Samsung, the world’s largest phone maker, released details on Thursday of a new smartphone, the Galaxy S III. It’s the third version of the manufacturer’s most successful smartphone.
The phone has a 4.8-inch screen — bigger than the iPhone’s 3.5-inch display, but smaller than the one on the largest Android phone, the Samsung Galaxy Note. It has an eight-megapixel camera and a front-facing camera for video conferencing. It includes the latest Android software system, called Ice Cream Sandwich.
The Galaxy S III’s highlight feature is S Voice, which allows a user to speak commands to control the phone, similar to the Siri feature on the iPhone. If the alarm goes off and you need a bit more rest, you can say “Snooze” to the phone. The feature can also be used to play songs, adjust volume, organize schedules and send e-mails, Samsung said.
Samsung’s Galaxy S line of smartphones has been instrumental to the company’s success in the smartphone market. The company released its first Galaxy S smartphone in 2010, and it sold 10 million units in 10 months. Later, Samsung rolled out more products under the Galaxy brand, including the Galaxy S II phone and the Galaxy Tab tablet.
