The iPhone 5 is a touchscreen-based smartphone developed by Apple Inc, the sixth generation of the iPhone. It was
announced on September 12, 2012,[5][6] and was released on September 21. It has a larger 4-inch screen and a
smaller eight-pin dock connector than its predecessor, and is lighter, thinner, and contains the Apple A6 processor.[7]
It is the first iPhone that supports LTE or has a screen with a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio.
The reception to the iPhone was primarily positive as many reviewers praised the hardware improvements such as
the larger[8] and higher resolution screen and improved internal components. However, many negatively received the
new Maps application as it is reported to contain many serious errors. Additionally, the Swiss Federal Railways have
accused Apple of copying without permission its iconic Swiss railway clock design for the iOS 6 operating system
used by the iPhone.[9][10]

History
Speculation about the iPhone 5 and its specifications arose shortly after
the announcement of the iPhone 4S. However, detailed rumours and
leaks did not emerge until June 2012.[11] As early as July 30, 2012,
reports pinpointed the exact date of unveiling and release of the phone
along with probable features.[12]
On September 4, 2012, Apple invited the media to an event scheduled
for September 12, 2012, at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San
The iPhone 5 was announced at the Yerba Buena
Francisco. Many sources speculated that this would be related to the
Center for the Arts on September 12, 2012.
next iPhone due to a shadow of the number 5 that featured in the
design of the invitations.[13] Apple subsequently announced a number
of new products including the iPhone 5, iPod Nano (7th generation), and iPod Touch (5th generation) at the same
event.[5] The phone was available for pre-order on September 14, 2012.

A few days after the iPhone 5 was announced over two million orders had been taken.[2]

Features

Software
The iPhone 5 uses iOS, Apple's mobile operating system.[15] The user interface of iOS is based on the concept of
direct manipulation, using multi-touch gestures. Interface control elements consist of sliders, switches, and buttons.
The response to user input is immediate and provides a fluid interface.[16] Interaction with the OS includes gestures
such as swipe, tap, pinch, and reverse pinch, all of which have specific definitions within the context of the iOS
operating system and its multi-touch interface. Internal accelerometers are used by some applications to respond to
shaking the device (one common result is the undo command) or rotating it vertically (one common result is
switching from portrait to landscape mode).[16]
The 5 uses iOS 6, which was released on September 19, 2012.[15] It can act as a hotspot, sharing its internet
connection over WiFi, Bluetooth, or USB,[17] and also accesses the App Store, a digital application distribution
platform for iOS developed and maintained by Apple. The service allows users to browse and download applications
from the iTunes Store that were developed with Xcode and the iOS SDK and were published through Apple.
Many of the iPhone 5's features that work specifically with the included new iOS 6.0 operating system, will only
work in certain territories on release.[18] Apple has said this is a rolling program, which will take longer to
implement across more regions.[19]
The iPhone 5 can play music, movies, television shows, ebooks, audiobooks, and podcasts and can sort its media
library by songs, artists, albums, videos, playlists, genres, composers, podcasts, audiobooks, and compilations.
Options are always presented alphabetically, except in playlists, which retain their order from iTunes.[20] The iPhone
uses a large font that allows users plenty of room to touch their selection. Users can rotate their device horizontally
to landscape mode to access Cover Flow. Like on iTunes, this feature shows the different album covers in a
scroll-through photo library. Scrolling is achieved by swiping a finger across the screen. Alternatively, headset

