Sprint's ad for Samsung Galaxy S III shows off S Beam feature

0. phoneArena posted on 07 Sep 2012, 06:54

Sprint's new ad for the Samsung Galaxy S III shows off the S Beam feature on the phone, allowing users to share files by merely tapping another S Beam enabled handset; that's only part of the story as Sprint's unlimited data is another focus of the spot...

Name a phone you can put in your pocket and not risk damaging.

10. networkdood posted on 07 Sep 2012, 08:42 2 6

RAZR phone

any 4.3 inch screen phone or less. anything bigger than 4.3 is statistically proven unpractical as a phone

12. wassup posted on 07 Sep 2012, 08:48 5 2

Dude, STFU, which statistics? It is statistically proven that you are an idiot.
People go to it because it's the best phone around till the s4 comes out.
If you have the hands of a 12 year old then you fail

i had 12 flagship phones. including HTC exec (bet u dont know about it), iphone, wp7. come at me bro. i am at another level

14. wassup posted on 07 Sep 2012, 08:57 4 2

Doesn't change the fact that you still have the hands of a 12 year old

15. robot9001 (banned) posted on 07 Sep 2012, 08:59 1 6

oh yeah? that not what your ##@##$@# said

16. e.wvu (unregistered) posted on 07 Sep 2012, 09:02 4 1

I have an S3 and fits in my pocket pretty well. I'm sitting down right now and, nope no damage.

17. wassup posted on 07 Sep 2012, 09:06 1 3

Aww, is the widdle boy mad that his hands are too small to use the best phone around?
I can use the S3 perfectly and comfortably without any problems, you get used to it.
You can always do hand surgery to get bigger hands if you're insecure about your hands you know ...
Oh and btw, trying to abuse family, what are you? 12?... oh wait, you are.

leave me alone. stop bullying me! i will not drop my spaghetti here

19. wassup posted on 07 Sep 2012, 09:14 1 1

Ha ha, the widdle boy is mad ... aww, and btw if you damage phones by just putting phones in your pocket and sitting down, stop wearing skinny jeans! If you're a boy, it's inappropriate unless you're you're 12. Oh wait ...
Btw, drop spaghetti? WTF?

20. robot9001 (banned) posted on 07 Sep 2012, 09:18 7

people from our "fight club"....thumbs up my comment if u know what "drop spaghetti means". remember rules 1 & 2

23. wassup posted on 07 Sep 2012, 09:42 1 1

Well played, but it still doesn't change the fact that you have 12 year old hands

He means his bowl of spaghettios his mommy made him

I have put every phone I have owned in my back pocket.. sitting, standing.. never had any problems its no different than my wallet, never broken a phone from it being in my pocket. To say its unpractical is just silly, A good bit of us men have big hands and big pockets and don't have any issues. :) and doing things on a larger phone like watching videos or surfing the web tends to be much better than on a smaller phone just sayin.

I use my galaxy s2 4.5" in my rear pocket,but usually just be holding it. I find it very umcomfortable in front pockets(unless i remove the case which is not much of a difference).

I saw a girl typing on her galaxy s3 yesterday with both hands, it was like she couldnt reach the top letters with just 1 hand.

I dont want to get "used to a phone" or wear baggy pants.i want the phone to be comfortable period.and the s3 will be the best phone till the note 2 comes out, lets be real the only thing that changes is the screen size and the name. So we can say the s3 is an old phone already.

28. buggerrer posted on 07 Sep 2012, 10:43 1 1

i've had the sgs3 for over a month and it fits in all my pockets, sounds like you just want one and are jealous.

29. Mightymack posted on 07 Sep 2012, 10:50 1 1

Must be one of those skinny jeans guy

30. groupsacc posted on 07 Sep 2012, 10:52 1 1

lol was that the best you could come up with? "put in a jeans pocket and sit down" i'm not even gonna bother reading further down from here.

34. RapidCat posted on 07 Sep 2012, 12:14 1

why people complain, i have one and i don't care the build, what inside the plastic matter

37. hosker (unregistered) posted on 07 Sep 2012, 13:43

I had the s1 and now the s2,not jealous just had enough of samsung FOR NOW.

43. voxmarc posted on 07 Sep 2012, 21:28

i got a big d**k and i need big phone.....i don't need barbie phone!

Not really an original feature. ICS introduced the Android Beam feature which is what S-Beam is based on.

2. ohmygot posted on 07 Sep 2012, 07:00 3 1

That's really creepy

3. networkdood posted on 07 Sep 2012, 07:09 1 9

Why is this a news article - we all know Samsung GS3 has the S-Beam...same commercial on any other major carrier.

4. networkdood posted on 07 Sep 2012, 07:31 1 7

ahhh, man...someone minused me and now I am sad :-(

5. adi4u4882 posted on 07 Sep 2012, 07:53 2 1

That's thumbing down bro :)
Not minused or something else

9. networkdood posted on 07 Sep 2012, 08:41 2

true...lol

6. joey_sfb posted on 07 Sep 2012, 08:26 1 1

i don't know about S-Beam till i saw the Sprint Girl Ad.

Good Ad btw.

38. networkdood posted on 07 Sep 2012, 16:52

seriously? Where have you been? Under a rock?

21. Mxyzptlk posted on 07 Sep 2012, 09:41 1 3

Doesnt seem as functional in my humble opinion.

24. wassup posted on 07 Sep 2012, 09:46 2 1

It's good if you have 2 S3s , sending all that HD video through Bluetooth would take time otherwise lol

32. Savage posted on 07 Sep 2012, 11:46 2

Why don't you wait for another 5-50 years till it comes on iPhone? And then we can go around boasting its the best thing ever since automatic flushing toilets.

33. E.N. posted on 07 Sep 2012, 12:06 2

I'm pretty sure that's not even how S Beam works. And It's really not that amazing of a feature.

I know I'm probably going to be attacked for this, but other than having good specs, I don't think there's anything exceptionally amazing about the SIII. S Beam is not very useful (and doesn't it only work w/ Samsung devices?), pop up play is stupid, etc.

It's just another android device to me.

35. wassup posted on 07 Sep 2012, 12:42 2

Listen, E. N, I wanna know what you want from the S3? Holographic projectors?
It is the best smartphone around. That is why it's special.
What is so special about the 4S? Just another feature phone to me

41. E.N. posted on 07 Sep 2012, 19:28 1

Just as long as you guys know that the phone is not "revolutionary." It's basically just the latest Android device with the latest specs. The only thing remotely new and exciting is smart stay. And even that is somewhat underwhelming.

And why are we talking about the 4S again? I thought we were talking about Samsung's features.

42. wassup posted on 07 Sep 2012, 21:08 1

It's definitely more innovative than the 4S was.
And we're talking about the 4S because you think that it is 'revolutionary '... just showing you that it's not.
Oh and btw, I'm willing to bet as soon as apple copies Samsung with their iBeam app they'll release for their NFC phones, you'll be talking about how revolutionary it is.

44. voxmarc posted on 07 Sep 2012, 21:30

yeah right...but if iPhone have this feature it would be awesomeness.....like the website a big fruitty fan!

31. x88yunkw posted on 07 Sep 2012, 10:52 2

dont try to convince others which OS is better. individual has different mindset, diff opinion and so on.

36. zekes posted on 07 Sep 2012, 13:14

i dont like it

39. networkdood posted on 07 Sep 2012, 16:53

Android beam is like S beam, right?

It reminds me of bump.
