The Android 4.0 powerhouse will be available with Three on its One Plan for £34 per month, although the service provider told TechRadar that it is yet to finalise its contract options.

Phones 4U and Vodafone will offer the handset at £36 per month, with the latter allowing customers 500MB of data and 1,200 mins call time for that price. The 32GB model will be exclusive to Vodafone for the first month.

The Carphone Warehouse will sell the Galaxy S3 at the same price on any network, and will throw in a bundle of accessories for customers who purchase the handset early.

O2 customers can walk away with a free handset if they sign up for a £41 per month contract with 1GB of data and 600 minutes included.

Samsung lifted the lid on the Galaxy S3 at a press event in London last night (May 3).