iPhone 5 4

controls can be used to pause, play, skip, and repeat tracks. On the 5, the volume can be changed with the included
Apple Earphones, and the Voice Control feature can be used to identify a track, play songs in a playlist or by a
specific artist, or create a Genius playlist.[20]
The iPhone 5 has a voice control system called "Siri",[20] that allows the user to operate the iPhone by spoken
commands. For example, "What is the weather going to be like?" will generate a spoken response like "The weather
is to be cloudy and rainy and drop to 54 degrees today". Application software cannot respond to voice commands,
for security reasons. The commands given do not have to be formulated using rigidly determined wording; natural
language can be used. Siri is accessed by holding down rather than tapping the home button.
On the iPhone 5, texting can be aided by the voice assistant, which converts speech to text.[20] In addition to regular
texting, messaging on the iPhone 5 is supported by iMessage, a specialized instant messaging program and service
that allows unlimited texting to other Apple devices running iOS 5 and 6. This supports the inclusion of content such
as images and sound in text messages, integration with the device's voice-controlled software assistant, and read
acknowledgements for sent messages. Input to the device comes from a keyboard displayed on the multi-touch
screen or by voice-to text by speaking into the microphone. Entered text is supported by predictive and suggestion
software; there is a multi-language spell-checker which recognises many regional accents of different languages.[20]
The built-in Maps app uses Apple’s new vector-based engine that eliminates lag, making for smoother zooming.
New to Maps is turn-by-turn navigation spoken directions, 3D views in some major cities and real-time traffic.[21]
Turn-by-turn navigation is only available for iPhone 4S or later and iPad 2 or later with cellular capability, while 3D
views are only available for iPhone 4S or later, iPod touch 5th generation, and iPad 2 or later.[22]
iOS 6 brings the retrieval of documents such as boarding passes, admission tickets, coupons and loyalty cards
through its new Passbook app. An iOS device with Passbook can be scanned under a reader to process a mobile
payment at participating locations. The app has context-aware features such as notifications for relevant coupons
when in the immediate vicinity of a given store.[21][23]
Apple’s Siri intelligent personal assistant was improved to include the ability to make restaurant reservations, launch
apps, dictate Facebook or Twitter updates, retrieve movie reviews and detailed sports statistics.[21] Facebook comes
integrated through Apple’s native apps with iOS 6. Facebook features can be directly accessed from within native
apps such as Calendar which can sync Facebook events, or use Facebook’s like button from within the Apple App
Store.[21]
New privacy settings are available to the user. In addition to location services, the following have been added in iOS
6: photos (already partially restricted in iOS 5), contacts (address book), calendars, reminders, bluetooth sharing,
Twitter, Facebook, and Sina Weibo. iOS 6 also comes with a “Limit ad tracking” user control in the general settings
menu to allow users the option to prevent targeted advertising. Apple’s Advertising Identifier replaces the company’s
existing UDID standard. Advertising networks not yet using Apple’s Advertising Identifier device identifier standard
would not be affected although Apple will require the standard in the future.[24]

iPhone 5 5

Hardware
The iPhone 5 features an improved system on chip (SOC), called the Apple
A6, which Apple says achieves twice the performance of the A5.[7][25] The
camera has improved low-light performance, and is 40% faster than its
predecessors. The front (FaceTime) camera has a higher resolution, at 1.2
megapixels. The rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery is built in and
cannot be replaced by the user; it is rated at 225 hours of standby time and
8 hours of talk time.

The display is 1,136 × 640 pixels with an aspect ratio of almost exactly 16:9.
With a diagonal of 4" it has a display size of 1.96 square inches, compared to
1.94 in iPhone 4 and 4S.
Apple's A6 chip is 22% smaller than the

from 512 MB to 1 GB. Storage capacities available are fixed at 16, 32 or
64 GB, the same as as the 4S; plug-in expansion memory is not supported.
The two color options are black (with black glass and slate-colored metal trim), and white (with white glass and
silver-colored metal trim); again the same color options (though differently implemented) as its predecessor the 4S
had.[26]

The phone takes a nano-SIM, smaller than the micro-SIM of the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.[27]
All versions of the iPhone 5 are 18% thinner, 20% lighter, and have 12% less overall volume than its predecessor,
the iPhone 4S. The phone's aluminum body is 0.30 in (7.6 mm) thick.
The iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S had stainless steel instead of aluminium due to Steve Job's preference for the metal
which he claims, "looks beautiful when it wears".[28][29]
Apple claims it is the thinnest smartphone in the world at 7.6 mm, though that claim has been disputed as the Oppo
Finder is thinner and some other smartphones can be considered to be thinner, depending upon where thickness is
measured. The Oppo Finder measures 6.65 mm at its thinnest point and 7.1 mm at its thickest point making it overall
thinner than the iPhone.[30][31][32][33]
The iPhone 5 features a four-inch screen with a resolution of 1136 x 640 pixels. The pixel density remains the same
as the 4S model, which is 326 pixels per inch. Now, the matrix icons appear as a column 4 of 6 icons, including
those located at the bottom. This gives an extra row of icons on the desktop. In-cell touch sensor technology from
Sharp allows the screen to be thinner, allowing for a thinner phone. The screen's color saturation is 44% greater than
its predecessor.[34]
While not included in Apple's press conference announcement on September 12, 2012, there are actually three
separate models of the phone available: one supporting CDMA and two GSM versions that differ only by the LTE
bands they support.[35] This can have knock-on effects for which version of the device will actually work in which
countries/regions.

