The Galaxy S II HDMI adaptor says no to Galaxy S3 i9300

Are you an owner of the Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300? Have you ever tried the MHL/HDMI adaptors compatible with Galaxy S II and Galaxy Nexus and found them unable to work with your Samsung i9300? Then you are not the single case, and many other i9300 users have also made this attempt but failed. It of course comes as not small disappointment for most Samsung i9300 users, since they spend extra money in buying the compatible Samsung i9300 accessories.

The incompatibility mainly lies in the different design of micro USB MHL jacket, where there is major adjustment in pins. So if the i9300 owners want to enjoy the same performance as Galaxy S II, then they have to buy the new HDMI adaptors for￡24. If this is an software issue, then it may seen plausible for the Galaxy S III user, but the truth is that these two adaptors share the same working modes and functionalities, and both of them can display the contents of the smartphone onto the HD monitors or TV.

So this is a problem of hard ware, and there is no way but to buy the new accessories on the part of users. But the customers have good reason to blame the smartphone makers: why can’t they offer customers the convenience while they have total ability to do so? As far as the maker is concerned, their top priority is to make the design of devices as polished and unique as possible, and give little attention as to whether the change will bring to the customers.

While for the customers, they wish that the accessories of smartphones under the same series can be compatible for each other. A typical example is the iPhone accessories, which are compatible with all those iPhone models. So when the iPhone owners substitute their old iPhone with the latest version, then they do not have to buy extra accessories. But the truth is that the iPhone accessories seem slight expensive than that for other smartphones.

So if you are a Galaxy S3 i9300 owner, then set down your grumble and buy the new Samsung accessories, after all, they are more affordable than iPhone accessories.
