For example is the contender for iPhone’s Siri called S-Voice which behaves as a natural language processing application.

With S-Voice, now every time you are awaken by the “annoying” alarm of this phone, you can just simply say “Snooze” to turn off the alarm and it will wake you up again few minutes later.

The other cool thing that can be enjoyed on this phone is the built-in 1.9MP front facing camera that can identify when your eyes are on the screen to keep the screen in bright condition or turn it off when you’re not looking at the screen.

Samsung GALAXY S III will also be equipped with NFC or Near Field Communication and can be really handy when doing mobile payment or transferring files in short distance. Not to mention, this phone has also been injected with the latest Android 4.0 or Ice Cream Sandwich OS.
