A hi-decibel buzz in the tech world preceded the launch of Samsung's third version of its flagship Galaxy S phone. But the Galaxy SIII is not the eye-popping wonder that was expected. A 4.8-inch AMOLED display made of Corning Gorilla glass dominates the front, but the rear can be criticised as being 'plasticky'. Still, the SIII pips other Android phones with its 1.4 GHz quad-core processor which has a 1GB RAM, and some intelligent features. For instance, you can also call the person you are sending a message to, simply by bringing the phone close to your ear. Samsung calls this 'Direct Call'.
The SIII also sports a voice assistant, 'S Voice', that answers questions put to it, but it needs fine tuning. The eight megapixel camera (unfortunately without a dedicated button) is impressive and captures crisp images. Like the iPhone camera, this one too has an HDR mode for shooting in high-contrast lighting. The 2100 mAh battery is good. Buy it or not? Look at the price tag first.
