When talking about LTE coverage in US shores, Verizon is still the league leader with the width and breadth of its LTE network. AT&T is at the second spot while Sprint is at third with its nascent LTE network. As for AT&T, the wireless provider may be at second place but it still needs to cover a lot of ground if it has plans of getting within striking distance of Big Red. AT&T however is not sleeping on that and is actually putting into place an expansionist plan of action with regard to expanding its LTE coverage in our side of the world.
In fact, AT&T is doing just that with the recent announcement the carrier made that its 4G LTE network is now up and running in Little Rock, AR. This means that users of the Samsung Galaxy S III in and around the area can now have access to blistering mobile internet speeds in their location. In addition to that, the carrier also announced that its LTE network in Florida is also getting expanded as of the moment to provided additional coverage to the following locations:
- Key West
- Big Pine Key
- Lower Keys
- Marathon
- Islamorada
- Key Largo
Not only that, LTE coverage in Bakersville, CA should also see expanded coverage with this latest expansion that the carrier is undertaking.
As for the Samsung Galaxy S III, the handset still remains as one of the more capable devices available in the market today and is actually one of the best-selling devices in AT&T’s portfolio of Android-powered devices. In fact, the Samsung flagship device is very popular on a global scale wherein the sales figures of the handset have already hit the 30 million mark since its release in the latter parts of May. And what’s more interesting is that the popularity of the handset did not diminish even if Apple scored a monumental victory against the Korean electronics giant in their high-profile patent trial. Not only that, not even the release of the iPhone 5 slowed down the sales of the Samsung Galaxy S III and with the upcoming holiday season, we can only expect the handset to sell even more.
Under the hood, the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S III runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich but is slated to get upgraded to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean in the near future. Its operation is powered by the handset’s QualComm MSM8960 SnapDragon chipset which comes with a dual-core 1.5 GHz Krait processor and a whopping 2GB of RAM. In terms of storage space, the Samsung Galaxy S III comes with 16GB of internal memory but a user has the option to have this expanded using the microSD card slot of the device. Display-wise, the handset sports a 4.8-inch SuperAMOLED HD panel with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels while its camera department features a rear 8MP shooter and a front 1.9MP snapper.
You can buy the Samsung Galaxy S III for a reduced price tag now starting at 99.99.
