SAMSUNG HAS JUST RELEASED THE MUCH ANTICIPATED, EAGERLY AWAITED AND LONG NEEDED NEW GALAXY S III TO GREAT ACCLAIM.
ONLY GOD AND SAMSUNG KNOW WHEN IT WILL HIT MALAYSIAN STORES BUT I AM FLYING TO SINGAPORE TODAY 5 MAY 2012 TO TRY GET ONE AND I WILL SHOW MY PASSPORT AS PROOF.
ANYWAY IT IS A FOREGONE CONCLUSION THE NEW SAMSUNG S III WILL BE BETTER THAN ITS PREDECESSOR AS THE SUCCESSOR HAS A TENDENCY TO DO PRECISELY THIS OR ELSE WHY BOTHER TO LAUNCH IT AT ALL?
IT WAS RELEASED IN LONDON A FEW HOURS AGO AND EVERY SINGLE PHONE WAS SOLD OUT AS EXPECTED. LIKE THE NEW SAMSUNG TELEVISION, THE NEW SAMSUNG GALAXY S III RESPONDS TO YOUR VOICE AND EVEN ANTICIPATES YOUR NEXT STEP, EXACTLY LIKE MY DARLING FRENCH POODLE DEDIONE KEE WHICH OBEYS MY COMMANDS AND KNOWS WHEN I WILL HUG AND KISS HIM, THE DARLING ANGEL!
ANYWAY, MY FRIENDS IN LONDON HAVE GONE QUEUING AND THE FIRST TO BUY EMAILED TO SAY IT WAS THE BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD. I EAT BUNS SO THAT PHRASE DOES NOTHING FOR ME BUT I GET HIS DRIFT.
I HAVE NOT LAIN MY GRUBBY PAWS ON THIS BABE YET SO I CANNOT GIVE MY PERSONAL THOUGHTS BUT SAMSUNG HAS JUST OVERTAKEN NOKIA AND EVEN APPLE AS THE WORLD'S BIGGEST SELLER OF PHONES SO THEY MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT.
Remember Samsung first released the Galaxy smartphone in 2010 and sold 10 million phones in 10 months which must have been a record.
But then all these voice commands may not be that useful as most of us prefer to quietly and silently and secretly key in our commands using our fingers rather than our tongues. I would not want everyone sitting or standing next to me to hear what I am saying to my phone and worse, if my surrounding is noisy I may be forced to speak loudly or even shout.
But it is rather nice to be able to say 'Snooze' when my Galaxy S III's alarm goes off and I need to sleep a bit more. Then again, if my voice is heavy and drugged with sleep and alcohol, I wonder if my smartphone can slice through my tupor and understand my slurring!
Samsung Galaxy S III will be released first in Europe in May before going viral globally by August. Well I am using Nokia Lumia 710 right now as my precious Nokia Sirocco 8800 is under repair after 6 years of continuous, fault free use.

Samsung Introduces the GALAXY S III, the Smartphone
Designed for Humans and Inspired by Nature
Effortlessly smart
and intuitively simple,
Samsung GALAXY S III reveals
a new concept of smartphone
London, UK—May 3, 2012—Samsung
Electronics Co., Ltd, a global leader in digital media and digital convergence
technologies, announced today the third generation GALAXY S, the GALAXY S III.
Designed for humans and inspired by nature, the GALAXY S III is a smartphone
that recognizes your voice, understands your intention, and lets you share a
moment instantly and easily.
This sleek and
innovative smartphone has the enhanced intelligence to make everyday life
easier. With Samsung GALAXY S III, you can view the content like never before
on the device’s 4.8 inch HD Super AMOLED display. An 8MP camera and a 1.9MP
front camera offer users a variety of intelligent camera features and face
recognition related options that ensure all moments are captured easily and
instantly. Samsung GALAXY S III is powered by Android™ 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich,
with greatly enhanced usability and practicality to make life easier. Packed
with intuitive technology, the GALAXY S III delivers a uniquely personalized
mobile experience that refuses to be compromised.
“With the GALAXY
S III, Samsung has maximized the consumer benefits by integrating superior hardware
with enhanced smartphone usability,” said JK Shin, President and Head of IT
& Mobile Communications Division at Samsung. “Designed to be both
effortlessly smart and intuitively simple, the GALAXY S III has been created
with our human needs and capabilities in mind. What makes me most proud is that
it enables one of the most seamless, natural and human-centric mobile
experiences, opening up a new horizon that allows you to live a life
extraordinary.”
