As the
Samsung Galaxy S3 continues to remain popular in the smartphone market, a new
model with a much bigger storage space, a 64GB Samsung Galaxy S3, is set to be released by the South Korean
company in the later part of the year.
Samsung
recently allayed concerns on the possibility that it will not be offering the
device in a much bigger storage option after it revealed that the new model of
the smartphone will be released within the year. However it appears that the
64GB Samsung Galaxy S3 may be initially released into the international market,
which would leave out US consumers for the moment.
According to
the company, the 64GB Samsung Galaxy S3 will have staggered release dates
although it did not specify the release dates themselves and which markets it
will be released into. Prior to the announcement that a 64GB Samsung Galaxy S3
will be released by the company, its market share has already increased with
the release of the 16GB as well as the 32GB models of the smartphone. With the
upcoming release of the 64GB Samsung Galaxy S3, the market share of the company
is expected to increase further.
Analysts
recently revealed that around fifty million smartphone units were sold by
Samsung for the second quarter of the year due to the demand for its latest
flagship smartphone.
JK Shin, the
telecommunications head of Samsung, revealed last month that sales of the
Galaxy S3 are expected to reach ten million for the month of July. But Shin did
not specify if it were actual consumer sales or simply deliveries to its
retailers.
Following
its introduction into the European market, the Galaxy S3 was made available
through four major US-based mobile service providers. The smartphone has a
price tag of around $200 and $250 for the 16GB and 32GB models respectively
through AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon. On the other hand, T-Mobile is offering
the device at $280 and $330 for the 16GB and the 32GB models respectively. The
price of the 64GB Samsung Galaxy S3 may be higher due to its bigger storage
space.
However it
remains uncertain how the 64GB Samsung Galaxy S3 will perform in the market
particularly with the possible release of the iPhone 5 in the later part of the
year.
