Some of our readers will remember the ‘Garnet Red’ version of the Samsung Galaxy S III that was announced by AT&T a few weeks ago. The device is now available with AT&T in the US.
The ‘Garnet Red’ is available for the same price as the white and blue versions. The handset will set you back $199 when you sign up for a new two-year contract with the carrier.
The handset shares the same specifications as the other versions, which include a 4.8 inch HD Super AMOLED touchscreen display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels.
Camera Capabilities
The Samsung Galaxy S III also comes with a front-facing 1.9-megapixel camera and a rear-facing 8-megapixel camera, which can record full HD video. The camera features are quite impressive for a smartphone of its time, offering various modes such as burst shot, best photo, and face detection. The rear camera’s ability to capture high-quality images and videos makes it a versatile tool for both casual and more serious photography enthusiasts.
Performance and Features
Under the hood, the Galaxy S III is powered by a 1.4 GHz quad-core Exynos processor, coupled with 1 GB of RAM. This combination ensures smooth performance for most tasks, from browsing the web to playing games. The device also comes with 16 GB of internal storage, which can be expanded up to 64 GB via a microSD card, providing ample space for apps, photos, and videos.
The Galaxy S III runs on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box, but it is upgradable to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. The user interface is enhanced by Samsung’s TouchWiz, which adds several unique features such as Smart Stay, which keeps the screen on as long as you are looking at it, and S Voice, Samsung’s voice-activated assistant.
Connectivity options include 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC, making it a well-rounded device for staying connected on the go. The 2100 mAh battery provides a decent amount of usage time, ensuring that you can get through a day of moderate use without needing to recharge.
The ‘Garnet Red’ version adds a touch of elegance and uniqueness to the Galaxy S III lineup. The color is rich and vibrant, appealing to users who want a device that stands out from the more common white and blue variants. This version is particularly popular among those who appreciate a blend of style and functionality in their smartphones.
