You do realize the dual core A15 is actually better than any quad core, right? Research before you post please.

Transmission sent from a Galaxy S II, CODENAME style.
[Galaxy S III General] takeheart:
Hoo boy if Sprint first that'd make me very happy.
[Galaxy S III General] kurtiskobain:
you do realize that its still a matter of opinion, right?

i think a quad core note would be AZOME-as long as its not pentile -___-
[Galaxy S III General] 12MaNy:
1GB of RAM would be a bummer...
[Galaxy S III General] krisI0N:
there's a point when screens are to big..
[Galaxy S III General] swamp goblin:
That's exactly what I was thinking.. Throw in 1.5GB RAM, that exynos A15 Dual core, and that phone would dominate the market until christmas 2013..

With the "rumored" release date of over the summer in europe, I would expect Sprint to get it around october/november time, perfect timing for my upgrade..

Although this phone is supposed to blow our minds, I have a feeling it won't meet most of our expectations. Sounds like an incredible phone that I will be counting down for, but still.. All samsung has been trying to do is set the hype level to the max, and obviously it is working. Sounds awesome on paper, but we will have to see if it is really the best phone.... ever...
[Galaxy S III General] mattykinsx:
Uh, yeah.

I mean, why isn't RAM increasing?

I have a feeling that these specs aren't accurate.

Especially with the battery size.
[Galaxy S III General] xlGmanlx:
Unless this has access to some secret network sprint has, their dwindling "3G" speeds are going to cripple any device. I would be fine with my E4GT for another year, but their network has all but killed it for me. Plus network vision is no way going to be realized ahead of schedule and more than likely will see predictable delays, so its adios for me.
[Galaxy S III General] mattykinsx:
Uh...

Network vision is already being rolled out in several places with people reporting about 2mbit/s 3g speeds (and it's not even done in that area)
[Galaxy S III General] xlGmanlx:
Good luck with that, seems promising :rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] mattykinsx:
Um....how doesn't it?

"I'm going to stay with Sprint with all the problems....until they start fixing it!"

Huh?
[Galaxy S III General] master acehole:
Isn't anything after a gb of ram just bs? Cuz our phones handle anything np but either way I can't WAIT!!!!
[Galaxy S III General] daniel4653:
Yup mos def
[Galaxy S III General] ky0nkyon:
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the Mali 400 old news?
[Galaxy S III General] 12MaNy:
Yeah, I hope some of those proposed specs change before the announcement.
[Galaxy S III General] gtuansdiamm:
Wasn't it supposed to have a dualcore a15 instead of a quadcore a9 processor?

Ooh lets start guess the name of the sprint variant

Ill start

Samsung galaxy s3 hd epic touch 4g lte supercalifragilisticexpialidocious phone
[Galaxy S III General] swamp goblin:
Haha i'm going to have to guess:

Samsung Galaxy S 3; Sprint Epic 4G LTE Touch 2 HD
[Galaxy S III General] neverends:
I'll go with "Epic 4g LTE"
[Galaxy S III General] MultiLockOn:
Is anyone here going to be annoyed with the new galaxy if it uses a quad core a9 chip set instead of a dual core a15. I know it'll be amazing regardless, but I've got really high hopes for this thing.
[Galaxy S III General] freecharlesmanson:
You did catch the 4412 IF that's the chip set well sport a Mali mt604 not mp400 right op?
[Galaxy S III General] james873:
I thought it was going to be 1gb ram ddr3
[Galaxy S III General] CMiles1979:
What should you choose, the Galaxy Note or SGS 3?
[Galaxy S III General] takeheart:
Unless you absolutely must have the size of the note, the GSIII figures to be superior in every way.
[Galaxy S III General] xlGmanlx:
You realize that is only 262 KB/sec? That isn't exactly earth shattering. Some folks are getting 1-2 MBps on other networks 3G, not including LTE.
[Galaxy S III General] beserker15:
You also realize that it's a physical limitation of EVDO right? Even Verizon won't be able to do better even if they dedicated more of their resources towards it. If network vision can offer equivalent coverage on LTE as their EVDO network, then their main problems with 4G has been settled. Wimax is perfectly fast for me at home, only issue with it is Wimax is terrible for coverage while on the road.