Apple Lightning Connector
The iPhone 5, as well as the iPod Touch (5th generation), and iPod
Nano (7th generation), feature a new dock connector named Lightning,
Apple Lightning connector which replaces the 30-pin Apple Dock connector introduced in 2003
by Apple on the iPod (3rd generation). The Apple Lightning connector
has eight pins and all signaling is digital. This new connector is smaller than the previous one, helping the iPhone 5
to be slimmer than its predecessors. Apple Lightning cables have duplicate pins on two sides of each plug, so it can
be inserted either way round. Various accessories will be available to convert the Apple Lightning connector to the

iPhone 5 6

older 30-pin Apple Dock connector or USB,[36] although not all old accessories will work, as not all signals are
available, in particular video output and the iPod Out feature for BMW automobiles.[37][38][39]

Reception

Critical reception
The iPhone 5 received favorable reviews from commentators and reviewers. Tim Stevens from Engadget praised the
iPhone 5 for its high resolution screen as it surpasses the screen of the iPhone 4S which he says is already one of the
best phone screens available on the market. Stevens however was critical of the introduction of the new dock
connector, which is not compatible with numerous gadgets that use the connector and cable supplied with the iPad
and previous generation iPhones. The review also states that Apple fulfills most of the promises that were stated on
their website such as "better battery performance", "two times the graphics performance" and "two times faster."[8]
David Pogue of The New York Times called the 4-inch Retina display a "nice but not life-changing change", and
praised the Lighting connector for its size, sturdiness, and reversibility, but criticized it because of its lack of support
for older accessories. He added "Apple has a long history of killing off technologies, inconveniently and
expensively, that the public had come to love—even those that Apple had originally developed and promoted.
Somehow, life goes on, and Apple gets even bigger."[40]
Many reviewers and commentators were critical of the new Maps app released with iOS 6 as it is reported to contain
many errors such as the misplacing of landmark tags, directing users to incorrect locations and poor satellite
images.[41] The application itself is also reported to be difficult to use.[42][43] Additionally, the Swiss Federal
Railways have accused Apple of copying without permission its iconic Swiss railway clock design for one of the iOS
6's new features, an integrated clock function.[9][10]
"People have always had lofty expectations for the iPhone 5, especially as the competition stiffens. In delivering a
fast, attractive, LTE-capable and larger-screen handset, Apple has met those expectations with a gem," writes Ed
Baig of USA Today.[44]

Commercial reception
JP Morgan's chief economist, Michael Ferol said that "sales of iPhone 5 could boost annualized U.S. GDP growth by
$3.2 billion, or $12.8 billion at an annual rate."[45]
Techcrunch reported that the iPhone 5 sold out twenty times faster than the 4 and 4S models. Apple said that they
were "blown away by the customer response".[46] Phil Schiller, Apple's vice-president of worldwide marketing, said
that over two million iPhone 5 orders had been received in the first 24 hours.[47] AT&T said that the iPhone 5 was
the fastest-selling iPhone the company had ever offered.[48]

LTE reception and usability
AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint will offer LTE access in the US,[49] while in the UK, only Everything Everywhere (EE)
will be able to offer LTE access.[50] All carriers in Canada selling the iPhone 5 have their own LTE networks which
include Rogers Wireless, Fido Solutions, Bell Mobility, Virgin Mobile Canada and Telus Mobility.[51] The only
carrier with no LTE network is Koodo however testing of its prospective network is currently underway.[52]
42 officially recognized bands exist for LTE, however rollouts are coalescing around the more-popular bands by
region, based on what historically has been made available. In Europe, that means 2.6 GHz (the 3G-expansion band)
and 800 MHz (cleared of analogue TV), with 1,800 MHz appearing in a few places including the UK. In Germany
only T-Mobile network with LTE 1.8 GHz band will be supported and will not work in the whole country.[53][54]
Some countries in Europe — including Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, and others — will not be able to offer
iPhone 5 LTE connectivity to their customers on their current LTE networks, as they have already deployed LTE in

iPhone 5 7

the 2.6 GHz band, which the iPhone 5 does not support.[55]
Unlike the iPhone 4S, which was the only "world phone" produced by Apple, there are three versions of the iPhone 5
with regard to frequency and technology use. All three work on 2G GSM/GPRS and 3G UMTS/EDGE networks on
both the 800 and 1900MHz bands used in the Americas, and the 900 and 1800MHz bands used elsewhere. One
version also works on CDMA networks, such as Sprint and Verizon. Another has LTE only on the 2100MHz AWS
band, and the 700MHz band recovered after the forced conversion to digital television in the United States (channels
52 to 56), and so LTE is only usable on AT&T. A third works on several other LTE bands in other countries.

