Is the premium pricing of Samsung Galaxy S III justified? Will it take on the competition from iPhone, HTC?

Samsung Galaxy SIII, billed largely as the iPhone 4S killer and perhaps iPhone 5 (whenever Apple launches it) killer, was launched in India today at a whopping Rs 43,180.

With such a premium price, that is very close to iPhone 4S in India, the moot question is will the Indian consumers BUY it? Please DISCUSS.

Is Samsung going the iPhone way in India?

Looks like if you were to consider the superiorly-specced Galaxy SIII that comes with a 1.4GHz quad core processor, 4.8-inch touchscreen, 1280 x 720 pixel resolution, a Siri-like voice assistant, S-Voice, and a host of other bells and whistles.

While the iPhone 4S with 16GB inbuilt storage comes with a price tag of Rs 44,450, the Galaxy SIII with 16GB of inbuilt storage has been priced at Rs 43,180.

To make up for it, though, the Galaxy S III, that sports Super AMOLED screen, provides for micro SDXC card support till 64 gig capacity.

Also, called as the Super smartphone, because of its wonderful features, the S III comes loaded with Google's latest Ice Cream Sandwich operating system.

To top up the super-fluid ICS, the S III showcases the latest version of its TouchWiz UI that the company calls Nature UX (UX stands for user experience).

But do all these features justify a premium pricing? Will the Galaxy S III really emerge as the iPhone killer? Will the cost-conscious Indian buyer go or it?

Please DISCUSS.
