Samsung GT I9300 benchmark with Exynos 4412 with a 400mhz Mali-400?:

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sams...hmark-appears-poised-to-rule-them-all_id29364
[Galaxy S III General] :
I had already posted that previously. Someone in the Beyond3D forum found in the Samsung's kernel dump that the Mali400 was clocked at

440MHz

(assuming it won't be increased further in the final build).

http://forum.beyond3d.com/showpost.php?p=1634670&postcount=316

At this level, it's faster than both Tegra3 and iPhone4S GPU.

Anyone interested to learn more on Exynos 4412, check the following link:

NEW TEASER 2
[Galaxy S III General] lim_ryan:
any clue in the video from the pro?
[Galaxy S III General] xath23:
apparently it's still loading...
[Galaxy S III General] tietherope:
At least this video has something to it, if there was only the first video I would be mad. The sheep part is HILARIOUS!!
[Galaxy S III General] sahibunlimited:
What are the two stones like things at the end of the video?
[Galaxy S III General] xath23:
So it's gunna be a pebble design? Not sure if i like that.. then again it's something different.. Also since the first video was in 3D does that mean we get a 3D screen? I kinda doubt AMOLED technologie is ready for that since it would need to be twice the resolution.
[Galaxy S III General] jkxklutz:
Samsung seems to incorporate a lot of Zen Buddhism elements into their principles and marketing strategies so it could be that..

Personally I didn't take that to mean the design..
[Galaxy S III General] MTA99:
More likely they're showing the colour/finish of the back, like the colour swatches you get in a car brochure
[Galaxy S III General] uvaman:
I was so fck laughing when I saw the sheeps ... hahahah we all knew it was teaser...

Well these two stones could be colors of sgs3....
[Galaxy S III General] Goku80:
hehe funny video in the end regarding the sheep....baaaa baaa hehe:D:D but why oh why call it the Next Galaxy...that is just wrong Sammy just wrong..SIII is what it should be called not take a leaf out of Apples book..big thumbs down on that
[Galaxy S III General] xath23:
My guess is the whole "The Next Galaxy" slogan is just the name for the lineup they will introduce on the 3rd... i9300, i9500 and i9800..
[Galaxy S III General] uvaman:
Yea totally ^^ Sheeps = Apple followers
[Galaxy S III General] aydc:
WTF? All that we got was two crappy teaser videos?
[Galaxy S III General] Scared27:
Did you really expect anything else with the knowledge that the big reveal will be on the 3rd?
[Galaxy S III General] brar.arsh:
Yes!! And you can do NOTHING.. :cool:
[Galaxy S III General] ronhoover88:
Actually the sheep were us who were waiting for 20hrs for nothing:p:p:D:mad:
[Galaxy S III General] uvaman:
Woot woot

WTF is that , a man!? wizard ? Is he playing with the SGS3 :eek:

Does he has something with teaser 3,4 ^^

Those dummies at Samsung can call Apple whatever they want, at least Apple's site doesn't go down on a product campaign during a countdown. LOL!!
[Galaxy S III General] hIdd3N-:
apple sites get shutdown before release of a new product. so...?
[Galaxy S III General] tietherope:
Drops of paint showing colour and finish. That's my thoughts. No "pebble" phone like everyone is saying.
[Galaxy S III General] sohebq:
That scrabble game of letters is not working for me. I know where it leads, but I want to play it. :D
[Galaxy S III General] tietherope:
The phone will not be called "the Next Galaxy". They are just promoting it as "the next" Galaxy phone. It's the same as if they said "our new Samsung Galaxy Phone" or "the next device in the Galaxy line up".
[Galaxy S III General] jkxklutz:
Yes.
[Galaxy S III General] Scared27:
I'm sorry to say, but you (and anyone else expecting something more) were foolish ;)
[Galaxy S III General] pacc:
It was funny the jokes around SGSI and Iphone

It was ok SII again joking with Iphone

Now it's kinda embarrassing and annoying... poor marketing from Samsung.

