[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] yoniinfante:
I knew it, im pretty sure this is real, the next S4 will be the most powerful device...Samsung Exynos 5450 @ 2.0 GHz Quad Core. :P

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ibcenu:
Unless they pack that 5" screen into the same size case, I'll pass.. Love the S3, but don't want a bigger case
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] yoniinfante:
4.8" vs 5.0" can u notice the difference? i dont think the phone dimension is gonna change just the 0.2" on the screen...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cor4twenty:
well Apple called .5 an amazing revolution, I'm sure samsung can get away with calling .2 a big leap haha
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] donovanx3:
This could be true but based upon all the "leaked" specs that came out right up until the release of the S3, this may all be speculation.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] drewmonge:
Good lord! That would be awesome. Specs would be second to none.

And also the better build quality thing. Although the SIII gave Apple a run for its money, a better aesthetics quality build could finally put Apple to sleep (not saying that's Samsung's objective, other creating quality devices.) But I still know a few Apple fanboy stragglers who still won't switch because of the plastic quality of the S3. Maybe this will be the straw that breaks the camels back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] akarol:
Better build quality for LG = subpar build quality for even HTC. Sorry, but LG makes ****ty phones. Horrible battery life especially. I'll stick to Sammy, thanks!

Isn't it s4 going to have a dual core cortexa15 exynos like the nexus 10

That's what i thought
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
Only if the s4 supports lte 800/1900/2500/2600 will I buy it. The s3 performance-wise is fast enough. The network...not so fast.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
I don't want nothing with a exynos processor. look at the trouble the devs are having with the international s3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
In all fairness, Samsung's responded and has been pushing source code out for Exynos CPUs. It does make future purchasers skeptical, though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
I doubt it. Google puts strong price constraints in nexus devices lately. And Samsung isn't gonna develop to there own just to keep a flag ship CPU out of a flag ship phone...... our phone strongly resembles a15 architecture basically it is

Bet on the most practical. Highest end compromise definitely quad core
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nitekillerz:
i wouldn't want a bigger screen
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nabbed:
Was s3 snappier than s2? No, even though it's almost twice faster in quadrant.

Samsung is gonna mess it up again, no doubt.

Only hope is for aosp roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cnstarz:
are you stupid? the s3 is hella snappier than the s2 in every regard. have you even played with an s2?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] budde2:
Wait its not going to be quad core? I highly doubt that is true it would be a big fail on Samsung if they only had a dual IMO quad is becoming set standard with 2 gigs ram
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] XxSilent.NightmarexX:
the thing is with the build quality of samsung and apple from what i noticed is that the plasticy feel oh the phone actually makes it more durable against hard falls compared to apples iphone with its strong firm build of the device makes it more vulnerable when it comes to hard falls because the phone is actually pressurized to the point where one little fall can cause major damage to the iphone. so from that ill take a plastic feel of a phone against iphone build quality
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayabusa1300cc:
Not only was it faster, it's way faster. Even faster than aosp, so your argument holds no grounds.

Sent front my Samsung Galaxy SIII Epic 4GLTE Touch
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trojanv:
Great rebuttal not only faster but WAY faster. :D

I'm still holding onto my beloved S2, s3 wasnt much of an improvement for me. Plus gorilla glass2 sucks in my eyes.

Each to his/her opinion. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gtuansdiamm:
I remember thinking that my epic was way faster than my instinct

And

My epic touch was way faster than my epic

Probably because development is cut in half when the next big thing arrives
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
The gs2 is fluid but so is the S3 thing is the S3 is much more powerful graphically. It's way faster at things that actually use CPU like browsing, compressing. The s2 couldn't do better then 1MBs through ssh the S3 easily hit 1.5MBs or it has almost no lag browsing inside tars or zips
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cnstarz:
A big fail if it's dual core? Our S3 is a dual core... does that make it a big fail? Is the .5 ms response time sooooooo slow for you that you need a quad-core to do things that our dual cores already handle with extra headroom available for other things?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
Quad core sounds nicer but I'd take an optimized dual core over a new generation quad core anytime. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] budde2:
We already have a optimized dual core and yes I would like to be able to have the quad not that I need bit it would be nice to future proof such a supposedd innovated phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] yoniinfante:
guys the new Exynos 5450 is a new A15 architecture Quad Core @2.0GHz by default...the new 5250 used on the Chromebook is insane fast(see bechmarks) well the 5450 is doble IMAGINE :silly:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nabbed:
I have both at the same time. Do you?

