Samsung’s much hyped next generation Galaxy series smartphone Galaxy S3 will be priced at around Rs. 38,900. Indian ecommerce giant Flipkart had already listed Galaxy S3 for pre-order at Rs. 38,900. We here at UB7 are definitely not happy with the price tag of this hyped phone. S3 do packs a lot of raw power and beats other Quad Core smartphones like HTC One X with a decent margin. Synthetic benchmarks show S3 to be way ahead as compared to One X but still price will be the one deciding factor here. I am not saying that HTC One X is rightly priced. At 36,000 it will also be absent from the wish list of many potential smartphone buyers.
Galaxy S3 is the successor of the much popular previous generation Galaxy S2. Some of factors where Galaxy S3 leads are listed in the table below:
