Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 Now In Purple Giveaway

June 5, 2013 by Momstart 99 Comments

Sprint has a new color in the Samsung Galaxy S3, it’s Amethyst Purple and they gave us one to giveaway. Here are a few snippets from my review a few months ago. Sprint’s Samsung Galaxy S3 is FANTASTIC. It’s lightweight, shares with a back bump and has a great camera. The camera is so much better than my last phone. The 1.9MP front-facing camera is a great addition. The fact that one could take 720p HD videos from the front camera is very impressive. The Samsung Galaxy S3 is a great multimedia player and it played some full 1080p videos. I like the size of the phone and the way it feels in my hand. My husband first said he thought it was really big but I think he’s getting used to this size of phone since his new phone is about the same size and weight. The screen is in HD and it looks fabulous. It’s also enormous. It was very easy for me to adjust to the android software and I was able to easily add all of my social networking apps.

Recognizes Hand and Eye Gestures

Since you can enable each motion gesture individually, you can customize the Galaxy S III to use only the gestures you want. To enable hand gestures and learn how to use them, go to Settings > Motion. Check the Motion activation box to show the available motion gestures. Touch the name of any gesture to view a tutorial. Smart Stay: The phone tracks your eyes, so as long as you’re looking at it, the display won’t dim or turn off. If the “Turn Over to Mute” gesture is enabled, you can turn the phone over to mute the ringer of an incoming call, alarm, or alert tone. Direct Call: If you’ve got a contact on your screen, there’s no need to hit call: simply hold the device up to your face and the number will be dialed automatically. To take a screen shot, place the edge of your palm against one side of the screen and swipe your hand across the screen to the other side. While a video or song is playing, cover the screen with your palm to pause the media. And of course you also have voice. S-Voice: That’s S for Samsung, not Siri. This feature allows you to control your phone through voice, eg to turn up the volume, and to ask it questions. WP_20130605_003

 

Syncing Across Devices
All Share Play and Cast: Share your S3′s screen to a TV, or use the screen as a remote control. Pop Up Play: Play video in a window on any homescreen. Music Hub automatically syncs with your music library (iTunes or Windows® Media Player), then scans your songs and matches them with the titles in the Music Hub catalog so they play at optimized audio quality and reduces the upload time. Unmatched songs are directly uploaded so that you can access all of your recordings, even personal ones. Any time you edit your playlists or buy new music, your collection is automatically updated across all of your devices.

    I would SO love to win this. I got a Galaxy S3 about a month ago, fell in love, and then promptly lost it on a trip to NYC two weeks later. I am so sad. I am now using my hubby’s old Razr and it is not the same at all.