Apple doesn't need to call sheep to any competitor, maybe because it's still the natural leader and doesn't envy other products.

In my point of view, S3 started pretty bad... not the way to market a top product.
[Galaxy S III General] Logi_Ca1:
It's not.

No doubt Samsung would have done some market research. Customer segmentation is after all one of the essential things to do when designing a product and an advertising campaign.

It's my belief that there are people out there that will buy an iPhone no matter what. The sheep, if you will.

Then there are the thinking, rational people that do make a conscious decision about the phone to buy.

Samsung is targeting these rational people. Because the iSheep will always be sheep. No point wasting advertising dollars on them.

Meanwhile, it has an effect on existing Galaxy users as well. It reinforces their desire to stand out from the crowd, and thus be more likely to get the S3. So at once, Samsung is targeting existing Galaxy users, and the more rational iPhone users.
[Galaxy S III General] SmilerOnline:
I'm not sure if this is the reason we are not able to access 'TheNextGalaxy.com' but I just noticed something to do with BLOCK_ID show up in my Browsers status bar for a short period just after it finished saying 'waiting for response from thenextgalaxy.com...'

could be nothing, but I thought I'd mention it anyway...
[Galaxy S III General] pacc:
Why isn't an Iphone owner rational and conscious? freedom of choice?

Still think it's very lame from Samsung, probably need to call others names to feel superior.
[Galaxy S III General] tietherope:
You're missing that there are iPhone owners who bought the phone because it is what works best for them based on the alternative choices. Then there are those who bought the phone simply because of the name on it. Those ones are the sheep, there is a big difference.
[Galaxy S III General] iucidium:
They used the terms that are used now for iPhone owners. Knowing how susceptible they are to marketing - maybe the sheep thing is enough for them to rationalise and actually consider switching?? Saying that I knew somebody who exchanged a GS2 for a 4S because he couldn't do percentage calculations on the GS2.
[Galaxy S III General] iucidium:
Bingo. Brand loyalty.
[Galaxy S III General] Logi_Ca1:
I'm not saying that all of them aren't. Some are certainly rational; I certainly addressed that in my post. But have you ever encountered an iPhone user that would not touch an Android phone, no matter what just because there isn't an Apple logo on the back? I have. Anecdotal evidence perhaps, but it has influenced my view of iPhone users. Some of them aren't rational.

In case you didn't know, Apple has been doing the same thing for years. Remember the Macs vs PC ads? Years of insults right there.

Of course, you can say that it's childish for Samsung to act in the same way. You are probably right. But obviously their marketing department decided that it's the way to go.
[Galaxy S III General] pacc:
I've been with galaxy/android from 1st day, and got SI, later SII and now looking forward for SIII. I just wished they focused on their target audience.
[Galaxy S III General] richyy74:
Thats the point. You are not the target audience for these ads. You will buy an SIII no matter what. The target audience is exactly the iSheep who bought an iPhone because of the hype.

Küldve az én GT-I9100-emről Tapatalk használatával.
[Galaxy S III General] Logi_Ca1:
I'm not sure if the iSheep can be converted. If anything, they will be enraged and probably more pro-Apple after seeing this ad. As I said in my previous post, the target audience is probably the more rational iPhone users.

As for you pacc, I think Samsung's money is better spent keeping you happy post-purchase, via loyalty rewards or better warranty service.
[Galaxy S III General] Evangelion01:
If Android users are so rational, then they won't be inclined to feel the need to 'stand out' from these so-called sheep - that's not rational. It's not the best marketing from Samsung, but perhaps it was only intended to be a point of discussion for nerds.

If it's a war of brands, Samsung will never win. Millions of people are willing to buy an iPhone no matter what because, like it or not, the Apple brand is associated with high quality. That's not the same for Samsung. Even their Galaxy line is diluted, because devices like the Galaxy Ace exist. The Galaxy brand is not solely associated with high quality.

