The European launch of Galaxy S white version seems to be very close, as the Korean handset manufacturer just announced its availability in South Korea

Samsung fans in Korea will now have the chance to buy a 'Snow White' model of Galaxy S from SK Telecom carrier. The new colorful device is high-gloss polished and comes with a chrome bezel and black front.

The information about the white Galaxy S model is not new, as GSMArena stumbled upon a blurry picture of the device on a Spanish website – Phone House (a Carphone Warehouse company).

The white Samsung Galaxy S in the image was tagged as exclusive and priced at 500 Euro. Hopefully, the exclusivity will be limited to Spain only, and other countries won't have this problem.

Anyway, besides the obvious price difference, it seems that the Korean white version of the smartphone has a black front, while the one spotted on the Phone House's website features a white front cover.

If rumors are true and Galaxy S white model will spread in Europe, it will probably start shipping from Spain.

Further, the International version of Samsung Galaxy S may be released in a different color combo, with both front and back covers in white, or we will get more “white” variants of the device rolling out. More colors could also be available in the coming months, if the hype is maintained.

Samsung Galaxy S was only available in Black and Gray colors, until the manufacturer decided to make it more 'iphone-esque' and introduced the white model.

Also known as Samsung SHW-M110S, the Korean Galaxy S was launched on June 25th and is rapidly closing to the 1 million units sold milestone.

The “Snow White” Galaxy S is only available through SK Telecom carrier and should start selling this week.
