Samsung GALAXY S III Now Up for Pre-Order at Amazon Germany for 600 EUR (790 USD)

Samsung GALAXY S III Now Up for Pre-Order at Amazon Germany for 600 EUR (790 USD)
With only two weeks left until Samsung will take the wraps off its next generation Galaxy S III device, the smartphone has just been listed by a major retailer and is now available for pre-orders.

It looks like Amazon Germany has no intention to wait until Samsung's May 3 event, where everyone expects the South Korean company to unveil the next generation Galaxy family smartphone.

The handset is now up to pre-order for just 600 EUR (790 USD) outright, which is a bit cheaper in comparison with other devices that have been announced two months ago at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, and are about to make their debut on the market.

Amazon Germany advises customers to “reserve their copy now and get it in time for the release date,” which might be another evidence pointing to a May 3 launch for the Galaxy S III.

Aside from the fact that the retailer is now taking pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy S III, it has also revealed some its specs, though these might have been gathered from all the rumors leaked online in the past few weeks.

So, according to Amazon Germany, Samsung Galaxy S III sports a large 4.7-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display, 16GB of internal memory, as well as microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB).

The super-phone is said to boast a 12-megapixel rear photo snapper and will run the latest version of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system.

Although Amazon does not mention anything else, we also know that the Galaxy S III will be powered by an Exynos quad-core processor, probably clocked at 1.4 GHz, which will be complemented by a Mali-400 MP graphics processing unit and 1 GB of RAM.

Samsung Galaxy S III is likely to embed a high-capacity 2050 mAh Li-Ion battery, as well as NFC (Near Field Communication) capabilities. The smartphone is expected to be announced on May 3, during a “Samsung Unpacked” event, which is set to take place in London.
