A certain Samsung Galaxy S III (SCH-I535) has just been approved by Bluetooth Special Interest Group (Bluetooth SIG) organization.
Although the smartphone is said to come with CDMA support, unless we see some bands listed, we can’t be sure that the Galaxy S III will be launched at Verizon Wireless. According to the documents filed at Bluetooth SIG, Samsung SCH-I535 is aimed at the North American market, though Verizon is not the only CDMA carrier in the region. Obviously, the smartphone is integrated with Bluetooth version 4.0 technology, allowing for wireless connection to optional, compatible hands-free accessories such as Bluetooth technology enabled headsets and car kits.
Lately, we’ve seen multiple Galaxy S III variants being approved at either Bluetooth SIG or FCC (Federal Communications Commission), though this is the first time the SCH-I535 makes headlines. We’re expecting the Galaxy S III to come to the United States with a huge 4.8-inch Super AMOLED (PenTile) capacitive touchscreen display that supports HD (720 x 1280 pixels) resolution, and features Corning Gorilla Glass 2 coating for extra protection. Unfortunately, instead of being one of the smartphone’ strong points, the display has been reason for ruckus among Samsung fans who were expecting the company to drop PenTile mobile displays for good.
All in all, the Galaxy S III will be powered by the latest Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system integrated with TouchWiz 4.0 UI. Moreover, the smartphone comes packed with several unique applications and services, which are meant to improve user’s experience with the phone. Some of the apps announced by Samsung include S-Voice, S-Beam, Direct Call, Smart Stay and AllShare.
Hardware-wise, it will be interesting to see what kind of SoC (system on a chip) the Galaxy S III will boast in North America. It’s likely there will be more than one version of the smartphone, so we expect the device to come with or without LTE support.
