Galaxy S3
The Galaxy S3 is the best phone on the market to use the most popular
operating system, Google’s Android. It’s also the first phone to come close
to generating the level of excitement that Apple enjoys.
Key to the S3’s appeal is a combination of lovely design, a beautiful 4.8”
screen and a fast processor. Highlights include ‘Smart Stay’, which uses the
front-facing camera to track your eyes as you look at the phone - as long as
you're looking, the display won't go to sleep. As yet, it’s not quite
consistent, but this seems like a feature that will be standard soon.
The camera offers decent quality, a burst mode and integrates with Facebook to
automatically recognise the people in your pictures. And the huge battery
(2,100mAh) will get most users easily through the day.
Fans of the iPhone dislike the size of the S3 – the screen is enormous, even
if the device is thin – and for feeling plasticky compared to the iPhone’s
glass-and-steel solidity. But the sales figures speak for themselves. Though
when the new iPhone comes out users will have a proper point of comparison
