All of us here at THN towers are big lovers of all things Apple, and indeed the website could not run without its superb technology including the iPhone, which most of the crew depend on. However, we’re always open to anything new and exciting, which brings us to the Samsung Galaxy S III, which last week launched on the Three network in the UK.
The phone is a beast! Boasting a whopping 4.8″ HD Super AMOLED display (compared to the Apple iPhone 4S’s 3.5″) — so great for watching movies, superb 1.4 GHz quad-core processor, 8 megapixel low light camera with auto-focus and LED flash, full HD video recording and playback, (up to) 16GB built in memory and much more, this is going to be a force to be reckoned with on the heavily competetive UK smart phone market.
According to the official press release, the phone has a stunning design with gentle curves, is easy to hold and comes in marble white and pebble blue. It’s able to make calls by simply moving the phone towards your ear, tags your Facebook friends automatically after taking a photo and can wake up from the lock screen with a simple voice command. Add to this a screen with stunning clarity and colour, superfast processing and you get an amazing experience all round.
We’re yet to try the new Galaxy S III, so we’ll reserve judgement until we do, but we can’t help but be slightly excited by its prospects.
Three are offering the phone for free on The One Plan for £34 per month, offering a ‘fear-free mobile internet experience, with a guarantee of no surprise out of bundle data charges.’
