Samsung last night unveiled its latest flagship device, the Galaxy S3, the follow-up to last year's best-selling phone in the world.
The smartphone market moves on once more, with the hi-tech voice-controlled Galaxy S3 likely to becomes a standard-bearer for Googleââ¬â¢s Android operating system - and a device for the Apple refuseniks.
The phoneââ¬â¢s most innovative feature is built-in face-tracking and voice control - allowing, Samsung claims, for a more 'natural' control system.
Other innovations include what Samsung claims is a 'more intelligent' lock system, that keeps the screen 'awake' when the phoneââ¬â¢s camera senses eyes watching it, rather than turning it off.
The voice control system is called S Voice - and allows access to weather forecasts, web searches and scheduling, similar to iPhoneââ¬â¢s Siri system.
Saying 'I want to take a picture' launches the camera application - and will work in eight languages at launch.
S Voice can also reply out loud - which Samsung claims will allow the system to be used while driving.
Available in blue and white, the phone will be launched at the end of May, starting in Europe, with other regions following.
The S2 is expected to cost around ã35-ã40 per month. Carphone Warehouse said their tariffs would start for ã36 on a 24-month contract.
