Samsung Electronics has unveiled its third generation NFC-enabled Galaxy S handset, the Galaxy S III.
Powered by Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, the Galaxy S III features a 4.8 inch HD Super AMOLED display, 8MP camera, 1.4 Ghz quad-core chip and 16 GB of internal memory. The device also features an NFC chip for making mobile payments and peer-to-peer data transfers via “S Beam,” a supped up version of Android Beam.
According to Samsung, S Beam enables a 1GB movie file to be shared within three minutes and a 10MB music file within two seconds by simply touching another Galaxy S III phone, even without a Wi-Fi or cell signal.
Billed as being “designed for humans and inspired by nature,” the Galaxy S III also debuts “S Voice,” Samsung’s new voice command user interface. According to Samsung, S Voice enables information search and basic device-user communication, like telling your phone to play a certain song, send a text message, take a photo or even ordering it to “snooze” when the alarm goes off.
The phone is set to debut in Europe on May 29 before heading to the U.S. this summer.
