FEATURES

                                                    The Galaxy S III uses Google's Android mobile operating system, which was first introduced commercially in 2008. Its TouchWiz user interface, like most interfaces, consists of elements such as sliders, switches, and buttons. The interface is more interactive than the Samsung's previous phones, and is influenced by the "organic" customer trend. For example, the "Water Lux" effect has been programmed to produce ripples upon contact. To complement the TouchWiz, the phone introduces S Voice, Samsung's intelligent personal assistant similar to Apple's Siri. Based on Vlingo, S Voice enables the user to verbally issue commands such as playing a song, setting the alarm, or activating driving mode; it relies on Wolfram Alpha for online searches.

Other notable abilities include Smart Stay—the screen tracks the user's eyes to determine when to turn the phone off, Direct Call (which allows the user to call a person whose text message is currently on screen simply by raising the phone to the ear), Pop Up Play (allows a video and other activities to occupy the screen at the same time), S Voice, Buddy Photo Sharing, Allcast Share Dongle, Group Cast (documents collaboration), wireless charging, S Pebble MP3 player, dock/charger, C-Pen, slimline case, and car mount. The phone comes in 16 GB and 32 GB variants, with microSDXC storage offering up to an additional 64 GB for a potential total of 128 GB. An additional 50 GB of space is offered on the Dropbox service for purchasers of the device for two years, doubling rival HTC's 25 GB storage for the same duration.

                                          The international version has Samsung's Exynos 4 Quad system on a chip containing a 1.4 GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU and an ARM Mali-400 MP GPU.However, the US version is expected to use Qualcomm’s dual-core Snapdragon S4 SoC to support LTE functionality. Dimensions of the device are 136.6 × 70.6 × 8.6 mm and weighs at 133 grams with a 2100 mAh lithium-ion battery. The glass used for the display on the Galaxy S III is Corning Gorilla Glass 2.

The Galaxy S III has a 8 mega-pixel camera similar to that of the Galaxy S II. It can take photos (3264 x 2448 pixels) and record videos in 1080p resolution. Samsung improved the camera's software over that of its predecessor to include zero shutter lag and a feature that selects the best frame after several similar shots were taken. The phone can also take pictures while recording videos.

The Galaxy S III is advertised as having an MHL port that can be used both as a micro-USB port, and for connecting the phone to HDMI devices. However, when the phone was released in May 2012, it was discovered that Samsung had made a modification to the electronics of the port such that only the adapter made specifically for this model by Samsung could be used.