Now, Samsung almost got the marketing of the Galaxy Note right. They simply showed the features of the phone and its unique selling point, all with a backing track that arouses emotion. That's how they should continue, but next time not so rushed and with a better tagline than "phone? Tablet? It's Galaxy Note!". That is just horrible.

Also, like I've mentioned many times in this thread, Samsung needs to continue the design lanugage of the Galaxy Nexus. It's simple. It's unique. It's absolutely beautiful (well, the front is). Putting your logo on the front of a device is a big no-no in today's world. Apple has probably the most valuable brand in the world, but they would never smack their logo or any text onto the front of the iPhone. It completely ruins the aesthetics of a device.

Design the phone so that people will know it's a Samung device without you plastering your logo onto the front of it.
[Galaxy S III General] sahibunlimited:
Is this sgs3 thread or samsung vs apple?
[Galaxy S III General] Goku80:
by the looks of it Sammy vs apple mate.maybe the thread name should be changed:p

seriously though i hate this fanboy attitude. both phones are great. the next iphone and the next s3 will be the the top two selling phones in the world...plus my baby is not that bad anyway;)

but seriously though. Iphone has its good points and the Galaxy has its own..it is down to people what they want to buy at the end of the day no matter what...and yes us android users have more freedom to do what we want with our phones being stock. but once you jailbreak your iphone my word that phone can become a beast of a phone and has so many features is unbelievable...

but must admit watching people arguing who is best kinda entertaining though:D
[Galaxy S III General] .Arkham:
Yes.

;)
[Galaxy S III General] jkxklutz:
? I think it's very possible to from something more than what we've seen, if even a little bit, yet not be anywhere close to what they would reveal on May 3rd. If the video did show more I provably wouldn't say that. I'd think that calling that foolish is certainly too strong of a word, again especially because they didn't reveal anything at all. But from your comments it sounds like you were expecting exactly this, a teaser commercial?

Samsung Galaxy S III GPU benchmark score is Out, Tops Charts

http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entry/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-GPU-benchmark-score-is-Out-Tops-Charts

It looks fake to me. How come s2 is defeating ONE X???
[Galaxy S III General] sooyong94:
Yup. The krait should demolish the tegra 3 in terns of GPU performance.
[Galaxy S III General] clax6:
samsung are simply playing the game. they know that they will have there fans and that apple will have theres. they are pulling the right strings of the right audience. there marketing is very clever they are keeping you on side and are encouraging the conflict and competition. its good press.

i just hope it will live up to the expectations of what we are all waiting for.

i think that its going to be a new look to make it stand out from the crowd maybe the blue on the poster will be the colour of the phone. not just down to specs
[Galaxy S III General] sohebq:
I really don't know about the rest of the world, but in my country those who buy iphone are the ones having no sense of smartphones. They just buy as a "status symbol". I never saw an experienced smartphone use picking iphone just for what it offers.

In my university, I have won several debates over iphone vs samsung galaxy. I have pushed many apple fanboys to samsung galaxy and believe me they never want to go back to apple. I guess the war is not between apple and samusung, its between ios and android or I can say freedom vs limitation.
[Galaxy S III General] NardVa:
Samsung has become the new apple when it comes to sheep followers. There are a lot people out there wanting to buy the next Galaxy phone just because it's the next Galaxy phone. It's funny how Samsung wants to become the same company they poke fun at.
[Galaxy S III General] pacc:
Well, their marketing failed on me, they're doing this for years, and for how long will they keep disrespecting other people choices? Now Apple, maybe later what? HTC? or LG?

Samsung it's time to draw your own path, and quit *****ing others.
[Galaxy S III General] xath23:
At least you get a real update everytime a new S phone comes out. Apple is selling the same product over and over with only small changes. There has never been a big jump like Galaxy S to SII in the entire iPhone lifetime.. Of course we will have to wait and see about the SIII.

