"Samsung I9300 Galaxy S3": specifications, photos

The history of the product line under the name "Galaxy", which belongs to the South Korean manufacturer "Samsung", is very interesting. In fact, we can say that this line was built on models developed and produced successfully, and implemented - quickly and competently, with maximum efficiency, a set of popularity and increased sales of the company. The line includes the subject of our today's review - "Samsung I9300".

general characteristics

As mentioned earlier, the corresponding product range of the South Korean manufacturer is a sequence built on the principle of improving each of the following models in comparison with the previous one. Very interesting fact associated with the first flagship of the line. Undoubtedly, its launch on the mobile market was a very important step for the company. We explain why: the first device set the minimum performance bar. It was impossible to descend below it the next time, which set a completely definite trend in direction, which was just in raising this bar.

If you imagine that the moment of exit was something of a turning-point battle or a very important battle, then the competitors of the South Korean producer lost the battle simply with a bang. Again, let's explain why, that everything fell into place: the debut flagship in comparison with similar devices of competing manufacturers had the same (and in some cases less) cost, but, of course, the best hardware, as a result - better performance, and Also a more original and cute design.

If you carefully analyze the relevant data, you can see that the popularity is not even "Samsung Galaxy C 3 i9300", but the "first esque" model line. It took so long, and the rating of the phone does not practically fall. In general, we note that this device appeared in the smartphone market in 2010, in June. But the device is relevant to this day, and the South Korean manufacturer seems to be counting on the maximum profit from its sales.

Probably, the reason lies in the fact that the model perfectly demonstrates its commitment to the "price-quality" ratio. By the way, the South Korean company uses this principle as the base one. Which is noticeable. But the main thing is that the products (namely the mobile plan in this situation) of the firm have one important property. It consists in the fact that the devices have a life cycle that is two years or more. Of course, you should not throw your phone anywhere, throw it in the walls, walk around it with your feet and so on. However, with careful attitude the device will last a very long time. In this regard, competition for the company's offspring, including "Samsung C 3 I9300", can only be made by Apple devices.

Positioning

In the market of mobile devices, the Samsung Galaxy I9300 phone is declared as a logical extension of the first and second devices of the corresponding product line. And of course, he sells with them. In this plan, no changes are visible at all. It is understood that the flagship will be purchased by users, which focus on functionality. There is also a calculation for those who like the novelties of the smartphone market. Fans of the brand-name technologies of the South Korean manufacturer are already mentioned for the second time. Well, we get people "bronze" from people who want the device to work not just without failures, but several years. "Samsung I9300", the photo of which you can find in this article, is just such, along with it demonstrating as a basic principle of creating the following "price-quality" ratio.

Problems

But if the year before the model was still clear, the situation inside the line was the best way, now everything has changed a little. Yes, a new flagship came out - C3. But the release of such a model in the product range justified internal competition. In the role of the enemy of the subject of our today's review - "Galaxy Nout." He dominates his opponent at the expense of a larger screen diagonal. Another important difference is the possibility of using special devices for drawing on the screen or entering text. Speech, of course, is about re. In general, the model automatically becomes more attractive, because it has a different positioning, a different level, and also a completely different price. How did the South Korean developer try to solve this problem? Quite simply: the device was upgraded to a new version of the operating system. And it's time for us to move from positioning to analyzing technical issues.

"Samsung I9300". Characteristics. Connectivity

What about the characteristics of the model? The phone "Samsung I9300" supports cellular networks of GSM standards. It is possible to enter the international network through several technologies. The best option is to use EDGE standards, as well as 3G. However, the work of such technologies as GPRS and WAP is also supported. Standards have long been out of date, out of fashion along with push-button phones, but what the hell is not joking, right?

The software and hardware stuffing make it possible to use a smartphone as a modem in the presence of a sim card. Thus, the owner of the device can create an access point, as they say, distribute Wi-Fi to other similar devices. For data exchange wirelessly with mobile devices, the "Bluetooth" module version 4.0 is provided. The signal quality is good, there should not be any problems with it. The same can be said about Wi-Fi. It works in the ranges b, g and n. The quality of signal reception does not suffer. By the way, the cellular network also does not disappear, which can not be written down in the advantages of the phone.

For business people, as well as for those who simply use e-mail for messaging, there is a built-in client E-mail. It is possible to synchronize the smartphone with a personal computer or laptop using the microUSB standard port.

Display

The screen diagonal is 4.8 inches. The matrix is manufactured using Super AMOLED technology. The screen resolution is 1280 by 720 pixels. This means that the picture is displayed in the so-called HD quality. Color rendition is normal - it translates to 16 million colors. Touch screen, capacitive type. As expected (the tradition of touch screens), there is support for the "Multi-touch" function, which allows processing several touches simultaneously.

Cameras

In this phone model there are two cameras. The main one produces pictures of good quality. Well, that's understandable - its resolution is about eight megapixels. The auto focus function on the subject is supported. To the side of the main camera there is an LED flash, which allows you to take pictures in poor light. The video for it is shot in 3248 resolution at 2448 pixels, which is not bad at all. The front camera will be worse: its resolution is only 2 megapixels (and more precisely, 1.9).

Hardware filling

It is represented in the phone by the Exynos 4412 Quad processor. This is the own development of the South Korean manufacturer. From the name of the chipset it is clear that the processor has four cores. Their maximum clock frequency is 1400 megahertz. This is enough to run and use games that fall into the category of "higher than average". Yes, of course, rare friezes and suspensions are possible, but only occasionally, at certain points in the chipset loading, as they say, with the head. In the role of video chip - Mali 400 MP.

Memory

The user is given 16 gigabytes for data storage. However, let's not forget that part of the operating system underlies the software. It is possible to expand the volume by using a microSD card. At maximum, the device supports 64 gigabytes. At the same time, the amount of RAM is 1 GB. Not so much, but not a little. Not gold, but still the middle.

Multimedia metrics

From this category I would like to note the availability of TV. In the rest everything is standard: a player for playing audio files, as well as video clips and movies. There is also an FM radio. To use it, you need to connect a wired stereo headset to the phone. For this purpose, the device has a 3.5 mm socket. From the software for this criterion, you can select another voice recorder. The recording quality is good.

OS

Onboard the subject of our today's review is the operating system of the "Android" family. Its version is 4.0.

Navigation and SIM

For the use of satellite maps, GPS technology is provided. GLONASS is absent. The smartphone has a place for just one SIM card, so with the choice of the operator will need to decide. Before installation, it will have to be processed according to the MicroSIM standard.
