[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] _Man0waR_:
Thank you very much guys, I know about all the limitations of the iPad, this one of the reason why I wanted to stay with Android if possible. I currently got a rooted Desire HD and even if it is getting a bit old, I would never change it for an iPhone. I am using EZPDF too on my DHD and it is great but obviously the screen is very small compared to a tablet. I had a Galaxy Tab 7 for a while, but I was quite disappointed as it was more like a big phone than a tablet so I sold it. (Things are probably better now with some of non official ICS roms). It sounds like I will be able to stay on Android :) I need to think a bit if I go for the TF201 or the TF300. From what I read, even if the TF300 is not as good as the TF201, it is still a good tablet and should be enough for my needs. It seems also a good option to replace my EEEPC 1000H :)

As a developer, it will be great too to develop Android apps/games especially designed for tablets.

I'm using my Prime at University as a complete book/notebook replacement, I scanned friends books to searchable PDFs, and using no physical books whatsoever :D

I also got the Amazon Basics stylus for note taking... and I can say it works really awesome.

For PDFs I'm using EzPDF, rendering is fast and no zooming at all required to read comfortably.

I too use ezpdf...can't go wrong with that!

Anyone else notice that the lockup/need to battery pull "issue" was addressed? It says if it locks up and touch screen is unresponsive, hold power button for 10 seconds to reset. Good ta know..

I didn't like, however, whether it clarified the 2step function of the camera button, nor whether it could wake the device up straight to camera or even if you could launch it from the lock screen via shutter button..hrmmm, guess I'll hafta find out next Friday

Sprint's Galaxy S3 Pops Up In User Agent Profile - Packs Dual-Core Processor and 16GB of Storage http://phandroid.com/?p=94271

Ehh...I want a quadcore before i blow my upgrade. Going from Dual core to Dual Core seems like a waste.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
I could have sworn that I heard it was going to be A15.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ReActiveDisorder:
Your comparing apples to oranges...Going from our Exynos Dual core to a snapdragon Dual core just doesnt warrant a upgrade.

Single 1ghz > Dual 1.2ghz= Upgrade

Dual 1.2ghz > Quad 1.4ghz= Upgrade

Dual 1.2ghz > Dual 1.5ghz= No way

Why blow the cash??? The SGS3 is basically just the SGS2 with a somewhat faster dual core processor. Somewhat better screen (Still a Pentile) and a bigger battery (300mah bigger). And a few new software pieces.

This is equivent to going from iPhone 4 to the iPhone 4S. Total waste.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beserker15:
No need for another dual core versus quad core thread. Everyone knows the S4 kicks ass...it's just initial benchmarks for the quad core exynos seems to kick more ass, especially where gpu is concerned. I personally don't care if the phone has a dual core or quad core...but if it has a slower chip than its international siblings, then that's lame...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BrandoKC:
This has been hotly debated lately. Please read the linked article.

S4 vs Quadcore Why S4 is better
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
The only place where the quad core wins at is the gpu. The processors are about equal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] batting1000:
You're just looking at clock speeds. You're not really looking at the processors themselves.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:
I will take a15 anyday but is it exynos a15 with Mali 604 gpu.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R0CKSTAR3N3RGY:
Exactly. The Qualcomm S4 MSM8960 supports newer and better technologies than the Exynos processors. Overall, all tasks and functions will be the latest version and faster than Exynos.

Here's a list:

BT 4.0

802.11a/b/g/n (2.4/5GHz)

GSM (GPRS, EDGE)

W-CDMA/UMTS (HSDPA, HSUPA, HSPA+, DC-HSPA+ cat.28)

MBMS

LTE cat.3

CDMA2000 (1xRTT, 1xEV-DO Rel.0/Rev.A/Rev.B, 1xEV-DO MC Rev.A)

TD-SCDMA

There's a reason people who render large files chose Intel processors over AMD. It's not just about cores and clocks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krisI0N:
Isnt the quad core supposed to save like 30 more battery?or something along those lines?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ker0zene:
I welcome this change, maybe the radios will be better and AGPS will actually perform worth a damn.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fatboypup:
seems like another reason to jump back to HTC
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] swamp goblin:
With all this debate over why the sgs3 should be quad-core, I have one question..

