Samsung has unwrapped the Galaxy S III, a handset it boasted is "best smartphone in the world" thanks to its "nature-inspired" design, voice recognition and eye-tracking.

The handset is based around a 4.8in, 1280 x 720 OLED display and Samsung's quad-core Exynos processor. It'll provide LTE and 3G HSPA+ connectivity. It will run Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich. It'll have a choice of 16, 32 and 64GB of Flash storage, plus a Micro SD part.

There's 2.4GHz / 5GHz 802.11n on board, plus Bluetooth 4.0.

The S III has 2100mAh battery built into its gently curved 8.6mm thick frame, which will come with a glossy "marble white" or "pebble blue" back panel

The 1.9Mp front camera scans the user's eyes to ensure the screen stays lit when your watching. The rear, 8Mp, zero shutter lag camera has an eight-shot automatic burst mode which presents the best pic of the set, a feature first seen years ago on Sony Ericsson - as it was then - CyberShot phones.

Take solace in the thought that in a years time, when your contract is due for an upgrade, the next handset will be due for launch.

That's all that's keeping me going at the moment. Next upgrade available from July 2013.....

Why bother with a cell phone - there just bits of plastic that make a noise when somebody wants something.

Haha loving it I am getting one for sweet f all :O out with the folks today my mum mentioned that she is due an upgrade this month and asked what I suggested and I said 'without a shadow of a doubt the Samsung Galaxy S3'. but my mum aint so good with the touch screen phones etc when the Xpreria X10 was released she had it a few days before giving it to me. But anyway she said 'I thought you liked your phone' I own the S2 and I said yeah its a fantastic phone but the S3 is the upgrade and I am desperate to get my hands on it . So she said that she will get the S3 and take my S2 aslong as I show her how to work the S2 .

Aww my mum is a gem she really is

My lucky day.

Anyone got there hands on one yet and what are your views.

Think it will be phone of the year.... another twos up to the Iphone from the Samsung Galaxy S range.

My S2 is with BT (which runs through the vodafone network) my mums network is orange. Is it worth taking the chance and unlocking the S2 myself or take it to someone else to do so and will I be able to unlock the S3. Never rooted my handsets or anything like that as never found the need to do so. As you can imagine I am pretty excited about getting the S3 but do not want to ~~~~ it the soon as I have it also if I ~~~~ the S2 I cant see me getting at S3

[happy_highlander]

Gaz be very careful unlocking any phone from the galaxy range m8, they are all very prone to the imei ~~~~ing up and resetting to all zeros stopping you from downloading from the market amongst other things. Safest way is to root the phone and them use the imei backup app for s2 just incase things go pete tong during unlocking.

ive read the S3s from Three ireland are not networked locked so maybe you might get lucky with Uk providers too.

[garry1312]

See I dont think my BT S2 is network locked need to try a sim in it though. Only seem to have vodafone sims kicking about here and as I mentioned BT Business mobile use Vodafones network.

So what you thinks best to take it somewere and get it unlocked rather than attempt it myself with the S3 if need be?

Also with the S2 as I said I ~~~~ the S2 and I cant see that S3 being handed over .