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
additional software features, expanded hardware, and a redesigned physique. It employs an intelligent personal
assistant (S Voice), eye-tracking ability, increased storage, and a wireless charging option. Depending on country,
the 4.8-inch (120 mm) smartphone comes with different processors and RAM capacity, and 4G LTE support.[10] The
S III was launched with Android version 4.0, "Ice Cream Sandwich", and will be upgraded to version 4.1, "Jelly
Bean", in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Following an eighteen-month development phase, Samsung unveiled the S III on 3 May 2012 in London.[11] 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.[12] The S III was released by approximately 300 carriers in nearly 150 countries at the end of July
2012.[6] More than 20 million units of the S III were shipped within the first 100 days of release.[7]
Due to overwhelming demand and a manufacturing flaw in the blue version of the phone,[13] 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".[14] The S III played a major role in
boosting Samsung's record operating profit during the second quarter of 2012.[15] As of September 2012, the Galaxy
S III is a subject of a high-profile lawsuit between Samsung and Apple.

History

Design phase
Design work on the S III started in late 2010 under the supervision of Chang Dong-hoon, Samsung's Vice President
and Head of the Design Group of Samsung Electronics. From the start, the design group concentrated on a trend
which Samsung dubs "organic", which suggests that a prospective design should reflect natural elements such as the
flow of water and wind.[16] Some of the results of this design were the curved outline of the phone and its home
screen's "Water Lux" effect, where taps and slides produce water ripples.[16]
Throughout the eighteen-month design process, Samsung implemented stringent security measures and procedures to
maintain secrecy of the eventual design until its launch. Designers worked on three prototypes concurrently while
regarding each of them as the final product. Doing so required a constant duplication of effort as they had to repeat
the same process for all three prototypes.[17][18] The prototypes, taking photos of which were forbidden, were locked
in a separate lab accessible only by core designers; the company's employees transported them instead of third-party
couriers.[18][19] "Because we were only permitted to see the products and others weren't," explained Principal
Engineer Lee Byung-Joon, "we couldn't send pictures or drawings. We had to explain the Galaxy S III with all sorts
of words."[20] Despite such security measures, specifications of one of the three units were leaked by Vietnamese
website Tinhte, although it was not the selected design.[21][22]
Speculation in the general public and media outlets regarding the handset's specifications began gathering
momentum several months before its formal unveiling in May 2012. In February 2012, prior to the Mobile World
Congress in Barcelona, Spain, there were rumours that the handset would incorporate a 1.5 GHz quad-core
processor, a display of 1080p (1,920×1,080 pixels) resolution, a 12-megapixel rear camera and a HD Super
AMOLED Plus touchscreen.[23][24] More accurate rumoured specifications included 2 GB of RAM, 64 GB of
internal storage, 4G LTE, a 4.8-inch (120 mm) screen, a 8-megapixel rear camera, and a 9-millimetre (0.35 in) thick
chassis.[23][24] Samsung confirmed the existence of the Galaxy S II's successor on 5 March 2012, but it was not until
late April 2012 that Samsung's Senior Vice-President Robert Yi confirmed the phone's name to be "Samsung Galaxy
S III".[25][26]


Unveiling
After inviting reporters in mid-April, Samsung launched the Galaxy S
III during the Samsung Mobile Unpacked 2012 event at Earls Court
Exhibition Centre, London, on 3 May 2012, instead of unveiling their
products earlier in the year during either the World Mobile Congress or
Consumer Electronics Show.[11][27] One explanation for this decision
is that Samsung wanted to minimize the time between its launch and
availability.[28] The keynote address of the hour-long event was
delivered by Loesje De Vriese, marketing director of Samsung
Belgium.[29]
The Galaxy S III was launched at Samsung
Mobile Unpacked 2012 (3 May 2012)

Litigation
On 5 June 2012, Apple filed for preliminary injunctions in the United States District Court for the Northern District
of California against Samsung Electronics, claiming the Galaxy S III had violated at least two of the company's
patents. Apple requested that the court include the phone in its existing legal battle against Samsung (see Apple Inc.
v. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.), referred to in the media as Apple's "patent war,"[30] and ban sales of the S III prior
to its scheduled 21 June 2012 U.S. launch.[31] Apple claimed the alleged infringements would "cause immediate and
irreparable harm" to its commercial interest.[30] Samsung responded by declaring it would "vigorously oppose the
request and demonstrate to the court that the Galaxy S3 [sic] is innovative and distinctive", and reassured the public
that the 21 June release would proceed as planned.[30] On 11 June, Judge Lucy Koh said that Apple's claim would
overload her work schedule, as she would also be overseeing the trial of Samsung's other devices; consequently,
Apple dropped its request to block the 21 June release of the S III.[32]
In mid-July 2012, Samsung removed the universal search feature on Sprint and AT&T Galaxy S III phones with
over-the-air (OTA) software updates to disable the local search function as a "precautionary measure" prior to its
patent court trial with Apple, which began on 30 July 2012.[33] Although Apple won the trial, the S III experienced a
sales spike due to the public's belief that the phone would be banned.[34] On 31 August 2012, Apple asked the same
federal court to add the Galaxy S III and the Galaxy Note into its existing complaint, believing these products have
violated its patents; Samsung countered with the statement: "Apple continues to resort to litigation over market
competition in an effort to limit consumer choice."[35]

