We often publish articles comparing the Apple system with its current competitor “Android”, as well as articles about the iPhone against its competitors such as the Samsung Galaxy S3 To clarify the differences between the two devices Which is better, then we compared the advantages of each device such as Comparison of personal assistant In Apple “Siri” and its counterpart in Samsung “S Voice”, we have sought to be as neutral in comparisons as possible (don’t forget we are Apple fans). When comparing the technical specifications between the two devices, we mentioned that Samsung excels in screen size, processor, memory, fourth generation networks, NFC technology and others … But some readers accused us of bias against Apple and sent us a request to publish their own articles on Samsung to clarify some points that may not seem clear in our articles, and we publish one of these articles from our brother Ben Yahya: “Samsung is innovative and imitation is not a flaw.”
After I read an article on one of the Arab websites specialized in modern technology news about Samsung’s technologies in its mobile phones, and although I have never owned a Galaxy device before, and before today I had a desire to own the Galaxy S2 and retracted its acquisition, but today I have an overwhelming desire to own the Galaxy S3 But you may ask why?
Samsung demonstrated in this version and before it with Beam and Note that its devices are worth buying, when they included in the Galaxy S3 very wonderful features, new programs and innovations that are more than wonderful that serve the user and comfort him, and fulfill his desires to own programs and technologies like the ones that others have in devices that he gave his trust and owned As users of Apple devices and others… Some may say that it is an imitation of HTC and the iPhone. I tell them, “Imitation is not a defect as long as it is not robbery.” Samsung sometimes produces innovative products.
There is no denying that Samsung is the fiercest competitor to Apple, and we all know that the fierce competition between them is pushing the giant Apple to improve its products from the iPhone, iPad and others. For example, the S Voice service is true that Apple preceded it with “Siri” in this way, but Samsung has the right to satiate the hunger and desire Its customers and users of its devices have a similar service and let us know that the first idea of voice control existed before “Siri” and thus the seed of the idea was born before Apple and Samsung.
And we believe with ourselves: If you were asked, for example, to participate in a race to climb a mountain and advance others to the top, would you be satisfied with the foot of the mountain, claiming that others climbed the mountain before you, and you would not (make it) reach the summit like him?!! … This is the case of creators up to what others have reached and does not lose sight of the beautiful techniques and ideas that they have reached around him, and at the same time he adds, improves and invents new ones, and there is no objection that others follow his example!
And you may find that Samsung sometimes does not provide similar services to the owners of its products, but rather adds to it other great creative features. Let’s take, for example, the S Voice service, to which Samsung added the ability to run programs with it, such as running Google Maps and running other applications only with these voice commands and many more and dazzling, and what distinguishes S Voice for other applications is the ability to give commands without having to open the phone and then launch the application, just talk to the device and say Hey Galaxy (you can change the phrase) and the application will start asking you what command you want to do without even touching the phone.
These days, we hear about Apple that it intends to release its own maps with the sixth version of its system, in competition with Google Maps, to abandon the latter. Are we going to say that Apple is a fake? And we know that Google is the pioneer in this kind of technology? Of course not, and that's why I say Samsung is inventive; It is that it did not stop at satisfying the desire of users of its devices by making them have the advantages of different smart devices by providing similar technologies. Rather, it went beyond that by providing very impressive and beautiful features, and serving the convenience of the user for its devices. Her phones were truly innovative and exceeded the feature of intelligence.
Here are some of the features that were included in the latest version of the Galaxy S3 family and judge for yourself:
- Eye tracking feature and the role of this feature is that the screen does not close automatically as long as the user is reading from it, and the screen closes itself automatically as soon as the user removes the device from his eyes and put it aside.
- Pop up play You can play a video and at the same time you are browsing your device and using any other applications.
- Best Photo The camera takes about 8 photos in a row and then chooses the best one.
- Direct Call In the event that a new message arrives and you want to answer it with a call, you only need to raise the device to your ear and it will understand that you want to call it and the call will take place without the need to press any button.
- Social Tag When you take a picture of a person or group of people you have in your friends list, it identifies them and adds a tag with the person's name on his picture and shares the picture with him.
- Smart Alert You've missed a call, message or alert while away from your device, just lifting the device starts vibrating to alert you that something is missing.
- As for the cameras, the “Galaxy S3” has an 8-megapixel rear camera capable of capturing consecutive images without a significant delay at a rate of 3.3 frames per second, the user can choose the best image among them, and it is capable of recording 1080p video. With taking pictures while recording video, the front camera has a resolution of 1.9 megapixels that can record 720p video.
- In the new device, Samsung also introduced the S Voice feature, a feature that allows the user to interact with the device by giving commands and listening to the results. It is more advanced than the voice commands that Google provided by default in Android, and it can be considered a competitor to the “Siri” system that Apple presented in iPhone XNUMXS. .
- USB On-the-go It is also present in the Galaxy S2 and its purpose is to be able to connect it to a flash or hard disk via a separately sold piece.
- MHL, which is the ability to display the device’s screen to the TV screen through the charger slot, also via a piece sold separately with the HDMI end and the other end MicroUSB. Some TVs can also charge the device.
- NFC technology: It enables you to transfer photos and videos between similar devices at speeds that surpass Bluetooth. This technology is not available in the iPhone.
- You do not need to remove the battery if you change the chip and memory.
- Excellent accessories such as: Wireless Charger - All Share Cast, from which you can cast HD photos and videos from your device to the All Share Cast piece wirelessly. This piece is useful in the absence of WiFi technology in your TV, but if you own the latest Samsung TV models, it has this Technology.
- Not to mention the other hardware features that were top of the line, the quad-core Exynos 4212 processor at a frequency of 1.4 GHz, which is the latest Samsung processor, with a high-resolution screen measuring 4.8 inches of type Super AMOLED HD. Its thickness is only 8.6 mm, and it is available in capacities of 16, 32 and 64 GB with the option to increase storage capacity via an external microSD card.
In the end, it is sufficient for Samsung to be honored that it absolves us from acquiring programs that we lack in their simplicity in the iPhone, where we find them paid or not available with it, such as Bluetooth, Siri, and good book readers, so we find a strong desire to acquire them and we do not find the way to obtain them, which leads us to take the crack and patch and other ways The twisted band that I will quit when I own the Galaxy… It even gives you better features than the Bluetooth method, such as the S Beam feature in the “Galaxy S3”, a technology that combines the two technologies of NFC and Wi-Fi Direct and allows the user to transfer files such as videos and music from One device to another device by just touching two devices that have this feature, and the voice assistant system that you have to cheat to get in the iPhone 4, 3GS and so on.
Attention:
What I wrote today in this article is not out of fanaticism for one company or resentment toward another. No, I abhor this type of behavior, and it upsets me when I see it on many Arab websites and forums. It's enough that I'm writing this article from an iPad :)
Thank you to the friend Bin Yahya Abdel Aziz for sending this article
