Samsung Galaxy S III video review:
The history of the product line called "Galaxy", which belongs to the South Korean manufacturer "Samsung", is very interesting. In fact, we can say that this line was built on models that were developed and produced successfully, and implemented - quickly and competently, with maximum efficiency, a set of popularity and an increase in sales of the company. The line also includes the subject of our today's review - “Samsung I9300”.
As mentioned earlier, the corresponding product range of the South Korean manufacturer is a sequence built on the principle of improving each next model compared to the previous one. A very interesting fact is related to the first flagship of the line. Of course, its release to the mobile technology market was a very important step for the company. We explain why: the first device set the bar for performance. It was impossible to fall below it next time, which set a trend that was quite definite in direction, consisting precisely in raising this bar.
If you imagine that the moment of release was something like a turning point or a very important battle, then the competitors of the South Korean manufacturer lost the battle simply with a bang. Again, let's explain why, so that everything falls into place: the debut flagship, compared to similar devices from competing manufacturers, had the same (and in some cases lower) cost, but, of course, better hardware, as a result, better performance, and also more original and cute design.
If you carefully analyze the relevant data, you will notice that not even the Samsung Galaxy S 3 i9300 is popular, but the “first esca” model range. So much time has passed, and the rating of the phone practically does not fall. In general, we note that this device appeared on the smartphone market back in 2010, in June. But the device is still relevant today, and the South Korean manufacturer seems to be counting on the maximum profit from its sales.
Probably, the reason lies in the fact that the model perfectly demonstrates its commitment to the "price-quality" ratio. The South Korean company, by the way, uses this principle as a basic one. Which is noticeable. But the main thing is that the products (namely, the mobile plan in this situation) of the company have one important property. It lies in the fact that devices have a life cycle of two years or more. Well, of course, at the same time, you should not throw the phone everywhere, throw it at the walls, walk on it with your feet, and so on. However, with proper care, the device will last a very long time. In this regard, only Apple devices can compete with the brainchildren of the company, which include the Samsung S 3 I9300.
On the mobile device market, the Samsung Galaxy I9300 phone is announced as a logical continuation of the first and second devices of the corresponding product range. And of course, it is sold with them. In this regard, there are absolutely no changes to be seen. It is understood that the flagship will be purchased by users who focus on functionality. There is also a calculation for those who love the novelties of the smartphone market. Fans of the South Korean manufacturer's proprietary technologies are already mentioned for the second time. Well, the "bronze" we get people who want the device to work not just without failures, but for several years. “Samsung I9300”, whose photo you can find in this article, is just such, along with this, demonstrating adherence to the “price-quality” ratio as the basic principle of creation.
But if a year before the release of the model everything was still clear, the situation inside the line was optimal, but now everything has changed somewhat. Yes, it came out new flagship- C3. But the release of such a model in the product range justified internal competition. In the role of the opponent of the subject of our today's review - "Galaxy Note". He dominates his opponent due to the larger diagonal of the screen. Another important difference is the ability to use special devices for drawing on the screen or entering text. We are, of course, talking about pen. In general, the model automatically becomes more attractive, because it has a different positioning, a different level, and a completely different price. How South Korean developer tried to solve this problem? Simple enough: the update of the device to new version operating system. And it's time for us to move from positioning to the analysis of technical issues.
What can be said about the characteristics of the model? Phone "Samsung I9300" supports cellular networks GSM standards. Access to the international network is possible through several technologies. The best option is to use EDGE standards, as well as 3G. However, the operation of technologies such as GPRS and WAP is also supported. Standards have long been outdated, gone out of fashion along with push-button telephones but right?
Software and hardware stuffing make it possible to use a smartphone as a modem with a SIM card. Thus, the owner of the device can create an access point, as they say, distribute Wi-Fi to other similar devices. To exchange data wirelessly with mobile devices, a Bluetooth module version 4.0 is provided. The signal quality is good, there should not be any problems with it. The same can be said about Wi-Fi. It operates on the b, g and n bands. The quality of signal reception does not suffer. By the way, cellular network also does not disappear, which can not be written down in the advantages of the phone.
For business people as well as those who simply use email for messaging, a built-in E-mail client is provided. You can sync your smartphone with personal computer or laptop using a microUSB port.
The screen diagonal is 4.8 inches. The matrix is made using Super AMOLED technology. Screen resolution - 1280 by 720 pixels. This means that the picture is displayed in the so-called HD quality. Color reproduction is normal - up to 16 million colors are transmitted. The display is touch, capacitive type. As expected (the tradition of touch screens), there is support for the “Multitouch” function, which allows you to process multiple touches at the same time.
This phone model has two cameras. The main one produces good quality pictures. Well, this is understandable - its resolution is about eight megapixels. Supports automatic focusing on the subject. To the side of the main camera is an LED flash that allows you to take pictures in low light. Video on it is filmed at a resolution of 3248 by 2448 pixels, which is not bad at all. Front-camera will be worse: its resolution is only 2 megapixels (and to be more precise, then 1.9).
