Samsung Galaxy S3 comes a day early for pre-order customers in the UK

We’ve given you the nitty-gritty details of where you can buy the Samsung Galaxy S3 in the UK. Now there’s some good news for those who have pre-ordered the phone from the Samsung Brand store at Westfield Stratford City. According to Samsung Mobile UK, you will be able to collect the curvaceous phone the night before its official launch date of May 30. So, if you’re in town on May 29, pay the store a visit starting from 6 PM, and you’ll be coming home with the Samsung Galaxy S3.

For those who haven’t pre-ordered the Samsung Galaxy S3, note that you won’t be able to buy the phone on May 29 in stores, as the stocks are strictly reserved for those who have made the pre-order. Your best bet is to show up a day after.

Don’t feel too bad if you didn’t pre-order your Galaxy S3 from the Samsung Brand store, as there’s a possibility that you can pick up the phone on the same date from the retailer you’re preordering the phone from, albeit an hour later from 7 PM, as per Samsung’s policy. But you'll have to confirm this with the retailer, because it all depends on each retailer preferences.

Moving up the availability of the Samsung Galaxy S3 a day early for people who pre-ordered the phone is Samsung’s idea of a surprise. Samsung UK and Ireland VP Simon Stanford said that the company “had an overwhelming response from our retail partners and customers alike since announcing the Galaxy S III on 3 May. So we wanted to delight our customers and reward them for pre-ordering by letting them get their hands on the device a day before anyone else. We believe we have created our best smartphone yet, designed specifically with daily human needs in mind, and we are proud to provide our customers with a truly unique mobile user experience.”

Or, this could simply be Samsung’s way to boost the pre-order numbers of the phone, which we already know are spectacular. Either way, there’s still time to make that Samsung Galaxy S3 pre-order, if you want to get it earlier than the rest of UK folks.

Great.
Does it mean samsung will not have any problems manufacturing millions of devices without using plastic? I think it is now time for them to leave hyperglazed in the dust

They keep costs down because plastic is cheaper than other materials. Not complaining though.

the comments section should be renamed as “whiny bimbos sections”

none of these people here have any knowledge whatsoever about what is being discussed in this article or what it means for the smartphone industry.

I feel this a great initiative by samsung. They could very well be taking orders from other device manufacturers as well
this is basically great from small time device makers with innovative ideas(remember yotaphone) to actually churn out devices with similar level of quality and less investment required for setting up of a manufacturing unit(of course most companies have vendors who make the devices for them)

Why do some people think this is good thing? (besides what I beg to be sarcastic comments) More money for a company who already makes billions? Well this is just the best news ever.

What it really means is people losing their jobs, losing them fast and probably without any other job after their redundancy.

I mean you’ve got companies who pay so little to their workers in the first place but then they have to remove them completely. Hardly a shining beacon of hope to starving millions who need to get out of poverty (or even eat) one way or another.

  This is a really good point that you bring up. Unfortunately Samsung is not the only company that does this, most of the clothing manufactures in the Unites States still use sweat shops in developing countries. Its cool that you looked at this in a different way and realized what is really happening.

  Where I am not without compassion for people that may lose their jobs, you can’t expect businesses to make decisions that go against profitability and success for the sake of saving jobs. I know many people believe this makes a company evil, but what you need to remind yourself is that companies aren’t started to provide a job for people. Too many times people expect businesses to behave as charities. I have been on the raw end of 2 downsizings in my career, so I understand the position it puts people in. However, I was able to get back on my feet on both occasions and life carried on. Also where some manufacturing jobs will be lost, some distribution and sales jobs will likely open due to higher product output.

I thought the galaxy was based on the human experience and nature. How about humans stop buying all this plastic and silicone cranked out every six months. The cycle is a vicious cycle of endless waste.

I am personally not in favour of what Samsung is following. This also means that there will be job losses and many manufacturer will be forced to adopt this practise since they will face tight competition from Samsung. If little increase in price of a mobile phone can run millions of homes then why not?

No guarantees on whether cost savings is transferred to the consumers or not… my guess is that it’s not… simply cost savings to increase their profits i guess… so how does that make this news a good thing? it is simply irrelevant except from a technological point of view…

Beside it will just give them more reasons to crank out 120 million phones which are named differently but all sport the same design…

The main lesson other companies will learn is fire some thousands of workers and let their families starve.
