Supposedly it's coming to the US in June, but won't get the quad core processor. It's going to be getting a dual core Snapdragon processor so it can be compatible with 4G. Of course this is info is still not technically official yet.

nmjaxx9 · 05-06-2012, 12:09 PM

just saw early reviews/pics/videos, def gonna get this as my upgrade.

I am a bit yes and no on the S3, put such a high expectation on it but numbers of benchmark results are showing it is even slower than the dual-core CPU

Will wait for couple more reviews before making a decision.

And also have to see how much does it cost when it comes out on the 29th.

b1adesofcha0s · 05-08-2012, 09:26 AM

Sadly the 29th is only the European release date.

US retail are going to sell it for around $800 range, it is quite steep...

I went to eXpansys HK they are selling for around$760, which is not bad...

Well in the US it will probably end up being $300 with a new 2 year contract, just like every other new phone that comes out. Shouldn't be a problem if you can buy it with a new contract and get the discounted price. Lucky for me, I can upgrade my phone and get the discounted price

Looks like Canada will be getting the S3 on June 20th. They are getting one with 1.5 GHz dual core snapdragon processor and 2 GB of RAM. No details about a US version yet, but most likely it will be the same as the Canadian one. Samsung's world tour for the S3 will be in NYC on June 20th so maybe that will be the release date for the phone here too.

I gave up on that a while ago. I already have Verizon so no need to switch. Not giving up like 3 weeks before the phone might come out after waiting like 6 months

Though I hear the Razr HD is supposed to come out in Q3

SgtGoldy · 06-02-2012, 05:45 AM

Looking forward to the Droid Fighter AKA Droid Razr HD AKA Droid Vanquish. I'm rolling the Droid Razr right now!
