After surfacing in the UK, the Samsung Galaxy S III pre-orders are ready to kick off via Amazon in the US. Pre-bookings start at a price of $799.99 for the GT-i9300 that is the globally shipping model of the smartphone in question.
The handset is available in 2 color choices of white or blue. The former is slated to reach users by June 1, while the latter should be up for grabs by May 29. Those intending to save some amount of money can purchase it from one of the non-featured sales channels on the online retailer’s site.
The Galaxy smartphone delivered to pre-order customers will operate on AT&T’s HSPA network. This should bring in the 4G HSPA+ network connectivity at places where the carrier provides it. However, the LTE data speed is out of question considering that the aforesaid variant is not compatible with it.
Moreover, T-Mobile loyalists will not be able to avail of the HSPA network as this particular device does not support the 1700 band. Likewise, Sprint and Verizon will not be able to carry this variant as it’s not a CDMA handset, as mentioned on Unwired View.
This offer should be ideal for those who’re not over the moon for LTE connectivity and wish to lay hands on the phone at the earliest. The device features a 4.8-inch display and an 8MP snapper amongst other attributes. It has a suite of handy software applications including S Beam, Face Unlock and more.
Till then, those not in favor of the chase can sit back and relax till the Samsung Galaxy S III officially lands in the US.
