Galaxy S3 is now readily available in India

Galaxy S3 6Now if you want to own this beast than you don’t have wait any longer, Galaxy S3 is now readily available at you local retail outlet and at online shopping websites like Flipkart, Homeshop18 etc. Priced at Rs. 38,990 on Flipkart, Galaxy S3 is the most premium and expensive offering from Samsung presently. Though you can get the same phone at around Rs. 37,500 from your local retail store if you know how to bargain.

At 38,900 there are plethora of options available to a buyer. One can buy HTC One X and save himself a massive amount of Rs 1,500 to 3,000. If someone want to spend some extra bucks that he can always buy Apple IPhone 4S for Rs. 42,000 from Aircel. That would also be a good option. The price of Galaxy S3  is bound to fall in coming months because this always happens! Companies always release their products at maximum price so as to gain maximum profit by selling their overpriced products to fanboys and enthusiasts. But in case if you are not any of them than i will suggest you to wait for 2 to 3 months. After that time the price of Galaxy S3 will be in the range of Rs. 30K to 35K.

Galaxy S3 features a quad core CPU and quad core Mali 400MP GPU which gives it a edge over other quad core and dual core smart phones. Though Galaxy S3 for USA features a dual core CPU instead of quad core because of the presence of 4G LTE chip in US version which is not yet compatible with quad core CPU.

Samsung Galaxy S3 gets a price tag in India

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:

Samsung Galaxy S3 up for pre order at Samsung India E Store

Quad core based and much awaited next generation Galaxy S3 is now up for pre order in India. Galaxy S3 was initially announced by Samsung at an event in London. It was one of the much awaited smartphone and it’s rumoured pictures and specifications occupiers the internet for nearly one month before the announcement.

One can visit this link { Click here to pre order Galaxy S3 } and can book Galaxy S3 for Rs. 2,000. Every customer who had pre ordered Galaxy S3 from Samsung E Store will get Bluetooth headset worth Rs. 2,299 ( as claimed by Samsung ). But there is loop hole in this entire deal, there is no mentioning of expected price or any sort of expected MRP for this phone. So in case you are booking this phone today and on actual launch if it gets a price tag of Rs. 42,000 (rumoured) than you are stuck. Either purchase at such high MRP or your pre booking amount gets wasted.

I would really suggest not to pre order Galaxy S3 as the price is not confirmed and Samsung on their E Store usually sell mobiles only at MRP prices and gives no discount as local retailers or Flipkart. As for an example yet to be launched dual core smart phone Galaxy S Advance is listed at Samsung E Store for Rs. 26,790 but most of the local retailers and Flipkart is selling at Rs. 23,999.

As far as specs are concerned Galaxy S3 is a quad core based smart phone and beats every other smart phone in that price range.
