Unless you have been hiding under a rock for the last year, or simply do not keep informed of the mobile handset marketplace, you definitely know about the global popularity of the Galaxy S III smartphone. The handset has helped Samsung pass Apple as the worldwide leader in smartphone shipments, while simultaneously boosting that Korean consumer electronics manufacturer to record profits in their mobile division. The Jelly Bean powered handset also boasts a one penny on contract price tag heading into the important summer shopping season.

With the Galaxy S4 already breaking sales records that were set by the Galaxy S III, as well as the HTC One entering the mobile marketplace, surprisingly, Galaxy S III smartphone sales are still incredibly high. The handset is a flagship of the Sprint 4G LTE network in the United States, a system which comprises more than 58 major markets. The slim 0.34 (8.6 mm) profile and light 4.70 pounds (133 g) weight belie one of the largest high resolution screens on any smartphone.
The Super AMOLED display in question runs 4.80 inches, and is protected against your everyday abuse by a scratch resistant layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 2. Pixel density runs high at 306 pixels per inch, spreading 16 million colors across the screen for a True HD resolution of 720 by 1,280 pixels. The handset supports standard capacitive, multitouch gestures, while special light and proximity sensors automatically dim the display and adjust the screen brightness to help conserve battery power.
This leads to an above average talk time of 9.20 hours from a single charge of the 2,100 mA battery on board the handset. The 16 GB Sprint Galaxy S III 4G Android smartphone handles graphics with an Adreno 225 GPU, and a dual core 1.5 GHz Krait central processor is the cornerstone of the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960 system chip which runs the phone. The hardware profile also includes a microSD slot for storage expansion, and a generous 2.0 GB of RAM system memory.
A 32 GB model is also offered, and both that and the 16 GB variant offer a rear facing 8.0 megapixel camcorder. That rear snapper provides video capture at 1,080P HD resolution, also allowing for simultaneous image and video capture in high definition. A front facing chat cam with a 1.9 megapixel sensor is also on board, providing video and Skype call support. The 16 GB Galaxy S III for Sprint provides a built-in YouTube video player and music player with custom and preset equalizers, also offering instant out-of-the-box access to Facebook, Twitter and Picasa applications.
