You probably do not have to be told that the Samsung Galaxy S III 4G Android smartphone is currently one of the hottest smartphones on the planet. You probably are also aware that the handset has sold more than 50 million units globally. And there is almost no denying that, unless you have lived under a rock for the last six months, you have seen the popular commercials showing Galaxy S III owners sending data files, playlists, applications, games and other data wirelessly to other Android smartphone owners by simply tapping the two devices together.
The large high-resolution screen, powerful processor and overall feature package of the Galaxy S III work very well on the speedy and pervasive Verizon wireless 4G LTE system in the United States. And the data share features the NFC capable handset offers are some of the most widely used applications. The most common, the one referenced above, is called one touch sharing or Android Beam (S Beam when operating between two Galaxy S III smartphones).
This Near Field Communications transfer actually “beams” photos, videos, presentations and other multimedia or data between your Verizon Galaxy S III smartphone and another Android phone simply by touching the backs of the handsets together. You simply locate whatever data you want to share, and it is sent instantly. In the same selfless sharing motif is the Share Shot feature which allows you to set up a temporary photo sharing network.
Any Samsung Galaxy S III owners who are in a physical proximity to your phone can be added to the photo sharing network which you create. Once everyone in that group is connected via Wi-Fi direct (multi-connect) access, any photos taken by a member of that group will automatically be shared instantly by everyone else in the group. This is a great feature for parties or other events, and makes sharing your photo memories instantaneous and easy.
And the AllShare Play feature allows you to stream your favorite multimedia content to a compatible Samsung SmartTV, compatible home audio system, your tablet or laptop when all of those devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi Access Point. The 16 GB Verizon Galaxy S III was recently spotted bearing a bargain bin price tag, retailing for $49 on contract at the Amazon Wireless store. The handset delivers a large 4.80 inch display with 720 x 1,280 pixel resolution, and comes equipped with a full 2.0 GB of RAM memory and a microSD slot for storage expansion opportunities.