Introducing Natural Interaction
The GALAXY S III enhances
the interaction experience between the device and user. Smart enough to detect
your face, voice and motions, the GALAXY S III adapts to the individual user to
provide a more convenient and natural experience. With the innovative ‘Smart
stay’ feature, the GALAXY S III recognizes how you are using your phone –
reading an e-book or browsing the web for instance – by having the front camera
identify your eyes; the phone maintains a bright display for continued viewing
pleasure.
The GALAXY S III
features ‘S Voice,’ the advanced natural language user interface, to listen and
respond to your words. In addition to allowing information search and basic
device-user communication, S Voice presents powerful functions in regards to
device control and commands. When your phone alarm goes off but you need a
little extra rest, just tell the GALAXY S III “snooze.” You can also use S
Voice to play your favorite songs, turn the volume up or down, send text
messages and emails, organize your schedules, or automatically launch the
camera and capture a photo.
In addition to
recognizing your face and voice, the GALAXY S III understands your motions to
offer maximized usability. If you are messaging someone but decide to call them
instead, simply lift your phone to your ear and ‘Direct call’ will dial their
number. With ‘Smart alert,’ the GALAXY S III will also save you from trouble by
catching any missed messages or calls; your phone will vibrate to notify missed
statuses when picked up after being idle.
Easy and Instant Sharing
The Samsung
GALAXY S III is more than a personal device that can be enjoyed by one user -
it wants you to share and experience smartphone benefits with family and
friends, regardless of where you are. With the new ‘S Beam,’ the GALAXY S III expands
upon Android™ Beam™, allowing a 1GB movie file to be shared within three
minutes and a 10MB music file within two seconds by simply touching another
GALAXY S III phone, even without a Wi-Fi or cellular signal. The ‘Buddy photo
share’ function also allows photos to be easily and simultaneously shared with
all your friends pictured in an image directly from the camera or the photo
gallery.
With ‘AllShare
Cast’, users can wirelessly connect their GALAXY S III to their television to
immediately transfer smartphone content onto a larger display. ‘AllShare Play’
can be also used to instantly share any forms of files between GALAXY S III and
your tablet, PC, and televisions regardless of the distance between the
devices. Under AllShare Play is also the ‘Group Cast’ feature that allows you
to share your screen among multiple friends on the same Wi-Fi network; you can
make comments and draw changes at the same time with your co-workers,
witnessing real-time sharing on your individual device.
Human-centric Design with Uncompromised Performance
The GALAXY S III
not only presents features with enhanced usability, but also provides an
ergonomic and comfortable experience through its human-centric design. Its
comfortable grip, gentle curves, and organic form deliver a rich human-centric
feel and design. Inspired by nature, its design concept is the flow and
movement of nature. The elements of wind, water and light are all evoked in the
physical construct of the GALAXY S III. In its essence, the minimal organic design
identity is reflected in the smooth and non-linear lines of the device.
Available in Pebble Blue and Marble White at launch, Samsung will introduce a
variety of additional color options.
With a 4.8” HD
Super AMOLED display, the GALAXY S III offers a large and vivid viewing
experience. Samsung Mobile’s heritage Super AMOLED display even enhances to HD
and 16:9 wider viewing angles. To ensure faster content sharing and connectivity,
the GALAXY S III offers Wi-Fi Channel Bonding which doubles the Wi-Fi
bandwidth.
The GALAXY S III
also sports a range of additional features that boost performance and the
overall user experience in entirely new ways. It introduces ‘Pop up play,’ a
feature that allows you to play a video anywhere on your screen while simultaneously
running other tasks, eliminating the need to close and restart videos when
checking new emails or surfing the Web. Its 8MP camera features a zero-lag
shutter speed that lets you capture moving objects easily without delay – the
image you see is the picture you take. With the ‘Burst shot’ function that
instantly captures twenty continuous shots, and the ‘Best photo’ feature that
selects the best of eight photographs for you, the GALAXY S III ensures users a
more enhanced and memorable camera experience. HD video can be recorded even
with the 1.9MP front-facing camera, which you can use to capture a video of
yourself. Improved backside illumination further helps to eliminate blur in
photos that result from shaking, even under low lights.
Mobile payment is
also accessible with the device through advanced Near Field Communication (NFC)
technology. The gaming experience is enhanced through ‘Game Hub,’ providing
access to numerous social games, while Video Hub brings users high quality TV
and movies. Furthermore, Samsung Music Hub will offer a personal music
streaming service. Game Hub, Video Hub and Music Hub will be introduced in
select countries initially and soon rolled out to global markets.
The Samsung
GALAXY S III will be available from the end of May in Europe before rolling out
to other markets globally.
