At Whatphone, we read the world’s telecommunications press too. We follow the trends, await the release of new devices and gossip about them because we’re a bit geeky like that.
Recently, we were exposed to videos and written reviews of a massive change in the industry which made us all go do-lally.
Here is the the opinion of a Whatphone journalist about the new Samsung Galaxy SIII written when he first saw the new product. We will review the physical device in it’s entirety across the team when it’s released in Australia.
When is enough enough ? If you answered ‘we already have enough, slow down’ then you’re a communist.
Samsung Galaxy S3 – Processing power
We can never have enough and, while the Samsung Galaxy SIII has more processing power than a McDonalds cow factory, a bigger screen than my local Hoyts and more memory than my Grandad, it seems it’s still not enough for everyone.
This Smartphone just has to be the best ever made. You’ve heard us talk about Whatphone’s favorites :
The HTC One X – competent, top of it’s class and bad ass – if Mercedes made a Monster Truck, the driver would buy an HTC One X.
The iPhone 4S. I don’t own tight black jeans and a floppy fringe so I’ve never bought one but I do recognize it as a great device.
Samsung Galaxy S3 – predecessor
Nestled between the two and a definite equal firm favorite, was the Samsung Galaxy SII. This device was so advanced when it was launched a year ago that Marty McFly knocked on my door and asked me if I’d seen his.
But now, 12 months on, Samsung have simply rocked the Smartphone world with 7 Mega-tonnes of Nuclear Samsung Galaxy SIII.
1.4 GHz Quad Core ARM processor, 1 Gig RAM,up to 64 Gig onboard and 64 additional Gig that you can add with a Micro SD. A 4.8 Super AMOLED screen. It comes with an Ice Cream Sandwich.
But wait, whine the beret wearing iPhonies pulling their Emo trousers up from their knees so they can walk quicker to their Eco Detergent Box Design jobs/ Wait, they say, the iPhone User Experiece is so good.
Boom ! Svoice listens like Siri but the Gal SIII doesn’t need the iPhone finger to ‘swipe to unlock’. This phone knows your face and the face of your friends and it offers you stuff for them.
Honestly, it watches for your face to look at it and then it turns itself on. It’s the girlfriend I always wanted.
4G. Near Field Communications. The list goes on.
Samsung Galaxy S3 vs iPhonies
iPhonies : Get real. Next year, there will be something bigger and better because that’s called Global Economic Progress. For now, put down your decaf chai teas jack yourself in to a Galaxy SIII, become a real, honest to goodness thinking person and acknowledge that that iEverything time was a phase like when you were a Goth in High School.
