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.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Unveiled

Not to anyone's surprise, today at Mobile World Congress 2012 Samsung announced the Galaxy Note 10.1. Thankfully, this larger Note doesn't feature phone capabilities, and is only a tablet. To anyone who was hoping to catch a glimpse of someone with a 10-inch device to their ear, it's not going to happen...yet. The Note 10.1 does make use of Samsung's S-Pen (stylus), which I find to be more practical on this size of screen. No pricing or availability details were revealed, but lets hope for Samsung's sake that they have better luck with Apple this time around.

CES 2012: Samsung Upgradable TVs

Today was the pre-launch event of CES 2012, the last year of Microsoft’s presence as they follow suit a while after Apple felt they’d grown bigger than the event – which to a point, they have. Their announcements are important but, it’s easy for them to be swallowed up with the hype of the show around gadgets that you never knew that you’d need until today, (remote control spy helicopter from your iPhone/iPad).

This brings me onto Samsung's latest product line of TVs. Packing a primitive Xbox Kinect style interface into a TV whilst adding apps called “smart content” including Angry Birds. This sounds like a great mix of technology, but at the same time leaves me thinking whether it’s really necessary to have basic games on your TV when you’ve got games consoles for that. But what’s really intriguing with the new Samsung line is the consumer’s ability to upgrade it further down the line with “Smart Evolution,” which appears to be swapping the TV’s hardware out with a few expansion slots. This sounds like a great idea allowing the consumer to improve the TV keeping it future proof for longer. However, I’m not sure of its actual effectiveness as when you factor in the cost of potential upgrades versus a new TV with hopefully a better screen.
