The 16 GB Sprint Galaxy S III was recently spotted celebrating the new year. Seen at the Amazon Wireless store retailing for just pennies on contract, the Galaxy S III 4G Android smartphone delivers the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system out-of-the-box. The handset is also NFC capable, supporting wireless connectivity apps like Android S Beam and Google Wallet. Slimmer than most 4G smartphones, the Sprint Galaxy S III contains the Samsung TouchWiz UX UI Android overlay, and supports multitouch, capacitive gestures.
The Galaxy S III for Sprint is available for a reduced sale price now starting at $9.99.
Measuring 5.38 x 2.78 x 0.34 inches (136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6 mm) while weighing 4.70 ounces (133 g), the handset is slim and light when compared to other phones with the same size screen. The 4.8 inch Super AMOLED display on the Sprint Galaxy S III delivers a display resolution which ranks the phone at the high end of the smartphone marketplace. Pixel density runs high at 306 pixels per inch, giving the handset an overall screen resolution of 720 x 1,280 pixels. More than 16 million separate colors are present on that display.
The built-in light sensor automatically adjusts the display brightness taking into account any ambient light present in your surroundings, and the built-in proximity sensor dims the display during extended periods of nonuse, and when you lift the handset to make or receive a voice call. These battery preservation features help the Sprint Galaxy S III deliver above average battery performance, offering 9.20 hours of talk time from a single battery charge.
In the hardware package, the 16 GB Sprint Galaxy S III supports data expansion from microSD, microSDHC and microSDXC memory cards up to 64 GB in size, and a full 2.0 GB of RAM system memory is present. A dual core 1.5 GHz central processor is part of a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960 microchip package, which also includes an Adreno 225 GPU that focuses exclusively on graphics processing.
A customizable equalizer joins a preset equalizer in the music player that is built into the handset’s multimedia package, where a YouTube video player is also found. Popular online destinations Facebook, Twitter and Picasa have also been pre-installed, and the front facing 1.9 megapixel chat cam can be used to place video calls, and also to take portrait snapshots. The 8.0 megapixel camcorder integrated into the back of the Sprint Galaxy S III provides video capture at 1,080P HD resolution, and can also snatch still snapshots while simultaneously recording high definition.
You can purchase the Galaxy S III for Sprint at a discounted price tag now starting at $9.99.
