Samsung Galaxy S3 Features

The Samsung Galaxy S3 is a quadcore processor-powered it has innovative features and big on screen, but is it enough to beat Apple's iPhone 4S into submission?

When I first saw the Samsung Galaxy S3, we weren't blown away by its design. It's a good-looking phone, admittedly, but it uses a traditional, removable backplate to cover the battery and various card slots. We preferred the smooth, unbroken appearance of unibody designs such as the Nokia Lumia 800 and HTC One X.

The Korean company has wisely avoided confusion by naming its successor the Galaxy S3. Offering a quad-core technology, larger screen, NFC and Android 4.0 out of the box, this is unquestionably the biggest Android hardware launch of the year.

Pros

Android 4.0 

Beautiful 4.8 inch display

Handles speedy T-Mobile 4G network really well

Thin

Snappy and very responsive

Cons

Back cover feels flimsy when taken off

No SD card included

Wish it was black
