An 8MP camera and a 1.9MP front camera offer users a variety of intelligent camera features and face recognition related options that ensure all moments are captured easily and instantly.
Samsung Galaxy S III is powered by Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich, with greatly enhanced usability and practicality to make life easier. Packed with intuitive technology, the Galaxy S III delivers a uniquely personalized mobile experience that refuses to be compromised.
"We are extremely proud and honored to be launching this long awaited device in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia," said JC Park, General Manager at Samsung Electronics in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
"Designed to be both effortlessly smart and intuitively simple, the Galaxy S III has been created with our human needs and capabilities in mind. We understand what our tech-savvy and customers desire and are providing them with a device that enables one of the most seamless, natural and human-centric mobile experiences, and opening up a new horizon that allows living an extraordinary life," he added.
The Galaxy S III will be available within the first week of June in the Kingdom's market as part of Samsung's constant efforts to fulfill its promises to the Saudi consumer by providing the most innovative and up-to-date technology. In line with the launch, there will be an in-mall event, whereby consumers will be given the exclusive opportunity to get a hands-on interaction and experience the device, witnessing the remarkable qualifications and superb technology that embeds Samsung's Galaxy S III.
Introducing Natural Interaction
The Galaxy S III enhances the interaction experience between the device and user. Smart enough to detect your face, voice and motions, the Galaxy S III adapts to the individual user to provide a more convenient and natural experience. With the innovative 'Smart stay' feature, the Galaxy S III recognizes how you are using your phone - reading an e-book or browsing the web for instance - by having the front camera identify your eyes; the phone maintains a bright display for continued viewing pleasure.
The Galaxy S III features 'S Voice,' the advanced natural language user interface, to listen and respond to your words. In addition to allowing information search and basic device-user communication, S Voice presents powerful functions in regards to device control and commands. 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.
In addition to recognizing your face and voice, the Galaxy S III understands your motions to offer maximized usability. If you are messaging someone but decide to call them instead, simply lift your phone to your ear and 'Direct call' will dial their number. With 'Smart alert,' the Galaxy S III will also save you from trouble by catching any missed messages or calls; your phone will vibrate to notify missed statuses when picked up after being idle.
Easy and Instant Sharing
The Samsung Galaxy S III is more than a personal device that can be enjoyed by one user - it wants you to share and experience smartphone benefits with family and friends, regardless of where you are. With the new 'S Beam,' the Galaxy S III expands upon Android Beam, allowing a 1GB movie file to be shared within three minutes and a 10MB music file within two seconds by simply touching another Galaxy S III phone, even without a Wi-Fi or cellular signal. The 'Buddy photo share' function also allows photos to be easily and simultaneously shared with all your friends pictured in an image directly from the camera or the photo gallery.
With 'AllShare Cast', users can wirelessly connect their Galaxy S III to their television to immediately transfer smartphone content onto a larger display. 'AllShare Play' can be also used to instantly share any forms of files between Galaxy S III and your tablet, PC, and televisions regardless of the distance between the devices. Under AllShare Play is also the 'Group Cast' feature that allows you to share your screen among multiple friends on the same Wi-Fi network; you can make comments and draw changes at the same time with your co-workers, witnessing real-time sharing on your individual device.
Human-centric Design with Uncompromised Performance
The Galaxy S III not only presents features with enhanced usability, but also provides an ergonomic and comfortable experience through its human-centric design. Its comfortable grip, gentle curves, and organic form deliver a rich human-centric feel and design. Inspired by nature, its design concept is the flow and movement of nature. The elements of wind, water and light are all evoked in the physical construct of the Galaxy S III. In its essence, the minimal organic design identity is reflected in the smooth and non-linear lines of the device. Available in Pebble Blue and Marble White at launch, Samsung will introduce a variety of additional color options.
With a 4.8" HD Super AMOLED display, the Galaxy S III offers a large and vivid viewing experience. Samsung Mobile's heritage Super AMOLED display even enhances to HD and 16:9 wider viewing angles. To ensure faster content sharing and connectivity, the Galaxy S III offers Wi-Fi Channel Bonding which doubles the Wi-Fi bandwidth.