Features

Software and services
Further information: Android (operating system), TouchWiz, and S Voice
The Galaxy S III uses Google's Android mobile operating system, which was introduced commercially in 2008.[36]
Its TouchWiz "Nature UX" graphical user interface (GUI)—which is influenced by the "organic" customer trend—is
more interactive than Samsung's previous GUIs, with the notable addition of the "Water Lux" effect, which produces
ripples upon contact.[16] To complement the TouchWiz interface, and as a response to Apple's Siri, the phone
introduces S Voice, Samsung's intelligent personal assistant. S Voice can recognise eight languages including
English, Korean and French.[37] Based on Vlingo, S Voice enables the user to verbally control 20 functions such as
playing a song, setting the alarm, or activating driving mode; it relies on Wolfram Alpha for online searches.[38]
The S III comes with Android version 4.0.4, officially named "Ice Cream Sandwich", which became commercially
available in March 2012 with the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus.[39] Ice Cream Sandwich has a refined user interface,


expanded camera capabilities, security features and connectivity.[40]
In mid-June 2012, Google unveiled Android 4.1 "Jelly Bean", which employs Google Now, a voice-assistant similar
to S Voice, and incorporates other software changes. Samsung accommodated Jelly Bean in the S III by making
last-minute hardware changes to the phone in some markets.[41] In September 2012, Samsung confirmed that Jelly
Bean would start rolling out to the S III in October 2012.[42]
The S III comes with a multitude of pre-installed applications including standard Android ones such as YouTube,
Google+, Voice Search, Google Play, Gmail, Map, and Calendar, in addition to Samsung-specific apps such as
ChatON, Game Hub, Video Hub, Social Hub and Navigation.[43][44] To address the fact that iPhone users are
reluctant to switch to Android because the OS is not compatible with iTunes, from June 2012 Samsung offers
customers of its Galaxy series the Easy Phone Sync app to enable the transfer of music, photos, videos, podcasts and
text messages from an iPhone to a Galaxy device.[45] The user is able to access Google Play, a digital-distribution
multimedia-content service exclusive to Android, to download applications, movies, music, TV programmes, games,
books and magazines.[46]
Apart from S Voice, Samsung has directed the bulk of the S III's marketing campaign towards the device's "smart"
features, which facilitate improved human-device interactivity. These features include: "Direct Call", or the handset's
ability to recognise when a user wants to talk to somebody instead of messaging them, if they bring the phone to
their head; "Social Tag", a function that identifies and tags people in a photo and shares photos with them; and "Pop
Up Play", which allows a video and other applications to occupy the screen at the same time.[47] In addition, the S III
can beam its screen to a TV or be used as a remote controller (AllShare Cast and Play) and share photos with people
who are tagged in them (Buddy Photo Share).[47] Other software features include Smart Alerts, Smart Stay, and S
Beam.[47]
The S III can access and play traditional media formats such as music, movies, TV programmes, audiobooks, and
podcasts, and can sort its media library alphabetically by song title, artist, album, playlist, folder, and genre. One
notable feature of the S III's music player is Music Square, which analyses a song's intensity and ranks the song by
mood so that the user can play songs according to their current emotional state.[48] With the release of the S III,
Samsung debuted its proprietary music management and download application called "Music Hub", designed to
compete with Apple's iTunes, iCloud, and iTunes Match services. Music Hub's music catalogue contains over
19 million songs.[49]
The S III was the first smartphone to support Voice Over LTE with the introduction of HD Voice service in South
Korea.[50] The phone enables video calling with its 1.9 MP front-facing camera, and with support for the apt-X
codec, improves Bluetooth-headset connectivity.[51] Texting on the S III does not embody any new significant
features from the S II. Speech-to-text is aided by the Vlingo and Google's voice-recognition assistant. Not unlike
other Android devices, there are a multitude of third-party typing applications available that could complement the S
III's stock keyboard.[52]
On 18 June 2012, Samsung announced that the S III would have a version with enterprise software under the
company's Samsung Approved For Enterprise (SAFE) programme, an initiative that facilitates the use of private
Android devices by professional employees, also known as "Bring Your Own Device".[53] The enterprise S III
version would support AES-256 bit encryption, VPN and Mobile Device Management functionality, and Microsoft
Exchange ActiveSync.[54] It was scheduled to be released in the U.S. in July 2012. The enterprise version was
expected to penetrate the business market dominated by Research in Motion's BlackBerry, following the release of
similar enterprise versions of the Galaxy Note, Galaxy S II and the Galaxy Tab line of tablet computers.[54][55]
A separate "Developer Edition" of the S III was made available from Samsung's Developer Portal. It came with an
unlockable bootloader to allow the user to modify the phone's software.[56]


