Samsung Galaxy S III versus the world
Samsung’s flagship handset has sparked a huge debate about the design choice and materials used but underneath it all, there’s no denying that it’s one of the fastest and most modern smartphones to hit the street, when it launches in June.
Although the chassis is mostly plastic, their new Hyperglaze coating gives you a good grip and feel of the phone. No one’s going to be looking the back though when you have such a gorgeous 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED upfront. Samsung has managed to squeeze a massive screen into form that’s just a little larger than the S II, which is quite a feat.
Beating inside, is their latest Exynos 4 Quad SoC which is giving many smartphones a run for their money. More than the specifications though, it’s new special features that make phone unique like the S Voice, Smart stay, etc. If you don’t feel like waiting till the end of the month though, then here’s some very good options in the market right now.
HTC One X
The
One X was the first quad-core smartphone is arguably one of the best
built phones in the market. The polycarbonate shell makes is very
durable and super light as well. One of the unique features of the HTC
One X is the new Burst mode in the camera interface. This lets you
capture photos in rapid succession which means you can get some really
good action shots. The One X also boasts of zero shutter lag which means
capturing a photo is almost instantaneous. The phone is great if you
game a lot as it’s powered by Nvidia’s Tegra 3 SoC, which has one of the
best GPUs in any phone till date. For Rs36,000, it’s currently the best
Android in the market.
Apple iPhone 4S
Apple’s
iPhone is always an option when money is not a constraint. The 4S takes
all the goodness of the iPhone 4 and adds some more as well. It now
packs in a beefier dual-core CPU from the iPad 2, giving it 1080p
recording capabilities. The new 8MP BSI sensor improves on the already
good sensor of the previous one for better low light photography. And
then there’s Siri, your personal assistant to answer your every beck and
call. The 4S sits at the top end of the price bracket at Rs45,000.Sony Xperia S
Compared
with the other handsets, the Xperia S may not come across as a serious
contender but it has one of the best cameras and display right now. The
plastic and chrome finish have been ditched for a classy, matt finished
chassis. The HD resolution, 4.3-inch screen makes everything super sharp
and crisp so reading eBooks and web pages is a dream. It also has one
of the best cameras for outdoor shooting. The 12MP sensor can snap up
some really detailed pictures, making it a joy for Instagram
enthusiasts, especially macro shots. The phone is also slated to receive
an ICS update. If a camera is off high priority, then at Rs31,000, this
is your best bet.
