Due the fact that Samsung’s Exynos 4212 chipset does not support LTE technology, the South Korean company decided to include Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 SoC in the North American variant of Galaxy S III.

Well, it looks like the international version of the Galaxy S III will be made available in the United States pretty soon. According to several screenshots published by AndroidCentral, Best Buy plans to add the Pebble Blue Galaxy S III to its portfolio.

This is an unlocked GSM version of the Galaxy S III and will be delivered with Samsung’s Exynos 4212 chipset inside, which features a quad-core processor clocked at 1.4 GHz.

Although there is no confirmation on this yet, it’s clear that those who will purchase the international Galaxy S III won’t be able to take advantage of LTE speeds.
