With a little over 2 weeks until the Galaxy S3 launches in the UK, we’ve no doubt there are thousands of gadget fans out there clamouring for the phone. To whet your whistle while you wait for the gadget itself, we’ve got press shots and details on the official accessories.
We’ve already heard about the ‘S Pebble’ MP3 player and the (unfortunately) delayed wireless charging station, but now we have four new accessories to jazz up the next Galaxy.
C-Pen Stylus – £19.99
The Galaxy S3’s screen isn’t small by any means at 4.8-inches, but it’s also edging into the same territory as the phone-come-tablet Galaxy Note, so we know users might prefer to use a stylus. Samsung has crafted the C-Pen to look like the Galaxy S3, with the same sort of brushed metal effect with chrome accents.
A soft rubber tip will make it easy to type, handwrite, draw and annotate. It doesn’t ‘have a brain’ like the Galaxy Note’s stylus however, and it doesn’t have any buttons on it for copying and pasting.
Wi-Fi Display Hub – £79.99
A clever device for those who don’t have a Samsung Smart TV but want to stream content to it – the Wi-Fi display hub connects to your HDTV using a HDMI cable and can then receive music, video and photo via Wi-Fi from your Galaxy S3. Once connected, the screen of your S3 will be ‘mirrored’ on your TV screen, which is handy for playing games on the big screen.
Flip Cover –£29.99
There will be hundreds of different cases hitting the market soon, but this one is the official deal from Samsung. Finished in a cool chrome blue or marble white, this cover offers protection for both the front and back of the phone, with a thin flip cover covering the screen when you’re not using it. It looks to be a thin and lightweight offering, which is perfect for those who want protection but without the added bulk.
Holder and Battery Charger – £34.99
A popular Samsung accessory for Galaxy smartphones in the past, the holder and battery charger does exactly what it says on the tin. For those who really hammer their phones, a second battery is a must to sometimes get you through the day. Connect a Micro USB cable to the rear of this stand, flip up the cover and insert your spare battery to charge it while your shiny new S3 sits pretty on the stand.
Desktop Dock – £TBC
The standard desktop dock offers charging and synchronisation with your PC or Mac via the Micro USB connection, along with a 3.5mm audio out socket to pump your tunes through a speaker system. Also finished in Samsung’s new brushed metal style, this is a sleek and stylish accessory.
Which of the accessories will you be getting for your Galaxy S3? We’ll be waiting for the uber cool wireless charging pad, that’s for sure.