What benefits would every day users see from the extra cores? How many people run lets say 12+ apps, switching between and using all of them?

I am personally happy with the sgs3 containing the s4. Quad core doesnt make the cpu the greatest. My Amd phenom x2 3.0 ghz beats out a number of quad cores.. I know its not a mobile cpu, but the same would apply to mobile phones. Quality over quantity.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] master acehole:
It was also suppose to have a 4.6 super amoled plus hd screen at 1280 x 1080 2.0 ghz quadcore lte equipped with a unicorn ='( I read the fake specs so many times lol well maybe other variants than sprint get snapdragon and we get A15? I can pray!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IAmSixNine:
With the A15 architecture and a better display lets hope it runs smoother then the 3D did. Well of course it will. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bubur_bewok:
For me it doesnt matter if we will have dc instead qc..but pentile must be replaced by superamoled hd plus..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riggs170:
Well I think dual core is plenty fast enough and I can just imagine how shi##y the battery life would be on ICS anyway with a quad core
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abhaxus:
The exynos quad is faster than the krait, but krait is still faster than the exynos 4 dual by a large margin. As in twice as fast.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ilostmypistons:
What we really want is Exynos5 A15 dual
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
agreed 10char
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MultiLockOn:
Everything I've read points to this being untrue; The S4 should smoke the Exynos Quad in everything but graphics. Benchmarks don't mean anything, wait for a real world side by side video of loading times.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beserker15:
I think people are also missing the fact that ICS and above is very gpu dependent. Now that we have gpu acceleration pretty much everywhere, the smoothness people want typically comes from the gpu since I don't think people are running Excel calculations or video editing on their phones. Think about the iPhone, cpu wise...it's not that great, but gpu, it's second to none. Or hell, the new iPad, they didn't upgrade the cpu at all, but beefed up the gpu to be unbeatable.

The current Krait S4 has an awesome cpu, but its gpu is only slightly faster than our exynos. The quad exynos should be on par or slightly faster than S4, and is supposed to have the mali gpu clocked fast enough to match and event beat the one in the iPhone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bman55:
If this is true apple here I come! :-P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] itbmd:
August Launch?

Not trying to stir up any drama here. But IF it's true that it indeed uses the MSM8960 chipset, then it looks like we MIGHT have to wait until August. Basing this 100% guess on the article below:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
Surprisingly, I never realised the original epic 4g was pentile until someone pointed it out. I do remember it being kinda fuzzy looking but it had a good camera on it at that time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shoulon:
Last i checked Samsung can give no f@cks about the measily like say thousand or two who won't buy the sgsIII just because the cpu isn't what u wanna cry it should be. Quantity over quality for them. (even tho they give some great quality devices)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdszoke:
If the processor is the reason than you might feel disappointed that the american HTC One X has the same damn chipset.

Which by most all accounts is considered pretty damn bad ass.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pheno.menon:
So now the question is.. GSIII or Evo 4G LTE?

It seems like if they have the same processor, the Evo actually packs a better set of features (minus the removable battery).

gs3: Wolfson dac, removable and larger battery, S Voice

evo: build quality, camera with dedicated button, supposedly better screen, quick updates from HTC, kickstand, Beats, design, huge development community, Sense 4.0

Sent from my slim n trim Galaxy S II.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdszoke:
Both good and capable phones. For myself the GSIII will be the choice so I can compete with my girl's SIRI. Even though she never uses SIRI except to try to compete against me when I use Google's voice command features. I use that often to set my alarm, navigate, and text while i'm driving. "F" SIRI!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beserker15:
Problem is, for 2 generations, the Galaxy set itself apart by having a prettier screen, skinnier/prettier design, faster processor, and better camera than the competition.

