Apple and Samsung - who would have thought five years ago that these two companies will contend for leadership in the smartphone market? With Nokia, Microsoft , Blackberry will be in the category of "catch-up" that Symbian and Windows Mobile will go into the shadows of history, and will be replaced by Android and iOS?
No industry IT does not change so rapidly and so dramatically, as a branch of mobile technology. It is in smartphones first introduced most advanced inventions, namely mobile computers embody all the interesting developments.
Stronger than me and growing market dictates the conditions device developers. To survive, let alone take the lead may only those companies that are investing huge efforts in the development and implementation of "the iron" of new ideas and plans. That breakthrough technologies and bold ideas can attract users, the general public. As shown, they can even create new requests, market segments, to change people's attitude to the imposed restrictions, which they could not accept before. Such companies are Apple and Samsung - each in its cause, yet the relationship between these factors is.
Another confirmation of the importance of devices from both companies to become public presentation. Perhaps the emergence of any new electronic device is not cluttered with such rumors, speculation, excitement, delight and disappointment, as the emergence of a new iPhone or Samsung Galaxy S. Themselves of happy pumped up to the presentation and turn it into a show.
Both companies - friends and rivals, collaborate and simultaneously Dozens of lawsuits. Borrowing ideas from each other, both legal and illegal use of technology - all at the same time separates us and makes them dependent on each other.
This review focuses on the new flagship of Samsung, one of the most anticipated mobile devices of 2012, the third model in the family of Galaxy S - Samsung Galaxy S 3 (we'll use on Arabic numeral in the model name, not to force you to distinguish between S III and S II).
Package Contents and Features
Environmentally friendly - we are reminded of this device makers, is only to pick up a box of them.Indication of the water-soluble dye is applied to one side of the package. Thick white cardboard around the communicator, battery and accessories, protecting them. All useful information about the mobile computer on the rear side of the box: lists the main features include the name of the model and hosts hundreds of logos used technologies.

Design and appearance
The third model in the Samsung Galaxy S has departed even further from what is called the "classic look iPhone». If the first Galaxy was externally almost complete copy of iPhone 3G, which did not fail to use the Apple in the lawsuits, the other Galaxy smartphones apple company recalled only vaguely. Of course, we have not seen the iPhone 5, but with a high degree of confidence we can say - Galaxy S 3 is similar only to himself or anyone anymore.
On the advantages and disadvantages of the third Galaxy design can argue indefinitely: some would call communicator "shovel" for similarity with the long and thin blade of the tool, another hero of the review will be remembered minimum shell thickness and extremely narrow rim huge display. In general, the design of Samsung devices to look for the least: the company always won the attention of consumers is not the exterior refinements, but powerful and wonderful filling displays.
It should take three Galaxy S in hand, and start to feel unusual subtlety the communicator, the look is at once confined to the picture on the screen - everything else in the physical shell of the communicator again.
Compared to the Galaxy S 2 housing news was a little longer, there are fewer lines of faces, the transitions between them are more rounded. Width and thickness of the communicator is almost not changed, he just stretched out behind the increased diagonal screen. Increased weight of the device. If you compare the new product with other flagships market the summer of 2012, it is not out of the general trend to increase the weight of the device and increase the length of the body.Physical parameters Galaxy S 3 and its main rival HTC One X and does essentially the same.
| Device | Dimensions in mm | Weight, g |
| Samsung Galaxy S 3 | 137 × 71 × 8,6 | 133 |
| Samsung Galaxy S 2 | 125,3 × 66,1 × 8,5 | 116 |
| Samsung Galaxy S | 122,4 × 64,2 × 9,9 | 119 |
| Apple iPhone 4S | 115,2 × 58,6 × 9,3 | 140 |
| HTC One X | 134,4 × 69,9 × 8,9 | 130 |
Screen sizes are new items that the thumb covers only half of its area when working with your device with one hand. Even if you catch the computer in the middle of the thumb still does not reach all corners of the display. Only by sacrificing secure grip, the author had great difficulty finger of one hand to reach out directly to all four corners of the screen. With the third version of its Samsung Galaxy S finally became communicator, which is convenient to operate with only two hands.
