14 DAY TRIAL // Shortly after TELUS announced it would carry the Galaxy S III smartphone, other Canadian operators confirmed their offer in the following weeks.
In this regard, SaskTel announced recently that Samsung Galaxy S III would arrive on its 4G network “in time for the summer.”
The South Korean company officially unveiled its third-generation Galaxy smartphone earlier this month and mentioned that the handset was expected to hit shelves on May 30.
However, North American have been left out due to the fact that Samsung’s Galaxy S III device does not feature LTE support yet.
Although the company plans to announce another variant of Galaxy S III equipped with a completely new chipset that supports LTE technology.
Even though Samsung has yet to unveil the LTE-enabled Galaxy S III, there’s a high chance the smartphone will be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 chipset.
“SaskTel is excited to add the Samsung Galaxy S III to our upcoming line-up of innovative smartphones. As technology evolves, SaskTel remains committed to offering our customers feature rich devices such as the Galaxy S III to optimize their user experience on our world-class network,” said Stacey Sandison, SaskTel chief marketing officer.
The regional carrier notes that more details on Galaxy S III’s specs sheet, pricing and availability will be unveiled in the coming weeks.
Aside from changing the phone’s chipset, there’s no telling what else Samsung plans to replace. Still, the phone will surely be shipped with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system out of the box.
“Samsung is dedicated to taking a leadership position in the smartphone space and that is why we are thrilled to work with SaskTel to bring the Samsung Galaxy S III to Canadians. With its intuitive design and features, the Galaxy S III introduces a whole new concept in smartphone user experience through gesture-based communication – allowing users to communicate and share their experiences naturally and easily,” concluded Paul Brannen, vice president, Mobile Communications at Samsung Canada.
