Samsung Galaxy S III Review: Universally Excellent Android ICS Smartphone

The Samsung Galaxy S III launches a hype level typically reserved for the Apple iPhone -- and for good reason. Samsung has earned its reputation for delivering some of the best Android hardware, most recently with the Galaxy Nexus and both the Galaxy S and Galaxy S II. Also, reviews of the international Galaxy S III have been near universally positive.
The Samsung Galaxy S III has a 4.8-inch display with a 1280 x 720 resolution, giving it 306 pixels per inch (ppi). The Samsung Galaxy Nexus and iPhone 4S have higher PPI counts, but both have smaller screens, too. Anything over 300 PPI is overkill anyway, so I'm not complaining too loudly.
The Galaxy S III's unusually large -- and welcomed -- size aside, its Super AMOLED display is its defining feature. Yes, there are other smartphones with AMOLED displays, mostly from Samsung, but it is worth repeating that it produces deeper blacks and more vibrant colors than LED or LCD displays. It's vibrancy also helps it cut through glare from overhead lights better than the alternatives, and it consumes less power and helps preserve battery life.
If there is a fair complaint that can be levied at Super AMOLED displays, it's perhaps that the colors are a bit too vibrant, and contrast a bit too heavy. That can wear on the eyes with extended viewing or reading, but so can staring at a small screen, regardless of display type.
In regards to the S III, the image output tends toward the cooler blue and greenish tones, which dims any whites a bit. The S III has a large viewing angle, but a strong blue hue gives way to a magenta haze at the severe angles.

HTC One S Review: A Surprisingly Powerful Android Smartphone

At the same time as HTC unveiled its flagship model, the One X, the company also presented the One S -- a device which has often been overshadowed by its more powerful brother. The One S has a smaller display, a lower resolution, and a slower dual-core processor. However, it does come in an elegant metal casing and is currently one of the slimmest smartphones available on the market.

Jenson Button has revealed he never believed such dark days as he is currently experiencing would return to haunt him.
Button described himself as 'confused and very lost' in the wake of a dire 16th-place finish in the Canadian Grand Prix with McLaren.
It was a wretched weekend from start to finish for Button given his woes in practice on Friday when an oil leak resulted in two gearbox changes and considerable time lost sat in the garage.