To the Editor of the computer went to a white appearance. This option is subjective of course, is a bit ordinary. White glossy plastic makes the smartphone even more like a matter of personal hygiene, which was so fond of comparing modern monoblock communicators wits in online forums.The second version of the device until the colors are sold in Russia - metallic blue - looks more interesting.
The main advantage of white plastic - it hides the fingerprints. I can not see them on the silver material, of which the key and edge hardness extending around the perimeter of the housing mobile computer. Apparently, it is also plastic, but very sturdy. In general, the assembly device claims are not all elements of design fit very tightly and securely. Squeaks and gaps that have disappeared in the most cheap Chinese smartphones available and the flagship Samsung.
Despite its size, the device is easy to hold in hand. The width and thickness of the shell of mobile computers provide secure grip, the fingers turn out right over control keys and sound nutrition. In relation to the review of the hero is the case pockets ambiguous: in his pants pocket, he still fits, then about to shove the device in your shirt pocket, you can easily forget.
Arrangement of design elements in the Galaxy S has undergone three changes compared to the previous model of the device. The main key in the bottom of the front panel of the computer has changed its shape, and has already become wider. Subjectively, it had a negative effect on the usability device management. Additional camera and sensors at the top of the front panel are now on the right side of the phone speaker. Left of it now is an information LED - Samsung a huge step forward in terms of ergonomics. Now the owner of the communicator does not have to worry and wonder if charged his companion received any new calls and messages, there is a notification from the system - just look at the LED. Surprisingly, Samsung took 3 years and a lot of devices to add a single light bulb.

A set of soft keys and their location has not changed: to the left of the center key is the button to display the menu of the program, right - back to the previous screen. They still tend to be inadvertently activated.
Location speaker on the back of the device has also changed. Thickening of the lower part of the body he now has moved up and is located next to the camera lens. The very same camera is on the ledge of a smaller size in comparison with the Galaxy S 2. In general, the back panel of the communicator has become more even.
The battery cover - she also has a rear panel - now covers the entire area of the body and goes to the edges of its ends. Detach it is not a problem, as well as set back. It is flexible, but check it to break once again not to be.
After gaining access to the battery compartment is possible to replace the memory card without turning off the power. By the way, if you look at the location of the battery and card microSIM, the question arises: what is, in fact, due to the need for a SIM-card slot in this format? Many places that would fit easily SIM-card and the normal size.
The volume keys and power are in their usual places: the first - on the left side of the device, and the second - on the right. There is still no single button to control the camera.
Top of the Samsung Galaxy S 3 are the headphone jack and an optional microphone. The main microphone and Micro-USB-compatible connector located on the bottom edge.
How then eventually turned Samsung Galaxy S 3 externally? Anyone can solve this problem for yourself. In our view, the hero of view - not the standard design frills, but claims to objective appearance novelty not. Design features have both negative and positive. The former include a narrow and inconvenient center key, and no reasoned application card format microSIM. About the traditional lack of buttons to control the camera and triggered at the wrong time and at all touch buttons can not recall. Advantages in the design of new products: flattened rear panel of the case and the device is extremely convenient data LED.
Software
There is nothing surprising in the fact that the Samsung Galaxy S 3 is running on the latest versions of Android, namely 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich). There is also no surprise that Samsung has set the communicator firmware shell TouchWiz.
It's best to identify innovations in the program stuffing hero review, comparing it to its predecessor, which have the latest firmware update to Android 4.0.3.
Lock screen with Galaxy S 3 has learned to send the user directly to multiple applications: phone calls, Samsung ChatON, browser and camera. Also, it displays information about missed calls and messages. Thus achieved functionality, which appeared in HTC Sense last year. To gain access to your device no longer need to drive a finger across the screen at all, enough to touch it and tilt the device itself. All this is certainly convenient, but does not make sense from a security perspective.Methods for safe lock screen (password, face recognition, pattern, PIN-code) added one more - the face and voice (just once).

