Well folks, it’s here. And it’s come in the best way possible. The Galaxy S III is coming to the US, but it’s coming to all of the major US carriers with the exact same price and no outward changes from the global version. The hardware button, the 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED screen–everything is just as it was in the leaked T-Mobile pictures we saw.
The official specs for, again, all models on all carriers is the 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED screen under the safe guard of Gorilla Glass 2.0, a Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor, and an 8MP all packaged in a slim 8.6mm shell weighing in at only 4.7 ounces. The device will launch in both the Marble White and Pebble Blue versions, meaning the production issues Samsung was facing with the Pebble Blue version must be coming to an end. S-Voice, S-Beam, and all the other features of TouchWiz4 on Android 4.0 are coming along for the ride, and in the end this phone is left virtually unchanged from the global version in every aspect but the processor. Samsung does claim though, that the dual-core version will have the same speed and performance as the quad-core version, without sacrificing any battery life. And of course, we cannot forget the GSIII’s 2100 mAh battery which will be sure to last you all day even on the various LTE networks.
The Samsung Galaxy S III will hit Sprint, Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and US Cellular around the same times starting in June. The “exact pricing and dates” will be announced in the coming weeks, with a consistent price starting at $199. We’ll be sure to bring you reviews of this highly anticipated device as soon as we get our hands on a US version.
