So is it just another new Android phone in the market? No, it seems to be a milestone for both Samsung and Google’s Android OS. And no points for guessing, it can be the much awaited “iPhone killer”.

Smart Stay

The phone keeps a track of your eyeball and observes if you are looking at it or not. So that as long as you looking at it the display won’t turn off or dim like in the other phones. This feature will really help in playing games and watching videos smoothly without the hassle of pinging the phone regularly in order to keep it awake.

S-Voice

Samsung Galaxy S3 comes with its version of voice assistant just like SIRI. As per now S-Voice is not as well integrated as SIRI but it can do jobs like setting an alarm, volume control, checking weather, initializing the camera etc.

Direct Call

This feature is for those who don’t like texting much instead prefers calling the person directly. When you receive a SMS and you open it, you can take the phone directly next to your ear and the phone will make a call to the person whose message you are reading.
