The Galaxy S III is a success to Samsung's best-selling Galaxy S II. It has a bigger, 4.8" 720p display. Its also the first device to have a quad-core Exynos 4412 processor with each core to clocked at a maximum 1.4 GHz. It packs NFC, wireless charging capability, and the latest wireless radios. It ships with Samsung's Nature UX interface, which is the latest version of TouchWiz to date. Its available in 16GB,32GB, and 64GB configurations.
Its also available in pebble blue or marble white.The Samsung Galaxy S3 is very thin and lighter for such a large phone at just 8.6mm and 133g. It is comfortable to hold, partly because Samsung has reduced the bezel size keeping the dimensions down as much as possible.The smartphone is almost exactly the same size as the HTC One X at 71 x 137 mm. It’s a really big phone and though it’s comfortable to hold it is sometimes difficult to use, having to stretch across the large screen with one hand simply due to its size. This is coming from a user with quite large hands so we fear that for a lot of users the device will be just too big for day-to-day usage.

Both look nice but we prefer the blue option.
Samsung Galaxy S3: Hardware
As expected the Galaxy S3 is powered by Samsung’s own Exynos 4 Quad processor, something we actually knew before the launch event. It is a 32nm chip based on the ARM Cortex A9 quad-core architecture and has a clock speed of 1.4GHz.Strangely Samsung hasn't specified the amount of RAM but our benchmarking app tells us that it has 780MB which the specification sheet would probably tout as 1GB.We're working on bring you the performance benchmark results but from a user perspective the Galaxy S3 is almost flawless. Samsung has managed to achieve the kind of smooth performance only reached by Apple's iPhone.
The biggest lag we found was the short delay between pressing the power button to wake the handset up and the screen coming to life. But even then the delay was minor.In terms of internal storage, the Galaxy S3 matches the iPhone 4S and has 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacity options. Much to our delight it also has a microSD card slot for expansion of up to a further 64GB. This choice is a big win in our opinion.
