Rumor has it that a purple Samsung Galaxy S3 is heading towards the US and it will most likely be knocking solely on Sprint’s doors. Already available in a number of color options such as white, black, red and more, the smartphone could be emerging in America after taking a dip in the said hue sometime in mid-April.
With that said, it is still undeclared whether this variant of the S3 will be made available in any other markets. The picture seen below is that of the handset radiating purple which has been given out by @evleaks, a reliable source for delivering significant rumors.
Seeing as it has been a while ever since the smartphone initially peeped out, let’s run through the device’s core specifications. Measuring 136.6mm x 70.6mm x 8.6mm in dimensions, it tips the scales at 133 grams. The front surface flaunts a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display encasing a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels, together with a 1.9MP front-mounted webcam.
The device had been optimized for Ice Cream Sandwich upon its launch, only to receive the Jelly Bean update eventually. It had originally been engineered to house a quad core CPU, but judging by the carrier’s history of crafting it with a dual core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus processor, it’s safe to say the upcoming variant too will be arriving with the same SoC.
An 8MP camera is seen protruding from the flip side featuring auto focus, HD recording and zero shutter lag. As opposed to the usual models which possess a system memory of 1GB, carrier-specific smartphones in America have been shipping with 2GB of RAM. The device’s 2,100mAh battery should be able to render standby of roughly 12.5 days for 3G and up to 8 days for 4G users.
The purple S3 has yet to be authenticated, thus brushing off any expectations of a plausible price. But we have no reasons to believe that it will be made available at a retail value different from the existing models. This means people can look forward to it striking stores starting at $549.99 or $99.99 when clubbed with a service contract.
Anticipated specifications:
– Display: 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED
– OS: Android 4.1 OS
– Processor: 1.5GHz dual core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus
– 8MP main and 1.9MP secondary cameras
– 2,100mAh battery
