Samsung starts taking pre-orders for Galaxy S III in India

Samsung has started taking pre-orders for the Galaxy S III in India from its online retail store. The store, which is still in beta, is offering consumers the option to book their units for Rs 2.000 and was first spotted by our friends at Fonearena. Samsung is also promising a free gift with every booking though it is not revealing details of the gift or the price of the phone. In the past Samsung has bundled covers and Bluetooth headsets as freebies.

The Galaxy S III is already set to become Samsung’s best-selling smartphone of all time as reports trickle in about it already having pre-booked 9 million units worldwide. Samsung will be launching it first in Europe on May 29 followed by its India launch, which is expected to happen in the first week of June itself.