Since the general users will use their phones for light browsing, youtube, and pandora, this upgraded EVDO speed is definitely fast enough to hold users over until LTE gets fully deployed (especially if the new Galaxy S3 has a newer EVDO revision which allows bonding)...which is my only worry about not having Wimax since my area has decent Wimax coverage.
[Galaxy S III General] vikramjatt11:
Am I mistaken or what. Isn't 2100 kbps = 2.1mbps? Lol.
[Galaxy S III General] Dchibro:
Huh? 1-2 MB(bytes)/s would require a 8 to 16 mb(bits)/s connection. I didn't think that was possible on EVDO, even on rev.B?
[Galaxy S III General] xlGmanlx:
Actually you are mistaken, 2100 kilabits and 2.1 megabits is not the same as kilobyte and megabyte thus the B vice b.

highly possible, but i was refering to AT&T which is on HPSA (?) and is different then EVDO? I don't know exactly, just that AT&T non LTE "3G" smokes my sprint wimax where i am from.
[Galaxy S III General] tommydaniel:
He's right, 2100 kbps is 2.1Mbps.

in Mbps

in kbps
[Galaxy S III General] Dchibro:
Everyone is right. The difference is, Gman is talking about "bytes" per second, not "bits" per second.
[Galaxy S III General] digweed4me:
Yep cortex a15 supports ddr 3 I wish they release a15 dual core here is us.
[Galaxy S III General] xlGmanlx:
we all know the difference between bits and bytes? bits is kbps, mbps. Bytes is KBps, MBps, so his math is correct but not what i said, apparently matty is confused
[Galaxy S III General] KBizzle:
Anyone post this yet today??

http://www.technobuffalo.com/compan...a-minor-update-with-eye-tracking-report-says/

If so, my bad.
[Galaxy S III General] xlGmanlx:
I hope that isn't the case. I really hope that Samsung doesn't pull a HTC. Right now they are pretty much kicking butt, lets hope they don't outsmart themselves.
[Galaxy S III General] digweed4me:
I think there won't be any gs3 till next year just another samsung variants.
[Galaxy S III General] mattykinsx:
I think people really need to stop passing judgment on things until we actually see the actually results.

Whether it be phone rumors or Network Vision.

95% of the people here don't even know much of anything about what Network Vision truly is.
[Galaxy S III General] Dchibro:
These "sources" and "insiders" are often times full of crap. Remember the "industry analyst" in the LA area that said Verizon would be the first carrier to get the GSII? Yeah how did that work out?

To me, anything "reported" before May 3rd is just websites trying to drive hits and ad clicks.
[Galaxy S III General] xlGmanlx:
Or the difference between bits and bytes:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] mattykinsx:
Okay.... all bandwidth speeds are given in bits.

That includes Verizon's 12 - 15 mbit/s speeds ON LTE.

I don't see your point.

At 2mbit/s ON Sprint's 3G you can do EVERYTHING with phone phone except run a damned server and downloading large files quickly (which you shouldn't be doing anyway)

So what is your point?

To complain and hold Sprint to a different standard than others?

Also, keep in mind we are talking about the FIRST (and UNCOMPLETED) roll outs of Network Vision WITHOUT LTE or the 800mhz band.

So I again ask, what is your point?

will the sprint version be called Samsung Galaxy S III Epic 4G Touch HD Super Amoled Plus LTE? :p
[Galaxy S III General] dcowboys2184:
I'm thinking more like Samsung Epic Touch Lte
[Galaxy S III General] lilotimz:
more like... The New Samsung Galaxy S3 Epic 4G LTE Touch featuring an eye dropping 4.6" 1080p Super Amoled HD plus display from Sprints truly unlimited 4G LTE network.

Did anyone see the posting about an apparent vietnam appearence?

