Samsung Galaxy S3 in Pebble Blue is Now Back In Stock
The Pebble Blue version of the Samsung Galaxy S3 is now back in stock again and has started to ship in Europe, according to a recent report from YouMobile.org.
This is great news for customers who anticipated purchasing the Pebble Blue variant and were disappointed after 600,000 back covers for the device were destroyed because they did not match up to Samsung's high standards, causing shortages for this particular model globally.
Some of the covers that were destroyed displayed white blotches that could be seen while looking at the component from a specific angle.
Samsung announced its plans to launch the Samsung Galaxy S3 on the five largest network service providers in the U.S. yesterday, including AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, U.S. Cellular and Verizon.
The U.S. version of the device will launch for both 4G LTE and HSPA+ 42 networks. Prices will vary from carrier to carrier with the minimum being $199.
Samsung also will replace its Exynos quad-core processor with Qualcomm's dual-core s4 chip in the U.S. variant of the smartphone.
The Qualcomm chips have the LTE and 42MB HSPA+ speeds that U.S. smartphone owners expect and also keep up with the quad-core processors.
Other specifications for the U.S. model are the same as the international version, including a 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display, 2GB of RAM, a 2100mA battery and Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich.
Aside from launching the Pebble Blue and Marble White versions, AT&T has announced its plans to release another red variant of the Galaxy S3 that will be available during the summer.
The company also stated that it will begin offering pre-orders for the device on June 6 and the handset should ship sometime before the end of the month.