I compared them head to head.

http://imageshack.us/a/img21/9882/20120624022528.jpg (touch pro2, evo 3d, epic touch, evo lte, taken with sgs3).

And s2 is hella snappier than s3. Nearly all native apps open in half the time of gs3.

Samsung overbloated the ics/jb roms beyond belief. On epic touch, there might be 15 processes running in the background taking something like 200 megs of ram. On this phone, there's always more than double that, and they take over a gig after boot, even with everything downloaded disabled with autostarts.

---------- Post added at 10:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------

I think he meant to say s3 was faster than s2. (Is that what you meant, sarcasm?) Which it clearly isn't when doing UI operations, like opening apps, swiping, scrolling, etc.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gtuansdiamm:
Here is my ultimatum

If the s4 has a 1080p display I'll get it

Cause i can't just be updating my phone every year
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cnstarz:
yes I have both right here too. AOKP jellybean on s2 is laggier than stock jellybean on s3. there's no comparison. you are the exception.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nabbed:
I never said anything about aokp jb on s2. I said that while s3 had twice faster hardware, both ics and jb roms on s3 made s3 slower than s2 gb stock rom. And that's the truth. If you have some laggy half-assed rom slowing down your s2, that's your own fault.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GodHead:
The best news I saw from that article was "Full HD", which mean 1080p if I am correct.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
Can you prove any of that. I had both at the same time to
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jeffgus:
I'd rather that Samsung stick with Qualcomm processors for their CDMA phones. It is not the performance that I'm worried about, it is the radios. The Qualcomm processor in the S3 has all the spiffy stuff. It has an integrated radio. The LTE radio is integrated. It does data/voice simultaneously on CDMA. It supports 1xAdvanced. In theory, it should be able to do HDVoice on 1xAdvanced. Unlike the iPhone 5, Samsung made sure there are enough antennas in the package to make all this work at the same time.

There is nothing stopping Samsung from putting in all that good stuff in their own chip. I certainly hope they do! I just think Qualcomm is more likely to make sure their latest chips support the best of CDMA/LTE. Good CDMA support is important since I'm on Sprint's CDMA network with no VoLTE in sight.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SPBoss:
Actually a s2 on a custom rom is faster than a stock s3

Galaxy SII i9100 running Resurrection Remix Rom with Siyah Kernel!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sputnik767:
I went from the S2 (Epic 4G Touch) to the S3, and the S3 on a TW ROM is much faster than the S2 on a TW ROM. The S3 is also much smoother as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cnstarz:
the fact that AOKP on the s2 is faster and smoother than stock ICS and JB on the s2 further proves my point that the s2 is slower than the s3 in every way. you're the only person in this thread claiming that the s2 is faster than the s3; you're clearly the exception.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nabbed:
Your reading comprehension is... severely deficient. You just blurt things out w/o thinking, or checking, or reading. Guy 2 posts above says s2 is faster. So how is it that I'm the exception?

You are an exceptional zealot.

BTW, I just booted S2 (I think it's running strongsteve's blue odex from like a year ago, it's GB). And compared it to my s3 running jellybomb.

Nearly everything was faster on s2. Opening apps, switching windows inside apps, switching apps, basic stuff like opening the dialer etc. Nearly everything was either faster on s2 (more often than not) or about the same speed. I think the only thing that was faster on s3 was opening the calculator app.

I don't know what the hell you are running on your s2, but it's clearly junk.

I don't know who made the call but it seems like a tough call. Since you cannot run the roms from those other note ii I think it is the right decision.

The next Galaxy S4 will sport the new Samsung Exynos 5450 processor: Quad Core@2.0GHz with the latest Mali GPU...so guys expect the next Galaxy Note 3 with something similar like 2.5GHz Quad Core and Mali T6XX GPU...i dont care i will get it next year...

http://www.androidauthority.com/sam...-5-inch-display-exynos-5450-processor-126575/
[Galaxy Note II General] Lucidmike:
If production starts end of this year, it will never make it by march. Most likely it will have the Exynos 5250 (Exynos 5 Dual) dual core 32nm 2.0Ghz. And you gotta understand Samsung's Galaxy S team is like the A-Team, and everything is secondary. So Most likely the 5450 won't be on the Galaxy Note 3 either. It will just have an overclocked 5250.

