The new Samsung Galaxy S3 has finally been unveiled and as expected the model boasts very high specification together with some superb new features. The handset looks set to follow in the footsteps of the Galaxy S2 which was launched in 2011. This model went on to become the biggest selling phone of last year and Samsung are keen for the new model to replicate the success of its predecessor. We take a look at some of the key features present on this new phone.
Smart Stay is an interesting new feature on the Samsung Galaxy S3 which makes uses of the front facing camera on the device to optimise the user experience. The secondary camera is used to detect the movement of your eyes so that the handset knows if you are looking at what is displayed on screen or not. Users are notified that this function is working by a small icon that appears at the top of the display. By using this technology the phone will automatically dim the screen if you are not currently viewing any material and therefore improving the battery performance that you can expect from the model. The service can also detect the task that you are currently performing on the phone and make small adjustments to improve your experience.
Another area where the Samsung Galaxy S3 offers some excellent options is when it comes to sharing material. The new Allshare feature enables the handset to be wirelessly connected to a compatible television so that multi media content such as photographs can be easily displayed on the large screen. A second superb sharing feature is incorporated on this model in the form of Buddy Share. This clever technology uses facial recognition to identify people who are featured in photographs that you capture with the handset. The phone can then automatically text or email these photos to the person involved. The sharing features on the S3 are very impressive and it helps to make using your phone a much more social experience.
In a bid to compete with the popular iPhone 4S the new Samsung Galaxy S3 includes the new S Voice service. This voice recognition software enables users to control the phone with their own voice. S Voice currently supports 8 different languages including English, German, Korean and Spanish. A multitude of different tasks can be performed with this facility including initiating calls, sending e mails, requesting a song and waking the handset. Each of these tasks is performed with simple commands such as "snooze" which will silent the alarm on the phone and set it to activate again after a designated amount of time.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 not only impresses with its excellent specification but also with some of the excellent features that are included. S Voice is a great rival to the Siri service on the iPhone and the new Smart Stay technology helps preserve battery life by fully utilising the front facing camera on the phone.
