Maxis, Celcom, DiGi, U Mobile Plans Compared (Samsung Galaxy SIII)
I have added in the table above the additional column to reflect the comparison between Maxis, DiGi, Celcom and U Mobile for the packages for the Samsung Galaxy SIII. U Mobile had just released their package today, therefore the above table has now been updated to reflect the comparison.
Judging from the previous post, U Mobile is the cheapest in terms of total commitment amount the other telcos for the period of 24 months. The closest to the U Mobile U28 plan is the DG Smart Plan 48 by DiGi which has a total commitment amount of RM2681, a difference of RM410. Both the telcos offer 1GB data plan only. Calls are pay-per-use. But on the U Mobile package, there is 100 free SMS to U Mobile users and 200 free SMS to other network operators.
[U Mobile] Samsung Galaxy SIII - As Low As RM588
U Mobile had just released their package for the Samsung Galaxy SIII. The registration of interest (ROI) started more than 2 weeks ago. The package U Premium goes as low as RM588 for the device. You will have to pay RM168/month for the next 24 months. With that, you get 5GB worth of data plan, 800 SMS and 800 mins worth of calls. Out of the 800 SMS and 800 mins, half of it is for U Mobile to U Mobile and the other half is to other network operators. An upfront payment of RM1344 is required. Total payment after 24 months would be RM588 + (RM168 x 24) = RM4620.
As for the lowest commitment plan U28, the device price is RM1599 and upfront payment of RM224 is applicable. You get 1 GB of data, 100 SMS to U Mobile, 200 SMS to other network operators. Calls are based on per-usage.
In total after 24 months, you will pay RM1599 + (RM28 x 24) = RM2271.
This is to date the cheapest package for the Samsung Galaxy SIII.

[U Mobile] Samsung Galaxy SIII Registration-Of-Interest
Better late than never. U Mobile is gearing up for the Samsung Galaxy SIII release. You can place your registration of interest (ROI) starting today 14th June till 25th June and ready for collection only on the 29th June. As the stocks are still limited across Malaysia, I believe U Mobile will also be having stock constraints as well.

[DiGi] Samsung Galaxy SIII Lowest Package Device Price Revised to RM1299
DiGi's RM999 plans has also ended. The new plan had been revised to RM1299 for the device price when you subscribe to DG Smart Plan 88. Total commitment after 24 months is RM1299 + (RM83 x 24) = RM3291 after RM5/month auto-billing deduction. Previously, you pay RM999 + (RM83 x 24) = RM2991. There is a significant of RM300 increment from the promo rate.

[Maxis] Samsung Galaxy SIII Lowest Package Device Price Revised to RM1399
As mentioned previously, the RM999 promo for the Maxis Samsung Galaxy SIII has ended on the 3rd of June and now the new package price with the lowest device price is RM1399.
The new package would require a advance payment of RM500 instead of RM900 previously for new and Maxis subscribers who are less than 1 year with Maxis. You would be required to subscribe to either Value First, Value Plus 50, 80, 150, 250 or 500 plus 1GB or 3GB data plan. Taking into usual lowest commitment plans, you would end up paying RM1399 + (RM30 x 24) + (RM48 x 24) = RM3271 after 24 months.
In the previous promo, you will pay RM999 + (RM30 x 24) + (RM68 x 24) = RM3351. That gives a difference of RM80 but you only have 1GB data plan in the current new plan. In the previous RM999 promo, you will have to subscribe to 3GB data plan.