Hardware and design
The Galaxy S III has a polycarbonate plastic chassis measuring
136.6 mm (5.38 in) long, 70.7 mm (2.78 in) wide, and 8.6 mm
(0.34 in) thick, with the device weighing 133 grams (4.7 oz).
Samsung abandoned the rectangular design of the Galaxy S and
Galaxy S II, and instead incorporated round corners and curved
edges, reminiscent of the Galaxy Nexus.[57] The phone is available
in two basic color options: "Marble White" and "Pebble Blue";
however, "Pebble Blue" has reportedly been altered to a metallic
blue-grey shade.[58] A "Garnet Red" model was made available
exclusively to U.S. carrier AT&T from 15 July 2012.[59] "Sapphire
Black", "Titanium Gray" and "Amber Brown" will also be
available.[60]

The S III comes in two distinct variations that differ primarily in
the internal hardware. The international S III version has
Samsung's Exynos 4 Quad system on a chip (SoC) containing a
1.4 GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 central processing unit (CPU)
The Galaxy Nexus (left) and the Galaxy S III and an ARM Mali-400 MP graphics processing unit (GPU).[61]
According to Samsung, the Exynos 4 Quad doubles the
performance of the Exynos 4 Dual used on the S II, while using 20 percent less power.[62] Samsung had also released
several 4G LTE versions—4G facilitates higher-speed mobile connection compared to 3G—in selected countries to
exploit the corresponding communications infrastructures that exist in those markets.[63] Most of these versions use
Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 SoC featuring a dual-core 1.5 GHz Krait CPU and an Adreno 225 GPU.[64] The South
Korean and Australia versions are a hybrid of the international and 4G-capable versions.[65]

The S III has a maximum of 2 GB of RAM, depending on model.[63] The phone comes with either 16 or 32 GB of
internal storage, with a 64 GB version to be available internationally; additionally, microSDXC storage offers a
further 64 GB for a potential total of 128 GB.[66] Moreover, 50 GB of space is offered for two years on Dropbox—a
cloud storage service—for purchasers of the device, doubling rival HTC's 25 GB storage for the same duration.[48]
The S III's HD Super AMOLED display measures 4.8 inches (120 mm) on the diagonal, making it Samsung's third
largest phone display, only exceeded by the Galaxy Note's 5.3 inches (130 mm) and the Galaxy Note II's 5.5 inches
(140 mm).[67] With a 1,280×720-pixel (720p) resolution, its pixel per inch (PPI, a measure of pixel density) is a
relatively high 306,[66] which is accommodate by the removal one of the three subpixels—red, green and blue—in
each pixel to create a PenTile matrix-display; consequently, it does not share the "Plus" suffix found on the S II's
Super AMOLED Plus display.[68] The glass used for the display is the damage-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass 2.[57]


The S III has an 8-megapixel camera similar to that of the Galaxy S II. It can take
3,264×2,448 resolution photos and record videos in 1,920×1,080-pixel (1080p)
resolution. Samsung improved the camera's software over that of its predecessor
to include zero shutter lag, and Burst Mode and Best Shot, which work together
to quickly take numerous photos before the best-judged frame is selected.[69] The
phone can also take pictures while recording videos.[68] The rear-facing camera
is complemented by a 1.9-megapixel front-facing camera that can record 720p
videos.[69]

In addition to the 4.8-inch (120 mm) touchscreen, the S III has several physical
user inputs including a home button located below the screen, a volume key on
the left side and a power/lock key on the right.[44] At the top there is a
3.5-millimetre (0.14 in) TRRS headphone jack and one of the two microphones Back view of the Japanese S III
[44] model, SC-06D
on the S III; the other is located below the home button. The S III is
advertised as having an MHL port that can be used both as a micro-USB
On-The-Go port, and for connecting the phone to HDMI devices. However, a retailer later discovered that Samsung
had made a modification to the electronics of the port such that only the adapter made specifically for this model by
Samsung could be used.[70]

