Samsung Galaxy S3 Release Date Set for July 1 on Sprint
Sprint recently confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy S3 will be available on the carrier July 1.
The device was originally expected to launch last week for Sprint, but was delayed due to "overwhelming demand."
Sprint made the announcement for the July 1 release yesterday, also stating that the 16GB version will be available at the carrier's retail locations and the 32GB model will be sold only online.

Sprint will charge $200 for the 16GB and $250 for the 32GB model.
Online orders and pre-orders will be shipping shortly, according to Sprint.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 has already been released in many countries throughout the world.
The smartphone is arguably Samsung's most impressive one to date, sporting a gorgeous 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display where users can multitask on a whole other level by texting and watching videos at the same time.
Thanks to Samsung's quad-core Exynos processor, the device is able to accomplish feats that no other smartphone has been able to do. However, that chip was removed from the U.S. version and replaced by the dual-core Snapdragon S4 chip in order to accommodate LTE networks.
This came as a disappointment to many Samsung fans anticipating the company's first true quad-core smartphone. Overseas, the Galaxy S3 packs a power punch unlike any other smartphone in the past and hopefully the U.S. version will match up despite the downgraded processor.
However, the true potential of the Galaxy S3 will not be seen until it is released in Korea.
Various sources have reported that the Korean version of the device will launch with both the Exynos quad-core chip and LTE connectivity. The possibilities seem endless for this version of the S3.
It will also feature 2GB of RAM, making it the most powerful smartphone ever created.
Since Korea is the home base of Samsung electronics, it seems like the ideal place to launch a smartphone of this caliber.
