Galaxy S3: late May with TIM to 699 € 32GB version

The rumors that up to now circulate around the Galaxy S3 are slowly advancing and among the latest images, and render official confirmation, the new top range Samsung is taking shape. What is missing is, in addition to the finalization of the device, the price and release date. Thanks to some sources we are told in the inclusion list by Tim Galaxy S3 32GB version priced at € 699 .

 

A price which is obviously not yet available and that the new Samsung player will see the end of May. If everything was officially confirmed (at the moment we can not give you this information as absolutely certain, for obvious reasons), the Galaxy S3 could reach the market sooner than expected and very few weeks after the official presentation of next May 3.

Not only that but also confirmed that the 32GB version will be also included in the list TIM All Inclusive to 12 euros per month for 30 months. The details of the offer will surely be announced in the coming weeks, but it is a further confirmation of the price already suggested in previous articles.

Hopefully in a 16GB version perhaps to 599 € although it is difficult or unlikely, however, to launch. TIM, however, expect the convention to be held May 6 for any official confirmation.
