Why Galaxy SIII would be bad investment?


Finally the newest brand of Samsung arrived. The new Samsung Galaxy SIII has good chances to be the smartphone of the year. But is it worth for you to upgrade your dual core smartphone?

Samsung Galaxy SIII has plastic body which is big minus, but it's lighter then its competitors. It has 4.8 inch Super AMOLED display with 306 ppi (pixels per inch). The Exynos 4 Quad ARM Cortex-A9 processor works at 1.4 GHz speed, that pretty good but it's very battery consuming when it works with full speed and plenty of applications don't really need quad core processor to work. Ice Cream Sandwich is the starting OS for this devices with an option for upgrades in the following two years to newest android releases. It's UI is armed with Samsung's TouchWiz. The 8-megapixel camera makes the possibility of recording HD video. There is not progress in the area of RAM, where it stays on 1GB.

If you are upgrading from iPhone 4s or Galaxy SII, really the quad core processor is not worthy to invest plus 200$ for Galaxy SIII. Maybe it would be better to wait little for iPhone 5 to appear on the market and then to get your new smartphone.
