Samsung Galaxy S3: yes or no?

You have to admit it. With the Galaxy S3 , Samsung has brought out the best Android smartphones currently available. There is little to do, the Korean giant is also recognized the honor merit. But someone will think that the iPhone is still the iPhone. True. If nothing else, as a matter of affection. But I assure you that the iPhone 4S is suffering from bad comparison with the Galaxy, from the Home screen, huge, vivid colors, just a little 'less bright Retina display but still a feast for the eyes. The default screen exaggerates the color saturation. If you want my advice, to make the interface more pleasant and pastel tones, select Settings> Display> Screen Mode , and choose the "Natural" . Look at the difference compared to the standard display. Very impressive.

The processor speed of the S3 stuns. Pigi icon and each application opens instantly. The reactivity of Android Ice Cream Sandwich pushing an even higher level when compared to the Google Nexus. The integration with Google services is total. Although not particularly fond of Samsung's TouchWiz interface, the Koreans have done a great job. Sin a little 'style and taste compared to iOS finishes but overall the result is more than satisfactory.

The design is minimal. The shape is very similar to that of the Galaxy Nexus. The housing, both made of any material resembles "vulgar" plastic. It could also be refined gold. Still plastic and apparently also of poor quality. I say apparently. Why not. But compared to the materials of the iPhone will notice the difference. Especially nell'S3 of white color. However, the advantage is that this galaxy is very thin and lightweight.

Android is now a mature operating system. All the most popular applications for iOS are available for the alternative of Google. The voice dictation is perfect. You talk, he writes. The only problem a bit 'annoying is when it comes to dictate punctuation. Does not recognize hardly ever converting often the symbol in text, such as "." In "point."

SVoice the alternative of Samsung Siri works pretty well. Nothing more though. Understand less than half of what you tell it so that, apart from trivial functions, such as sending a message, the rest is frustrating. Not to mention that you have to be covered by a 3G network or Wi-Fi to work with a decent answer. Otherwise you do first to make everything by hand, in the usual way.

To synchronize your media files (music and photos) you can use Kies. It is absolutely not like iTunes, but his work, petty and unpretentious, it does. The only problem is that often the synchronization crashed and the indicator of progress is nailed to a certain percentage. Happens when you close the application and restart the phone.

The reception is good but not excellent. I noticed that, in some cases, equal to operator, the iPhone 4S is hooked to the 3G data network while the S3 no. I'm not really sporadic circumstances. If you use your smartphone in intensively especially the internet, the continuous signal holes are annoying.

The battery is usually pain. Four and a half hours with 3G on all the time mainly using Twitter, Facebook and Google+. And if you have the misfortune of having to even call someone, put a cross over well. Lasts as long as that of an iPhone 4S used under the same conditions. Five hours.

I wasted in the usual technical details that many know and that you can find anywhere on the Internet. Taking an overall budget, apart from a few annoying quirks, the Galaxy S3 is an excellent phone. And 'no doubt the best alternative available to the iPhone and probably the best Android smartphone product until now.
