Introduction

Samsung Galaxy S III is without a doubt the best phone with multimedia capabilities to date. Its beautiful 4.8 inch Super AMOLED display with 720p HD resolution and a quad-core Exynos processor create a perfect hardware combination for watching video on the go. On the software size, Galaxy S3 sports the most advanced video player of the Galaxy series. Besides great new features, like video thumbnails with real-time video preview and support for multiple sound title tracks, the phone will have no trouble with most video formats you throw at it. Galaxy S3 of course fully supports most popular video formats out of the box - .WMV, .AVI (DivX and XviD), .MP4 and .MKV (H.264). A high end Exynos processor can handle video of any resolution, even large files with Full HD resolution will work like a charm.

To ensure your videos play on Samsung Galaxy S3 with hardware decoding and hence optimal battery management, we recommend using SoundTaxi with "H.264 with original picture size" conversion profile.
