Samsung has officially unveiled its next-generation Android smartphone, the Galaxy S3. The phone is powered by Exynos 4212, a quad-core processor running at 1.4GHz.
Galaxy S3 runs on Ice Cream Sandwich, the latest version of Android operating software. The phone has a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 720P, 1GB RAM, 16/32GB storage with a slot for microSD card, 8MP camera with burst mode, zero shutter lag and backlit sensor, 2,100mAh battery, Wi-Fi, 3G and Bluetooth. The phone weighs 133 grams and has a thickness of 8.6mm.
One of the unique features in Galaxy S3 is its ability to track the eye movement of the user. Samsung calls the feature SmartStay and claims it will make using Galaxy S3 more intuitive. The phone also has S Voice, a feature similar to Siri on iPhone, that will help users in doing several tasks through voice commands.
The new handsets will be available by the end of May in Europe and it will come in two colors (Pebble Blue and Marble White). Launches in Asia, the Middle East and Africa will follow.
