The Samsung Galaxy S III is without a doubt the greatest success story in the smartphone world in 2012. This is not surprising at all given the fact that the handset is the current flagship device of the Korean smartphone and tablet manufacturer and with this status comes impressive components under its hood and even more impressive capabilities to boast of. Because of this, the popularity of the Samsung Galaxy S III shot off the charts and one only has to look at the 30 million sales figures achieved by the handset since its release in May to know that this is true.
The Galaxy S III for Verizon is available for a reduced sale price now starting at $9.99.
The handset has earned a lot of good reviews since it hit the shelves but this is already expected because the Samsung Galaxy S III is a magnificent piece of technology bundled in a smartphone. The handset was released by all major wireless providers in US shores (and several not too major ones as well) and the Samsung superphone inevitably found itself at the top of every carrier’s bestsellers list. Such is the popularity of the handset that not even the loss suffered by Samsung at the hands of Apple in their patent trial or the release of the iPhone 5 slowed down the sales of the handset in any way.
However, the new year also means that a new iteration of the Galaxy S could already be in the works. More recently, there have been a lot of rumors surrounding the existence of the Samsung Galaxy S IV, the supposed successor of the Samsung Galaxy S III but all of these remain unsubstantiated. But if there’s one rumor that really caught our attention is that the Samsung Galaxy S IV be unveiled as early as March.
This was supposed to have been revealed by a Samsung executive who also confirmed that the Korean electronics giant is still undecided whether to unveil its next flagship device in the UK, in its hometown of South Korea or in the US. Again, these are all unconfirmed reports and have to taken with a grain of salt but it would definitely be nice if we get to see the next Samsung Galaxy S IV as early as March, wouldn’t it.
In the meantime, the Samsung Galaxy S III is still expected to make a killing in the shelves and the sales performance of the handset can only be expected to slow down once its successor gets officially unveiled. Though that may be the case, there is no doubt that the Samsung Galaxy S III is still one of the more powerful devices in the market today. It has its circuitry built around its QualComm MSM8960 SnapDragon chipset which brings into lay a dual-core 1.5 GHz Krait processor and a whopping 2GB of RAM. The handset is available in a 16GB and 32GB variant in terms of storage space but a microSD card slot in its chassis enables memory expansion on the Samsung Galaxy S III. In terms of its display, the Samsung Galaxy S III sports a massive 4.8-inch SuperAMOLED HD panel with a 1280 x 720 resolution while its camera department boasts of an 8MP shooter in its back panel and a 1.9MP snapper at its front bezel.
You can purchase the Galaxy S III for Verizon at a discounted price tag now starting at $9.99.