Changes in the shell of the main screen of the minimum: weather widget teamed with a clock, a denser arrangement of icons allowed to place one more icon in the list of core applications. List of the main settings of the communicator in the taskbar has grown and became a scroll horizontally.
 |  |
 |  |
Here is a list of applications which changes the appearance dramatically. First, on a separate tab moved all the available widgets. Secondly, there was a separate list of applications installed by the user. Third, now the icons of individual programs can be hidden.
 |  |
Most branded applications received prefix «S» in the title: S Memo , S Planner , S Suggest , S Voice . The first of them - a well-known owners of Galaxy Note app to create notes, text and graphics. Second - Calendar planner sync with Google. Third, as the name implies - a collection of applications that are to be downloaded and installed on the device according to Samsung. In the last application, S Voice, is in more detail.

Electronic assistant Siri has become the basis for building a new type of user interaction with the computer. Different Voice existed before and developed now, but it was Siri brought this technology to the next level and has attracted the attention of a wide audience - thanks to a huge army of fans of devices Apple. Naturally, Samsung, a major producer of competing devices in the segment of mobile computers, could not leave the appearance of this program unattended. Response to the emergence of Siri was S Voice.
It is worth noting that in the Samsung Galaxy S 2, there is an application for voice recognition, but its functionality is limited to a set of primitive actions: make a call, dial the message, play a song from the library. Also, do not forget that the search engine Google in almost all devices with OS Android has built-in voice recognition, which simply translates the phrase in a particular search query. Voice recognition is also built in a variety of applications, Google, but all together it is not comparable with the centralization and ease of use Siri, and now S Voice.
Appearance of the program S Voice concise and extremely similar to the interface Siri. Owner communicator sees the call button and phrases assistant dialogue with a virtual interlocutor. Like Siri, S Voice program only works when connected to the internet and actively communicating with the server processes the request. The program understands speech in several languages, including Russian absent.
For the application, you need access to a variety of data stored in the device memory - including personal data. So before you use the S Voice, should read the policy handling, which is available at the developer of the program - the company Vlingo.
The aforementioned review of iPhone 4S includes a chapter describing the features Siri and a few words that were set assistant. It was interesting to learn how to cope with them a competitor (questions spoken in English).
Inquire about the stock Samsung assistant relayed to the search query on Google. In Samsung Galaxy S 3 is not a full-fledged applications to use quotations (a widget), so we can consider this issue handled correctly. The question of the current U.S. president did not make S Voice run search engine, the proper answer was given in a few seconds. Response to a request to say something about Barack Obama was totally unexpected: S Voice somehow invited to search the internet for information about the British Prime Minister. Given that Siri to this question did not say anything at all, can be considered more advanced S Voice program from the point of view of abstract logic.Request for information on banks in New York City processed incorrectly - probably due to an error in the very phrase. Question, do I need an umbrella, was, unfortunately, no response - the second loss S Voice competitor.

S Voice program tries to be useful to the user and copies most of the functionality of Siri. It would not be surprising if both applications use the same knowledge base. At the moment, both seem a little crude, but Siri is more advanced development. Although, of course, Siri more handicap - support powerful corporation and an abundance of developers. Make up for a gap S Voice - time will tell, as it will show the relevance and viability of the mode of interaction of user and machine in general.
Concluding the program description S Voice, note a few of its features: first, the awakening device and launch the assistant voice command, and second, the interaction with various built-in applications, ranging from alarm and ending Maps search Google.
Generally developers Samsung Galaxy S 3 tried to make the device more intelligent and responsive.The list of possibilities is vast, most of them associated with the position in the PC space. For example, if you take a smartphone in hand, it vibrates in the presence notifications of missed calls and unread messages. As another example, the communicator dials the number of the subscriber whose information is on the screen when the device bring to your ear. Many of these features were in the previous model Galaxy S 2 - for example, zooming by tilting your device with two finger touches on the screen. Many people really do not work - for example, going to the top of a long list of additional tap the microphone. But it is worth noting desire of developers to make maximum use of the capabilities of various sensors built into the device to simplify the life of the device owner.

