Samsung has been very successful with its Galaxy S series since it launched the first Galaxy S back in June 2010. The year passed and then we saw a successor. The Galaxy S II, which made history as it sold millions of units, went on to receive the smartphone of the year by the GSMA for 2011 and is still selling pretty well.
Samsung’s mobile division has been vastly affected by the Galaxy S and the S II as the devices have been one the top selling smartphones for the company globally.
Now we have the S III, laden with a quad-core processor, an HD Super AMOLED display, nice curvy design, and some new feature for a better and natural interaction with the smartphone. It is but an obvious and a promising upgrade and it should continue the legacy. We predict that the S III will be selling a lot faster and quicker than S II as the smartphone market has been running on a fast pace. So let’s see what’s new with the S III, when we compare it to its predecessors.
