Galaxy S3
The Samsung Galaxy S III is currently the most popular smartphone in the world.
The screen is vibrant – almost unbeatably so. Just spending a few minutes with the S3 is enough to impress – the screen’s colours jump out.
Watching videos the screen is both crisp and delightfully bright.
The phone packs a wide 4.8 inch “Super AMOLED” display.
Photo and HD quality 1080p video is taken with an 8-megapixel camera.
The S3 has a fast 1.5-gigahertz dual-core processor – which loads apps, browsers and takes pictures at an excellent pace.
It is easy to see why the phone has been so popular – it is a joy to use and would make a great choice for anyone.
Galaxy Note 2
The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is part phone, part tablet – what may be known as a “phablet”.
The phone is very thin at just 9mm.
It features a huge 5.5 inch “Super AMOLED” 720p resolution screen.
The screen is however incredibly bright and crisp, and the format has proved very popular.
The Samsung Note II features a fast 1.6 GHz quad-core processor, 2 GB of RAM, storage capacity up to 64 GB — and an additional microSD card slot.
The Samsung Note II also has a built in FM radio, and some models also have a built in digital TV tuner.
As with the original Galaxy Note the device comes with a stylus.
At the time of it’s launch in October it was the first Samsung device to come bundled with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
Galaxy Ace 2
In the UK the Galaxy Ace 2 can be found for a reasonable £160 on pay-as-you-go, making it a cheap but still capable phone.
It is not in the same league as the S3, but for someone looking for a budget alternative this could be a good phone.
Unfortunately out of the box the phone only comes with Android 2.3 Gingerbread instead of 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
The phone has a 800MHz processor, a 3.8 inch screen, 4GB of internal memory and a microSD expansion slot.
