Everyone must have been pretty optimistic over Android’s future with the announcement of the Samsung Galaxy S4 yesterday evening, and it does lead us to the question – what would then happen to the Samsung Galaxy S3, the outgoing flagship model? The answer would be this – it will still hang around for some time, and if Samsung has their way, the South Korean conglomerate would also bring along non-hardware dependent features on the Galaxy S4 over to the Galaxy S3.

I guess with that, we can more or less rule out stuff like Air View that requires special hardware to make the smartphone sense just when and where your finger is hovering right above the display, and neither will we see a smart TV remote app since there is no integrated IR blaster in the Galaxy S3. As for the S Health fitness tracker app, forget about it, since the Galaxy S3 misses out on a built-in pedometer. Chances are there that we will see camera features and an improved eye tracking functionality thrown in, and why not venture forward and claim that the Galaxy Note 2, too, will also be a beneficiary of advances made in the Galaxy S4 down the road?

Ever heard of Monster Watts before? They sure as heck sound as though they were a company that rolled out audio products, no? Well, Monster Watts is an innovator of power accessories that will cater for both sides of the divide, and I am referring to both Apple and Samsung cmaps here. This time around, the favor lies on folks who prefer to put their weight behind the Samsung brand name, as Monster Watts has a trio of wireless chargers which were specially thought up of for the Samsung Galaxy S3.

I know, most of you out there would be looking forward to nothing but the Samsung Galaxy S4 this coming March 14th, but in the meantime, do remember that the Galaxy S3 still remains the flagship smartphone for Samsung. At least for a couple more days, that is! Having said that. the Samsung Galaxy S3 has been considered by certain quarters to be the most advanced wireless phone to date, but for what it is worth, it still needs to be plugged in to a power outlet whenever its battery levels plummet south.

With Monster Watts’ trio of wireless chargers for the Galaxy S3, you no longer need to fumble with messy cables at night, and neither will you pull the charger out of the wall to answer a call, by accident, break the connector or drop the phone. No sir, kiss those incidences goodbye, as your Galaxy S3 will now gain wireless charging capability within seconds.

Of course, you still have the choice of falling back to the standard issue wall charger if the need arises, but that is entirely your choice. The first Stealth wireless receiver and charger set is a snap to install, as the former is ultra-thin and fits under the S3’s existing back cover without much fuss, retailing for $68 a pop. As for the second Simple wireless receiver back cover and charger set, it is also easy to install, adding around 1 mm to the thickness and will retail for $98. The third Super Pack model will come in the form of an external case that has a built-in wireless receiver and rechargeable back up battery, requiring you to slide the Galaxy S3 into it, and it will be the most expensive of the lot at $118.

I know that most of the world is looking forward to the Samsung Galaxy S4 in the upcoming Samsung Unpacked event that is happening in New York City later this coming March 14th, but spare a thought for its soon-to-be outdated predecessor, the Galaxy S3. The Samsung Galaxy S3 has proven to be phenomenally successful across many markets, and it arrives in the form of several variants, including an LTE-capable model which will eventually arrive on T-Mobile, especially after we have seen the T-Mobile Galaxy S3 with LTE support hitting the FCC.

Sporting the model number T999 originally (makes it sound a whole lot cooler as though it represented one of those killer Terminator robots, no?), a new T999L model number has been caught in the wild for some time now, with the “L” suffix seemingly pointing towards LTE connectivity. It does seem as though the LTE-capable version of the Galaxy S3 will be arriving on T-Mobile very, very soon – less than a month, actually. Will you pick this up, or would you rather make the straight jump to the Galaxy S4?

Commercials for Samsung’s Galaxy devices are usually spent bashing the competition, that is unless it’s changing your perception of Mrs. Claus. They’ve recently bashed the iPhone 5, and are once again setting their sights on Apple’s smartphone, as well as RIM’s BlackBerry devices.

The new Samsung commercial was created to hopefully change the minds of business users who have trusted their business needs to a BlackBerry device, while at the same time, throwing iPhone users in there who separate their business and personal phones while at the workplace. At one point in the commercial, an extremely cool employee was able to use his Galaxy Note 2 to conduct business and watch a basketball game, while his boring cubicle mate continue to praise his BlackBerry device.

We could see why Samsung would go after Apple’s iPhone in their previous commercials, but we think their kicking a dead horse, especially when that horse reported a $114m loss just last month, is a bit much. Maybe they came up with the idea for this commercial fearing what RIM has up its sleeve with BlackBerry 10?
