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 Officially Announced

The Samsung Galaxy S3 was just officially announced on Samsung's press event in London. Without any further do let's take a closer look at the phone’s features and design.

First of all, let's check out the specs:

Processor: Samsung Exynoes Quad-Core processor clocked at 1.4GHz

RAM: 1GB

Display: 4.8" Super Amoled HD (1280 x720 pixels)

Front facing camera: 1.9Mpix recording HD 720p video

Back facing camera: 8Mpix recording FULL HD 1080p video

Connectivity: HSPA+ 14.4 MBPs, 3G, Wi-Fi & Bluetooth

Battery: 2021 mAH

Memory: 16GB/32GB/64GB, upgradeable with Micro SD card

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

Samsung once again showed us how amazing devices she make. The company also announced that a 4G LTE models will be coming soon. Something that impressed me a lot is that it has an HDMI import. The Galaxy S3 also supports a voice assistant like Siri, which is called "The S Voice". Here are some examples of its capabilities announced by Samsung:  “In addition to allowing information search and basic device-user communication, S Voice presents powerful functions in regards to device control and commands,” Samsung explained in a release. “When your phone alarm goes off but you need a little extra rest, just tell the GALAXY S III “snooze.”  You can also use S Voice to play your favorite songs, turn the volume up or down, send text messages and emails, organize your schedules, or automatically launch the camera and capture a photo.” 

Here is a photo of the device itself. As you can see its super thin, the front is made by glass and the back by hyperglaze and it has two touch sensitive menu buttons and one physical home button.

Overall I think the new Samsug Galaxy S3 is a great device, which currently is both the best Android smartphone. It runs the latest version of Android, its quad-core, amazing camera and display, super thin and S Voice support. The third generation Samsung Galaxy S will be available in the Europe at May 29th, before it's live to the rest countries.
