In a press release sent out late Sunday night, Samsung has confirmed that their Galaxy SIII will arrive on U.S. carriers this month. The highly anticipated device will launch on five major U.S. carriers including Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile, and U.S Cellular. Samsung also confirmed specifications of the U.S. variant, which include:

- 2GB Internal Ram
- Snapdragon S4 1.5Ghz Dual Core
- 4.8" HD Super AMOLED display with Gorilla Glass 2
- 2100mAh battery
- 16GB or 32GB of onboard storage expandable via microSD

The U.S. Galaxy SIII will also include S-Beam, S-Voice, Smart Stay, Popup Play, and advanced camera features such as Burst Shot and Best Shot that were showcased on European variants. The phone is expected to cost $199 for new contracts and eligible upgrades, but solid pricing has yet to be announced by individual carriers. Check out Samsung's full press release here and let us know what you think in the forums.

Glad they're launching these earlier. Better then the GS & GS2 American launch which launched months after the original version.

I'm not so sure about that. I hope you're right, though...

Damn you just beat me to this. I was just getting ready to post this Samsung Galaxy SIII - 4G LTE Smartphone | Verizon Wireless

I have a upgrade on one of my lines on 6/28/12, what to do, what to do?

I would say get the s3 :)

I formerly had two phones all the time and I hated it lol, however thinking about having a maxx and a s3 "just because" is so tempting. I just graduated however and don't have a job yet, BUT when i do have employment I could see myself needing a new "house phone" lolololol.

Last two phones I picked up was on launch day (Thunderbolt and now the Galaxy Nexus) but I think my upgrade not being ready till 6/28 could be a good thing. It makes me wait till they get the blue one in.

are we sure they wont be releasing the blue and white version at the same time?

I know there was a recall on the blue phones last month but I'm sure they would have that issue fixed by the time the US release is available?

Good point, I forgot, the US launch is after the rest of the world. They might have blue ones ready.

My upgrade has been ready since mid March and I will be pre-ordering the 16 gig phone as I have a 32gig SD card handy. But WOW....$199 for a brand new flagship LTE phone, I'm shocked. I was expecting $299 and have that put away already. I may spring for the 32gig model for the hell of it or at least buy a dock or something. My DroidX is in rough shape and the SIII could come sooner, but I guess I will have to wait. I'll probably get the blue phone as I'm not a fan of white phones, but I'll take whichever is available as cases are always an option. So stoked right now!
