Samsung Galaxy S3′s head start over iPhone 5

Samsung Electronics Co launches its latest Galaxy S smartphone in Europe on Tuesday, with the third generation model expected to be even more successful than its predecessor, which helped the South Korean company topple Apple Inc as the world’s top smartphone maker...

At R9k they can forget it.

Ag nee wat. I expect the iPhone 5 to be all over the S3. Samsung should have done more than just giving us an S2 on steroids.

Yeah thats just ridiculous...i'm trying to sell my new HTC one X for R6500 and people dont have that kind of cash lying around so how many people will buy this at R9000?

Prices will have to come down if they want this to sell better than the S2,if I remember correctly the S2 launched at around R6000.

I reckon the top of the range S3 with 64GB will go at R9000. The rest like the 16GB and 32GB should come in around R7000. Just my opinion.

Ye, they wont sell any, biggest mistake Samsung, pricing fail!!
/sarcasm

 

[allyphint]

I guess the 10 million pre-orders are wrong?

 

[BeVonk!]

A price higher than R5000 is a FAIL. A good tablet can be acquired for under R9000. Samsung is way off the mark here, especially when one compares the S3 with the S2.

 

[BeVonk!]

Bring on the iPhone 5.

 

[TJ99]

Bring on the iPhone 5.

Yeah, that will cost waaaay less than 5 grand, as Applephones always do.

BTW the 32GB Galaxy 3 is R7692, as per the dedicated thread. A few people have already bought theirs.

The S3 is a carpet bombing of technology. It is going to be very hard for apple to bring anything new to the table.

The "New iPhone" can make coffee and give BJ's. It also solves world hunger and develops a cure for AIDS, but only on Tuesday afternoons. True story, I read it on the intrawebz!

I guess you did not hear that Apple was working on this brand new tech‽

Its called 4G and is super fast, its like nothing you have ever seen before, also there is rumors that it might come with something no one has ever hear of, I think they calling it NFC or something like that.
