( CNN ) -- After months of speculation and rumors , the Samsung Galaxy S III has finally been revealed , and yes it is more powerful that you could have ever imagined . Likely to be one of `` the '' phones of the year , the new handset offers just about all the technology you could wish for in a smartphone . There 's the face recognition , the large screen , and plenty of other features that you 'll be dying to show off to your friends and colleagues at every opportunity . Read more : Samsung unveils Galaxy S III smartphone with face , voice recognition . For Samsung it means they truly have a flagship device that can be sung about from the top of the mountain . It 's a device that has the power and capabilities to take on the iPhone 4S , the next iPhone , and pretty much any phone that comes out over the course of the rest of the year . Things could change , but it 's hard to imagine anyone aside from Apple with the capability to create a viable challenger to what Samsung has produced . Great news , you might say . It will sell by the bucket load , and become the de-facto phone for all replacing the iPhone and all that get in its way . Not so fast . The problem the Samsung Galaxy S III will likely face , stopping it becoming the biggest-selling phone of the year , is that all this power , all this might , all this expertise , is likely to be too much for the people who just want a phone . The iPhone is successful not because it features the best screen - it does n't ; not because it features the best design - it does n't ; and not because it uses any of the latest cutting technology - it does n't do that either , but because it is the perfect phone for everyone . Give the iPhone to a 5 year old and they 'll be able to use it . Give the iPhone to a grandparent and they 'll be able to use it . I am not so sure that can be said about the Samsung Galaxy S III and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich . There is no doubting that the features are impressive and the phone stunning in what it can do , and Samsung has created an amazing product . Nine years ago , Samsung was making clamshell phones with small mono displays and 10-key dial-pads . Today it has made a phone that will be seen as a benchmark for manufacturers . Just think about that for a moment . Of course having a phone for everyone does n't need to matter for Samsung . Unlike Apple , Samsung creates and sells a range of different phones for different people in multiple sizes and shapes . This is the phone for the flag bearers , this is the phone for the early adopters and what Samsung is hoping , will be the phone that its other customers will want to look up to , and eventually have . The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Stuart Miles .
Note : Samsung Galaxy S III is the phone for the flag bearers . The phone has all the technology you could wish for in a smartphone , he says . It has the power to work on the iPhone 4S and any phone that comes out during the year . But its might and expertise is likely to be too much for people who just want a phone , says Miles .
