1. Samsung Galaxy S III

My, my — isn’t this a lovely phone? The heavily anticipated Samsung Galaxy S3 III was finally revealed this week, and it looks just as beautiful as its spy pics. The third-generation handset in the Galaxy series improves upon its forebears, bringing a relatively huge 4.8-inch touchscreen, a faster camera with near-zero shutter lag and the latest Ice Cream Sandwich version of Android.

It’s packing serious horsepower under its hood, too, running a 1.4GHz quad-core processor that Samsung says is twice as powerful as its predecessor, and consuming 20% less battery power. It even has speech recognition capabilities similar to the iPhone’s Siri. I particularly like its “Pebble Blue” color, but it’s also available in white, shipping this month in Europe and everywhere else in the world this summer.

This week, the tech came rushing at us at a frenetic pace, more futuristic than ever. Even though all of the products and designs we picked this week look like they came straight out of a science fiction movie, some of them harken back to their heritage in the previous century.

This week, we spotted a trio of sensational smartphones, two of which are now available and one that might be in a few months. We found a couple of the most exciting aircraft we’ve seen in a long time, a watery hotel with the most spectacular view ever. Add to that a couple of devices that will ease the burden on road warriors and an astounding audio device whose powerful punch belies its diminutive stature, and you have a complete complement of technological goodness.

Browse through our Top 10 Tech This Week, where even if you haven’t had a spare second to check the pulse of the week’s technology, we’ll catch you up right here in short order.

Here’s last week’s Top 10 Tech.
