The Sprint Galaxy S III arrived in the United States over a year ago, and has sold more than 50 million units globally. With a slim 0.34 inch profile (8.6 mm), and a weight of just 4.70 ounces (133 g), the phone is slimmer and lighter than most 4G handsets in the mobile marketplace. Running on the new Sprint 4G LTE system in the US, the phone is available at select online retailers for just one penny on contract. And while most people know about the large high-resolution display, speedy processor and ample RAM memory, there are a few little-known features which really enhance your performance and experience.
The phone was recently upgraded to the Android Jelly Bean operating system, and Samsung has included a popular S Voice application. Most smartphones these days offer some type of voice activated features, and S Voice allows easy access to the Sprint Galaxy S III voice control suite. To launch this feature, simply double tap your Galaxy S III Home button, then you can use your voice for web searches and controlling mobile applications. But you will have to activate it first, and to do so head over to Settings > Language and Input, and switch on Voice Cmd for Apps option.
And thanks to the powerful dual core 1.5 GHz CPU, the Adreno 225 GPU and the 2.0 GB of RAM memory on board, you can simultaneously watch video clips while handling other operations. Whenever you are watching a video clip, simply tap the Pop-Up Player icon at the bottom of the display, and the video is minimized. You can then drag the video display around your screen, and simultaneously check your e-mail, surf the web or perform other functions.
The Sprint Galaxy S III also has a unique App Switch which allows you to view your most recently used applications, quickly moving back and forth between them. To open, hold down the Galaxy S III Home button, and then you can scroll through your recent applications and click to open. The phone also delivers a Task Manager option, which delivers important and updated information on memory card and device storage, how much RAM you are currently using, all active applications which are running and other important data.
Tired of scrolling endlessly to get to the top of your e-mail inbox, contact list or inside an e-mail message? Then the Galaxy S III “Tap-to-Top” feature was made just for you. On your Verizon Wireless Galaxy S III handset, double tap the top of the phone just above its ear speaker, on the device itself and not the display. These are just a few of the many handy features the Verizon Galaxy S III 4G smartphone offers, and with a one penny on contract price tag and powerful hardware package, the Jelly Bean powered Android smartphone continues to be a popular choice.
The Samsung Galaxy S III 16GB is available for a reduced sale price now starting at just one penny .
