The Sprint Galaxy S III has been wildly successful to say the least. Approaching 60 million global units in sales, the handset is easily one of the best selling smartphones of all time. By delivering an exceptionally slim and light phone, but also adding decent battery performance, a large high-resolution screen and tons of software and hardware features which made the Galaxy S III an award-winning phone, the device still sells exceptionally well.
The Samsung Galaxy S III 16GB is available for a reduced sale price now starting at $0.01.
But when the phone first arrived last year, it was running on the Sprint 3G network. However, towards the end of the year Sprint had grown their new 4G LTE network in the United States to over 58 markets, and good news just came for Galaxy S III owners and shoppers in Michigan in the United States. Sprint Nextel has officially begun rolling out its 4G LTE system in Michigan, and while the 3G network for Sprint is blazing fast and more than capable, 4G LTE speeds will now be available in St. Joseph/Benton Harbor and Lansing/East Lansing, the first markets in Michigan to be covered by the Sprint 4G LTE network.
During the recent announcement, Sprint also revealed plans to offer 4G LTE support in Grand Rapids, Allegan, Battle Creek, Ann Arbor, Mount Pleasant and Flint, Michigan “in the coming months.” When Sprint launched their first-ever 4G LTE system last year in the United States, they made a vow to cover a significant portion of the US by the end of 2013. Promises are easy to make, and sometimes hard to deliver. However, Sprint has already reached over 110 markets in the United States, with company officials aiming for 200 million people in the US with LTE coverage by the end of the year.
The Galaxy S III 4G Android smartphone hit Sprint in June of last year, and still enjoys incredible popularity and sales support despite closing in on its one year anniversary. Many smartphones have peaked and disappeared in much less time, and the slim 0.34 inch (8.6 mm) profile and lightweight 4.70 ounce (132 g) weight of the handset continue to make it exceptionally portable. So to does the 9.2 hours of talk time from a full battery charge, and the large 4.80 inch True HD display delivers more than 16 million colors.
306 pixels per inch translate into an overall resolution of 720 by 1,280 pixels, on a display which is protected by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 2. The Snapdragon S4 Plus central processor has been clocked at 1.5 GHz, and joins 2.0 GB of RAM memory and a microSD slot in the handset’s hardware profile. The 16 GB Sprint Galaxy S III currently sells for $0.01 on contract at select online retail outlets, and a 32 GB model is also available.
The Samsung Galaxy S III 16GB can be purchased at a discounted price tag now starting at $0.01.
