Samsung Galaxy S III Official Accessories Revealed

I am a big proponent for any mobile phone accessories but just as I have come to learn, many manufacturers have come up with great phones which deserve super accessories which they go ahead to manufacture. I have had chance to use revolutionary accessories like the Sony Smart Watch which I will say any enthusiast will kill to get his hands on. The sad thing is that many mobile phone manufacturers tend to leave the accessories behind ones the phone sales pick. I see a bigger market for branded accessories from the likes of Sony, Samsung and Nokia but they aren’t doing much when it comes to marketing of the accessories. I hope they see what I see for that is the reason as to why there exist the likes of Jabra and the new players in the market.

Samsung has just released press photos of their official Samsung Galaxy S III accessories. Included are the C-Pen, Wi-Fi Display Hub, Flip Cover, and battery charger and stand.

Probably the coolest accessory is the Flip Cover. This case is unique in that it replaces your S III’s back cover and contains a flap that closes to protect the phone’s screen. This helps keep the case from adding too much bulk to the phone while still protecting it, which is a nice touch.

The C-Pen is a capacitive stylus that is visibly chunkier than the Galaxy Note’s S-Pen. Of course, the C-Pen does not live inside the phone’s housing, so it can be better contoured for holding solidly in your hand.

The stand and battery charger will hold the phone upright and has a battery charging slot in the back to charge any extra batteries you want to keep on the ready. Unfortunately, it doesn’t charge the battery in the phone itself while sitting in the stand.

The Wi-Fi Display Hub allows you to project the phone’s screen out through a full-sized HDMI port. This is useful for watching photos and video from the phone on a big screen (one that doesn’t use a PenTile display… I kid, I kid!).

No news on the release dates for these accessories, but we’d expect it would be right around the release of the S III in Europe.

I hope that this will not just be for the flagship as other versions of Samsung (a lot) need accessories and they can as well be compatible with the rest of the droids in the market with slight standardization. Let’s wait and see on whether Samsung will be bundling some this accessories with the flagship or they will be going all out with separate sales. Finally, I hope that the quality of material does not give a cheap feel just as it is with a majority of Samsung products which have a cheap plastic feel.
