Optimized for peak performance, the Android-powered Samsung Galaxy S III
from Sprint offers one of the most sophisticated interactive mobile
experiences to date. You'll be able to send photos, videos, and
information easier and faster than ever while staying in close
connection to friends and family members from wherever you are.
Delivering impressive processing power to allow more applications to
be accessible simultaneously, the Galaxy S III also features a brilliant
4.8-inch display that extends to an ultra-thin bezel to maximize the
viewing area. The expansive display is also protected by Gorilla Glass
2.0 to guard against cracks and scratches and provide enhanced
touchscreen responsiveness.
The Galaxy S III runs the Android
4.0 operating system (a.k.a., Ice Cream Sandwich), bringing a redesigned
user interface with enhanced multitasking, notifications, full Web
browsing experience, and more. You'll also enjoy innovative, next-gen
features such as Face Unlock, which uses facial recognition to unlock
the Galaxy S III, and Near Field Communications (NFC) capabilities.
Going
beyond simple point-and-shoot photography, the 8-megapixel rear camera
offers a Burst Shot mode that captures still pictures at a rapid-fire
pace at three images per second with zero shutter lag, and its Best Shot
feature recommends the best picture to keep based on colors, lighting,
and clarity. It also records Full HD 1080p video with a backside
illuminated sensor that improves performance in low light
environments--and you can even capture a photo while shooting video.
Other
features include Wireless-N Wi-Fi connectivity with mobile hotspot
capabilities (enabling you to connect up to 10 devices to your Sprint
3G/4G mobile broadband), Bluetooth 4.0 with stereo audio streaming, 16
GB internal storage, memory expansion via optional microSD cards, and up
to 9.2 hours of talk time.
Note: The Galaxy S
III is able to access the Sprint 4G LTE network, available in limited
markets. This phone is also compatible with Sprint's nationwide 3G
network.
Pay with Google Wallet
With Google Wallet, you
can transform the Galaxy S III smartphone into a smart wallet using Near
Field Communication (NFC) to make safe purchases at more than 100,000
participating retailers--including Bloomingdales, Toys "R" Us, CVS, Gap
and Macy's.
Simple, Instant Sharing
The Galaxy S III has
enhanced features that both you and your contacts will enjoy. It's
designed to make sharing easy and more direct so your friends and family
can experience every moment with you, regardless of your location.
Connect Through Touch:
With S Beam, just place two Galaxy S III phones back-to-back and you
can transfer photos, videos, documents, and more. In just three minutes
you can successfully share a 1 GB video file--it's fast, easy, and you
don't even need a Wi-Fi or cellular signal.
Send Pictures in a Flash:
Thanks to Buddy Photo Share, the Galaxy S III recognizes the faces of
your friends, so it can share photos with them right away. And with
Share Shot, you can send photos to all your party guests so everyone
leaves with snapshots of the event.
Access Content on Multiple Devices:
Through AllShare Play, you can share files with other devices and
access those files on various devices, such as documents or multimedia
files between your Galaxy S III phone and a tablet, PC, or television.
With AllShare Group Cast on the Galaxy S III and a Wi-Fi network, you
can share and collaborate on documents, presentations or images in
real-time with multiple friends or co-workers without loading the file
separately.
Intelligent and Intuitive Interaction
Smart
enough to detect your face, voice and motions, the Galaxy S III
provides a more convenient and natural way for you to interact so it
fits seamlessly into your daily routine.
Let Your Eyes Control the Display:
Thanks to the Smart Stay feature, the screen display will remain bright
as long as you're looking at the phone. Set it down, and it dims
instantly. Because the front-facing camera can identify your eyes--while
reading an e-book or browsing the web, for instance--it recognizes how
you are using your phone and provides a bright display accordingly.
Tell Your Phone What to Do:
The S Voice feature enables the Galaxy S III to actually listen and
respond to your words: tell it to wake up, snooze, take a photo, answer a
call, send a text message, or play a favorite song.
Don't Miss a Message:
If you've been away from your phone, the Smart Alert feature will give
you a vibrating nudge to let you know about missed calls and messages.
