleasing, which transmits the voice cleanly and clearly. As for the volume of the call, it is above average, and the vibration is average in strength. If the case materials were a little better, and the design was not so primitive, we could safely say that Samsung has turned out to be the perfect smartphone.
In any case, a product from a well-known South Korean manufacturer is unlikely to disappoint consumers. The device turned out to be of really high quality, and you can buy it at a price of approximately 15 thousand rubles. Of course, the cost is slightly overpriced, but for this money the consumer will receive a really high-quality and reliable device that will please him with its work for a long time.
