The release date of the Samsung Galaxy S III (aka S3) is 'early June' -- you can pre-order an unlocked unit now. But there's a catch: If you want it with an LTE radio, you'll have to wait a bit longer. In IT Blogwatch, bloggers grumble and read the rooted rumor runes.  By Richi Jennings: Your humble blogwatcher curated these bloggy bits for your entertainment. Not to mention: Cosplay N00b? Watch this... Vlad Bobleanta impaled himself on an Amazon search:
Jon Fingas fingers the rest of the story:
How much? Akansha Srivastava suggests a less-expensive option: [You] can also order the new S3 for $694.99 over at Expansys. So Ryan Whitwam is extremely bullish:
And Jan Vermeulen looks forward to some good old consumer choice: [T]his year’s super-phone battle will soon be in full swing. But Stefan Constantinescu is being a bit of a party-pooper: For [$800] you can get two Galaxy Nexus phones straight from Google. There’s also the “geek tax”...the price that nerds pay...just to be the first to own something. Within a month [it] will probably be at least $100 cheaper. Meanwhile, there's good news for would-be tinkerers:

Samsung Galaxy S3 has got a price cut in India, and is available for Rs. 34900 from select online retailers in India. TheGalaxy S3 was launched in India in May for a MRP of Rs. 43,180, and the Garnet Red version went on sale last week for a MOP of Rs. 37,500. The Galaxy S3 price is now on-par with the HTC One X . This price cut might also be due to the launch the upcoming launch of Galaxy Note 2 in India. The Galaxy S III packs in a 4.8 inch (720 x 1280 pixels) Super AMOLED display, 1.4GHz Quad-Core processor and runs on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). It has 8MP auto focus camera with LED flash and 1.9MP front facing camera with HD recording at 30fps and face recognition. It has 1GB RAM, 16GB of internal memory and comes with a 2,100 mAh battery. The Samsung Galaxy S3 is now available for Rs. 34,900 from online retailers Saholic and Flipkart in India.
Samsung has taken the lid off the new Galaxy S3, proudly boasting about its enormous screen and improved processor. But when are you going to be able to take one home for yourself, and how much will you have to shell out? General availability here in good old Blighty will be from 30 May, says Samsung, which is sooner than we expected -- we're used to having to wait yonks before running our quivering fingers over new toys. Three is your cheapest option if you want the phone for free. It's offering it on a £34 per month contract with unlimited data, 2,000 minutes (plus 5,000 Three-to-Three minutes), and 5,000 texts. Vodafone will give you the phone for free too, but you'll have to be on a contract of at least £41 to get it. You'll get 2GB of data, unlimited texts and 900 minutes for your money. Getting the phone for free on O2 will set you back £46 per month, for which you'll receive unlimited texts and minutes and 1GB of data. A £50 outlay will pocket you the phone with T-Mobile on a £36 per month contract, with unlimited data and texts and 2,000 minutes. Orange hasn't confirmed its plans yet so we'll have to wait and see if it'll be undercutting Three. All operators offer the phone on a range of tariffs. The rule to bear in mind is the cheaper the contract, the more money you'll have to pay up front. It's often more economical to buy the phone SIM-free and get a cheap SIM-only plan, but of course, you will need to save up £500 to do that. Check out our Galaxy S3 deals page and look at which networks have the best plan for your needs. Virgin Media is also jumping on the S3 bandwagon, as it plans to offer the phone on its own plans, although it hasn't been forthcoming with pricing details yet. If you prefer SIM-free then Amazon is offering the phone by itself, which will set you back a cool £500. Alternatively, head to Carphone Warehouse on 30 May, where you can also pick it up SIM-free. Maybe you could convince them to give you one of those new cases free. For that spicy price, you'll get a stonking 4.8-inch screen, a meaty 1.4GHz quad-core processor, an updated design and a whole host of software tweaks to Ice Cream Sandwich. Check out our full preview for more info. I'll be updating this article as soon as the other networks announce their intentions and pricing plans, so bookmark this page and come back soon. |
