Samsung Galaxy S III (Verizon,at&t,sprint,and open networks) Full Specs, Short Review and Shop Online

The Samsung Galaxy S III should soon make its way to the United States in one way or another. Samsung have just announced that the Samsung Galaxy S III will be headed to US carriers this month. That news is nothing “new,” of course, but now we have confirmation of which carriers will be participating in arguably the biggest launch of the year.

Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, AT&T, and US Cellular have all been pegged as the five major carriers that the Galaxy S III will launch with. They’ll be launching starting this June, but Samsung didn’t specify whether that meant all carriers would get it this month or if that estimation was for at least one carrier. We’ve reached out for comment and we’ll update this post if we learn anything new.

The Samsung Galaxy S3 officially made its debut in London this past May, and we finally got our hands on it when CTIA 2012 in New Orleans rolled around. The device will introduce Samsung’s quad-core exynos, feature a Super AMOLED display, and will house an excellent 8 megapixel HD camera.

But the biggest thing is its software: TouchWiz 4.0, which runs atop Android 4.0, introduces a lot of interesting features. The list is far too long to include here, but be sure to check out our hands-on from CTIA 2012 where Ryan from Samsung gives us the best look at the device that we could ask for. Read on for full press details.
