Samsung Galaxy S3 goes up on Amazon for $799.99

While we’ve been speculating for weeks how much the suggested retail price of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S3 and eagerly waiting for the offerings from Globe and Smart, Amazon has put up its pre-order page for the handset.

The price of a 16GB, unlocked, international version of the Galaxy S3 is pegged at $799.99PHP 46,948INR 67,799EUR 762CNY 5,823. At current exchange rates, that’s about Php34,400USD 586INR 49,694EUR 558CNY 4,269. But that’s the US price which is more often cheaper than Philippine price.

This points us back again to our earlier story that the Philippine price of the Galaxy S3 will be somewhere in the Php36k to Php37k. See story here.

Uh-oh! That’s pretty expensive. But there’s one way to confirm – the launch event next week.

Pre-order outside the Philippines for a 16GB international edition is pegged at 33K. Actually, the original pre-order price was around 32,898 but it went up a few days ago to 33K.

Of course, that’s in peso.

Do you know about Expansys, Abe?

This phone is on its zenith of absurdity. I’d rather get the iPhone 4s. Although it be that, the One X is rather a great deal at 28k.

I have been reading a lot of blogs and forums and really couldn’t be more sure to wait for WP8.

SIII is only $680 in Dubai

With that price it falls at the same price as the HTC One X

I guess it all depends on how we use the device and the need that we use it for plays a big part on how laggy the phone becomes.
