Samsung Galaxy S3 pre-orders begin in Egypt

Samsung Galaxy S3 pre-orders have begun in Egypt through a retailer known as Raya Shop.

According to a report from YouMobile the device will officially launch sometime in the middle of June in the Middle East region.

The Galaxy S3 is already available for pre-order in England through various websites and retailers including Carphone Warehouse, and the carrier Three. Also Amazon is offering the device for pre-order in the United States.

A majority of the retailers seem to be offering the unlocked version which will be priced at $800.

The site's listing also reveals that the device will be released on May 29. This means customers could get their hands on a Galaxy S3 as early as the last week of May or first week of June.

However, none of the major U.S. carriers have announced when they would be releasing the new Android handset.
