UK-based retailer Expansys has just added the black-themed Samsung Galaxy S III 16GB on its online store. The smartphone is available for purchase for 410 GBP (655 USD or 505 EUR) outright.

According to Expansys, the smartphone is expected to hit shelves in October 24, so those who purchase the black Galaxy S III now will receive it after October 25.

Keep in mind that this is the European version of the Samsung Galaxy S III, which means it's supplied with an EU plug and a UK AC adapter. Obviously, the warranty is EU wide and valid.

It will be shipped with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich platform out of the box, but the phone is already scheduled to receive a Jelly Bean update in the following weeks. Check it out here.
