Online retail giant Amazon has a preorder page up for the Samsung Galaxy S III, after all the rumors and leaked videos this is something all of us can actually see and believe. Originally the tentative launch of the handset is scheduled at Samsung’s big event ‘COME AND MEET THE NEW GALAXY’ to be held in London on May 3. A glimpse from the specifications listed include a 4.7-inch Super AMOLED display, 16GB internal storage, expandable storage up to 32GB with Micro SD cards, Android ICS 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and a 12MP AF camera with LED Flash.

The product page neither carries an image for the device nor does it specifies the estimated delivery date for the phone. Folks desperately waiting for the Samsung Galaxy S III can preorder the gizmo at a price tag of EUR 599 (US $792) VAT inclusive. We still wait for an exciting and mind wobbling official launch for the S III, as it would unfold many more aspects beyond the basic set of specs. Samsung is a key innovator in the Android arena bringing new smartphones and tablets to its portfolio day on day, with proven success for Samsung’s ‘Galaxy’ series there is much more to expect out of the Galaxy S III.