The only thing the international S3 had going for it was the faster processor/gpu combo. If just about everything is similar in the US version, developers might start heading back to HTC.

Depends on which S4 if it the regular one samsung quad graphics will run cricle over the adreno 225. Now if its the S4 pro with the new adreno 320 than you will have some great GPU Power
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
I personally am not going to sell myself for or against it until I am able to physically hold it and see how it performs and looks. If it ends up being a ****ty phone then I guess it is the end of my Samsung phase. But I have a weird feeling that even with the changes it is still going to be one bad ass phone. Just have to wait and see. That's just my take one it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
If you all want a quad core so bad you can wait until the fourth quarter. That is when they will launch the new LG 1.5 GHz quad core LTE phone. Supposedly it will have the new Texas Instruments Omap 5 chip. And it is non pentile HD.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
S4 isn't a15.

Edited for my Homie: but still competes performance wise with a15 socs.

New Omap 5 is dual core. Unless there's more I don't know. O.o
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beserker15:
Well HTC pretty much always offers an official bootloader unlock method for their phones now right? It'll be S-On still which means kernels needs to be flashed through FASTBOOT and you can't change radio firmwares as easy, but cwm recovery and flashing roms isn't a problem.

The thing to potentially worry about if the US Galaxy has the Qualcomm Krait chip...is that development generally sucks for Samsung phones that doesn't have similar hardware to the international version. Ours and the original AT&T S2 both share the Exynos that's in the international version, so both have had pretty stable ICS and AOSP roms for months. Cannot say the same for the T-mobile version and the Skyrocket which has the Qualcomm chip.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheAtheistOtaku:
I'm probably going to see how the development is for the international version and if I like what I see I will spring for it. if it do spring for it it will be my phone for years.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Lol at everyone.. amgad it has less of something.

2 idling cores uses more battery than not powering them at all. Don't get it, as a developer there is only so much you can realistically thread.. period.

Maybe we can get seti on the international quad cores so they'll actually be used *rolls eyes*.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lilotimz:
Ya... I mean... it's not like HTC permanently locked ATT's One X boot-loader cause ATT told them to right????!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
I just picked up the AT&T One X and I can definitely say the the S4 is quite the upgrade from the Exynos that was in my E4GT. This phone is amazing, it is noticeably faster than the E4GT, which as you all know is already blazing fast. Having the S4 in the GSIII is not going to be a bad thing at all so relax. That pentile screen however...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coldblooded79:
Well I thought the whole US S3 being dual core was old news..especially when the Verizon version leaked with a dual core s4. I know LG's phones in the past have sucked major ass, but... this might not..http://www.ubergizmo.com/2012/05/lg...4-7-display-rumored-to-be-arriving-on-sprint/

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] I_FLY_Z3R0:
I just honestly want the best battery life and which ever processor can deliver that that's what I want. I can get 15 hours easy on the E4GT now with 3-4 hours screen time. Sure a quad core would be nice though
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
You should try out Razr Maxx. It seems to have the best battery life.

But it isn't next gen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] I_FLY_Z3R0:
Believe me I would. But I mean its not a huge issue. I never charge it during the day. I just can't live with 2-4GB of data. I need like 5+ every month.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hayabusa1300cc:
How can you mention build quality and you've yet to even hold it. I've owned Samsung and HTC and Samsung has better build quality than HTC. Just speaking the evo line plagued with several build quality issues such as light leak, dead pixel, dust under screen, crooked screen, blown speakers, just to name a small fraction. Whereas I never had a could quality issue not heard of any in the Galaxy line.

Quick updates from HTC? We get quick updates from Samsung. Evo or Galaxy 2 which you think will get ICS first?

