Samsung has proven to be a top competitor in the Android market and it’s all thanks to their most notable and profitable device to date, the Galaxy SIII (GS3) (“GS3 Brings record profits”). The GS3 makes organization and simplicity available at the touch of the screen. The phone boasts some awe-inspiring and exclusive technology, the likes of which have never appeared in a phone before now. Though not without its flaws, including a “sometimes” accurate voice controlled assistant (S-Voice) and an overheating battery, the GS3 is still an extremely capable smartphone loaded with user friendly features that are both smart and efficient.
These days, a smartphone is nothing without a high functioning camera and the GS3 features not one but two: an 8.0 megapixel rear facing camera and a 4.0 megapixel front facing camera. The multitude of options within the device’s camera function is particularly impressive. There is an automatic panorama setting within the camera options that is extremely easy to operate, allowing the user to capture beautiful landscape shots with a simple tap on the screen. Another noteworthy function of the camera is the “Best Shot” mode. This feature allows the user to take eight separate shots, as a quick burst, with just one touch. The phone will even suggest which image it feels is the best among the group but ultimately leaves the choice up to the user. The camera also has anti-shake technology built in and allows for customization of certain features such as flash and exposure so the user can capture the best possible image even with limited available lighting or unexpected movement.
Many of the GS3’s features are meant to create shortcuts for the user so he or she can multitask more effectively. For instance, the GS3 includes a feature that allows the user to “beam” information from one device to another for quick file sharing among other GS3 users. This feature, “S-Beam”, is especially resourceful as
