Offered in a variety of colors, that handset hit the AT&T 4G LTE network on June 22 of 2012. With a slim profile, powerful dual core processor, simultaneous HD video and image capture and large high-resolution display, globally the Samsung Galaxy S III was arguably the hottest phone of 2012.

The Samsung Galaxy S III is available for a reduced price now starting at $99.99.

Samsung has added their TouchWiz UX user interface that accepts capacitive, multitouch gestures and meshes with Jelly Bean 4.1, and the slim at 0.34 inch (8.6 mm) profile is one of the thinnest found on any smartphone. The hallmark of the Jelly Bean 4.1 OS is improved overall speed and a smoother user experience. Camera operations have been improved, the Google Now contextual search engine and virtual personal assistant has been upgraded, as have other important areas.

The handset’s display is large at 4.80 inches, and display resolution runs high at 720 x 1,280 pixels. 16 million separate colors are delivered at a rate of 306 pixels per inch, and the built-in light and proximity sensors automatically dim the display after periods of nonuse, as well as automatically adjust for the proper brightness levels. A layer of Corning Gorilla Glass offers scratch resistance.

These 2 functions also help preserve battery power, which assists the handset’s 2,100 mA battery in delivering 8.0 hours of talk time from a single charge. Standby battery power lasts approximately 8.3 days, and the hardware package is home to a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960 microchip suite. At its core is a dual core 1.5 GHz CPU, and an Adreno 225 GPU focuses exclusively on graphics processing. The AT&T Galaxy S III delivers a full 2.0 GB of RAM system memory, and the onboard microSD slot is available for storage expansion and offboard data access.

High resolution video capture runs 1,080P HD on the rear facing 8.0 megapixel camcorder, with a front facing 1.9 megapixel chat cam also present.
