The Samsung Galaxy S III is a smartphone designed, developed, and marketed by Samsung Electronics. Like its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S II, the S III is a touchscreen-based, slate-format Android smartphone, with a significant addition of software features, expanded hardware, and a redesigned physique. In particular, it employs an intelligent personal assistant (S Voice), eye-tracking ability, increased storage and awireless charging option. Depending on countries, the 4.8-inch (120 mm) smartphone comes with different processors and RAM capacity, and 4G LTE support.[7]
Following an eighteen-month development phase, Samsung unveiled the S III on 3 May 2012, in London.[8] The device was released in 28 European and Middle Eastern countries on 29 May 2012, before being progressively released in other major markets in June 2012. Prior to release, 9 million pre-orders were placed by more than 100 carriers globally,[9] making it the fastest-selling gadget in history.[10] The S III was released by approximately 300 carriers in nearly 150 countries at the end of July 2012.[11]
Due to an overwhelming demand and a manufacturing flaw with the blue version of the phone,[12] there was an extensive shortage of the S III, especially in the United States. Nevertheless, the S III was well-received commercially and critically, with some technology commentators touting it as the "iPhone killer".[13] The S III played a major role in boosting Samsung's record operating profit during the second quarter of 2012.[14]
