Q. I currently have a samsung galaxy fascinate and I love it but its been dropped one too many times within these 2 1/2 years. I have verizon and didn't want to upgrade because then I lose my unlimited data, but I know I need an upgrade. right now I am stuck between two phones I want the iphone but I also want the galaxy s3. help??
A. Galaxy s3 for sure. Iphones are so overated it drives me crazy. The Galaxy S3 has awesome features such as Pop up play, which allows you to view a video on a small part of the screen while you surf the web or do some messaging. You can also use cool unlock tools such as face unlock, patterns or voice unlock. You can access your camera, messages, and phone just by saying the key word at the lock screen. Don't you hate when your phone screen keeps dimming when you dont touch it? Thats why the Gs3 has smart stay which detects your eye movements to keep the phone on while your looking at it. There are so many other features that make this phone so unique. Some people just buy the iPhone because of siri. Trust me you wont even end up using it.
Can I update my Samsung Galaxy SIII from ICS to Jelly Bean?
Q. My SIII is unlocked and I'm in Asia, so can I update it??
A. While the Samsung Galaxy S3 Jelly Bean update status is simply listed as âcoming soonâ in the U.S., it seems that Korea has an actual date. According to Sam Mobile, the Korean LTE models of the Galaxy S3 will receive an update to the latest version of Android on Oct. 9th.
The official model numbers for the upgrade include the SHV-E210S, SHV-E210K and SHV-210L.Unfortunately, thereâs no love for the international 3G version. Considering Korea is the companyâs home market, itâs doubtful that the international version will have to wait too much longer to get into the action, although some markets have already started receiving the update.
There are many reasons to be excited about Jelly Bean. For one thing, the platform is much faster thanks to Project Butter. Fast is one thing, but what about stability? The overall usability for applications and system stability is dramatically improved as well.
Jelly Beanâs changes donât stop there. Probably the most exciting thing about Jelly Bean continues to be Google Now. Most of us already know what Google Now has to offer. For the few of you that donât, itâs basically an assistant-like search system that anticipates your needs by pre-fetching information.
You can also look forward to improved camera functionality, resizable widgets, improved notifications and an enhanced calendar app.
It has been a long wait for Galaxy S3 users globally, but the reign of Jelly Bean on the S3 is almost here. Are you looking forward to ditching ICS in favor of Android 4.1?
launched next week after the company's Mobile Unpacked event in Berlin, Android Central can exclusively reveal. Sources familiar with Samsung's plans inform us that the firmware is in the final stages of testing. The current schedule calls for the release of the international S3 Jelly Bean update shortly after the Samsung Mobile Unpacked event in Berlin, Germany next Wednesday, Aug. 29. That's the same event at which we're expecting to see Samsung's Galaxy Note successor. Following the event, we understand the update will roll out in a number of countries, including the United Kingdom.
As we revealed during our teardown of a leaked Jelly Bean build, the update will introduce familiar Jelly Bean features like the redesigned notification shade and Google Now. In addition, it'll include new TouchWiz features like "dormant mode" for better notification and alert management, as well as "easy mode" for simplified home screen operation.
As for the U.S. and Canada, we have no information on when the LTE-capable Snapdragon S4-powered Galaxy S3 variants can expect their Jelly Bean update, but we're sure Samsung will be just as keen to deliver speedy Android 4.1 upgrades for customers in North America too.
Regardless, international S3 owners should have reason to celebrate in a little over a week's time, as Samsung turns around a major Android OS update in record time. It certainly wouldn't be the first time the manufacturer's delivered a product on announcement -- last week it announced and launched the Galaxy Note 10.1 on the same day in New York City.