In Samsung Galaxy S 3 was a place many additional applications of the company. Apart from the above, these include: Samsung chaton - analog Apple iMessage, messaging by connecting to the Internet, rather than using SMS, Samsung Apps - own application store of Samsung, AllShare Play - Advanced client DLNA, which allows you to remotely connect to the content of media servers through the Internet, Game Hub - directory of free and paid games company Samsung.

In the memory, were also found some very well-known third-party applications. Dropbox special needs no introduction - it is one of the first services of cloud storage and file synchronization.Galaxy S owners to provide three to 50 GB two services known Russian companies implementing clear their name functionality.
Text input method (other than voice) in the Galaxy S 3 one - Keyboard Samsung. Been seen before in other smartphones Samsung Swype keyboard is not the hero of the review. But the Samsung keyboard is able to recognize handwriting input - if the practice, almost no errors.

Now, Samsung has done a great job of introducing new technologies into the program unusual firmware his flagship. How they will be in demand - time will tell, but for now the owners of new items should learn English and to learn not to touch the neighbors during sweeps the device.
Display and Sound
AMOLED-matrix - this is something that has always attracted the attention of fans of mobile devices to the product by Samsung, both literally and figuratively. Advantages of these matrices is not necessary to paint once again, it is better to stay exactly on the display device Samsung Galaxy S 3.
In general, on the parameters, it is similar to the screen Samsung Galaxy Nexus . Judge: matrix sizes 4.65 and 4.8 inches, 720 x 1280 pixels, matrix type - HD SuperAMOLED. Is the absence of attachment «Plus» in the name of matrix - which means that they are made on the technology as opposed to PenTile matrix SuperAMOLED Plus device Samsung Galaxy S 2. However, high-resolution (in terms of dots per inch in a Galaxy S 2, it was only 217 dpi, while the S 3 - nearly 306), eliminates all the disadvantages of PenTile-matrix: grainy images invisible, and the lines of text characters look smooth and clear, but not blurred. If you put a number Galaxy second and third generations and look at the picture on the screen, it's hard to tell the difference between the picture on the displays of the first and second device.
Brightness AMOLED-display with Galaxy S 3 is very high. It automatically adjusted, but not always optimal. In most cases, the display seems very dull regardless of the power saving: apparently, to keep a low level of brightness with automatic adjustment - this idea of developers. In addition, the constant switching annoying brightness.
Display sensor detects multiple simultaneous touches, has been tested up to 10 simultaneous signals - not enough for more fingers.
We'll see what the situation is with video playback formats in Samsung Galaxy S 3.
| Characteristics of the file (container, video codec, resolution, video bitrate, profile, audio codec) | Results for normal playback video player | Results play on MX Video Player | Results play on Dice Player |
|---|---|---|---|
| MKV / H.264 / 1920 × 1080/9569 kbit / s / High@L4.1 / DTS | played only the video without delays | played only the video without delays | played back |
| MKV / H.264 / 1920 × 1080 / 39.1 Mb / s / High@L4.1 / no | can not be played | played only video, with a noticeable delay | played only the video without delays |
| MPEG-4 / H.264 / 1280 × 720/6063 kbit / s / High@L5.1 / AC-3 | played only the video without delays | played only the video without delays | played back |
| MKV / H.264 / 1280 × 720/6478 kbit / s / High@L5.1 / AC-3 | played back | played back | played back |
| MKV / VC-1/1920 × 1080 / 17.5 Mb / s / Advanced Simple @ L5 / AC-3 + E-AC-3 | audio only | played with a noticeable delay | can not be played |
| MKV / XviD / 640 × 346 / 17.5 Mb / s / AP @ L3 / AAC | audio only | played back | played back |
| MKV / H.264 / 1280 × 720/3875 kbit / s / High@L3.1 / AC-3 + AC-3 (Web-Dl-rip) | played back | played back | played back |
Regular video player coped with video up to Full HD, but it is highly dependent on the hardware support of a format. Of the player, who can play the video in the program mode, coped with the assigned work better. Almost failed to see all the videos.
It is worth noting an interesting feature of Galaxy S 3: he knows how to "play up" the sound track with the vibration. When the volume in the low frequency reaches a certain high level (no matter if the sound with the speaker or headphones), the device will vibrate to the beat - such a mobile subwoofer.
