Samsung galaxy s3 (The Pebble)


Today i'm going to be talking about the galaxy s3, the conference hasjust finished. Samsung are really looking forward to eventually launching thisphone and seeing the success of it rise just like the galaxy i9000 which sadlyisn't getting an upgrade to ice cream sandwich.

Samsung are saying it s going to be extraordianry, an experience thatyou'll fall in love with and never forget. The galaxy s3 will reinvent thesmartphone market. Samsung are also saying that it's the best new class ofsmartphone in the world.

The galaxy s 3 will feature a 4.8 inch super amoled display to supportwide viewing angles. Featuring an 8 megapixel back facing camera capable ofshooting 1080p video and you've also got a front facing camera that also doesHD video, it may not be 1080p, it will be 720p video recording. That'sbrilliant for a front facing camera. Normally they are either 2.0 megapixel andnormally a vga video recording.

Samsung didn't mention how much ram it is but the cpu inside isquad-core, samsung didn't say it was nvidia tegra 3 chip set but i'm prettysure it's capable of running high class games just like the tegra 3 cpu. The pebbleis what I like to call the galaxy s3 also supports 4G LTE. Now I know whatyou're thinking how battery life is going to be powering quad core and 4.8super amoled display. Well no worries the battery is a 2100mah. So battery lifeisn't an issue.

The design of the phone: samsung say they've been inspired by nature byusing elements like water, wind, leaves and pebbles. It's effortlessly smartand intuitevily simple. It's only a very thin 8.6mm and 133grams. The designand the curvature of the phone was based on a pebble, The smooth and slim design ofa pebble.
when you touch the screen it feels like water as you can glide your fingers easily over the screen.

It's not a smartphone anymore, it's now called a human phone and theysay it links life and technology together. It's the most anticipated phone fromsamsung and it's going to be the biggest launch ever from samsung. Samsung areeven going round to major cites like new york and london and promote and launchthe phone in each country.

The galaxy s3 has a physial home button and two touch sensetivebuttons, probably going to be the back button and the multi-tasking button.

Now let's talk about the big features that have really surprised thelot of us. Samsung are naming this new technology 'smart tray'. Say you'regetting a phone call and you over at your phone and it will know hoe far youare away from you phone so it eill either activate the speaker or using the inphone speaker. If you're browsing the web, you don't even have to look at thescreen as the screen will track your eyes and it will detect if you want toread on or not. Auto sleep if you take your eyes away from the device. It’s also got siri like functionality but with way morestuff than siri like you can say to your phone ‘hi galaxy’ or hi buddy and itwill respond to you and you can ask it a question, you can open applicationslike facebook just by saying ‘hey buddy open facebook’. The phone is verysimple to use but it might take people ages to work out all the nuts and cracksin it to know all the commands all the gestures and everything else. If you’retexting a person and you want to phone this person, you don’t need to touchyour display, all you need to do while in the message thread is raise the phoneto your ear and it will start ringing that person.

It’s got something called social tag, when you take a photo it willdetect your friends and put them in a folder with your friends name and if youupload them on facebook they will automatically be tagged.

The way the phone handles multitasking is an amazing. It’s not the basicice cream sandwich multi-tasking or the webos or webos the HTC sense 4.0multitasking. It views every application in a window form. There was a newjailbreak tweak the other day called quasar for the ipad from cydia and the wayit handles multi-tasking is mind blowing… it might not be mind blowing for awindows machine or a Mac but it sure is hell mind blowing for a tablet.

The phone is going to be preloaded with ice cream sandwich obviously: Pfor Europe the phone is going to be released June for other countries I’m notreally sure, I’ve missed it. I could easily check but these are the notes that I’vegot from the events and I don’t want to read anybody else at first so I can putmy own thoughts and opinions on it.

The Tagline for the pebble is designed for humans. Created to be touched and experienceby humans. Samsung are saying it’s a celebration for mankind and this is whathappens when nature and technology come together.

Once again Samsung has redesigned of what we call a Smartphone.
Now I didn’t really believe that when it on the live feed but listing all thefeatures and reading through my notes, I do think they have actually redesignedthe phone.



if i talked about all the features, this blog would be about 5 pages long so that tells you something... Samsung have really gone far out to bring the best device to the market

sorry if some of it didn’t make any sense but you can kinda get thefeatures that the pebble has got.  Thanksfor reading J

  1. I don't think it is 4g/lte from launch is it? Sounded like 3G only for now and 4g later on. Not that it matters in the UK though :-)
