On Tuesday, May 29, 2012, Samsung launched its Galaxy S III in 28 European
and Middle East countries. While Samsung has not said when the new smartphone
will launch in the United States, some expect the phone to launch this June.
The move comes before the launch of Apple’s new iPhone,
which is expected in the third quarter.
Overview of Features
Samsung recently overtook Nokia to become the world’s largest device maker. Analysts
predict that the Galaxy S III will outsell the Galaxy S II. The Galaxy S II sold
20 million units worldwide.
Thus far, the phone is getting high
praise, despite its somewhat large size. The latest Galaxy includes a feature that tracks a user’s
eye movement so the screen will not dim too early, a new music
service and runs on Ice Cream Sandwich, the latest Android operating system.
Shipment Delays
The bad news is some consumers may not get their latest smartphone as
quickly as anticipated. Samsung verified some consumers may experience shipping
delays for the 32GB marble white phone and the 16GB and 32GB pebble blue ones.
Those waiting should expect a delay of two to three weeks.
Concluding Thoughts
Samsung included a lot of features that should appeal to iPhone enthusiasts.
As Samsung continues to offer some of the best Android options, I fully expect
the Galaxy S III to outperform its predecessor, despite the shipping delays. Of course
we will fully know after Apple's releases pf the iPhone 5 if the Galaxy S III will keep its steam.
