Pebble Blue Galaxy S III delayed, Samsung explains why

When Samsung announced their Galaxy S III, the brand also revealed that upon launch the smartphone will be available in two colour variants - marble white and pebble blue. However, when the handset releases tomorrow in India, as scheduled, the only colour option that will be available will be the marble white variant, while the pebble blue version will be available only by the second week of June. As per a report by GSMArena, Samsung contacted them to reveal that the delay was due to the company's attempt to provide their customers with the best internal quality standards.

The statement by Samsung reads, “Samsung’s Galaxy SIII Pebble Blue version comes with a newly invented blue colour and special hyper-glaze material. In order to meet the highest internal quality standards and to provide the best quality Galaxy SIII to customers, a short supply of Pebble Blue version is expected in some regions in the next 2-3 weeks. Samsung is working hard to ensure that customers will get the Pebble Blue coloured devices as soon as possible.”
