The news started by a user posting on Reddit that he saw an “available now” message in a store selling the Samsung Galaxy S3. After entering the store he found out that he could indeed buy the Galaxy S3.
While the Samsung Galaxy S2 has received numerous phone of the year awards, users where unhappy about the plastic feel of the Galaxy S2. Before the arrival of the Galaxy S3 one thing was almost certain, Samsung was planning to improve the S3 on this point by using a different material for the casing.
While everyone expected this material to be ceramic, when the phone was released it became clear that no ceramic material was used for the Galaxy S3. But what is the phone made out of?
Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy S3 is made of Polycarbonate.
While we wait for the official release that allows us to play with the phone ourselves, more and more new features show up around the web. Today we have found a video that shows us a great new feature that we haven’t seen before.
A new feature for the Samsung Galaxy S3 is the option to create your own vibration notification pattern. Why did nobody else come up with this before? For years we have been able to change our ringtones, but not the way our phones vibrated.

A lot of the rumors we heard the last few months where about the camera. According to some sources the Galaxy S3 would feature an 12 MP camera, but with the release of the Galaxy S3 it became clear that the Samsung Galaxy S3 has an 8MP camera
Although some people where a bit dissapointed by this, they have to understand that a higher resolution doesn’t always mean better pictures. Other important factors are the lens and the module processing the images.
Although the camera of the Galaxy S2 was amazing, Samsung has created a complete new cameramodule with image processor for the Galaxy S3.
With the presentation of the Galaxy S3 it became clear that Samsung’s focus hasn’t necessarily been on making the best phone spec wise, but making the most user friendly phone ever.
Samsung already started walking this path with the introduction of the Galaxy S2, which had some nice useability tricks. For example, you could zoom in or out by touching it with two fingers and tilting the device.