Maxis, Celcom, DiGi Plans Compared (Samsung Galaxy SIII)
The above are the comparison between the 3 major telcos on the plans for the Samsung Galaxy SIII which went on sale today. The comparison are based on the minimum commitment duration.
The only direct possible comparison is the 12 months contract plans for the 3 telcos. Judging by the total calculation of the entire tenure of the contract, DiGi has the most affordable at RM2315. Do take note that in the DG Smart Plan 48, there are no calls/SMS bundled in the contract. Only 1GB data plan. The RM2315 has also taken into account the RM5/month rebate when you sign up for auto-billing.
Sign up for auto-billing can be a hassle as you will need to go to the DiGi Center and not the DiGi Store for the registration.
The next closest to DiGi's price is the Maxis Value First (RM30/month) + 1GB (RM48/month) plan. It sums up to be RM2735 after 12 months. The difference between Maxis and DiGi upon 12 months contract is RM420. Taking 420 and divide by 12 months would give you RM35/month additional charges when you subscribe to Maxis. As mentioned earlier, DiGi does not have calls/SMS bundled. Therefore if you were to make calls/SMS worth RM35/month in DiGi, it would give you the same total amount upon completion of the 12 months contract. So the RM35/month of calls/SMS should be your key point in choosing between Maxis and DiGi.
As for Celcom, it has the advantage of RM50 worth of calls/SMS. If you're on the high usage of calls/SMS, Celcom should be the choice between the 3 as the difference between Maxis and Celcom is only RM99 which translate to RM8.25/month additional to Maxis.
The above are only my personal views. Please do take into account the services and coverage when deciding on which telco to subscribe to.
Update (01.07.12): Comparison table updated to reflect U Mobile. Please click here.

Samsung Galaxy S3 in Malaysia by Early June 2012
Samsung Galaxy S3 was reported to be in Malaysian shore as early as June 2012. Below is the excerpt taken from Bernama with the interview with Samsung Electronic's Director of Regional Mobile Business for South East Asia, Oceania and Taiwan.
I assume the AP units would get in Malaysia at least 1 month earlier than the official launching dates.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Revealed
The much awaited next generation Samsung Galaxy was recently launched and from my observations, there seemed to be mixed feedback. Some thinks that the Galaxy S3 doesn't really have much improvements and some likes the new outlook. My personal opinion, the Samsung Galaxy S3 looks curvy on the edge if you compare to the S2 or Galaxy Note but other than that, the updates are all internal. This brings us to similar scenario that we are familiar with when Apple launches iPhone 4S after the iPhone 4. At least Samsung did something to the outlook. The S3 is only 8.6mm thick.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 is powered by 1.4GHz quad-core processor with 1GB of RAM. I guess the most disappointed part of the S3 would be the display. The S3 has a 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display with screen resolution of 1280 x 720 with 306dpi which packs slightly lesser dpi than the HTC One X (HTC One X has 4.7-inch display) or the previous Galaxy Nexus. It was confirmed that the S3 display is the PenTile display technology, similar to the Galaxy Note. For screen resolution as high as the S3, PenTile or RGB display does not make too much of a difference. In fact PenTile technology was said to consume lesser power. The S3 has a battery capacity of 2100mAh.
As for the camera, it has 8MP and 1.9MP on the front-facing. At a quick glance, there are no difference in terms of the camera hardware when compared to previous S2 or Galaxy Note. Samsung on the other hand concentrated to develop on the software part of the camera instead. With much hype over the new HTC One X camera capabilities, the S3 new camera software enhancements will give HTC a run for its money. S3 camera is now capable of Burst-Mode which captures 20 pictures at one go. On top of that, there is a feature called "Select Best Shot" which takes 8 shots at a single capture and automatically select the best picture out of the 8 shots taken earlier. It is also capable of 1080p video capturing with still picture capturing simultaneously. Though the still picture would only be a max of 6MP.
As for the front-facing camera, Samsung built-in a new feature call "Smart Stay" which will prevent the device from dimming the screen when a video call is being carried out.
Other notable new feature would be NFC capabilities as well as Samsung's new S Voice. If you ask me, that's the competition for Siri in iOS. Video below shows capabilities of the S Voice.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 comes in 2 color, namely Pebble Blue and Marble White. It has internal memory capacities of 16GB, 32GB and 64GB. All models are microSD expendable up to 64GB. On top of that, Samsung provides free 50GB dropbox storage for up to 2 years.