Also they never really say it's Apple they are addressing with the sheeps but deep down Apple sheeps know what they are and thats why they feel offended :p
[Galaxy S III General] pacc:
In a way the last part of the video ("sheeps"), made us talk about Apple and Iphone, and really it was a nice free advert for Apple.
[Galaxy S III General] hIdd3N-:
my god stop it now... this is NOT A APPLE VERSUS SAMSUNG THREAD. If you hate Samsung marketing then write them a letter and tell them that they insulted you.
[Galaxy S III General] xath23:
Also I think they are blowing the whole "be different" concept up a bit because of the whole lawsuit and accusations of copying the iPhone etc. etc. This time they are proud to be original (I'm guessing here) and they make sure to show it.
[Galaxy S III General] clax6:
it may of failed on you but you may be in the minority and its the majority that counts.

and i dont think they are disrespecting other peoples choices they are simply standing there ground and like i said before playing along with the banter
[Galaxy S III General] pacc:
We are writing about SIII sneak peak videos, I really don't see why you're so angry about free/open chat, maybe you should want to create a list of forbidden words and subjects.
[Galaxy S III General] hIdd3N-:
this a forum with rules. not a chat. one rules is: don't go offtopic.

and if you want a list:

forbidden topics in this thread:

#1 Apple/iPhone vs. Samsung/Android.

#2 ...
[Galaxy S III General] pacc:
Since 2008, I'm well aware of forum rules, of which I've broken none so far and always on-topic.

Good luck playing admin/moderator.
[Galaxy S III General] Toss3:
So whaddaya all think about the iPhone 5 and how do you think it'll compare to the SGS3? :p /s

Really psyched for the May 3rd event! Wish Samsung would have given a bit more to go on with the teaser videos, because I'm really getting anxious here.

[Galaxy S III General] @rbiter:
Surprised more people aren't hoping for a premium sound chip. Too much want horsepower. And I think it is all but certain that gs3 will have a Mali 604 but which one? And I hope it is 32nm. It should be a power sipper unless Samsung borks power management.

bow chicka wow wow.
[Galaxy S III General] Tool-kit:
Uhm, doesn't look to convincing, the design of that phone looks :confused: ... I'm sure samsung can make the S3 look worth the wait. The design need to look a bit different, I need to see that there is a difference before I even switch the phone on.
[Galaxy S III General] jj03:
says the man on the htc bandwagon...oh the irony of an idiot...lol.
[Galaxy S III General] diehard2222:
Yep best ignore him.

The sgs3 will be android phone of the year and possibly better than the iPhone 5. No question about it.
[Galaxy S III General] ascariss:
This is why I still have a separate walkman and use it as my primary audio device. I've tried listening to the audio on my S2, and it still isn't that great as I would want it.
[Galaxy S III General] nikzDHD:
We should see something completely different to the past devices hopefully to avoid all this your phone looks like an iPhone debate. Whatever gets released it should be good Samsung have always been ahead of other Android competitors recently.

Maybe we will see their own OS as well on a device? As well as an Android device. Not bada but that tizien thing.
[Galaxy S III General] Logi_Ca1:
I bought a Sansa Clip Zip as well so that in the future one flaw like bad sound quality won't turn me away from an otherwise great phone. It's too bad really. Seems like only Apple cares about great sound quality from their phones.

Disclaimer: Not being an Apple fanboy here. Check out RMAA results for iPhone 4S vs Galaxy S2 and HTC One X and you will see what I'm talking about.
[Galaxy S III General] override182:
Most didnt know that smdk4x12 contains ref to wolfson but perhaps samsung might change it during production of the phone. Try gooling up wolfson and smdk4x12 and you will find it. I asked supercurio on it and he confirms it points to the version of it but that is the defaults of 4412.. We dont know either sammy changed or stick to defaults
[Galaxy S III General] xath23:
I don't care all that much because I have dedicated gadgets for music. I can't stand touch when it comes to that since I want to be able to blindly operate it while it's in my pocket. Sure I don't mind a better chipset but performance codec support etc. is more important imo.

