The phone is $50 cheaper if purchased through RadioShack

On Sunday, wireless operator Sprint made the Galaxy S III smartphone available for its customers, after pushing the release back by two weeks.

The phone was launched in two flavors, one with 16GB of internal memory, priced at $199 (€158), and another featuring 32GB of storage, priced at $249 (€198), with the signing of a two-year contract agreement.

Two days later, however, partner retailers have already cut the price tag for the smartphone, so that more users would feel like purchasing it.

Thus, those who head over to RadioShack to acquire the new smartphone will have to get only $149 (€118) out of their pockets for the 16GB flavor.

At the same time, Amazon and Wirefly are offering the smartphone for $179.99 (€143) with the signing of a contract agreement, still a better deal than what Sprint has in store for buyers now.

Users should also note that the smartphone comes with a bundled 16GB memory card at Wirefly. Those who would like some extra storage will certainly see that as a welcomed addition.

As the guys over at Android Police note, these deals are in place for both new customers and for those who are interested in upgrades.

Galaxy S III is the latest flagship Android smartphone from Samsung, and it appears to be the most appealing such device currently available on shelves.

Given the phone's fast application processor, a large 4.8-inch HD touchscreen display, the 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, or its 1.9MP front camera, it’s no wonder that people want to buy it.

In fact, Samsung has had some issues with meeting demand for the device, and was forced to delay its release in the United States by a couple of weeks, since it could not ship enough units to sustain the launch. AT&T and Verizon still haven’t released the phone, but they are expected to do so in about a week’s time.
