The new Samsung Galaxy SIII smartphone is now available on contract at MTN's Morningside branch.

Following the launch last month of Samsung's new “human-centric” smartphone, its third-generation Galaxy model, MTN this weekend announced the handset would be available in store on an MTN Anytime 200 contract, at R399 per month. Included in the 24-month contract is R200 worth of airtime, 25 free SMSes and 75MB of data for 12 months.

Operating on Android 4.0 and with a default TouchWiz Nature UX user interface, MTN says the Galaxy SIII is expected to be more successful than its predecessor.

Chief marketing officer of MTN SA, Serame Taukobong, says the SIII is suitable for both the professional and private cellphone user. “The new Samsung Galaxy SIII is lightweight without sacrificing functionality.”

The Galaxy SIII measures 4.8-inches, is powered by a 1.4GHz Samsung Exynos 4 Quad processor, has a Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 720x1 280, an 8MP rear camera (and 1.9MP front camera), Android Ice Cream Sandwich, and is available in “marble white” or “pebble blue”.

Internationally, the phone has been commended for its “Game Hub” and “Video Hub”, which provide users access to various social games and high-quality TV and movies, respectively. These will initially be introduced in select countries and subsequently on the global market.
