[Galaxy S III General] soraxd:
Inside Galaxy S III GT-I9300

SoC

Exynos 4 smdk4x12

CPU:

4 cores.

Min frequency: 200 Mhz

Scaling driver: exynos_cpufreq,

Active governor: pegasusq

Cpu frequency transition latency: 100000 ns

Exynos bus frequency: 160160

Audio codec:

Wolfson Micro WM1811

http://www.wolfsonmicro.com/products/audio_hubs/WM1811/

100dB SNR Class W Headphone amp output, ReTune DSP, 3x digital interface.

Ultra low power standby, flexible, multi-button accessory detect.

Like WM8994 in Galaxy S / Nexus S, except:

1x stereo DAC instead of 2x.

2x 2W Speaker amp instead of 2x 1W

Smaller and probably cheaper, same sound quality expected.

Audio driver configuration & policy implementation based on TinyUCM (/etc/tinyucm.conf)

Probable subset of TinyHAL implementing codec configuration in config files instead of having everything hardcoded in ROM or kernel driver at compile time.

Native sampling rate: 44100 Hz. It means music played will be sent as-is to the DAC instead of being processed by a software up-sampling routine as it is on Galaxy Nexus or other devices with codecs accepting only 48000 Hz.

Confirmed Voodoo Sound capable ;)

FM Radio:

Si4709 receiver, as in Galaxy S / Galaxy S II / Galaxy Note

Display:

Super AMOLED HD, Pentile matrix, 4.8”

Likely generation as Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Note display.

Resolution: 720x1280

Refresh rate: 60Hz

Default color mode: 32bit.

Real DPI as calculated by driver (need confirmation by measurements)

305dpi, physical width 60mm, physical height 106mm

MHL output controller: Samsung sii9234 (need confirmation about who really manufactures the chip, and if its Sil9234. Driver say Sii9234, might be a typo in driver?)

mDNIe hardware support (mode, scenarios, outdoor)

Camera:

Back: Samsung LSI S5C73M3 8M pixel camera

http://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/10708/ reading shows the sensor should support 120fps capture at 640x480. Might be a potential camera hack!

Network:

Broadcom BCM4334 - latest ultra low power solution for smartphones

Wi-fi 802.11 a/b/g/n

Bluetooth 4

Contains FM receiver (unused, Si4709 instead)

See Anandtech coverage on Broadcam announcement.

Radio:

Baseband: XMM6262 (thanks Brian Klug, good catch!)

ROM details:

Android 4.0.4

London demo device ROM version: I9300XXALE4a (build date Thu May 3 16:05:51 KST 2012)

Built for CPU armeabi-v7a

ro.build.product=m0 << strange
