S3 vs S2

Hey guys, Dom here providing a review on one of the greatest gadgets on the market competing with the iPhone 5, compared to its previous model the S2.

The Design:
With a large 4.8-inch HD screen, compared to its previous model the S2's 4.3-inch, the model becomes noticeably larger, yet still manageable in use, feeling light, slim and personally is still possible to navigate and function one handed. 

The rounded edges of the model although do not cater to all, personally enhance the comfortability in hand compared to the S2, especially after a long period of time in use and with It's polycarbonate rather than bog-standard plastic strays away from a cheap plastic feel to a sophisticated smartphone experience.

Finally, the instalment of the power/standby switch locating itself on the side of the phone allows for a more fluent action when needed, contradicting its accusations of being a highly non-functional large model.


What's New:
Although there are many differences between the two models, only a few make a difference to the majority of the smart phone users.

Personally, a noticable improvement from the S2 is the size and resolution of the screen.
S2 could produce 800 x 480 pixels in resolution where as the new S3 produces 1280 x 720 pixels enhancing my whole experience and use with the phone overall.

Additionally, the new and improved android 4.0 operating instalment outclasses its previous version on the S2 with a noticeable improvement when being familiar with both models. It feels new and improved with noticeably less bugs and force close errors which become frustrating and distasteful.

New camera features include Auto focus, Digital zoom, and image stabilization which personally made photographing a more fluent and simple process. The ability to snap photos faster and simpler enhances the process and my experience using the phone.

Battery life plays a big role in my opinion for a phone. The S3 has enhanced their battery capicity from 1650 mAh to a staggering 2100 mAh, which allows for 180 additional hours in standby and 13 additional hours talk time which is amazing because lets face it, who enjoys charging their phone at midday.

Finally, my personal favourite improvement from the S2 is the technical specifications. The S3 technical specs have outdone all my personal expectations due to the following:
  • 1.40 GHz CPU speed
  • Quad Core Processor
  • 2048 RAM
These advancements blow the S2 out of the picture doubling almost all of its tech specs.



Overall, the S3 is an amazing smart phone and is definitely worth the purchase as the specifications not only speak for them self but after having a hands on feel of the phones functionality you will understand the hype.
