World GSM Phones – Cell Phones & Accessories Providers, Unlockers

Introduction

Android devices come from all walks of life, but in each generation there is a “chosen one”. In 2012, it’s the Nexus 4 and, as an overall package, this is probably the best Google has ever delivered. Yet, by a mean twist of fate, it has the most formidable opposition of any Nexus phone so far. Even with Google’s official backing, the purebred Nexus 4 is not guaranteed a win against the Samsung Galaxy S III – the Android smartphone of the season, which has been selling in numbers that make Black Friday look like a slow day at the grocery.

The hook of the Nexus 4 is flagship specs at a hard-to-beat price. It has a top-notch screen and chipset, but some corners had to be cut to make the budget (the non-expandable inbuilt memory is particularly painful).

There’s a clear objective but dethroning the Galaxy S III is a huge challenge. That beast of a droid has set the user experience bar quite high. Of course Samsung just cannot match Google’s aggressive pricing, but the 5-month market advantage has made the Galaxy S III a little more affordable. The flip side of the coin is that the Galaxy S III hardware is no longer cream of the crop.

The Nexus 4 on the other hand, has availability issues – it runs out in minutes. Another thing is that it costs $350 only in countries where the Play Store is available too, elsewhere it gets quite steep.

Let’s follow proper championship protocol and go over the highlights of each contender while they wait for the bell in their corners .

Google Nexus 4 over Galaxy S III

• Stock Android, quick updates
• Next generation CPU and GPU architectures, 2GB RAM on all models
• Unofficial, limited LTE connectivity
• Competitive price
• Full RGB strip IPS Plus screen
• Gorilla Glass 2 on the back, eye-catching pattern

Samsung Galaxy S III over Nexus 4

• Better camera
• 16:9 Super AMOLED screen
• More storage options, microSD card slot
• User-removable battery
• USB OTG out of the box
• Plenty of software perks (MultiView, Smart stay, excellent codec support and more)
• Color options
• FM Radio
• Readily available in stores, steady price

The Nexus 4 is using tech that will only go into full swing next year. The Galaxy S III in turn will inevitably start showing its age. Our experience with the two phones though is that the Samsung flagship is not to be easily dismissed.

The software is a different story – Google’s approach is one of purist simplicity, while Samsung throws everything its R&D department has cooking up in the labs (and those guys are pretty prolific).

They say the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, but before we get to the actual experience with the Google Nexus 4 and the Samsung Galaxy S III, we do have to look at their bits and parts first. The hardware checkup is first on our list.

TELUS has been kind enough to put the “coming soon” label on their website for their upcoming handsets, such as the HTC One +, LG Optimus G and the Samsung ATIV S. According to an internal doc we received it shows that TELUS will also be releasing the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 X (this will also be heading to Koodo and Virgin Mobile), plus the Samsung Galaxy S III in Garnet Red. You can expect the Ace 2 X in White to hit stores around November 22nd for $250 outright. As for the Red GS III, no clue… “coming soon.”

Introduction

In a fashion, dramatically different that the one from last year, the US version of the Samsung Galaxy S III has arrived on the market. There is no waiting, measured in months like in the case of the smartphone’s predecessor. This time, Samsung made sure that its flagship will arrive to the most lucrative market in a timely manner.

The Samsung Galaxy S III is available for all major US carriers, but all versions look the same

The above event however is hardly the most important thing about the newly launched smartphone. It’s the handset’s design and, to be more specific, the lack of any changes to it, compared to the I9300 which impresses the most. For the first time ever, Samsung’s Android flagship has arrived to the Land of the Free sans any cosmetic changes for all US carriers – a big deal any way you look at it.

The visuals of the US Galaxy S III might have remained unchanged, but the smartphone’s internals have gone through a serious makeover. Gone is the Exynos chipset with quad-core CPU and Mali 400 GPU. In order to play nice with the 4G networks stateside, the Samsung Galaxy S III has received Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 silicon with two Krait CPU cores, clocked at 1.5GHz. In order to ease up the pain over the lost duo of CPU cores, the Yankee Galaxy S III has twice as much RAM, compared to its global sibling.

Here goes the full list of the US bound Samsung Galaxy S III features:

Key features

• Quad-band GSM and quad-band 3G support (carrier dependent)
• HSDPA and HSUPA support; LTE connectivity (carrier dependent)
• 4.8″ 16M-color Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen of HD (720 x 1280 pixel) resolution; Corning Gorilla Glass 2
• Android OS v4.0.4 with TouchWiz launcher
• 1.5 GHz dual-core Krait CPU, Adreno 225 GPU, Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon chipset, 2GB of RAM
• 8 MP wide-angle lens autofocus camera with LED flash, face, smile and blink detection
• 1080p HD video recording at 30fps
• Dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 b, g, n
• GPS with A-GPS connectivity; GLONASS support, Digital compass
• 16/32GB internal storage, microSD slot
• Accelerometer, gyroscope and proximity sensor
• Standard 3.5 mm audio jack
• microUSB port with USB host and TV-out (1080p) support, MHL, charging
• Stereo Bluetooth v4.0
• FM radio with RDS
• Great audio quality
• Super slim at only 8.6mm
• 2MP secondary video-call camera
• Full Flash for the web browser
• NFC support
• Document editor
• File manager comes preinstalled
• Extremely rich video and audio codec support
• Impressively large 2100 mAh battery

Main disadvantages

• A body with dubious aesthetics
• No dedicated camera key
• S Voice is hardly as functional as ads might make you believe

As you can see above, the US Galaxy S III ticks every box an Android power user can imagine. The smartphone is simply loaded with talents – both in terms of hardware and software.

