Black Samsung Galaxy S3 confirmed

A black version of the Samsung Galaxy S3 has now been confirmed after UK retailer MobileFun began listing the product on its website.

Earlier today we reported a couple of leaks which suggested a black model of the popular Galaxy S3 could be on the way, but now the re-coloured handset is available for pre-order on a UK retailers web store.

The web store listing shows the device available as a SIM free purchase for £499.95 for the 16GB model, which also has Micro SD capability. No other storage variants are listed.

You can buy the handset now but it won't land on your doorstep for another four to six weeks according to MobileFun's page.

There's no change to the spec from the existing models so you still get a 1.4GHz quad core Exynos chip, 1GB of RAM, a 2100mAh battery pack and a 4.8-inch 720p Super AMOLED display.

The earlier leak reportedly showed a listing on Carphone Warehouse's database, so you can expect the device to become available for pre-order there and from other retailers in the next few weeks.
