Aside from announcing, officially, the launching of the Droid Incredible 4G LTE, the US' largest carrier also announced that their Samsung Galaxy S III will be available starting July 10. Two versions of the superphone will be available, the 16GB and the 32GB. The price you read in this post's title is for the 16GB. The 32GB SGS III will be priced at $249.99 both with a 2-year contract. Like the Droid Incredible 4G LTE, Verizon's SGS III will also be a 4G LTE device and is the US' first 2GB RAM smartphone (unless LG launches their own 2GB RAM smartphone in the US ahead of Samsung). Since the device will feature 4G LTE connectivity, it won't carry the quad-core Samsung Exynos processor instead it will be sporting a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 chipset.
