In the past few months we heard the rumor that the Samsung Galaxy S3 could be charged without a wire numerous times. Yesterday Samsung confirmed that it is indeed possible to charge your Galaxy S III by using a wireless charging kit.
Of course, charging by wire is still possible (and probably faster), but you can also buy a special add on that will allow you to charge your phone if it lay’s somewhere near the kit.
While the Galaxy S III will be released on May 29th in Europe, customers in the US will have to wait a bit longer before Samsung’s new flagship will be launched.
Samsung has created a special page on their website that will allow you to fill in your contact details. This way Samsung can keep you up to date with the latest information on the US release.
At the end of the Samsung Mobile Unpacked event, Samsung had one little surprise: A new retail and marketing strategy.
The company will create glass-housed stores around the world, in which you will be able to explore the Galaxy S III yourself, and of course buy it (with or without contract) if you like it.
Right after the Galaxy S III was announced, various video’s showed up around the web showing Samsung’s new flagship. Some of the video’s where shot at the live event, while others had the chance to play with the phone earlier.
In this post, we have made a round up of some of the best hands-on video’s that are currently available. We will start of with Samsungs Official hands on video:
Since the Samsung Galaxy S3 is Samsung latest flagship device, we can expect a huge international PR campaign to promote the new Galaxy.
During the Samsung Mobile Unpacked event Samsung gave us a look at the TV commercial that will introduce the S III to the general public. Let’s have a look at the commercial!
As we had expected, the Samsung Galaxy S3 has been officially announced during the Samsung Mobile Unpacked event.
Here is a quick list of the specifications:
This post will be updated later!
Today is the day we have been waiting for for months. At 7pm BST the Samsung Mobile Unpacked event will start in London.
Don’t worry if you where not invited to the event, Samsung has been so kind to set up a free live stream of the event!
The event can be seen viewed from Samsung Mobile’s facebook page or you can also download the Samsung Unpacked app from the google play store if you want to view the event with your mobile phone.
In case of the facebook stream going down, you can also try out http://www.thenextgalaxy.com/ for a live stream!
GSMarena has received an anonymous tip showing the inventory system of a company called Carphone Warehouse. On the picture taken from the inventory there is visible that the Samsung Galaxy S3 will be available in blue and white.
This is not the first time we have heard about these colors, since the invite for the Samsung Mobile Unpacked event also featured the colors blue and white.
We have heard various rumors that the Samsung Galaxy S3 might have a ceramic back in the past. If true, this will be a great improvement from the plastic back the Galaxy S2 used. According to various users the back of the Galaxy S2 felt a bit cheap.
A few days ago, Eldar Murtazin (who is known for his great connections in the industry) posted the picture you see above. With it he posted the following message:
Love white glossy finish on phones.
Although a successor of the Samsung Galaxy S2 was announced months ago, the name of this mobile phone has been as mysterious as the phone itself.
After the Samsung Galaxy S and Samsung Galaxy S II, the Samsung Galaxy S III looks like the logical choice. But in the ad campaign towards the May 3rd Samsung Mobile Unpacked event, Samsung was talking about “The Next Galaxy”.
During a recent press conference Samsung finally mentioned the Samsung Galaxy S3.