The video player is able to roll up the window, which hangs over the other programs, and continue to play until the owner of the communicator to do other things. Which of the practical use of this function on a mobile device - an open question. But the unusual fact.
 |  |
Regular video and audio players have the ability to stream to any DLNA-enabled devices in the network. Able to connect the device to a TV Samsung Smart TV and play video as well as music.
Volume of the internal speaker in Samsung Galaxy S 3 is sufficient: the phone - for trouble communicating with someone at the main - to play ringtones, alarms, and hints navigator. The volume level changes as using the keys on the left side of the communicator, and software. Built-in audio player does not understand the Cyrillic MP3 tags, but allows a variety of ways "improve" the sound.
The included headset has a good sound, but it is, unfortunately, not folding: the headphones are not disconnected from the control unit, which includes a microphone, volume control and challenge.
After a headset or headphones with your device it is possible to use the built-in three Galaxy S FM-radio band. Receiver control program looks unusual, but it is very convenient to use. In the center of the screen is a virtual analog frequency adjustment knob by turning which can find the desired station. On either side of it are buttons for quick search for a station. When they touched the software automatically searches for the nearest frequency with sufficient quality signal. The radio supports RDS, has good sensitivity and allows you to record the signal in the form of files 3GA.Frequency whichever station can be stored in the device memory, the sound is output on both the headphones and the speaker.

Wireless interfaces and communication
Smartphone Samsung Galaxy S 3 has a full set of modules, wireless networks not only support 4G.The maximum data rate of the wireless network, the hero review - 21 megabits per second on the reception and 6 megabits per second to transmit.
Problems with cellular phone in Galaxy S 3 was observed. Communicator successfully fulfilled the role of a mobile phone and provided access to the Internet at a speed corresponding to the location and capabilities of the network.
Version of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and fresh: Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n. Problems with their work arose. The following additional technologies: Wi-Fi Direct, access point Wi-Fi, DLNA, Kies Air.
By communicator able to connect a wireless headset Sony Ericsson MW600 . On-screen headset correctly displays track titles, but the phone number in the telephone call did not appear. Single key press call on the headset will launch electronic assistant S Voice, double - to repeat the last call.
In Galaxy S 3 embodies many data exchange technologies that are rarely found in other mobile devices. Judge for yourself: Near Field Communication (NFC) in two types - S Beam and Android Beam, both involve rapid exchange of data between two devices at a short distance, MHL - compatible HDMI video output option for a wired connection to the receivers digital high definition USB On-the-go - a good old USB Host, allowing you to connect to your device USB-devices such as manipulators of the "mouse" and external storage - flash drives and hard drives . Last two interfaces are implemented in Micro-USB-compliant connectors on the bottom side of the case of the communicator.
 |  |
But, of course, the main feature of the Galaxy S 3, at least in Russia - is to support GLONASS. Yes, now the owners of Samsung's flagship device can determine its location based on the signal of domestic satellites, which sometimes come to the aid of the American colleagues from the network GPS. Promotes a rapid determination of the correct coordinates technology A-GPS.
Camera
Resolution CMOS-matrix with Galaxy S 2, Galaxy S-3 - 8 megapixels. As a result, the maximum resolution of images that can be found on both machines is 3264 × 2448 pixels. Video recorded with a resolution of Full HD 1080p at 30 frames per second. Video format - MP4 (H.264, AAC).
Opening the device craftsmen showed that Galaxy S 3 uses sensor Sony BSI. The same, or very similar, Sony is set to communicators and smartphones Apple iPhone 4/4S.
The main camera is equipped with an overview of the hero autofocus and LED-flash completed.Starting a program to control the camera fast, time to get the first shot is small. The only thing lacking in novelty - an individual key management survey.
The program's interface is similar to control the camera in all smartphones Samsung. In the center is the sight of the focus, the location can be changed manually by touching the appropriate area screen. On the right side: the button start recording, switch camera and video modes, a miniature copy of the last photo or video, also plays the role of a reference to the program, a photo album.Icons on the left are various camera settings. Their set can change yourself, just need to hold the touch and hold the icon. Shooting options available a great variety, ranging from the white balance, and ISO and finishing shooting scene and automatically insert tags location GPS.
