Following
the Samsung Galaxy S3’s availability in
the European market, Chipworks and iFixit did a little “reverse engineering” on
the device as it check out the internal components of the latest Samsung
smartphone.
The de-construction
of the Samsung Galaxy S3 also revealed that the device features a 2100mAh
battery, which is significantly bigger compared to the first Ice Cream Sandwich
smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and the Apple iPhone 4S although it was
smaller than the3300mAh battery of the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx.
The battery
of the Samsung Galaxy S3 is also bigger compared to the 1420mAh battery of the
The teardown
of the Samsung Galaxy S3 also showed that the display and the glass are fused
together. Although this will increase the cost whenever it will be necessary to
replace the display of the device, it uses the Corning Gorilla Glass 2 which
increases its resistance from damage even as it maintains its slim design.
Another
revelation from the teardown showed that the sensor on the 8MP camera of the
Samsung Galaxy S3 is similar to the one used on the Apple iPhone 4S. However it
remains to be seen if the Android-powered smartphone will offer similar image
quality as the current version of the iPhone.
The Samsung
Galaxy S3 also features a 1.9MP camera in front, which is better compared to
the VGA camera that is currently being used on the iPhone 4S.
For the
moment iFixit has not given the Samsung Galaxy S3 a ‘repairability score’
although this may be made available in the future.
Recent
reports have indicated that the Samsung Galaxy S3 will be released into the US
market before the end of the month. So consumers who are not keen on importing
the international version of the smartphone, which will be incompatible to the
4G LTE networks of US carriers, will just have to wait for a little while
longer before they can finally get their hands on this much-anticipated Samsung
smartphone.