Huge development? I think our development over Galaxy line wins that. Samsung is geared more toward developers. Have fun taking over a year to unlock your bootloader on the evos s/off Oh and Odin is a nice thing ;)

And beats? Gimmick at best.

Lastly, bring it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] I_FLY_Z3R0:
LOL quick updates from HTC. That's the best one I've heard all day. :eek:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] I_FLY_Z3R0:
I had both of them. Thanks for the input though.

Sent from my iPhone killer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pheno.menon:
Samsung has only recently sped up the rate of their updates. Beats might be a gimmick but it does make some difference for aux and headphones output on the beats-enabled roms I've tried in the past.

Odin is nice but having owned an HTC Inspire in the past (which was crap.. but I'm willing to give HTC a chance again just like I gave Samsung a chance after my original Galaxy/Captivate which was a pretty bad phone too) I have no issue with their rooting/s-off/unlocking methods - it's only rough at launch.

I mentioned the development because it seems like the OG Evo had one of the biggest dev communities, it's true that ours is quite large now but you have to remember a lot of those people came from somewhere, and a good amount of them were from that phone, the 4G, and the 3D.

I will agree on the build quality, however I was more referring to the way it feels in your hand, using the One X as a reference point.

I like Samsung as much as the next person on these forums and I'm pretty happy with my e4gt, but it seems to me that at least on paper, the evo will ship with more nice features than the sIII. And yes, I know the sIII is still in the works for sprint but I have a feeling not too much will be changed on it from the international version.

Few questions for you:

*How's the battery life?

*Any negatives to be said about the One X from your experience with it so far?

*What are your thoughts on Sense 4.0?

*Do you feel like this is a phone you could use for 1-2 years without any problems or getting bored of it?

*Development pace? Any major issues cropping up in its xda forum?

Thanks.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
This has probably already been said, but benchmarks between the S4 and Exynos Quad Core have been really comparable. Some have even described the S4 One X to be smoother than the Quad Core. Plus, I've heard that Dual Cores actually have better battery life and are not as intensive. Unless you plan on listening to music while watching videos while texting while playing games, there really isn't much of a difference.

Regardless, I agree that I would be more satisfied jumping from Dual Core to Quad, but really it isn't that much diff.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
Man does it feel good to have an Android phone again. This One X is seriously the nicest phone I have ever held in my hands. Everything about it just screams quality, from the unibody design to the GORGEOUS screen (sorry guys, this thing smokes the SAMOLED+ that's in the E4GT), to the ridiculously fast processor. Everything is butter smooth, just as smooth as the iPhone (FINALLY!). HTC even did a great job with Sense this time around and while I dislike the menus and a lot of the icons, I really don't mind it overall. The only thing I know I'm going to have a problem with is the severely limited storage. Seriously, 16 gigs? What the hell were they thinking?? Aside from that though, I have no other complaints. It's absolutely amazing. I have only had it for a day so my opinion might change but I don't foresee it changing for the negative.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
Battery- So far so good, but I have only had it a day so we'll see.

Negatives- Just the 16gb and no SD slot. Aside from that I have had no issues and see no negatives.

Sense- Better than every other iteration, not nearly as offensive. Smooth as silk. Aside from the menus and a few icons, I think I actually like it. *Gasp!*

1-2 yrs- I don't know. I switch phones every 6mos-1yr no matter how slick they are. I like to have the latest and greatest. I guess it all depends on what comes out later this year.

Dev- They just got it rooted this morning so nothing yet. I'd imagine it will pick up quite a bit considering how badass this phone is. There is the issue of the locked bootloader but I believe a dev has already found a way around it. He's just doing the usual testing and whatnot before he releases it.

I agree with most what you say

I have up the og evo I has since launch day for the epic. Loved the epic. Then hated it and didn't want Samsung again. Gs2 changed that. The one x evo seems promising as potential another HTC customer. But the more I see of the gs3 I love it (initially didn't like it) the features of the gs3 I am thinking are nicer.