Interesting opportunities to camera Samsung Galaxy S 3 include Face Detection when shooting, taking pictures directly during video recording and image stabilization.
Record video and still pictures can get through both the main camera, and more, on the front panel of the device. In the latter case, the photos have a maximum resolution of 1280 × 960 pixels, video - 720p, autofocus is not available.
Quality photos and videos with Galaxy S 3 remarkable by the standards of mobile devices. This can be verified independently.
Battery life
The increased capacity of the battery in the Galaxy S 3 is compensated by increased load on her by hardware filling. So in the world of mobile devices has always been, is, and is likely to be as long as not invent entirely new compact mobile power source. Regular battery capacity of the new items - 2100 mAh, which is quite an impressive amount for communicators. It is also worth noting that the battery in Galaxy S 3 difficult, it is integrated chip antenna NFC.
Get straight to the point. From your device were conducted several standard tests of battery life, and that their results. Reading e-books in the program FBReader with 50% brightness of the display - 11 hours, with automatic adjustment - 12 hours. Listening to turn off the display - 27.5 hours. In the first test result Galaxy S 3 coincided with a similar Galaxy S 2, the second novelty spent almost one and a half times longer. This means that the hero of the review more energy efficient than its predecessor, but you constantly worry about the optimal level of screen brightness. As mentioned earlier, the automation itself doing this, exposing sometimes too low brightness.
Minimum battery life of your device battery - 6 hours. Value is more than worthy. But the completion of the battery goes very slowly, over the same 6 hours from the USB-port.
| Test mode | Battery life | |
| Samsung Galaxy S 3 | Samsung Galaxy S 2 | |
| Reading e. books | 11 hours (50% brightness), 12 hours (auto brightness) | 12 hours (50% brightness) |
| Listening to music | 27.5 hours (screen off) | 19 hours (screen off) |
| Max. load | 6 hours | 5 hours |
Speed and performance
The hardware of the new flagship Samsung chip performs its own design company - Exynos 4412. It consists of four processing cores ARM Cortex-A9, running at 1.4 GHz, and the video processor ARM Mali-400 MP4. The amount of RAM is 1 GB DDR2. If you compare the hardware base Galaxy S 2 and Galaxy S 3, the difference between a minor: changed the chip fabrication process, from 45 to 32 nm, and the two computing cores added two more, the increased frequency of 200 MHz.

Samsung Galaxy S 3 - the result of gradual evolution of Android-devices and all modern smartphones. He is in no way the "discovery" or "revelation", its parameters and characteristics can be predicted even a year before. Is it worth the previous owners to change their flagship Samsung smartphones? The answer for those who have their hands on the Galaxy S 2 - no. The answer for those who have Galaxy S and its numerous clones, is not as straightforward, depending on the ratio of financial capability and mobile needs.
Speaking about the price: As it goes with us in Russia, the initial price for the "white" devices Zadran to heaven. The situation is exacerbated by the fact that the start of sales of the communicator in this country coincided with its emergence around the world. This means that the price of a smartphone yet high and abroad, as well as the suppliers of "gray" devices, which are usually the major discounters in the market are not able to significantly reduce its cost. The Council, in this situation, only one - enjoy the summer, relax and wait for the price of Galaxy S 3 will gain a reasonable amount.
Before the advent of the iPhone 5 will be the hero of the review most perfect communicator - perhaps that and after. However, the development of modern smartphones raises one question, which seemed to have been answered. It sounds as follows: "And then what?" Infinite capacity of the nuclei and the display resolution - if it makes sense, when the pixel size is indistinguishable to the naked eye, and have nothing to do extra core? Extensive development sooner or later touches the limit of power consumption. Communicators in the conventional sense, it seems, has reached its limit and ideological impasse, as it was in his time with their counterparts on the basis of WindowsMobile. Need a new and powerful impetus to change the paradigm - the same as the output of the first iPhone. Only if he would, and when?
