If you're looking to get a great deal on a very impressive smartphone, you can grab the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 for the very low price of a penny. The Samsung Galaxy S3 is still one of the most popular smartphones on the market and we recently reported that Samsung is currently testing an Android 4.2.2 update for the Galaxy S3 that will include some of the popular features found on the newly released Galaxy S4.
Some of the new features in the leaked Android 4.2.2 update include the updated lock screen found on the Galaxy S4, which supports new widgets, unlock effects with ripples and light animations. Galaxy S3 owners will also get the Galaxy S4's updated S-Voice, Samsung's answer to Siri. Another popular feature is Voice Control, which will allow Galaxy S3 owners to control different functions of the smartphone with their voice. This smartphone is pretty much guaranteed to see significant updates to Android since Samsung is already testing Android 4.2.2, and it should help you feel confident that you'll be running the latest and greatest version of Android, something that most smartphone manufacturers don't provide.
The Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 features a 4.8-inch, 306ppi (pixels per inch) 1280 x 720 Super AMOLED HD display, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean (will soon be getting Android 4.2.2), a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor, 16GB of internal memory and 2GB of RAM. It also has an 8-megapixel rear camera with zero shutter lag and LED Flash, a 1.9-megapixel front camera, 1080p HD video capture (rear camera), 720p HD video capture (front-facing camera), 4G LTE radio, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC (near field communications), a microSD slot with support for up to 64GB microSD cards and a 2,100 mAh removable battery.
Amazon is offering the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 for $0.01 when signing a new 2-year contract. The online retail giant is also throwing in free two-day shipping on the Galaxy S3 to make the deal even sweeter. A couple of months ago, Galaxy S3 was available for no less than $49.99, and you could get it for that price, only if you searched around hard enough. However, thanks to the launch of Galaxy S4, which currently is rocking, in terms of sales, Amazon probably thought it fit to give away Galaxy S3 for almost free.