Or is this that OTHER one lol.

http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/20/galaxy-s-iii-leak/
[Galaxy S III General] ky0nkyon:
So basically this phone is a quad core version of our phones using the same gpu and a better display? Perhaps its smarter to wait for a better chip if we upgraded less than a year ago. A15 should come out late this year or early next year yes?
[Galaxy S III General] Jonnyshatter:
+1 lol
[Galaxy S III General] Dchibro:
Don't rule out the Exynos 5250 going into the US variants of the GS3.

What about the radio situation? My Evo3d had way better signal. Samsung needs to upgrade their wireless radios!

[Galaxy S III General] takeheart:
It's all still hearsay, not really sure why everyone believes everything they read.
[Galaxy S III General] KingKong86:
These are all rumors I'm sure they will be a lot better then what every one is thinking I work for sprint and I know its will be here this summer
[Galaxy S III General] tommydaniel:
My theory is that the L710 that passed Wifi cert a while back is actually Sprint's GSIII
[Galaxy S III General] killakarl:
Someone actually said that was the note.
[Galaxy S III General] tommydaniel:
I guessed it was either or. But I think it's weird that it passed Wifi cert in Feb and we haven't heard anything, especially if it was the Note.
[Galaxy S III General] iIuvweed:
I've read in multiple places they're quad core would be lte compatible.
[Galaxy S III General] beserker15:
I kinda would if the international version doesn't have it...All popular variants of the original Galaxy S had the same hummingbird chip and the only reason some of the Galaxy S2 has the snapdragon chip is because of LTE or T-mobile's 42mbs HSPDA+ radio. If the new Exynos supports LTE on the chip, there should be no reason why Samsung would want to fragment its Galaxy line any further than the modifications carriers are going to do to it anyways.
[Galaxy S III General] cds0699:
I have had:

Samsung Galaxy S

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

Samsung Galaxy S2

I'm pretty sure I will get the Galaxy S3
[Galaxy S III General] tommydaniel:
Me too! Except I had an EVO in-between the Moment and GS Epic 4G.
[Galaxy S III General] Dchibro:
Samsung doesn't make the radio, Qualcomm does, who also makes the radio in the 3D (albeit a different chip). So, I believe Samsung signal issues have been a result of 3 possible things:

1) Poor antennae design

2) Poor firmware drivers for CDMA modems

3) The separate modem chip having issues with Samsung's own SoCs

I really think #2 is the most likely, as I'm of the opinion that Android firmware code is one of Samsung's biggest weaknesses on CDMA devices. Regarding #3, reports say Samsung is gradually reducing dependency on Qualcomm, and plans to start putting CDMA and LTE radios in their own SoCs. Sounds great, but they still need to write proper drivers for it.

We shall see.

What you say definitely passes the common sense test. But check this comment out ...

Source: http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii/167762-rumor-specs-blowout-release-info.html

Now, this came from an unknown source, and we all know how that goes, so believe me when I say that I'm taking it with a grain of salt, but it's also allowed me to keep an open mind. Moreso after this report ...

http://www.bgr.com/2012/04/17/meizu-announces-the-first-exynos-powered-quad-core-smartphone/

This lines up with the source's statement "Several companies will be using the 4412 in their phones." If there are truly supply concerns, I could see Samsung pushing the 5250 into production for a later release of the US variants, as well as to compete directly with Qualcomm's Krait S4 in the states, which is essentially based off the Cortex-A15 (Qualcomm licenses the technology from ARM) with an older overclocked GPU.

Again, my gut tells me you're probably right, but I'm keeping an open mind on it for now.
[Galaxy S III General] d12unk13astard:
I'm thinking well be seeing 2 versions of the s3 the quadcore a9 & dualcore a15 later this year. Quadcore and 720p display are nice but I think I could wait it out for the superior a15 soc since this s2 is flawless already and smokes everything out right now, one s aside ofc for benchmarks. Anyone else think those HTC one phone series are fugly lol
[Galaxy S III General] KingKong86:
Agree
[Galaxy S III General] uarefunnytome:
Can't Wait For SGSIII

I think I will buy SGSIII so that I may actually get ICS I will probably get it before by just buying this phone....

