For those who owns a Samsung Galaxy S III, there is no harm really to manually check your device if the update is ready for you. Your comments, if you got the update, would be appreciated! 

Samsung unveils new colors of the Galaxy S III

After a successful launching of Samsung's third flagship Android smartphone, the Galaxy S III officially gets 4 new colors you can choose from aside from the two existing white and blue. The new colors are said to be colors found in nature, apparently, continuing their campaign for the device that it is inspired by nature. Anyway, the first color you see up there is the Sapphire Black.

USA: US Cellular starts shipping the Galaxy S III

Over at US Cellular's Facebook page, the US carrier has announced that those customers who pre-ordered the Samsung Galaxy S III should expect their devices to be delivered and be brought at their doorsteps today. US Cellular is selling two versions of the superphone, the 16GB and the 32GB variants.

USA: Verizon to officially launch the Samsung Galaxy S III in July 10 for $199.99 (16GB)

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.

USA: Samsung officially announces the Galaxy S III in the USA - coming to Sprint, AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and US Cellular

Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy S III in the US market and it did solidified some reports of the US version said to be having a dual-core CPU rather than a quad-core and the RAM, yup, the RAM. I think there is not much of a difference between the international version of the Galaxy S III and the US version even in the design. Well, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon all has the same looking Galaxy S III. If Sprint & US Cellular will have a different design so be it. But so far, it looks like all of them will have the same looking SGS III.

PHIL: Globe and Smart to sell the Galaxy S III prepaid kit

Smart and Globe will be selling the prepaid version of the recently launched Samsung Galaxy S III. Surprisingly, though, the two carriers will be offering the said device on different prices. Globe sells the smartphone for Php 29,990 while Smart sells it for Php 31,500. The official SRP of the device is at Php 32,990. Both are selling it at a lower price than that of the SRP but one of them, apparently, sells it even lower.

IND: Samsung officially launches the Galaxy S III in India with an SRP of Rs. 43,180

The Samsung Galaxy S III is also launched in the Indian market with an official price of Rs 43,180. For a start only the 16GB version of the device will be available in the second largest mobile phone market in the world. The 32GB, probably a bit of waiting is needed. Anyway, this Galaxy S III will have 1GB of RAM and not that variant of the same device that will sport 2GB. Needless to say, even if it only has the common 1GB RAM, the smartphone will still be able to do its job without any problems.

AUS: Virgin Mobile, Vodafone, Telstra, and Optus starts selling the Samsung Galaxy S III

The Samsung Galaxy S III in the Australian market is making its way to mot of the country's carriers. Vodafone Australia, Telstra, Optus, and Virgin Mobile are all selling the said smartphone at different prices of course. I won't really dwell too much about what the offer is on each carrier. I'll just leave you with links to the carrier's website and you can check what they have to offer yourself, ayt? Just click on the carrier's name: Vodafone Australia, Virgin Mobile, Optus, Telstra.

As promised, both Globe and Smart have already started taking pre-orders of the Samsung Galaxy S III. They both started it yesterday (May 23) and so far, it is only Globe who has revealed the plans or postpaid plans that you can bundle with the device. Of course, by that we will know which plan will make the smartphone free. Anyway, before I go there, here are the links to the carrier's pre-order pages: Smart and Globe. By the way, Smart says that the device should start shipping by June. Globe on the other hand makes no saying on when the device will arrive.

USA: Amazon puts the Galaxy S III up for pre-order for $799.99 unlocked

The Samsung Galaxy S III has gone up for pre-order in the US via Amazon. Unfortunately though, it's the international Galaxy S III that was showcased back in MWC 2012. What that means is that the device Amazon is letting you pre-order is the one that sports the Samsung Exynos  quad-core chipset which further means that it will not work with the 4G LTE network that almost all US carrier have. Samsung has announced back in MWC 2012 that the US will get their own Galaxy S III specifically designed to work with the country's LTE network. You can head over at Amazon and check it out for yourself. The device is available in either Blue or White.

The Galaxy S III on the other hand is priced over at the same eStore at Rs. 2000. That probably is a typographical error on their part of I do not know what. 

PHIL: Globe to start taking pre-orders of the Samsung Galaxy S III starting May 23

Globe is not going to be slow when it comes to launching the Galaxy S II for sure. Smart has already announced that they will be starting to accept pre-orders of the Galaxy S II on May 23rd so what does the 2nd carrier in the country has to say about that? Well, they will also start taking pre-orders of the SGS3 on the same day. According to Globe, the smartphone will come with their very customizable plans. Unfortunately, the carrier did not mention at what plan the device will come free. Anyway, for those who wants to get the Galaxy S III over at Globe rather than via Smart, head over to this link: http://globe.com.ph/galaxys3. Currently, you really can't do anything on that page aside from looking at that beautiful photo of the phone. You might want to bookmark that page and when May 23 comes, you can then pre-order it online.

Right now that link does not land on any page yet, but it should on or before May 23rd. YugaTech, has also received an email from Smart.

Both networks have tweeted that soon or somewhere around the time the Samsung Galaxy S III is launched in the Philippines, these carriers will be offering them. We have no dates yet so we will have to wait when that actually happens. Anyway, check out some screenshots that I have from these carriers, one very interesting tweet is from Smart, who tweeted a black and white version of the Galaxy S III.

The Samsung Galaxy S III finally unveiled

Samsung has officially unveiled the next iteration of their Galaxy line of high-end smartphones. Unsurprisingly dubbed as the Galaxy S III, the device was proudly presented at Samsung's Unpacked 2012 event in London. Well, design wise, I don't think it will drop all jaws out there, personally, I am a bit disappointed with how the smartphone looks. But where Samsung failed to make my jaw drop with design they compensated with what the phone can actually do and what is inside it. The phone is expected to be shipped starting in Europe by the end of May. The Galaxy S III features the S Voice and the SmartStay S. These two features of the phone are an intuitive voice control (S Voice) and a feature that prevents your SGS III's screen from timing out when you are still "looking" or using it by having the front facing camera as a sensor. Yup! The front facing camera can see you, literally. It also sports a cool feature where the smartphone sleeps when you look away from it! Now that's a jaw dropper right there.
