In another recent tear-down, where display's touch accuracy was being tested, Samsung's 2012 outdated flagship, the Galaxy S III beats the new Apple manufactured iPhone 5S's and 5C's touch panel. This robotic test was conducted by OptoFidelity's Touch Panel Performance Tester (TPPT) department, where the new releases from the Americans failed to the South Koreans.As the sources claims, when the results were out, it was hard to believe, as seen clearly, the Samsung made Galaxy S III's touch response to the robots were comparatively high in all areas when compared to the iPhone's. The green area is reportedly the measurement within in one millimeter of accuracy, while red marked area indicates the measurement of inaccuracy, which is basically more than one millimeter and the black circles showing the points where the test robot has touched a sensor.
To be more clear, the red circles pictured above is the result where the device has not reacted to the robotic fingers touch at all, and it is proven that, other than the keyboard area, the new iPhone's seems to be lacking the response that showed up in the Samsung's Galaxy S III.

Samsung is building up an Operating System. Well if you don't know what it is all about, it is named Tizen. And now we have leaked pictures of a Samsung Galaxy Galaxy S III running Tizen Operating System, version 3.0.
This South Korean Operating System was no stranger for news, rumors and leaks a few months back, but after a long term of silence, we are now being reported that this same Operating Systems are being spotted on Samsung devices like the Galaxy S 4 previously and S III now. At this perspective the lockscreen in the above image, some how resembles what we have already seen on an Android or Windows Phone.
This Operating System is reported to be the Linux-based variant, from the works of the South Korean electronics manufacturer and American multinational semiconductor chip maker corporation, Samsung and Intel. We also heard rumors of Samsung eventually skipping the Google's Android Operating System for their upcoming smartphone and will start introducing the self-made Tizen OS. But as the words to be quoted, these are just flying rumors and we seriously know the importance of Android Operating System in the Samsung devices, so we don't take anything for granted.
