Welcome to the party Verizon. Samsung released the source code for the Sprint, T-Mobile, AT&T over a week ago so it was only a matter of time before Verizon customers got their fix. The Samsung open source bank has been updated to include the latest kernel files for the SCH-I535, the Verizon Galaxy S III.
Samsung and Verizon announced today the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 will be available for $499 through Verizon, fully equipped with LTE. The specs are similar to the WiFi version we’ve already reviewed, but it does come with a little less memory and is likely to be slightly heavier to account for the cellular radios.
As quickly as Samsung sent out their press release on U.S. availability of their Galaxy S III, Verizon and AT&T have set up landing pages for the device. Right now, Verizon’s page is simply a placeholder waiting for content. But AT&T’s page shows pictures of the device, specs, and other details.
Just moments ago at its press conference at CES 2013, Samsung announced that the Galaxy Note 10.1 would be making its way to Verizon with 4G LTE in tow. Unsurprisingly, the tablet will ship with Android 4.1, meaning users can expect the same slew of productivity applications as the Wi-Fi model.
We speculated that Verizon would release the Samsung Galaxy S III on June 21st, the same day as Sprint and T-Mobile. But now sources tell Android Central that the Verizon availability will begin much later on July 9th. Let’s hope this is just a rumor.
After a long period of pre-orders, Verizon has finally revealed November 29th as their official launch date of their Samsung Galaxy Note 2. With the ugly Verizon branding on the home button and all, the Note 2 packs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean with a quad-core Exynos processor amd 2 GB’s of RAM.
Verizon’s Samsung Galaxy Nexus is now priced at $99 with a 2-year contract, which means it will probably get discontinued soon. The biggest sin is the full retail price still remains the same at $649. It’s still a great phone and you can’t beat the price for those that want to get the stock Android experience.
Will you be getting the Galaxy Nexus now that it’s only $99?
If you are one of the many people waiting to purchase a Samsung Galaxy S III through Verizon, brace yourself for a delay. According to Verizon’s web site, the availability date is now July 12th, two days later than the previously announced July 10th date. The change appears to only apply to new purchases.
Visitors to the Verizon web site today were greeted with an offer to sign up for notifications about a couple new colors for Samsung Galaxy S III devices. Both black and brown will be available from Verizon, joining blue and white versions. No word on pricing, though it is hard to imagine they would sell for anything other than what the current versions go for.
