The Sprint Galaxy S III 4G Android smartphone has been promised an over the air upgrade to the Android 4.1 operating system Jelly Bean, but as is usually the case, neither Sprint nor Google are giving any hard delivery dates. However, one good sign on the Jelly Bean front is the recent unofficial Jelly Bean ROM that has been leaked for the handset. Installing unofficial ROM updates voids your handset warranty and could brick your smartphone, but the unofficial software was recently leaked nonetheless. Unofficial OS updates generally precede the official version, so this is a good sign for Sprint Galaxy S III handset owners.
The Samsung Galaxy S III for Sprint is on sale now starting at 99.99.
Originally appearing in the United States exclusive to the 4G LTE AT&T wireless network, the Galaxy S III recently made its way over to the brand-new 4G LTE system of Sprint. Sprint recently announced that 100 major Metropolitan areas will be added to their virginal 4G LTE platform in the United States, and the Galaxy S III brings a large high-resolution screen, powerful dual core processor and Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) 4.0 operating system to that network.
The handset also delivers a few enhanced features for the Sprint network, and they center around primarily sharing data and information with your friends and contacts. The Android Beam data share app gets its own customization for the Galaxy S III, and is named the Android S Beam. This application gives you the ability to share and trade videos, photos, documents and other data wirelessly by placing two Galaxy S III phones back-to-back. Files as large as one gigabyte of video are transferred in less than 3 minutes, and you do not require a Wi-Fi connection or cellular signal to access this feature for your Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III.
The Buddy Photo Share application allows you to share photographs as soon as you collect them, and actually recognizes the faces of your friends. Whenever you snap a photo of one of your friends or contacts you designate, that image is instantly shared with them as well as any other contacts you choose. Think of taking a single photograph at a party, and that photo is instantly sent to everyone of your friends and party goers. the handset also delivers an AllShare Play application to the Sprint 4G LTE network, sending data, files and documents from your handset to a desktop or tablet PC, HDTV or laptop.
The Sprint Galaxy S III is slim at only 0.34 inches (8.6 mm), and the 4.8 inch Super AMOLED display is one of the largest found on any handset. The 720 x 1,280 pixel resolution on the display is one of the highest found in the entire mobile marketplace, and the handset is one of the first to deliver a full 2.0 GB of RAM system memory. The handset is powered by a dual core 1.5 GHz CPU, and 1,080P HD resolution video is captured by the rear facing 8.0 megapixel camcorder, also allowing for simultaneous HD image and video capture.
