Few
reports surfaced at the popular XDA Developer Forum stating that the Samsung
Galaxy S III dies without any reason.
A
new problem with Samsung's best-selling smartphone, Galaxy S III, has been
found. According to a report of Reddit, which quoted a number of Galaxy SIII
users, the smartphone just dies suddenly without any legible reason. The main
culprit is being cited as the phone's mainboard.
Samsung
Galaxy S III is a packed with powerful hardware and HD display. It packs the
Samsung Exynos 4412 mobile processor and 1 GB RAM. The same processor Exynos 4
was reported of carrying a potential security threat from a kernel level
exploit. Samsung acknowledged the existence of this issue and will be releasing
a software update to fix it.
As
per the Reddit post, the users simply woke up to find their Galaxy S III dead
and could not be started even after every possible hack tested out. A user
noted that Samsung has been replacing such devices with unidentifiable reason
without any questions. Speculations point at the motherboard failure issue and
it is rare by nature.
First
of all, this is not a wide spread issue and has not been found in large number
of devices. Secondly, if you happen to face such situation, simply try changing
the charger/charging cables or different power socket. Out of millions of smartphones
manufactured in batches, there is always a small per cent of devices that come
with manufacturing defect. Thankfully Samsung first tests to confirm the error
and replaces the unit without any question.
Samsung
Galaxy S III is being sold in India for Rs. 32,500 approximately and has a
4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED capacitive display. It packs a quad-core Exynos 4412
and 1 GB RAM. It features the new Nature UX, S Voice, and several other
features with 2100 mAh battery to power all.
