Samsung Galaxy S3's battery goes BOOOOOOOM!

(Sorry, I'm a little over acting at the title) 

Everyone knows that Samsung's copying Apple's ideas and such for those people who can't afford or just hates Apple's amazing gadgets for no reason. You know how many people expect new stuff on new gadgets right especially geeks? So let's get to the point. Here's the story..

  Meanwhile in Ireland.. some consumer's phone exploded at its butt part. Unfortunately for Samsung, the overwhelmingly positive reception afforded to the S3 may be in danger or souring somewhat. after that being said, the dude from Ireland wrote among other comments that it might not be the fault of the phone itself, instead, he pointed out that maybe it was the combination of his car mount and his car’s heating system. 

Also, a South Korean student reported that his S3's battery exploded while in his pocket. Samsung responded by suggesting that the battery much have been exposed to massive external force to trigger the failure. So far, I believe no one was harmed. But still, this shouldn't be ignored.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Final Rumor Roundup & Thoughts

In less than 24 hours Samsung will officially release the long waited Samsung Galaxy S3. Just before the release, a big research, I’ll give you my final rumor roundup for the upcoming device.

In my opinion, the Samsung Galaxy S series are the best and most successful Android smartphones in the market. Both previous generations were excellent devices and the biggest opponents of the iPhone. 

Now let's take a look, on what I think the Samsung Galaxy S3 will look like and of course it's specks. Before you read, the following things you are going to read, are just rumors. They can be 50% right and 50% false, so please, keep that in mind.

Let's start with the specks:

Display: 4.8" Super Amoled HD+ 720p with Gorilla Glass 2

Processor: Samsung Exynos Quad-Core Chip clocked at 1.4 GHz (Confirmed)

Ram: 1GB

Storage: Two models with 16GB/32GB of internal storage, expandable with Micro SD card up to 32GB

Battery: 2050 mAH

Connectivity: 4G LTE & 3G Support, Wi-Fi

Front facing camera: 12.1 Mpix recording FULL HD 1080p and flash support

Back facing camera: 2 Mpix recording HD 720p

Software: Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) & TouchWiz 4.0 User Interface

Now let's take a look at the design. The Samsung Galaxy S3 is rumored to have glass front, high-quality plastic back, metallic sides, physical home button and two touch sensitive menu buttons.

Here is a photo from "PhoneArena", of the Samsung Galaxy S3, that I personally think it's the most valid.

Overall I think that the new ”Galaxy” will be the best Android phone in the market and one of the top 5 smartphones in the world, including the Apple iPhone 4S, the HTC One X, the Samsug Galaxy Nexus and the Motorola Droid Bionic.

With that being said, what's your thoughts on the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S3? Feel free to leave your opinions and questions that are related with this article, in the comment section below or mention me on Twitter @OrestGPap.

The Hidden Costs of "Free" Apps

Most Smartphone users know that free apps are often filled with advertising to make-up for the potential revenue lost from a user not paying for the application. While these ads allow free apps to exist they are also rather annoying and distract from any actual content. However, it is not well know that they could also pose a risk to your beloved Smartphone and possible even yourself.
