The Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGS3) has finally launched.

Let’s see some of the key features that SGS3 has to offer before we review the product:

·         16, 32 or 64GB storage options, also has a microSD card slot.

·         8.6mm thick and weighs 133g.

·         4.8 inches, Super AMOLED Screen.

·         Quad-core processor clocked at 1.4GHz.

·         8MP Camera.

·         1080p HD video recording at 30fps.

·         NFC support.

·         Android OS, v4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich).

·         Impressively large 2100 mAh battery.

The S3 is a phone for people with serious power needs, if you want a device for 3D gaming, HD video streaming and browsing the web the S3 has the super powered engine and massive display you are waiting for.

Samsung has ditched the rectangular look that dominated the S2, opting instead for an oval-shaped styling. The camera is almost flush to the back of the casing, and along the edges is some chrome lining. The Galaxy S3 is 8.6mm thick and weighs 133g. That makes it ever so slightly thicker than the S2, which is 8.49mm deep, but thinner than the 8.9mm HTC 1x. The HD Super AMOLED screen, which is the same display used for Note is a real treat for the eyes.

The S3 comes with a quad-core processor clocked at 1.4GHz, which means it's more than capable of chomping through high-resolution video and graphically demanding games. As you'd expect, performance feels super-slick, with none of the sluggishness or lag.

A more powerful processor also means the S3 is less likely to be left out in the cold when the next version of Android is rolled out.

With the broad display real estate, high-resolution and powerful processor, it's no surprise the S3 excels at web browsing. Websites not only look glorious on the S3's display but are typically very quick to load and render, and a real joy to swipe, pinch and flick around.

The Galaxy S3 is running on Android, Google's mobile operating system. Specifically, the S3 is powered by Android 4.0, aka Ice Cream Sandwich, which is the latest version.

There is are new features, including a 'Pop up Play' feature that lets you watch videos while performing boring functions like sending a text, and a transfer tool called S Beam, which lets you send large files over a Wi-Fi connection.

Voice control is on board too, now called S Voice
