The superb GalAxY S3
There's something so refreshing about seeing such fervour about a phone that's not prefaced with an 'i' – so it's almost an honour to be one of the first publications to get a proper hands on with the Samsung Galaxy S3.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 has been snapped multiple times in leaks – some more accurate than others, it has to be said – and the specs mooted have turned out to be pretty bang on.While the Korean firm has been subject to the same clamour for information as Apple, which will have pleased the now-largest smartphone maker after years as an also-ran in the mobile phones space, it's not been in the same league as the Cupertino lot when it comes to secrecy.
But that doesn't matter – megapixels and gigabytes don't mean anything if they're not wrapped up in a decent package, so is the Samsung Galaxy S3 a worthy successor to the much-loved Galaxy S2?
Design
The Samsung Galaxy S3 is, according to Samsung anyway, 'inspired by nature – it sees, listens, responds, and allows you to share the greatest moments'.
While this is all a little hyperbolic, the nature theme is certainly present when you handle the phone for the first time. Brushed plastic – you've got a choice of 'Marble White' and 'Pebble Blue' – adorns the large device, which runs in with dimensions of 136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6mm, despite still having to pack in a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED HD screen.
We'll lay it out right now: the plastic feeling of the Galaxy S3 won't appeal to all. It feels very lightweight (despite tipping the scales at 133g) in the hand, and some people will read this as feeling a little cheap.
However, it's exactly the same sensation as we found on the Galaxy S2, and given the silly numbers of sales that had, we think there's more than a market for a phone that you'll barely notice in your pocket most of the time.
Compared to rest of the Galaxy line, the S3 has more in common with the original Galaxy S than the Galaxy S2, with curved edges the theme in the design language. The home button has also been elongated, although the same menu and back buttons remain from the prequel.
Overall, the effect is much more like the Samsung Galaxy Nexus than anything else – rounded edges, HD screen but with a more minimal bezel to really accentuate the screen in the hand.
And let's take a minute and talk about the screen: it's beautiful. We almost feel sad that this isn't the first HD screen we've seen on a mobile phone, as it's kind of lost its lustre since the likes of the Nexus, Note and One X have all managed the same trick – but if you've not seen one before and you compare it to a Galaxy S2, its worlds apart.
The 309ppi pixel density is up there with the iPhone 4S, and it makes us realise that while a Retina Display is lovely, 3.5-inch screens just don't cut it any more.
We'll be mightily surprised if the combined popularity of the HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy S3 don't prompt Apple into a re-tooling of the screen with the iPhone 5, as the contrast ratio, large display and excellent colour reproduction will definitely wow users on the shelves.
It seems Samsung has tweaked the colour balance on the Galaxy S3 as well – things don't look as saturated as before, which will certainly help entice those that previously were against Super AMOLED before due to the harshness of colours.
But in the hand, the Samsung Galaxy S3 feels superb. The design contours well against the palm, and while the screen size may be a little big for some (you'll need a bit of shuffling to reach the upper section of the screen) it's definitely useable in the hand.
So in short: if you don't mind plastic and you like big HD screens in your pocket, this is a phone definitely worth checking out.
Interface
Samsung has unsurprisingly re-tooled the Touchwiz overlay for the Galaxy S3, and has really gone to town with the whole 'inspired by nature' business.
For instance, the lock screen now becomes more interactive than ever. You don't get a visual clue when you're unlocking (which may be a nod to the litigation brought forth by Apple on the subject) but touch the screen and you'll see a little water ripple under the finger.
Added to that is a little water drop sound, and the whole effect is surprisingly pleasing. We can see it irritating a few people after a while though, so turning it off will probably be a decent option.
It's clear with the S3 that Samsung has worked out there's only so much it can do on the hardware side these days – not to say that we're pretty impressed with the spec list - and as such has tried to bring the unique flavour through the interface instead.
With the re-worked Touchwiz, there's a definite sense the whole process has been simplified, as the phone has got a much easier feel to it when swiping around. That's not to say there aren't loads of widgets to be played with, but there is less clutter on the larger screen.
The dock at the bottom of the display has been increased to now hold five favourite items, which is a real plus for those that want internet, mail, phone and messaging all within easy reach (as well as the app menu).
Swiping around the display was easy as pie – it's not exactly taxing on the processor, but we could not find a jot of slowdown in the pre-production model we were playing with, which always bodes immensely well.
However, there is a worry that the quad core 1.4 GHz Exynos CPU could suck power a little too dramatically – and to that end Samsung has come out with an innovative eye-tracking method called Smart Stay.
This idea will track your eyes when looking at the display, and dim it when you're not checking out your phone. In practice it seemed a little all over the place when trying it, but there's only a momentary icon that pops up to let you know if the eye has been tracked by the camera.
It's a novel idea though, and one that could really be ace if it comes to fruition as Samsung hopes.
The other 'smart' idea Samsung had was the idea that voice recognition could work with Smart Voice – and we hope that this does actually happen as it was nowhere near Siri level on the Samsung Galaxy S2.
Visually, there are a few cues from Siri in the demo we saw – although we couldn't actually try it out as the connectivity was really poor in our demo. But in theory you'll be able to say 'Hi Galaxy' or 'Hi Buddy' to activate the voice control, and do anything from change the music control to initiating the camera.
We're still not convinced that voice control will ever really work on a phone, but Samsung is touting 'natural language processing' as the reason why the phone will be more accurate in hearing what you say.
Smart alert is also present, and will be a lot more useful than voice activation. Pick up the phone when you've got a missed call or text and it will vibrate gently in your hand in combination with the notification light to let you know you're a popular bunny.
