Following last week’s news that Samsung sold 20 million Galaxy S III handsets in 100 days, the manufacturer are looking to build on that success with the addition of four new colour schemes to the range. In keeping with the S III’s “inspired by nature” tagline, the new colours are said to take inspiration from Earth’s materials – Amber Brown, Garnet Red, Sapphire Black and Titanium Grey.
The Titanium Grey version will be the new LTE version of the handset, as hinted at in our EE 4G story earlier. Expect big interest in this one. Carphone Warehouse are lined up to sell the Garnet Red version, while the Amber Brown and Sapphire Black handsets will be available later this year.
In a press release launching the new colour range, Simon Stanford, Vice President, UK & IRE Telecommunications & Networks Division, Samsung UK and Ireland said: “We’re incredibly proud of the success of the Galaxy S III in the short time it has been available, and have had great feedback from our customers who are amazed by the phone’s simplicity-of-use and intuitive features. In keeping with the design concept of the Galaxy S III, this expanded colour range will give customers looking to buy our best smartphone yet, even more choice when it comes to purchase.”
