The battery last a long time and with the 2G phone, talk time can be up to 21 hours without having to recharge it. With the 3G phone, one can talk for 11 hours without needing to charge the phone.


S-Voice is a creative new feature, which allows users to control their phone through a voice recognition systems. Now, Samsung Galaxy S3 GT can ask their phone pertinent questions.


The best part is that the phone tracks your eyes, which means that the phone won't dim or turn off while you are looking at it. This is an excellent new user friendly feature.


One of the top features is direct call. No longer do users need to hit the call button. They can hold the device to their face and the number will be automatically dialed.


Smart Alert is another excellent featureon the Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 16GB. This 8MP camera comes with a 20 shot burst mode, which helps to deliver the best photo.


Another highlight of the Samsung Galaxy S GT is Face Zoom and Slide Show. Simply double tap the face to zoom and the automatic slide show will begin.

Furthermore, there is the ability to send images to people who are in the photos. This app is called Buddy Photo Share. Finally, groups tag allows users to tag multiple people at once.

Review: Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I've been a long time user of Samsung smarpthones since the original Galaxy S, and my current personal device is a Galaxy Nexus. Still, I wouldn't consider myself a Samsung fan, as I switch smartphones often enough.

Samsung Galaxy S III 4G Android phone

The Samsung Galaxy S III 4G takes all that we loved from the original Galaxy S III and adds 4G network capability. It certainly achieves impressive, super fast data speeds on the Telstra and Optus 4G networks and the latest software is as fast and smooth as ever. Unfortunately, all that extra speed comes at a cost of precious battery life. When Samsung launched its popular Galaxy S III Android smartphone in Australia back in May, the company said it was "confident" the lack of a 4G model wouldn't hinder sales of the 3G model. Over four months later, a 4G version of the Galaxy S III has hit Aussie shelves. The Samsung Galaxy S III 4G is certainly capable of super fast data speeds on the Telstra and Optus 4G networks, but all that extra speed comes at a cost of precious battery life.
Pros:
  • Excellent 4G speeds
  • Slick and fast software
  • Same great display and design
Cons:
  • Mediocre battery life
  • Can't edit home screen dock
