Samsung Galaxy S III coming to Telus in 16GB and 32GB flavors, pre-orders starting now

Canadian carrier Telus is now taking pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy S III. The carrier is offering both the 16GB and 32GB versions. The former will cost you $159.99 with a minimum $50 monthly plan and your signature on a three-year contract. The 32GB handset is priced at $209.99 with a minimum $50 monthly plan and a signed three-year pact.

Because the Canadian carriers are offering 4G LTE connectivity, they will be receiving the version of the Samsung Galaxy S III powered by the dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor rather than the model powered by the quad-core 1.4GHz Exynos processor.

Now that the most anticipated Android phone of the year is available for pre-orders in Canada, perhaps it won't be too long until we start hearing from the major players in the States. Last week, a leaked screenshot revealed that the phone will be launched in Canada on June 20th, the same date that another leak showed the device being released for T-Mobile.
