Samsung Galaxy S III arrives on the Telstra Mobile Network

Media Release, 31 May 2013

One of the year’s most anticipated smartphones is now available on Australia’s largest and most reliable mobile network. From today Telstra customers can purchase the Samsung GALAXY S III from select Telstra Stores or by heading online to telstra.com.au/gs3.

The new Samsung GALAXY S III uses clever software to take smartphone design to a new level. The GALAXY SIII knows when its owner is reading its screen and keeps it lit up. It can also listen and respond to voice commands, allowing customers to play their favourite songs, turn the volume up or down, organise their schedule, or launch the camera to capture a photo.

Powered by Android™ 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, the Samsung GALAXY S III includes a 4.8 inch HD Super AMOLED display, creating a vivid viewing experience.
