Powered by the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, the Galaxy S III includes voice recognition and also recognises how you’re using the device and optimises the experience.

It does this by using front camera to identify your eyes so that, for example, if the user is reading an ebook or browsing the web, the Galaxy S III maintains a bright display.

S Voice is another feature of the new device which allows the user to issue spoken commands, conduct searches and enter text just by talking to it.

The Galaxy S III also understands your motions.