Also most people don't have high end heaphones, so they won't be able to notice a difference anyway.
[Galaxy S III General] coradux:
I want to see an iSheep vs PC commercial.
[Galaxy S III General] ascariss:
No idea how the iphone sound quality is, never checked it. One think my walkman lacks is codec support, if the device could play flac, I would be golden. Plus the built in noise-cancellation is also a huge bonus especially on the train, or tram.
[Galaxy S III General] xath23:
Not sure if it got mentioned before but there is an "Unpacked App" on Google Play

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsungmobile.unpacked2012_1

There is not much to see there right now but the design is pretty unique, maybe thats the direction they are heading in terms of UI with the new Galaxy phones..
[Galaxy S III General] @rbiter:
well, it's not just about high end headphones. some of us output to receivers and such. cheap sound vs a TI or wolfson makes a big difference.
[Galaxy S III General] tbong777:
I have an Itouch 4.....Have not used it since the Captivate SGS II was not as good as the Captivate but stillon par with the Apple because of the settings one cam make with Vodoo Louder and PowerAmp. The Note is just as good as the SGS II. Goodt headphones make a difference as well. I use the Westone 3.

In the mean time the iTouch sits on an Alarm cradle and never gets used. Going to give it away like I did the iTouch before it. Don't need i anything since the SGS II
[Galaxy S III General] rydeordie99:
Maybe you don't notice the difference, but everyone I've asked can easily hear the difference between an iPod touch and the s2. It is even more apparent when I run audio into aux in my car. I have to keep an old iPod touch just for music so I'm hoping the S3 fixes it
[Galaxy S III General] Toss3:
More rumours here

The SGS3 is apparently going to sport 5 capacitive buttons along with a 4,8" screen.
[Galaxy S III General] ziggazee:
Thanks.. I can watch the event live on my phone now. It also says galaxy s3.. first time seeing Samsung themselves call it that, I think there's no doubt now that the phone will be called s3 and not "the next Galaxy" lol
[Galaxy S III General] NoOneCanHelpMe:
I prefer high grade plastic, cuz it's gonna be more durable and less prone to deformation in the body after a drop :)))

also aluminium could make the phone have issues with reception etc. Almost all recent HTC phones have death grip (correct me if I'm wrong :p )

Merry christmas to all :)))

[Galaxy S III General] veyka:
Actually the SGS2 has two SMP cores, but the 2nd is hotpluged in and out depending on demand, aka utilisation of the primary core.

So most of the time the phone is a single core phone.

AMT vs SMT plus hotpluging is another debate altogether.

Clock for clock the A15 is supposed to be faster and use less power than the A9, so I would rather see a dual A15 over a quad A9, also the reasons that tegra 3 is more power efficient than the tegra 2 is due to a better manufacturing node, and a 5th low power core
[Galaxy S III General] GIR:
I'm right? YAY!! And I'm right about the qudratic too, which I don't fully understand because I'm pretty sure that doesn't matter. Care to explain a bit more for a stupid person like me?

Who the hell posted a pic? DUDES. Is that **** supposed to be the S 3? It's ugly as hell. Are you 13 years old? ffs
[Galaxy S III General] danielsf:
In all honesty I don't care whether the s3 has dual core A15 or quad A9 much (although I would slightly prefer dual core a15), all I care is that it will beats meanly the iphone 5 and htc whatever. And that Samsung wont release a galaxy s3 xl, xe, z, hd, s after a month of the s3 original coming out (like a curtain other phone manufacture; HTC), to alienate their original S3 buyers. This coming from an annoyed ex-original desire user! Sorry, I still have a bit of resentment towards HTC treating their original desire owner, it's what made me me switch to the s2. :) Althought I do hope the battery life on the s3 is just as good as the gs2's. :)
