The Samsung Galaxy S III will be commercially available next week but those hoping to get their hands on the Pebble Blue version might need to wait much longer. According to some sources, production issues of the Pebble Blue rear casing is said to be a cause and may delay its availability during the launch.
Globally, the delay seems to be evident considering the telcos in the UK are only carrying white versions. Earlier when it was spotted on sale in Dubai with only the white version available. For us folks in Malaysia, the trend seems to be similar with signs showing DiGi & Celcom offering only the Marble White version next week. So far there’s no news when the blue version will be available and hopefully it won’t take as long as the white iPhone 4.
While white colour seems to be the more popular choice for phones, personally we felt that the Pebble Blue version is a better colour on the Galaxy S III. In our brief hands-on, the Pebble Blue Galaxy S III looks and feels better and it isn’t as glossy as the white version. Then again, that’s just our personal preference.
Which one would you prefer? The glossy Marble White or Pebble Blue version? Drop them in the comments below.
