A quad-core Exynos 4412 chip paired with Mali-400MP graphics handles Android 4.0.4 (upgradeable to 4.1.2 Jelly Bean) without much fuss, though 1 GB RAM is on the lighter side even by 2012 standards. The 4.8-inch Super AMOLED screen at 720 x 1280 still holds up well for colour and contrast, and storage options go up to 64 GB with microSD support adding more room if needed.
The 8 MP rear camera shoots stills up to 3264x2448 and records 1080p video, with autofocus and LED flash covering the basics. A 1.9 MP front camera handles video calls at 720p. Samsung Galaxy S III / S3 price in Malaysia starts from RM940, and the 2100 mAh battery runs the show alongside NFC, GPS with GLONASS, and Wi-Fi Direct for connectivity.
It comes in seven colour options, from Pebble blue to La Fleur, and at 133g with an 8.6mm profile, it's light and slim for its screen size.
