The new Samsung Galaxy S III has managed to show us, that it can shoot impressive photos and videos, but there is also room for improvement, especially when a skilled developer decides to tweak around. hyperX is just this kind of developer – he is known for his many software improvements for the Omnia HD and Galaxy S II and now he has set out to modify the S III. So far he has managed to get the device to record 1080p HD video with 30Mbit along with 192kbit audio recording. He has also added options for 24Mbit and 18Mbit video recording at Full HD resolution and 19Mbit, 15Mbit and 10Mbit bitrates for 720p video recording. Sadly though, his attempts at adding 60FPS slow-motion video capture to the Galaxy S III have thus far turned out to be unsuccessful.
The developer has however managed to add some other features, such as the ability to start the camera, while you’re on a call and even to snapping photos while shooting a video, using the volume buttons. Samsung’s restriction for starting the camera, when you have got less than 15% battery has also been removed. Of course, in order to install the modification, root access is going to be required. B.

Samsung Galaxy S3 The sales of Samsung's new flagship smartphone - the long-awaited Samsung Galaxy S III, are about to begin in a matter of days, but some customers…
Weeks before the Galaxy S3 has hit the market, users can already try out the device’s unique software feature on their own Android smartphone. After Google released the instructions manual for their new flagship, it was XDA-Developer’s turn to get a hold on the device’s software and make all the goodies available for installation for other Android devices. One of the most interesting of the features has to be, of course, the S-Voice virtual voice assistant. After a bit of tweaking from the developers over at XDA, the application is now available for all devices, running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
The service itself is actually said to be quite good – it’s based on the Vlingo application, which is available at the Google Play Store, but it has, of course, been modified.
The debut of the Samsung Galaxy S III brought quite a few surprises, one of which was the fact, that Samsung’s flagship device is once again using a PenTile display, despite the rumors, that it wouldn’t. From many this was received as bad news, but there is actually quite a good reason for the Korean company to have chosen this technology over RGB. This information is coming from an interview with a Samsung employee at the CTIA Wireless event. According to him, despite the many advantages of the AMOLED displays (such as the wider viewing-angles, high contrast and stunning saturation) , they also have one serious disadvantage – they lose their qualities over time.
According to Samsung, this happens faster with blue pixels than with red or green ones, which is also the reason why PenTile displays should last longer – they feature more green pixels and less red and blue ones. If you’re having trouble understanding why that is, here’s a more detailed explanation: the pixel layout in the display, used in the S3, is RGRB (red – green-red-blue) . When compared to the pixel layout in RGB displays (red-green-blue) one can clearly see, that the red pixels in the first case are exactly twice as much as those in the second one.

UK retailer Mobile Fun have released the images of a number of Official Samsung products for the Samsung Galaxy S3. Over on their blog they’ve shown images for six bound to be popular S3 Official accessories: the Desktop Dock, Holder and Battery Charger, two Flip cases, the C-Pen and Wi-Fi Display Hub.
Taking a closer look at the accessories: the C-Pen (which is thought to be the upgrade to the S-Pen) is a great solution for increasing accuracy when using the Galaxy S III. The soft tip helps to keep the display of the S3 clean and free from fingerprints, whilst helping you to become a pro at apps like Draw Something.
One of the nicest looking Samsung Galaxy S3 case styles to be released by Samsung, the Official Flip covers replace the original back cover of the S3 and offers protection to the screen as well as the back and sides. The flip cover is a great addition to the case as now the display remains looking newer for longer as well as the handset. As expected all the ports and features are accessible when using the case, so we think it’s a definite must have.
