Samsung Shows Off Four New Colours Of Galaxy S III, Including The Previously Rumored Black Version

With leaks coming from all sorts of UK-based sites about the existence of a black Galaxy S III, we kind of knew it was coming. What we didn’t know was that it would be bringing three other new colours with it. The four new options are designed to “take their inspiration from the Earth’s richest materials,” apparently, and include “Amber Brown, Garnet Red, Sapphire Black and Titanium Grey.”

Ignoring the fact that sapphires are generally blue, these new Galaxy S IIIs are some handsome looking handsets. They’ve even gone to the trouble of matching the button backlights to the phone colour, giving the red one a red button glow, and the brown one a brown glow. It’s the little things, you know?

The announcement, which was made on the official Samsung blog, says that “availability of colours will vary depending on the country and carrier/retailer.” This means people with a strong colour preference may have to import from elsewhere, but you’ll no doubt be able to find all the different versions in unlocked form online. If you’re getting one on a contract, though, you’ll have to hope your carrier gets the one you want in.