[Galaxy S III General] takeheart:
That's likely a pretty significant piece of news there: the purported Galaxy SIII that leaked in the Vietnamese video is the i9300, and people who sounded like they knew what they were talking about discounted this as the new midrange phone. This information backs that up.
[Galaxy S III General] Stay Frosty:

[Galaxy S III General] takeheart:
It's the HTC Evo 4G LTE for us...
[Galaxy S III General] Zurginator:
I find it funny people think the One X is so nice.... it's a white (or black) plastic slab, that really doesn't look much different than HTC's other phones.

The One S, yes, that metal is pretty cool (although terrible for drops and reception).... but not the One X.
[Galaxy S III General] bbedward:
Evo lte is the same phone with more benefits like a kickstand.
[Galaxy S III General] phatmanxxl:
You can say the same thing about Samsungs phones.
[Galaxy S III General] carlangas20:
I like the Evo LTE more than the One X, I guess I don't like round/curvy phones.
[Galaxy S III General] Zurginator:
You can indeed. Point is HTC fans were always the first to complain about Samsung using plastic - yet when HTC uses it, they go head-over-heels about how it's 'great design'.

I do think plastic is the best material for phone manufacturing at this point, but there is a way to design nice things with it (Lumia, Kindle), and there is a wrong way to design things with it (iPhone 3G, Galaxy S, Last gen's HTC phones). The S2/One X are *better* than last gen, but they still aren't great.
[Galaxy S III General] Stay Frosty:
It's the quality of the plastic that matters. The One X uses a polycarbonate with a slight rubbery feel from what I hear. Supposed to feel very solid.

And let's face it, every phone is a [insert color here] slab. What sets the One X apart is the two tone panda look, the curved design that contours to the hand, the solid fit and finish, the precision machined speaker holes (one of which functions as a notification light), the aluminum camera surround... Just subtle touches all around that make it look very classy.
[Galaxy S III General] Zurginator:
2 tone panda is what *most* colored phones do. In fact, I only think of the white S2 and white iPhone 4/s when we're talking non-panda.

It's a nice curve, sure..... but it's more or less the same design as most Android devices (I'm not necesarilly dissing it, I just wonder why everyone is going "Sexiest phone evar").

Everything on a phone is "precision machined".... phones have some of the tightest tolerances around.

Alluminum camera surround? Reminds me of our phone. ;)

Like I said, I think the One S is better from a design standpoint.

Then again, I'm only studying to be an industrial designer (not there yet), so I could be completely off base. :P

[Galaxy S III General] Zurginator:
If Samsung is going this far with their stuff, I doubt it will be an incremental update.

....unless they're trying to pull an Apple, with "Magical" marketing.
[Galaxy S III General] takeheart:
I can't imagine they're doing that, since they don't have a large population of the world brainwashed into thinking their products are farted out by unicorns. I expect a new mid-range offering as well as a new flagship.

Kind of how Samsung did the "the Next big thing" before the new ipad

Anyway cant wait for the unveiled. GSII was the best android phone last year by far and this year shouldnt be different
[Galaxy S III General] ky0nkyon:
So is it looking more and more like quad core a9 with mali400? That's going to suck if it is..
[Galaxy S III General] MultiLockOn:
Where did you hear that? I can say with good certainty that it will not be using a mali 400 gpu, that's way old news. This is a flagship phone, it'll probably be using the newest mali or some other powerhouse processor. I can't say anything on the CPU side, but if Samsung is smart (which they are) they'll go with a dual core a15
[Galaxy S III General] ky0nkyon:
Almost every blog I've read says it's a consensus amongst "experts"that it'll be an overclocked Mali-400
[Galaxy S III General] d12unk13astard:
By the time its released to us in q3-early q4 im sure it will be sporting the dual A15's. The world phone will likely see the quadcore exynos.
[Galaxy S III General] MultiLockOn:
Blogs and experts dont know crap. Id be edtremely surprised if they used that outdated GPU again. As far as I can tell everything so far is just one horrible prediction after another, stay away from techsites ahout this right now. Theyre all just making themselves look bad.
[Galaxy S III General] Becoming:
Well, let's assume that might be true, have a peek.

