The Samsung Galaxy S III India price is finally out for all prospective users in the country. After setting foot in the UK just recently, the smartphone is all set to travel the world.
Close to a week back, pre-orders for the phone kicked off via the official Samsung India page. A registration fee of Rs. 2,000 was being accepted by the company’s eStore, though there was no word on the price and release date. The smartphone brings with it a delicious scoop of ICS and gets its fuel from an 1.4GHz quad core Samsung Exynos Quad processor. It carries an array of intuitive features like S Voice, Smart Stay, Smart Alert and more. Its front panel is dominated by a 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED touchscreen proffering images in resolutions of 1280 × 720p.
H C Ryu, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Samsung Electronics, commented, “India is one of the top 3 strategic markets in the world for Samsung Electronics and it is therefore only natural that India is one of the first countries where the World Tour for the Galaxy S III is being held .The Galaxy S III is being launched in India at the same time as it is being launched in other markets. Through the launch of our aspirational, world best Galaxy S III in India, we will create fresh excitement in the market and stimulate demand.”
The handset is equipped with an 8MP snapper on the back panel as well as a front-facing sensor. All the hardware components are fitted into a sleek profile that is aimed at reflecting the elements of nature. The device is available in memory choices of 16GB and 32GB, while a 64GB version is said to be on the cards too. The user memory can be expanded via a slot provided for a 64GB microSD card. It offers NFC capability along with an altered version of Android Beam, namely S Beam. Simply tapping 2 Samsung Galaxy S III units together is touted to transfer a 10MB music file or a 1GB movie between the 2 phones, even when there’s no cellular or Wi-Fi network.
For now, we are expecting both the pebble blue and marble white variants to ship, in spite of the speculated supply issues. The Samsung Galaxy S III India price for the 16GB version is Rs. 48,180. For enthusiasts who think the price is too steep, HomeShop18.com is vending it at a discounted tag of Rs. 38,900 and also tossing in the free Bluetooth accessory. Several other sellers have it on offer at various prices below the MRP too.
