Verizon Wireless, AT&T Mobility, Sprint Nextel, T-Mobile USA and U.S. Cellular will get the Samsung Galaxy S III this summer. Samsung is calling the phone “the most anticipated launch of the year,” and its success so far with pre-orders makes that claim sound plausible.
The Galaxy S III features a 4.8-inch screen (versus 3.5-inch for the iPhone 4S), and weighs in at 4.7 ounces. Its Music Hub service will compete with Spotify and iCloud, offering a 19 million song library thanks to Samsung’s recent purchase of MSpot.
Verizon Wireless says the Samsung Galaxy S III will be available online for pre-order starting June 6 at and will be available in retail stores shortly thereafter. Verizon Wireless has not yet announced pricing details.
Sprint Nextel says online pre-orders will start on June 5 and the phone will be available on June 21. With a two-year service agreement, the 16GB model will retail for $200 and the 32GB version for $250.
T-Mobile USA will have the phone June 21, and U.S.
Cellular says the phone will be available for customers to pre-order on June 12 and will be in stores and online in July. Neither carrier has announced pricing yet. AT&T Mobility has not yet released dates or details, but the company has posted a preview page to share updates on the Galaxy S III.
