They come out clear, sharp, and in focus.\u00a0 Samsung has also included several different photo modes such as its burst mode (which can take 20 pictures in about 5 seconds) and panorama.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the Galaxy S III has everything you need if you want a top of the line phone.\u00a0 Its removable battery and expandable memory will help expand the devices life and usefulness.\u00a0 The only drawback is the phone\u2019s size.\u00a0 While it is still able to fit in your pocket comfortably, it is by no means unnoticeable.\u00a0 However, people willing to make this tradeoff on size for the increased screen real estate will not be upset with their choice.\u00a0 AT&amp;T offers 3 colors to users.\u00a0 Mabel white, pebble blue, and garnet red.<\/p>\n<h3>Grab yours now:<\/h3>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.att.com\/shop\/wireless\/devices\/samsung\/galaxy-s-iii-pebble-blue.html\">AT&amp;T.com: $199.99<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B007VCRRNS\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B007VCRRNS&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=9490-20&tag=luupwebsite-20\">Amazon.com: $586.00<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3>This review and many more brought to you by TechiTeens Technology Services.
