Inspired by nature, is what the Samsung Galaxy S III is truly. The designing of the device says it all about how much time has been spent in the making of this device, just to make it perfect for every individual. The device itself is very slim and lightweight, making it extremely easy to handle and use.
Galaxy S III comes in two colours, pebble blue and marble white. Both options feature a high gloss finish polycarbonate body that makes it lightweight, durable and immune to dents and bruises during falls to an extent. The device features Chrome trimming on the edges all around the device that give it a unique accent as well.

The smartphone features a revolutionary S voice application that is a voice based assistant like iPhone 4S’s Siri. It is perfectly integrated with Android and applications of the phone. The S voice works perfectly in identifying the Indian accent and acts accordingly. Although at times the S voice application takes up little more time to react but the beauty of this application is that it perfectly understands every word said to it.

In terms of innovations, Samsung has really gone overboard with the Galaxy S III. The device comes with a ‘Smart Stay’ feature that recognises the eyes of the users while browsing the web or doing other such activity requiring display to be on and the moment the user’s eye contact is broken, the device automatically goes to standby mode after a few seconds, thus saving battery charge.

Another feature we liked is the Video Window feature. It allows users to close the video window midway and do something else like checking email during which the video window will float on the display.
Samsung has also announced a range of accessories for this device that include a Smart Pen, our favorite that add Galaxy Note like functionality to the S III. Along with that there are flip covers in various colours, Battery Charging docks, and even a wireless charging station for the device available as an optional accessory.

The Samsung Galaxy S III although is great and so is its experience but the price of the device has been kept on the higher side. In India, the Samsung Galaxy S III costs Rs 43,100 which is little too high for the 16 GB variant.