So if you're saying you're going to wait for the Galaxy Note 3, by then Galaxy Note 4 will be around the corner when the Galaxy Note 3 is available. Don't really understand the logic. There will be something always better in a few months. What's the point of waiting for a device based on speculation?
[Galaxy Note II General] yoniinfante:
I understand, But, i dont think Samsung is gonna downgrade on their Flagship smartphones...we just need to wait and see....
[Galaxy Note II General] Hell Guardian:
i dont get the logic of some people, why do you always have to get the latest and greatest? is there's a hole in your life that this gadget will fulfill? the Note 2 is crazy smooth and fast, why do you really need a 1080P 5" screen that i bet you wont notice the difference and hardware that doesn't has software to take advantage of?
[Galaxy Note II General] EdgaBimbam:
if it wont give better battery life, then i dont care to be honest. Performance note 2 has more than enough. With more software optimization, note 2 would be even faster than now.
[Galaxy Note II General] androidizen:

[Galaxy Note II General] yoniinfante:

There needs to be significant improvement (or something wrong with my current phone) in order for me to "upgrade".

[Nexus 7 General] T-Keith:
Im not sure windows rt is really what you're looking for. I believe multitasking will be like android (unload apps to conserve ram), "tablet" apps are up to the developer, and "desktop" apps won't run at all. What you think you want is windows 8, but you will have to give up more than you think to get those. Rt is the basically a middle ground between windows 8(x86) and phone. (arm)

---------- Post added at 07:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 PM ----------

Remember that windows and android are not just two different operating systems, but to completely different TYPES of operation systems. Android is open source so you can port it to whatever and hack it to run on different devices. You can only do that to windows with Microsoft's permission, and help. Microsoft doesn't even sell windows rt, let alone let you run it on an android device. You have to pay for Windows RT by buying a device with it installed, and even then you have no right to transfer it to another device.

So the limitations are not just technical, but legal due to its closed source nature and the way it is sold. Android is limited only by the (likely closed source) drivers or lack thereof for the device.

This word "Copyright" tell you something? :what:

BTW

I have a feeling windows 8 will be like vista a few years ago. Get it? But that's my opinion. I could be dead wrong.
[Nexus 7 General] n7GU22:
Agreed. Most people don't understand that there are 2 versions. Pro and RT. RT is a scaled down version that won't run your typical desktop applications. Pro is what you want (if you want windows in a tablet).

I ran Windows 8 DP on my old Asus EP121 slate tablet (which was a real i5 64-bit machine) it I liked the overall experience. I ran photoshop and other powerful applications, however, the efficiency was no better than 65-70%... The ergonomics just weren't there for productivity. Diverse yes, but I'd prefer a laptop or desktop any day for real tasks. Every form has its function I suppose.
[Nexus 7 General] muldy:
The two versions are due to Windows beeing a fat old OS, can't run properly on the ARM processors.

You will need a x86 processor to run all the old legacy stuff, windows fan boys can't live without (expect fat x86 tablets with fans).

RT Version fills the void of the fact windows just needs more juice to run on the new ARM hardware, so they made this version expecting anyone will use it... We all know Windows people, if they can't run word/excel on some hardware, it is not worth buying.

RT version is starting with a almost empty ecosystem... (no, you can't run normal windows x86 programs on RT)

---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 PM ----------

i know exactly what RT is. yes, i can't run third party desktop apps, no, i don't care.

it's a TABLET os, with a small set of desktop apps built in.

and android is a tablet os without that set of apps.

i'd much rather run win rt on my nexus - especially after trying ubuntu on it (with full chromium), i feel that android is holding that thing back.

and as for the article, well, it's a bad rep who's been fired. and one thing i found suspicious is that kevin didn't try to install chrome when he just got the tablet - it's mentioned that he loves it so much and all.
[Nexus 7 General] peterk-1:
W8 RT needs 5 hardware buttons and a 1366×768 screen
[Nexus 7 General] SilverHedgehog:
we don't have rotation lock and start buttons. you can still access start through the charms bar, and we could handle no lock rotation.

as for the resolution, it is only a requirement to pass microsoft certification. windows rt still supports other resolution. so with nexus 7's 1280x800 resolution, the only thing not working would be app snap.