The S III's li-ion 2,100 mAh battery is said to have a 790-hour standby time when using 3G (900 hours in 2G) and
11 hours of talk time in 3G (21 hours in 2G).[43] Built into the battery is near field communication connectivity,
which allows users to share map directions and YouTube videos quickly using Wi-Fi Direct (through Android
Beam), and perform non-touch payments at shops that employ specially-equipped NFC cash registers.[71] To help
minimize battery consumption, Samsung has introduced "Smart Stay", an ability to track a user's eyes and turn off
whenever the person is not looking at it.[38] The battery can be wirelessly charged using a special charging pad (sold
separately) that utilizes magnetic resonance to produce a magnetic field through which electricity could be
transferred.[72]
CNET TV torture -tested an S III by cooling it to 24 °F (−4 °C), placing it in a heat-proof box and heating it to 190
°F (88 °C), and submerging it in water—the S III survived all three tests. The phone also did not exhibit any
scratches when a key was repeatedly scraped against the display.[73]

Model variants
On 16 May 2012, NTT DoCoMo announced that they would sell an LTE model of the S III, using a Qualcomm
Snapdragon MSM8960 SoC with an integrated on-die LTE-modem.[74] On 30 May 2012, several Canadian carriers
announced that they also would sell an LTE model of the S III with the model number SGH-i747 and the same
specifications as the one for NTT DoCoMo.[75] Within a week, on 4 June 2012, T-Mobile USA and AT&T[76]
announced that they would sell the same versions of the S III as the Canadian carriers announced on 30 May.
Verizon, Sprint and U.S. Cellular sell a similar version with CDMA support. Thus the design and name of the
Galaxy S III for North America is retained from the international version, marking a deviation from the previous
customization of design and name for different carriers of the previous Galaxy S models.[77]
The South Korean LTE models—considered the ultimate Galaxy S III model[78]—share the 4G LTE support and
2 GB of RAM of the North American and Japanese versions, but come with the international version's Samsung
Exynos 4 Quad SoC, in addition to the T-DMB module and antenna; this compelled Samsung to increase the model's
thickness to 9 millimetres (0.35 in).[65] A similar quad-core 4G LTE version of the S III is to be released in
Australia.[79]

Release and reception

Commercial
According to an anonymous Samsung official speaking to the Korea Economic Daily, the S III received more than
9 million pre-orders from 100 carriers during the two weeks following its London unveiling, making it the
fastest-selling gadget in history.[89] In comparison, the iPhone 4S received 4 million pre-orders prior to its launch,[90]
while Samsung's previous flagship phone, the S II, had 10 million handsets shipped within five months; Samsung has


since sold more than 20 million handsets. Within a month of the London unveiling, auction and shopping website
eBay noted a 119-percent increase in second-hand Android phone sales. According to an eBay spokesperson, this
was "the first time anything other than an Apple product has sparked such a selling frenzy."[91]

The S III was released in 28 countries in Europe and the Middle East on 29 May 2012.[92] To showcase its flagship
device, Samsung afterwards embarked on a global month-long tour of the S III to nine cities, including Sydney, New
Delhi, and cities in China, Japan, South Korea and the US.[93]
The S III has helped Samsung consolidate its market share in several countries including India, where Samsung
expected to capture 60 percent of the country's smartphone market, improving on its previous 46 percent.[94] Within
a month of release, Samsung had a 60-percent market share in France, while the company controlled over 50 percent
of the German and Italian smartphone markets.[95] Over a similar period the S III helped increase Samsung's market
share in the United Kingdom to over 40 percent, while eroding the iPhone 4S's 25 percent to 20 percent in the
country.[96] The S III was scheduled to be released in North America on 20 June 2012, but due to high demand,
some U.S. and Canadian carriers delayed the release by several days, while some other carriers limited the market at
launch.[97] The S III's U.S. launch event took place in New York City, hosted by Twilight actress Ashley Greene and
attended by dubstep artist Skrillex, who performed at Skylight Studios.[98]
Samsung estimated that by the end of July 2012, the S III would have been released by 296 carriers in 145
countries,[6] and that more than 10 million handsets would have been sold.[99] Shin Jong-kyun, president of
Samsung's mobile communications sector, announced on 22 July that sales had exceeded 10 million.[100] According
to an assessment by Swiss financial services company UBS, Samsung had shipped 5–6 million units of the phone in
the second quarter of 2012 and will ship 10–12 million handsets per quarter throughout the rest of the year. An even
more aggressive prediction by Paris-based banking group BNP Paribas says 15 million units will be shipped in the
third quarter of 2012,[101] while Japanese financial consultant company Nomura places the figure for this quarter as
high as 18 million.[102] Sales of the S III may top 40 million by the end of the year.[103] To meet demand, Samsung
has hired 75,000 workers, and its South Korean factory is running at its peak capacity of 5 million smartphone units
per month.[89][104]
A manufacturing flaw resulted in a large portion of the new smartphones having irregularities with the
"hyper-glazing" process. The mistake caused an undesirable finish on the blue back covers and resulted in the
disposal of up to 600,000 plastic casings and a shortage of the blue model.[13] The issue was later resolved; however,
Reuters estimated that the shortage had cost Samsung two million S III sales during its first month of release.[105]
On 6 September 2012, Samsung revealed that sales of the S III had reached 20 million in 100 days, making it three
and six times faster-selling than the Galaxy S II and the Galaxy S, respectively. Europe accounted for more than 25


