Samsung has announced that the highly anticipated Galaxy S3 will be available on all major phone carriers in the US. This means most customers in North America should be able to get their hands on Samsung’s newest Android flagship. Starting in June, the Samsung Galaxy SIII will be available at AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, and U.S. Cellular. The release schedule has not been published; according to Samsung we’ll know in the coming weeks.

An excerpt from the press release:

“The U.S. launch of the Galaxy S III is the most anticipated launch of the year. As promised, we are delivering the ‘next big thing’ for U.S. customers and across all major carriers,” said Dale Sohn, president of Samsung Telecommunications America. “Galaxy S III introduces new technological innovation and takes sharing to the next level.”

With the Galaxy S III, Samsung is setting a new standard for smartphones. This device was designed to be lightweight, durable and powerful. The Galaxy S III weighs 4.7 ounces and is 8.6 millimeters thin, making it lighter and sleeker than other leading smartphones, including several competitor models with smaller displays. The brilliant 4.8 inch display extends to an ultra-thin bezel to maximize the viewing area. The Galaxy S III delivers impressive processing power to allow more applications to be accessible simultaneously.

I don’t think the specs of the SGS3 are what will wow many customers. It will be the heavy marketing and the fact that the Galaxy S2 did so well in past years. And with a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and 2GB of RAM, this device will deliver.

Stay tuned for more coverage on the Samsung Galaxy SIII.
