2012 Tech Report: The latest Samsung Galaxy S3 Features!

  
The Samsung Galaxy S3 features innovative new technology to see if you're looking at it and keep the screen on if you are. Here's a brief look at the year's most hotly anticipated phone.

4.8” Amoled HD screen

The S3’s enormous screen feels big in the hand, although the device is just 16 per cent larger than its predecessor, the 20 million selling S2.

Smart Stay

The phone tracks your eyes, so as long as you’re looking at it, the display won’t dim or turn off.

Direct Call

If you’ve got a contact on your screen, there’s no need to hit call: simply hold the device up to your face and the number will be dialled automatically.

Smart Alert

Samsung’s enhanced notifications centre tells you what’s happened since you last looked at your phone in order of importance.

Burst shot and best photo

The 8MP camera now offers a 20-shot burst mode and will choose the best photo for you. Photos now possible at the same time as video filming.

Face Zoom and Slide Show

Double tap a face to zoom in; automatic slide show generation zooms in on faces as individual pictures for pictures with lots of people

Social network and camera integration

Automatic tagging of pictures, and the option to send images directly to those identified in them, called Buddy Photo Share, or display social media profile information on screen. Group Tag lets you tag multiple people in one go, if you set up a group first.

Dropbox storage

50GB of free Dropbox storage for two years.

S-Voice

That’s S for Samsung, not Siri. This feature allows you to control your phone through voice, eg to turn up the volume, and to ask it questions.

S-Beam

High speed file transfer via NFC and WiFi Direct, between two phones touched together, operating at up to 300Mbps.

Pop Up Play

Play video in a window on any homescreen.

All Share Play and Cast

Share your S3’s screen to a TV, or use the screen as a remote control.