percent of this figure with 6 million units, followed by Asia (4.5 million) and the U.S. (4 million); sales in South
Korea, the S III's home market, numbered 2.5 million.[7] Around the same time of Samsung's announcement, sales of
the S III surpassed that of the iPhone 4S in the U.S.[106]

Criticism
Reception to the Galaxy S III had been particularly positive. Critics noted
the phone's blend of features, such as its S Voice application, display,
processing speed, and dimensions as having an edge over its competition,
the Apple iPhone 4S and HTC One X.[57][68] Vlad Savov of The Verge
declared it a "technological triumph",[108] while Natasha Lomas of CNET
UK lauded the phone's "impossibly slim and light casing and a quad-core
engine", calling it the "Ferrari of Android phones",[68] a sentiment
affirmed ("a prince among Android phones") by Dave Oliver of Wired
UK and ("king of Android") Esat Dedezade of Stuff magazine.[109][110]
Gareth Beavis of TechRadar noted that the S III is "all about faster,
smarter and being more minimal than ever before while keeping the spec Technology commentator David Pogue
declared the phone "the crème de la Android",
list at the bleeding edge of technology."[111] Matt Warman of The Daily
lauding its display size, design, and
Telegraph said, "On spending just a short time with the S3, I'm confident customizability, although he noted the lack of
in saying that it's a worthy successor to the globally popular S2".[112] integration with an entertainment
[107]
"ecosystem".
Upon release, a number of critics and publications have made references
to the S III, Samsung's 2012 flagship phone,[113] as an "iPhone killer",[14] responding perhaps to Apple's favourable
customer perception. [114] The label owes itself to the S III's use of the Android OS—the chief rival of Apple's
iOS—as well as its design and features that rival the iPhone 4S such as Smart Stay, a large display, a quad-core
processor, Android customizability, and a multitude of connectivity options.[115]
The S III was the first Android phone to have a higher launch price than the iPhone 4S when the Apple product was
released in 2011.[116] With the S III, Tim Weber, business editor of the BBC, observed, "With the new Galaxy S3
they [Samsung] have clearly managed to move to the front of the smartphone field, ahead of mighty Apple itself."[92]
Conversely, reviewers have opined on the design and feel of phone, calling its polycarbonate shell "cheap"[117] and
having a "slippery feel".[111] The S Voice was described as "not optimised" and "more rigid than Siri" with its poor
voice-recognition accuracy, with instances when it would not respond at all.[118][111] Another usage problem was a
microphone malfunction that resulted in difficulty communicating during a call.[119] Reviewers have noted the
somewhat abrupt auto-adjustment of display brightness, which tends to under-illuminate the screen[120] and its
inferior camera compared to that of the HTC One X; however, it has twice the battery life compared to the HTC
handset, achieved partly through the dim display.[121][122] Others say the numerous pre-installed apps make the S III
feel "bloated".[123][124]
On September 19, 2012, security researchers demonstrated during Pwn2Own, a computer hacking contest, that the S
III can be hacked via NFC, allowing attackers to download all data from the phone; the event contest was held in
Amsterdam, Netherlands.[125]
uSwitch, a UK-based price comparison and switching website, had ranked the S III as the most popular phone on its
website in March 2012.[126]
In late-July 2012 TechRadar ranked it as the No. 1 handset in its constantly-updated list of the 20 best mobile
phones;[127] Stuff magazine also ranked it at No. 1 in its list of 10 best smartphones in May 2012.[128] The Galaxy S
III won an award from the European Imaging and Sound Association under the category of "European Mobile
Phone" of 2012–2013.[129]