It is represented in the phone by the Exynos 4412 Quad processor. This is a South Korean manufacturer's own development. From the name of the chipset, it is clear that the processor has four cores. Their maximum clock frequency is 1400 megahertz. This is enough to run and use games that fall into the “above average” demanding category. Yes, rare friezes and freezes are possible, of course, but only at times, in certain moments loading the chipset, as they say, with the head. As a video chip - Mali 400 MP.
The user is allocated 16 gigabytes for data storage. However, let's not forget that a part of it is crushed by the operating system with software. It is possible to expand the volume by using a microSD card. The maximum device supports 64 gigabytes. The amount of RAM is 1 GB. Not so much, but not too little either. Not golden, but still in the middle.
From this category I would like to note the presence of a TV outlet. Otherwise, everything is standard: a player for playing audio files, as well as video clips and movies. There is also an FM radio. To use it, you will need to connect a wired stereo headset to your phone. For this, the device has a standard 3.5 mm socket. From software according to this criterion, one can also distinguish a voice recorder. The recording quality is good.
On board the subject of our today's review, an operating system of the Android family is installed. Her version is 4.0.
For use satellite maps provided GPS technology. GLONASS is missing. The smartphone has space for only one SIM card, so you will need to decide on the choice of operator. Before installation, it will have to be processed according to the MicroSIM standard.

The battery charges in 3 hours and works: in talk mode - up to 22 hours in 2G network and up to 11 hours in 3G, in standby mode - up to 900 hours in 2G network and up to 750 hours in 3G. The ability to get the battery provides easy replacement if necessary with a new or spare one.
The touch display with a diagonal of 4.8 inches and a resolution of 1280x720 pixels is protected from bumps and scratches by tempered glass. It has ambient light and proximity sensors, supports the auto-rotate function and Smart Stay technology (allows you to keep the device's display on when the user looks at it). The smartphone has two built-in cameras: the main one with 8 megapixels for taking photos and videos, and the front one with 1.9 megapixels for video calls and selfies.
In terms of size, the Samsung Galaxy S3 is a typical representative modern smartphones screen sizes 4.5″ and above. The device is wide and high, so it is not very comfortable to hold it in your hand. The main material used is glossy plastic. Fingerprints are clearly visible on it and scratches quickly remain.
The screen diagonal is 4.8 inches, the matrix type is Super AMOLED HD, the resolution is 1280 × 720 pixels, the protective coating is Gorilla Glass, the PPI value is 306. The advantages of the display are a large diagonal and high resolution, excellent brightness and contrast. The screen will appeal to lovers of bright colors. Cons - Super AMOLED technology, due to which the image is overly contrasting, not everyone will like it. WITH close range picture on Samsung screen Galaxy S3 looks grainy and fuzzy, and prolonged use of the smartphone, especially in reading mode, eyes get tired. An indirect plus of using Super AMOLED is an energy-intensive screen, which also makes the Galaxy S3 work on a single charge longer than many competitors.
The smartphone has an 8 MP camera with LED flash. The maximum resolution for video recording is 1920 × 1080 pixels, the recording speed is 30 frames per second, the sound is recorded in stereo mode.
Standard keyboard in Samsung phone Galaxy S3 is convenient, it has a text input function using strokes (Swype), as well as the ability to enter numbers without switching to additional characters mode. Disadvantages - an inconvenient language switching system: you need to hold your finger on the space bar and swipe left or right. To enter most additional characters, including the comma sign, you need to call an additional menu.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 browser is great for browsing the web: it has the ability to zoom multiple times with text to fit the screen width and read pages without images. This mode is convenient to use when reading a large amount of text on the Internet, without being distracted by pictures.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphone supports most common wireless interfaces: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and NFC. The device has an S Beam function, with which you can quickly transfer files such as photos, music or videos from one Galaxy S3 to another when Wi-Fi help or NFC, attaching them to each other "backs".
However, the smartphone lacks support for dual-band Wi-Fi and Russian LTE frequencies.
Samsung Galaxy S3 plays almost any video without prior conversion - the device supports rare audio formats and video containers. In the player, you can choose audio tracks; as well as subtitles embedded in the video file. The audio player plays most common as well as rare formats, including uncompressed FLAC audio.
Indicators battery life Samsung Galaxy S3 is superior to most smartphones: the device is capable of playing HD video at maximum brightness for 7.5 hours, and the music listening mode drains it in 45 hours.
The device uses the Samsung Exynos 4412 platform with a 1.4 GHz quad-core processor, a Mali-400 graphics subsystem and 1 GB of RAM. The power of the phone is enough for smooth playback of FullHD video and the ability to play even the most powerful games.
The internal memory of the device is GB. The Samsung Galaxy S3 supports microSD cards up to 64 GB.
The device is running a proprietary shell from Samsung - TouchWiz. In this shell, the manufacturer added its own browser, dialer, SMS client, music and video players, its own weather application and many other programs. The built-in video player supports most third-party video codecs and video formats, making it convenient to watch even unconverted video from your phone. The audio player allows you to listen to music not only by artist, but also by folder. The "S Memo" app is great program for notes with handwriting support.