But overall the good news is the large screen looks great, the slick operation under the finger is exactly what we wanted and the little touches like the rippling lock screen do actually feel quite natural.

The " AWSOME " Lumia 800
Nokia Lumia 800 (codenamed 'Sea Ray') is a Windows Phone OS powered smartphone, first unveiled by the company's CEO Stephen Elop, on 26 October 2011 at the Nokia World 2011 event.[4] It is Nokia's first mobile phone to run Windows Phone OS as a part of the first wave of Windows Phone devices to be released by the company as it shifts focus from the Symbian and MeeGo platforms for premium priced phones. The design of the body is based on Nokia N9 that is made from polycarbonate plastic but with a physical camera button on the right side of the phone and the dual LED flash moved directly above the Carl Zeiss camera lens,[5] as well as having a smaller 3.7" display to accommodate the capacitive softkeys. The phone was launched in the UK on November 16, 2011.[6]
Software
The phone is provided with two Nokia exclusive applications—'Nokia Drive', a free Turn-by-turn navigation system and 'Nokia Music', a free streaming music service similar to Last.fm but which optionally lets users purchase tunes from the Nokia Music Store.
Reception
The Nokia Lumia 800 won "Editor's Choice" award of 2011 What Mobile magazine.[7] Their review rated it 5/5, and said "The Lumia 800 is a massive step forward for Nokia and sits apart in an increasingly crowded market. Alongside Windows Phone Mango, there’s enough inside the Lumia 800 to worry rivals and make iPhone fans jealous".[8]
Brian Klug of AnandTech in his review wrote, "The Lumia 800 is indubitably the best Windows Phone hardware out there right now" , with notable features such as "camera without compromises, hardware build quality that’s unique and solid, Nokia’s attention to detail..."[9] Regarding the shortcomings, Klug wrote, "lack of USB or external storage, a still fledgling application ecosystem, and a few others."[9] Regarding the Camera, Brian Klug said, "Lumia 800’s camera comes out looking very good against the rest of the 8MP competition, and for me this is the first F/2.2 8 MP shooter I’ve come across. With less compression and better ISP, it could be even better than most."[10]
In the Engadget review, Sharif Sakr wrote, "Nokia's Lumia 800 is a sophisticated and capable smartphone that melds its hardware beautifully with the Windows Phone OS." Sherif Sakr writes that while the phone lacked features like USB mass storage, expandable storage, the phone is a welcome for those who want to be "part of a carefully crafted, simple and generally happy emerging ecosystem."[3]
PC World said that the Nokia Lumia 800 has solid guts and shiny looks, and was an "interesting proposal", though they also said it had "nothing extraordinary to offer" when compared to the highest end models the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Motorola Droid RAZR or the more expensive iPhone 4s in hardware and software.[11]
Cnet UK noted that the phone was 'overall, the Lumia 800 is a very good handset. The Windows Phone software is slick and fun to use, especially if you like to keep up-to-date with what friends are up to on social networking sites. It also looks attractive and the excellent build quality gives you the confidence that it's built to last.'[12] CNET UK made a camera comparison with the current high-end phones iPhone 4S and Samsung Galaxy S II and wrote that Lumia 800 "didn't offer the quality of camera we were hoping for."[13] Regarding the Camera, GSM Arena wrote that, "We were quite impressed by the job done by the 8 megapixel sensor and the bright F/2.2 lens. Images might not be the sharpest around and the noise levels are only average, but their colors and contrast are great, despite the sub-optimal lighting. Cameraphone lovers should definitely check this one out."[14]
Ketaki Bhojnagarwala in The Hindu review wrote, "The Lumia 800 isn't perfect, but its one of the best products that Nokia has released in the market in recent months. I have no complaints about the hardware - Nokia gets it right every time. Windows Mango is a refreshing and vibrant operating system that's already got a big fan list,..."[15]
Matthew Baxter-Reynolds of The Guardian, after using a Nokia Lumia 800 for a month and being a previous iPhone user, argued that the Nokia Lumia 800 is not up to an iPhone. In summary, he wrote: "I really wanted Windows Phone to work for me. This was £400 of my own money spent to try it. But it just doesn't work well enough to be the small-scale personal computer that I must have on me all the time."[16]
Issues
Audio
Nokia Lumia 800 is claimed to have "sound quality problems" when using low impedance headphones like the supplied ones.[17] Nokia has acknowledged the issue and they are working on a fix.[18]
Battery
In December 2011 Nokia confirmed that some Lumia 800 devices do not use the full capacity of their battery.[19] Nokia announced that they would fix the problem with a software update in early 2012.[20] Brian Klug in his AnandTech review wrote that it's possible that the battery charging issue has been "addressed already, though there’s another update coming down the line as well", since the latest update for the Lumia 800 as of the writing of the review (04-Jan-2012) was "1600.2479.7740.11451" which included “charging improvements” in the change-log.[21] During 19-20th January 2012, two updates were made available—battery related software update and another of Windows Phone 7.5 Mango build 8107.[22] Nokia has stated that battery issues are fixed, but some users are reporting a decline in battery performance.[23]
Camera
Nokia has confirmed camera focus problems when snapping. They are working on a fix.[24]
Connectivity
Transferring data is possible with the Zune software on Windows PCs or through the Windows Phone 7 Connector synchronization software for Macs. WiFi sync is also available when the phone is charging and connected to the same network as the host PC. Solutions that require 3rd party access to data like USB Mass Storage or file transfer via bluetooth are not supported. The Lumia 800 promote Microsoft services including a 25GB of free SkyDrive storage that can be used for images, audio tracks and others.[14]
