Connect, Share and Enjoy with your Smartphone

A smartphone with an advanced camera will take your photos to the next level. Several features of the Samsung Galaxy S III’s powerful 8MP camera will help you share your best side with your nearest and dearest:

• Post better photos, not more photos.
The Burst Shot feature lets you capture a series of photos (6 frames per second, up to 20 frames total) to make sure you capture the ideal photo. In Best Shot mode, the camera takes a series of eight photos and then intelligently recommends the best one.
• Create photos from HD video.
Not willing to share the entire video from your best friend's stag weekend? Pull a still from any frame of the Full HD video and post it as a photo instead.

The clearer you can see your faraway loved ones, the closer you’ll feel to them. The Galaxy S III features a larger, clearer 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED with 1280 x 720 resolution, to provide a more vivid and lifelike viewing experience. Feel like you’re there with them by enjoying rich photos and vibrant videos.

Is your smartphone smart enough to learn and recognise your friends’ faces in your photos? The Galaxy S III is. Social Tag lets you link the faces in your photo album with their social media streams. Add one of your social networking friends to your phone’s Contacts list, along with his or her photo, and the Galaxy S III will automatically identify and tag that friend in your other photos.

Just like Social Tag, Buddy Photo Share makes photo-sharing easier by automatically recognizing your friends’ faces. But instead of tagging them on a social media site, Buddy Photo Share will send a selected photo directly to your friend—handy for photos you may not want to post in a public place.

Although many (if not most) of your loved ones are easy to connect with via smartphone or the Internet, you still want to share content with those who aren’t. Samsung’s AllShare Cast* makes it simple to stream content from your phone to your TV so that you can share photos, videos, or anything else on your phone with everyone present.

The ability to multitask can save you time to stay connected with friends and family. So, look for features like the Samsung Galaxy S III’s PopUp Play, which lets you play a video picture-in-picture display so you can do two things at once. For instance, start writing a social media post about a video while you’re still viewing it on the original source, or text-chat with a friend about a breaking news story you’re both following.

A faster connection helps you to communicate with your friends and family. The Samsung Galaxy S III features Wi-Fi channel bonding technology for double data-connection speeds on the same Wi-Fi network, allowing you to connect to the Webfaster.

Having changed the way friends and family connect with one another, smartphones have become a vital part of today’s culture. Look for a phone with the right features to make your social life richer and easier to manage.
