Those expecting the 64GB Samsung Galaxy S3 to knock on Clove’s doors are in for a bit of a shock. The e-retailer has announced that it will not be stocking the largest memory version of the handset in spite of revealing its availability for pre-order a few weeks ago.
Since the demand for the smartphone didn’t match up to the company’s expectations, the online retailer has apologized through a post on the official Clove blog for being unable to ship in the 64GB handset for the UK market. Nevertheless, it puts forth the option of purchasing other devices with more or less the same storage. For instance, the HTC One X+ possesses 64GB onboard memory.
Expansys, however, claims to have been doing its best to lay hands on as many 64GB units of the smartphone in question as it possibly can. On the other hand, it is in stock on Amazon and it is pegged at around £600.
Shedding some light on the 64GB black Galaxy S3 specifications, the device shares the same features with its less spacious siblings, except for difference in the storage capacity, of course. The 133 gram smartphone measures 136.6mm x 70.6mm x 8.6mm in dimensions and runs on the Android Ice Cream Sandwich OS.
A 4.8-inch super AMOLED touchscreen display spreads across the front panel, flaunting a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, while the flip side holds an 8MP camera packed with features like auto focus, LED flash and zero shutter lag. The snapper has been designed to not only click stills but also record full HD videos. Fitted above the HD touchscreen, is a 1.9MP webcam well-suited for face-to-face conversations.
A 1.4GHz quad core processor thrown in along with 1GB of RAM furnishes the smartphone with the speed required to carry out its mundane functions. For browsing needs users can take advantage of Wi-Fi and 3G, while NFC, Bluetooth 4.0 and DLNA stand to be the device’s additional connectivity highlights. A 2100mAh battery supplies power to the handset to operate smoothly.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 can be purchased in its 16GB and 32GB models, although only Amazon hoards the 64GB variant of the smartphone as of now in the UK.
