Samsung Galaxy S III in purple supposedly coming to Sprint

Just because the Samsung Galaxy S IV is to be announced in a few days, it doesn't mean that the Galaxy S III will be retired anytime soon. In fact, once the new flagship is on the market, the price of its predecessor is likely to go down significantly, thus attracting buyers on a tighter budget. And to make the deal even sweeter for those potential customers, U.S. carrier Sprint will be launching a new Samsung Galaxy S III variant.

According to data contained in the screenshot that was sent to us this morning, Sprint is readying a purple Samsung Galaxy S III. The said device, carrying 16GB of native storage space, is supposedly scheduled to launch on April 12, or in about 5 weeks from today. Unfortunately, pricing has not been disclosed by our tipster. We don't have an image either (what you see is just a mock-up) so the exact shade of purple used for the said device is also a mystery.

Of course, one should keep in mind that all of this is just a rumor. The existence of the purple Samsung Galaxy S III for Sprint has not been confirmed by an official source, so don't get too excited about it yet.