The Galaxy S III also sports a range of additional features that boost performance and the overall user experience in entirely new ways. It introduces 'Pop up play,' a feature that allows you to play a video anywhere on your screen while simultaneously running other tasks, eliminating the need to close and restart videos when checking new emails or surfing the Web. Its 8MP camera features a zero-lag shutter speed that lets you capture moving objects easily without delay - the image you see is the picture you take. With the 'Burst shot' function that instantly captures twenty continuous shots, and the 'Best photo' feature that selects the best of eight photographs for you, the Galaxy S III ensures users a more enhanced and memorable camera experience. HD video can be recorded even with the 1.9MP front-facing camera, which you can use to capture a video of yourself. Improved backside illumination further helps to eliminate blur in photos that result from shaking, even under low lights.
The gaming experience is enhanced through 'Game Hub,' providing access to numerous social games, while Video Hub brings users high quality TV and movies. Furthermore, Samsung Music Hub will offer a personal music streaming service. Game Hub, Video Hub and Music Hub will be introduced in select countries initially and soon rolled out to global markets.
Samsung begins Europe sales of latest smartphone - Yahoo Finance
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- Samsung Electronics Co., the world's largest maker of mobile phones, said its third-generation Galaxy S smartphone went on sale Tuesday in 28 European and Middle Eastern countries, hoping to cement its lead over Apple's iPhone.
The Galaxy S III smartphones hit the shelves in countries including France and Britain. By the end of July, nearly 300 mobile operators around the world will be selling the device.
Buyers of the new smartphone in five European countries will also be the first to get their hands on Samsung's music streaming service.
In Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Britain, the Galaxy S III will be shipped with access to the Music Hub — an iTune's like service allowing users to listen to music as well as buy and store it. Samsung said the service has a 19-million song catalog.
Samsung said the initial response to the new smartphone was positive. At Vodafone Group, pre-sale orders for the Galaxy S III outstripped those of any previous Android-based smartphones, according to Samsung.
The Galaxy series of smartphones is widely acknowledged in the industry as a success for Samsung, turning it from a smartphone also-ran into a viable competitor with the iPhone from Apple Inc.
While Apple has kept the screen size of the iPhone the same in every upgrade since 2007, Samsung increased the screen size of its highest-end smartphone in its two major updates. The latest Galaxy phone screen is nearly twice as big as the iPhone screen.
The 4.8-inch S III also features more computing power that supports voice commands and an eye-movement tracking feature to keep the screen from dimming.
The music service, which is available in free and paid versions, can recommend new tunes based on a user's listening preferences.
The paid service allows uploading and storage of music files on servers that can be accessed from more than one Internet-connected device at a cost of €9.99 per month, Samsung said.
Unlike Apple, which uses its in-house operating system and iTunes music service, Samsung has relied on Google's Android operating system for its flagship smartphones.
Samsung's music service is a result of its acquisition of mSpot Inc., a Palo Alto, California-based provider of music and movie streaming services on the Web and mobile devices.
The Korean firm has been making efforts to increase homemade mobile content, such as its own messaging application, hoping that these features will boost consumer loyalty.
Samsung overtook Apple in smartphone sales for the first time in the first three months of this year, according to research firm Strategy Analytics. The Suwon, South Korea-based company sold 44.5 million smartphones in the January-March quarter, compared with Apple's 35.1 million iPhone sales.
Market watchers expect that Apple may use its annual conference for developers next month to announce the yearly upgrade to the iPhone, which then can go on sale as early as July.
Aside from being big rivals in the smartphone market, Samsung and Apple have also a close business relationship. Samsung supplies mobile chips and display panels for iPhones and iPad tablet computers, counting Apple among its biggest clients.

Vodafone Smart II Offers £70 Android Experience - Social Barrel
Vodafone UK has announced a new low-cost Android-powered Smart II handset for only £70.
The UK mobile operator aims to offer its latest budget phone to consumers who want to jump into the Android community without breaking the bank.
The Vodafone Smart II comes with Google’s Android 2.3 Gingerbread mobile operating system, an 800MHz single-core processor and 150MB of RAM, which means that it will most likely fail to run high-end apps, but Vodafone apparently wants to cover that reality by saying that Gmail, Facebook and YouTube will be preinstalled.
The 12.35mm thick handset will be available in two color variants of white and dark grey and features a 3.15-megapixel rear-facing camera with VGA video recording and LED flash, an FM radio, Wi-Fi, HSDPA connectivity and a 2GB microSD card out of the box.
The Vodafone Smart II is now available on the network’s online store through pas as you go for only £70. Interested consumers need around £5 tops to get a voucher code to use at Blockbuster and Thorntons.
