Galaxy S3 - Smart Stay #TakePart2012

Another new feature of the Samsung Galaxy S3 is the Smart Stay feature. Instead of always having to touch the screen to keep your phone awake, or having it shut off constantly, the Smart Stay feature will detect when you are looking at the screen, so it will never turn off if you're reading an email or watching a video! If you look away or fall asleep, the screen will shut off itself to save battery. It's pretty amazing! Check out this fun video of a staring contest I had with the Galaxy S3!

Share Files with S-Beam! #TakePart2012

S-Beam is a great new feature on the Samsung Galaxy S3. I have taken hundreds of photos and many videos of my time in London and now I can share it in moments! S-Beam uses NFC technology and wi-fi direct to make sharing files quick and easy. All you have to do it put two S3 phones back to back and tap on the content you want to send. You can share anything you want, from contacts and urls to pictures and videos. I've taken a video to show you how easy it is!

Visit a Samsung PIN to get your Battery Booster Pack #TakePart2012

With the Olympics winding down, the Samsung Olympic pin craze has also ended, but that doesn't mean you should stop visiting the PIN stores! Go and check it out, and maybe you might walk away with an awesome battery booster pack! This is perfect for people who need to charge their phone on the go. There will be presentations happening about the Samsung Galaxy S3 phone and you can get a chance to win one for yourself if you participate. Or you can see some of the other staff, and if you ask nicely, maybe they will give you one too. ;)

Burst Shot & Best Photo Features on the Samsung Galaxy S3 #TakePart2012

Since I do multiple presentations a day about the Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphone, I thought I'd start writing about some of the cool features of the phone here too!

Burst shot is perfect for taking pictures at an Olympic game - they are all fast-paced, the athletes are zooming around the court and you want that perfect gold-medal moment! Burst shot allows you to take 20 photos in 3 seconds, which is amazingly fast! I can think of many times I wished I had this option when I'm taking pictures of things! The phone keeps all of the photos so you can sort through them yourself.

Best photo is also a new feature of the Galaxy S3. When you turn on the best photo option, the phone will take 8 pictures and then choose the best one for you! The intelligent camera and phone will detect if someone is smiling or blinking and will choose the best photo based on that, as well as the colour and saturation of the photo.

I wish I had a video of the phone to show you just how fast it is - I will definitely take one tomorrow and update here!

A Visit to the Other Westfield #TakePart2012

Before the handball game this morning, we popped by the Galaxy Studio at Westfield Stratford where they gave a drawing challenge to the members of Wave 4!

Limited Edition Team GB Samsung Galaxy S3 Covers #TakePart2012

Everyone wants something with the Union Jack flag on it, and with the Olympics on, it's more popular than ever! There are a couple more limited edition phone covers for the Samsung Galaxy S3 for those who purchase the phone (not from the Samsung PIN). The case is free with purchase. I really like the lion cover!