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-GT-I9300-Galaxy-S-III-graphics-benchmark-appears-poised-to-rule-them-all_id29364#5-

Now, call me crazy, but I am not seeing any "suck" in there.
[Galaxy S III General] ky0nkyon:
Sure no suck compared to phones already released. If we get those specs late this year, it's going to not be so great. new tech is important to get that little extra future proofing because mali400 is ancient in tech years. Overclocking it doesn't change that fact.
[Galaxy S III General] Becoming:
I find it awkward for someone like you to seriously mention future proofing as an argument when you obviously are obsessed with cutting edge technology.

Doesn't really compute.

If they manage to get 50% performance increase and substantial battery improvement with better screen, etc... I don't realistically see how that would be some crazy disappointment to anyone.

Plus, there's still a real chance they could include something better for the US release. But honestly, how much is enough?
[Galaxy S III General] ky0nkyon:
Well i don't know about you but i would rather have my hard earned money spent on something that would be leading edge technology for a year or so rather than something that's been out for the past year that is about to be discontinued
[Galaxy S III General] Becoming:
That was sort of my point. Your perception that it's cutting edge is at least as relevant, if not more so, than the actual performance when discussing theoretical hardware.

Being this is xda, I understand what you are saying, but realistically under actual use there is nothing in those benchmarks to indicate some sort of outdated cripple of a phone.

It's all conjecture at this point anyway, but how fast do you need to run netflix and angry birds to feel satisfied with a phone?
[Galaxy S III General] yourbrotherrex:
One thing I've decided:

If the S3 is actually that phone which the picture that was leaked today showed (the one with the yellow protective tape at the top, and the Touchwiz-influenced menu button), then there's no way I'm buying it. I'm just not wasting an upgrade on "Samsung-lazy-black-plastic-rectangle", I don't care how much faster it is. I'll be so completely disappointed with Samsung if they just re-cookie-cut this "groundbreaking" S3 (which, I gotta say, every leaked photo is pointing to.)

Fingers crossed that I'm wrong.
[Galaxy S III General] Pheno.menon:
You do know they've been encasing the leaks in fake enclosures, right? The actual physical design will be different

Transmission sent from a Galaxy S II, CODENAME style.
[Galaxy S III General] yourbrotherrex:
They've said that, sure.

But how far out of the box have they ever gone before?

Even the Note looks exactly like ours, but bigger. (Yeah, I know it's a "Galaxy" class.

All I'm saying is that if Galaxy class still means black rectangle, I'll stick with THIS black rectangle.
[Galaxy S III General] ky0nkyon:
I understand your point that after a certain point, there is no relevance to more performance. Sure in the broad scheme of things, the general population will be happy with it. I don't believe xda members are representative of the general population though. i am in no way saying that it's a cripple, just would rather see an upgraded internal to justify a purchase, especially since it hasn't been long since i got my e4gt. I'm sure the s3 will be great in it's own right and very fast. You're right though, you can't play Netflix any faster than it already plays. I'm sure ics will make things smoother as well.

Came here to post the exact same thing. Ill still get it, but... Its kinda a let down. Not the powerhouse I was hoping for
[Galaxy S III General] general_z:
With that logic we should never buy a phone again since netflix still will be slow and everything is always great.
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
quad core @ 32 nm (aka 4412 quad) should do better than dual core a15. So far we have seen only few benchmarks of s15 which is compared with current lineups of quad cores @ 45 nm. A new design of quad core chip will always be better. Just read a few hours back about the leaked antutu score chart and the i9300 tops it beating transformer prime.

and also havent read anything special in battery life form htc one s which uses those krait cores
