Samsung has partnered with Telstra and Optus to launch a brand new 4G Samsung Galaxy SIII.The new device which will be powered by Android 4.1 Jelly Bean includes a 4.8 inch HD Super AMOLED display for high-resolution video, web browsing and gaming.
The Galaxy S III 4G will be available in Onyx Black and Titanium Gray on the Telstra 4G and Titanium Gray on the Optus 4G Network.
The ultra-fast 4G quad-core powered Samsung smartphone could get banned if Apple is successful in their pursuit of Samsung.
Andrew Volard, Director, Telstra Mobile, said “Our customers have been hanging out for the arrival of the GALAXY S III 4G”
“The 4G speed boost will make it faster and easier for people to stream music and video, surf the web and use video chat to connect with their friends claims carriers.
Equipped with an 8MP camera and a 1.9MP front facing camera, the device offers a variety of intuitive camera features, including smart interaction features designed to detect your face, voice and motions for a unique user experience.
The Galaxy S III 4G also features ‘S Voice’ 2, an advanced language user interface, designed to listen and respond to your words. When your phone alarm goes off but you need a little extra rest, just tell the Galaxy S III 4G “snooze”. You can also use ‘S Voice’ to play your favourite songs, turn the volume up or down, send text messages and emails, organise your schedule, or automatically launch the camera and capture a photo.
As well as 4G speeds, customers will also get access to Australia’s fastest 3G speeds claims Telstra’s due to the use of HSPA+ Dual Channel 3G network technology. This network delivers download speeds of 1.1 Mbps – 20 Mbps are available to 80 per cent of the population on the Telstra Mobile Network, making it quicker to do things like browsing the Internet, checking Facebook and loading email.
