Samsung Galaxy SIII is the next in the Galaxy S series after S & SII. Galaxy SII marked a big milestone in Samsung's Smartphone journey.

Moving forward, Samsung did not take long to raise the bar for its flagship product and introduced
Galaxy SIII on 3 May 2012. Galaxy SIII is definitely a big leap over Galaxy SII. SIII became such a rage that 20 million units were sold within 100 days of its launch and over 50 million units have been sold till now.