For those of you, who are in a hurry to bash the dual-core CPU of the handset, we suggest you wait until after we walk you through its benchmark scores. Chances are that your fears are unfounded. We have already put Qualcomm’s latest silicon through its paces, and found it to be quite zippy. Besides, 2 gigs of RAM and LTE or 42Mbps HSDPA connectivity are not exactly a bad tradeoff.

Design is entirely a matter a personal taste. We can attest however, that the smartphone will easily grow on you over a serously short period of time.

It is Official that Samsung Galaxy S III will be available in Canada on June 20. There will be two versions of the Android powerhouse – the LTE sporting SGH-i747 and the 42 Mbps HSPA+ flavored SGH-iT999. The former will hit Bell Mobility, Virgin Mobile, SaskTel, TELUS and Rogers Wireless, while the iT999 will be available on Videotron, Wind and Mobilicity.

Pre-Order Samsung Galaxy S III on WorldGSMPhones

As we suspected, the handset has gone through a slight change of character in order to play nice with the speedy networks across the Atlantic. Both Galaxy S III versions will pack a Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8960 Chipset with two Krait CPU cores, clocked at 1.5GHz. RAM memory has been bumped up to two gigs as well – just like in the case of the Japanese version for NTT Docomo. The LTE version will come with a choice of 16 or 32 gigabytes of built-in memory, while the HSPA+ one will have to make do with a 16GB flavor only. The rest of the specs are identical to the ones found in the I9300.

Given Samsung’s previous record of North American launches, we can reasonably expect that the US variations of the smartphone will have similar specifications. We are still to hear about them though.

The Samsung Galaxy S III is expected to go on sale in Canada on June 20. The screenshot says ‘Pre-order today’, although there is no way to tell when exactly ‘today’ is.

We can also see names of the four major Canadian carries, including Rogers, Bell, Telus and Virgin Mobile who will be selling the phone on launch day.

But it seems Canada won’t be alone in getting the phone on June 20. TMoNews is reporting that T-Mobile in the US will also be getting the Pebble Blue variant on the same day, with the Marble White version arriving on July 11 and only in 16GB variant.

All of these are just rumors at this point and it’s best not to dwell too much on them. We’ll let you know when we hear something concrete.

Bluetooth SIG approval pages have confirmed the existence and model numbers of the AT&T and T-Mobile US versions of the Samsung Galaxy S III. The AT&T model number is SGH-I747 and should be based on the Snapdragon S4 chipset with a dual-core Krait CPU instead of the Cortex-A9 found on the international version. The reason for the switch is once again the lack of native LTE support on the Exynos 4 Quad.

The T-Mobile-bound Galaxy S III version will be called SGH-T999, but it’s unclear what chipset will reside inside its body.

The T-Mobile-bound Galaxy S III version will be called SGH-T999, but it’s unclear what chipset will reside inside its body.

Never mind the photos, both devices will look different from the international version for sure and will almost certainly replace the one-regular-and-two touch-buttons combo with four capacitive keys. There’s also a good chance that one (or even both) of them will have 2GB RAM as the Japanese version.

The US release of the Galaxy S III is coming next month, so we should know more about the two devices soon.

Introduction

Samsung have spared no effort to protect the Galaxy S III against any odds. What we get as a result is the most amazing blend of performance and features we are likely to see this year.

  
Samsung Galaxy S III official shots

The Koreans took their time with the new flagship, giving the predecessor a full year at the helm. But they were taking no chances and they’ve got the spec sheet to prove it. With most of the hardware made by Samsung themselves, the Galaxy S III is an endless list of mind-blowing numbers. The quad-core beast packs a 720p Super AMOLED screen and a massive battery, but keeps its slim waistline.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Here’s the underwater part:

Key features

• Quad-band GSM and quad-band 3G support
• 21 Mbps HSDPA and 5.76 Mbps HSUPA support
• 4.8″ 16M-color Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen of HD (720 x 1280 pixel) resolution; Corning Gorilla Glass 2
• Android OS v4.0.4 with TouchWiz launcher
• 1.4 GHz quad-core Cortex-A9 CPU, Mali-400MP GPU, Exynos 4 Quad chipset, 1GB of RAM
• 8 MP wide-angle lens autofocus camera with LED flash, face, smile and blink detection
• 1080p HD video recording at 30fps
• Dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 b, g, n
• GPS with A-GPS connectivity; GLONASS support, Digital compass
• 16/32/64GB internal storage, microSD slot
• Accelerometer, gyroscope and proximity sensor
• Standard 3.5 mm audio jack

Main disadvantages

• All-plastic body of dubious aesthetics
• No dedicated camera key
• microSIM slot
• S Voice is hardly as functional as ads might make you believe

A long list of assets and a rather short list of cons speak volumes about the amount of effort that went into building the Samsung I9300 Galaxy S III. Were they just trying to improve each and every aspect of the user experience over the Galaxy S II, or was creating the ultimate droid their goal all along? The more we think about it, the more it looks the same.

 
The Samsung I9300 Galaxy S III at ours

Samsung are in a way raising their own bar yet again. But the competition hasn’t been idle either. We’ve seen proof already that the Galaxy S III is a smartphone that thrives on a challenge. It now has the stage all to itself. You could call it a curtain call if the story of the Galaxy S III wasn’t just about to begin.
