In today’s smartphone scene, no single smartphone can be considered perfect regardless of how powerful its components are. There will always be a snag, however minor, that will come up and these are what software updates are for – to make a capable device even more capable that it already is. Take the case of the Samsung Galaxy S III from AT&T for example – a lot of good things have already been said about the current Samsung flagship device but is it perfect? Not by a long shot – which is exactly why AT&T has released a software update that is designed to improve the performance of the handset.
Should you pack an AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy S III, you should wake up to a notification that heralds the arrival of a software update on your baby. This latest update for the handset weighs in at approximately 82MB and is expected to add features already see in the international version of the Samsung Galaxy S III. Once applied to the device, the most notable treat that this little update brings to the Samsung Galaxy S III is the new slider for brightness adjustment in the notification dropdown of the handset. In addition to that, the update also brings a new VPN along with enhancements in the handset’s enterprise security. The update also brings the new I717UCLH9 radio firmware to the device.
If you haven’t seen the notification that will let you know of the update’s availability on your handset, you also have the option of doing a manual check for the update by going to Settings > About phone > software update.
As for the ATT Samsung Galaxy S III, this remains as one of the best smartphones in the market today. It is also by far one of the most popular where sales figures for the handset reached the 20 million mark in just 100 days. In fact, even before the handset reached the shelves, its popularity already preceded it when preorders for the handset have reached 9 million in just a couple of days after the unveiling of the handset. From then on, the Samsung Galaxy S III became one of the best-selling devices over at AT&T which is not surprising at all – after all, the handset brings to the table impressive components and even more impressive capabilities.
The Samsung Galaxy S III shipped with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich for its operating system but is scheduled to get an upgrade to Jelly Bean next month. A QualComm MSM8960 Snapdragon chipset is at the heart of its operations and this SoC gives the Samsung Galaxy S III a dual-core 1.5 Ghz Krait processor and a staggering 2GB of RAM. The handset has a storage capacity pegged at 16GB and a microSD card slot in its chassis also enables memory expansion on the device. Its display on the other hand is a massive 4.8-inch SuperAMOELD HD panel with a 1280 x 720 resolution while its camera department features a rear 8MP shooter and a front 1.9MP video call canera.
