When talking about the smartphone competition especially the Android ecosystem, there is no doubt that the Samsung Galaxy S III remains as one of the more popular devices currently available in the market today. In fact, the popularity of the Samsung flagship device has already been apparent even before it hit the shelves and this only became more pronounced when it was finally launched on a global scale. After all, the popularity of a handset that managed to sell 30 million units since its release in May is definitely off the charts, don’t you think so?
The Samsung Galaxy S III is available for a reduced holiday price tag now starting at $69.99.
This popularity of the Samsung Galaxy S III is said to be a product of the combination of the handset’s gorgeous exterior and very impressive internals. After all, the handset descends from the lineage of the royal Galaxy S handsets of the Korean electronics giant and it is only natural that it be given fire-breathing components under the hood. And with this impressive specs sheet, one can only expect that the Samsung Galaxy S III will also bring even more impressive capabilities to the table. And with the Premium Suite update now rolling out to the handset in select territories, it can only be expected that the Samsung Galaxy S III will become more powerful than it already after getting access to features and functionalities only found in the Samsung Galaxy Note II in the past.
However, we are quick to remind everybody that no device is perfect, no matter what operating system it is running, so issues will always come up sooner or later. In the case of the Samsung Galaxy S III, it looks like several owners of the handset have experience what they only describe as “sudden handset death.”
Those who have experience this on their handset attest to the fact that their Samsung Galaxy S III smartphones tuned off all by themselves for inexplicable reasons but failed to reboot after that. According to a thread on XDA, the affected Samsung Galaxy S III handsets usually last from 150 days to about 200 and their mainboards will just suddenly die. Samsung is yet to issue a comment on this concern but one user of the handset said that a technician in an authorized repair center and another person in a Samsung warranty call center confirmed that they are seeing this issue a lot lately. With that in mind, the severity of the issue or how widespread it has become hasn’t been ascertained yet but once we have more details, we’ll be sure to let you know.
As for the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III 4G, the handset is powered by a QualComm MSM8960 SnapDragon chipset in its internals where a dual-core Krait processor with a clock speed of 1.5 GHz works in conjunction with a staggering 2GB of RAM to ensure that the performance of the handset is always speedy and lag-free. The handset was released in a 16GB and a 32GB model in terms of storage but a user also has the option to have this expanded using the microSD card slot of the Samsung Galaxy S III. As for its display, the handset comes with a 4.8-inch SuperAMOLED HD panel with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels while its camera department features a rear 8MP shooter and a front 1.9MP snapper.
The Samsung Galaxy S III is available for a discounted price now starting at $69.99.
