Samsung Electronics Co’s latest Galaxy phone will have a high-definition touch screen that’s nearly twice the size of the iPhone, while being thinner and lighter than Apple’s phone.The Galaxy line has emerged as the biggest competitor to the iPhone. Samsung said the Galaxy S III will go on sale in Europe on 29 May and in the US this summer. The Korean company showed off the phone Thursday at an event in London.
Like previous Galaxy phones, the S III will run Google Inc”s Android software. The processor, or “brains” of the device, will be upgraded to include four computing cores. The iPhone and most other high-end phones are “dual-core,” but there are some quad-core devices on sale already.

The Galaxy S III will hit European shores first, on May 29, and so far, global pricing details are still unsure, though U.K pre-order listings have it around £450. However, the latest reports indicate that India pricing will be roughly between Rs. 35,000 and Rs. 38,000.
Samsung’s new Galaxy S III is one of several quad-core Android phones due to hit shelves soon, with the Tegra 3-powered HTC One X already in the Indian market.The S III however, should manage stand out from the crowd, with its 8.6mm thickness, 2,100 mAh battery, as well as 50GB of Dropbox storage. Early benchmarks also show the Galaxy S III to be quite a way ahead of the One X in sheer performance.
Samsung’s value additions to the S III, should also help, such as Buddy Photo Share and the other photo features, Samsung’s alternative to Apple Siri – S Voice, gesture recognition, S Beam image/video sharing, and range of exclusive accessories.
