New Russian 2011 Model with 1.4ghz cpu

http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/31/samsung-galaxy-s-rumored-to-be-getting-a-1-4ghz-2011-edition-n/
You didn't think Samsung was going to leave the classic Galaxy S handset in the past, did you? Dmitriy Ryabinin of hi-tech.mail.ru has tracked down the above comparison sheet showing off a new variant of the 4-inch Android phone, this time packing a 1.4GHz Qualcomm MSM8255T chip and a 14.4Mbps HSPA+ radio. Other than those upgrades and a 1650mAh battery, it's a faithful reproduction of last year's original and should be arriving in Russia around the end of April for a price of just under 24,000 rubles ($846). What gives us faith in this apparent leak is our earlier sighting of a 3.7-inch Galaxy S2 "Mini" device from Samsung, which also clocks in at a mighty 1.4GHz. Coincidence? We doubt it.
[Thanks, Andy]
Update: That was quick. Samsung's Russian mouthpiece has confirmed all of the above, adding note of a metal back cover and a Galaxy S Plus name for markets outside of Russia. Sadly, there's no word as to where else it might be showing up.

How about a "new russian 2011 model" with 90-60-90

So is the reason the chip is rated at 1.4 GHz because it is using a Qualcomm and they are slower than other brands (like original Hummingbird)?

I think the difference in cpu performance will not be noticeable. However, I have heard of how well the Qualcomm cpu's overclock (1ghz -> 1.8ghz).
The biggest disappoint will come from the gpu. The qualcomm 205 gpu is NOT an upgrade.

An important update regarding the Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1v
We’ve decided to add the slimmer Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 to our range, which will now take the place of the Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1v.
The Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 is packed full of cutting edge technology but is one of the world's slimmest Honeycomb tablets, measuring 8.6mm thick and weighing just 599g. We’ve updated our website with more details, which you can see here
We'll be in touch again soon with more information on pricing and availability.
Thank you

I got this too, and it is saying dual core 1.2Ghz Processor now (on the 3G model)

I'm guessing the 1.2GHz is a mistake on Vodafone's part. There was a lot of confusion on some websites whether the Samsung Galaxy S II had 1GHz or 1.2GHz so this could be a similar thing. If the UK version does have 1.2GHz Exynos chip then that would be super awesome as it's video playback support is much better than Tegra 2.

I have a feeling that that will turn out to be incorrect... Samsung have a track record of stamping on our hearts and souls and sitting back to watch the disappointment they have caused.

The 1.2GHz is not the only thing that's different to specs i have seen until today.
The Vodafone site says: Bluetooth 3.0
I just double checked and both gsmarena and phonearena say Bluetooth 2.1

I think someone has seen the SG2 and made a mistake with the 1.2GHz.

New Note??

This is an update I just got on the Galaxy Note Facebook page. Looks pretty frikin awesome.
https://www.facebook.com/SamsungGalaxyS3OfficalFanPage

picture is not an actual phone just something made up off this rumor:
Samsung may have only recently launched its latest Android flagship collaboration with Google, the Galaxy Nexus, but the push is reportedly on for the next big thing for the Galaxy line-up. According to a report straight out of Korea, the Samsung Galaxy S3 could be on its way to Mobile World Congress 2012 — and launch a few months later.
We had already heard that the Galaxy S3 would pack Samsung’s own Exynos 4412 processor, a 32nm quad-core chip based on the ARM Cortex A9 architecture. That’s a terrific boost in hardware over the Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Nexus, at least on paper — the jury’s still out on whether or not a quad-core chip is really worth putting in a phone or tablet when most apps aren’t designed with multithreading in mind.
It’s a necessary progression, however, when competitors like HTC are known to be working on similar devices. HTC’s Zeta is expected to arrive during the same time frame, and with Qualcomm promising that its Snapdragon S4 would be ready to power retail devices early in 2012 there will no doubt be other models on the way.
As for what else Samsung is going to cram into the Galaxy S3, the list of rumored specs certainly looks drool-worthy. In addition to the Exynos 4412, there could be a 12MP camera, 720×1280 Super AMOLED Plus display, LTE support, twice as much RAM as any current superphone at 2GB, and Android 4.0. Of course, until Samsung shows us something (or someone else gets their hands on one) we won’t know how closely that hardware lines up with reality.
Keep your eyes peeled for news out of MWC when its kicks off in Barcelona on February 27.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 release date set for October 2012

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 release date set for October with Exynos 5250 processor
When the Galaxy Note 2 will released and will Samsung be able to surprise the world again?
The Galaxy Note 2 release date is set to October 2012 and it will feature slightly larger display 5.5-inch display and dual-core Exynos 5250 processor.
It’s been over half a year since the Galaxy Note was released and over 7 million units are sold worldwide and Samsung plans to sell around 10 million Galaxy Notes. Due to its incredible success Samsung has started to work on its predecessor the Galaxy Note 2.
Information about upcoming Galaxy Note 2 is limited but we know its name and when it will be released but the rest is mystery. We know that the Galaxy S3 will be inspired from the Galaxy S3 so it will look similar and feature the same technologies and services like S Beam, S Voice, NFC, SmartStay and others.
It is reported that the Galaxy Note will have slightly larger 5.5-inch display with WSXGA+ (1680×1050) and 360 pixel density. Why no Full HD resolution? Human eye can’t perceive separate pixels if the pixel density is over 300 ppi, it means that going above it is pointless. The Galaxy Note 2 will feature Super AMOLED (non-Plus) display from PenTile matrix family because these displays last longer and are more power efficient that true RGB AMOLED Plus displays.
Before the Galaxy S3 was announced, there were rumors that it will have the Exynos 5250 processor which is built on latest ARM Cortex-A15 CPU processor architecture but that didn’t turn out to be true. Samsung has Exynos 5250 processor on its arsenal and it would be logical to use it for the Galaxy Note 2 due to its performance and power efficiency.
The Galaxy Note 2 will have 8-megapixel camera with improved lens and image sensor for better images and videos. RAM will be increased to 1.5 GB and the 4G LTE connection will come by default for international version.
The Galaxy Note 2 design will be similar to its smaller bother, the Galaxy S3 and above you can see an image to get an idea how it will look like. Last two devices, the Galaxy S3 and Focus 2 clearly shows where Samsung is going with its industrial design.
The Galaxy Note 2 release date is scheduled for October 2012
The release date of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is not yet confirmed and could be inaccurate as we are few months away from its debut. Once we will know more about the Galaxy Note 2 and its release date we will let you know so consider subscribing to our Facebook or Google+ page to find out more.

Although I would be happy if its true...But thats all speculation..no hard fact. The author just wrote what he thinks and its not really a very well written article also. But thnkx for the post.

skipped buying SGS3 for now. another 4 months to go for Exynos 5250 1.5ghz quad core or 2.0ghz dual code

Time to start saving my pennies sure its all speculation, but it makes perfect sense

I do like the 5.3 inch screen on my note but if it goes to 5.5, we may honestly start getting to the point where its just too big for a phone...

Maybe speculations,but I'm ready to buy one

Screen could be bigger without increasing final device size... So, It could be great!

at 5.5" screen display is still acceptable for me...
so Exynos 5250 processor is 1.5 quad core or 2.0 dual core ?

I seriously hope this is not true, as much as I want the Note 2 I have to say its too soon, less than a year is just just too soon and also sends out the message ,'note 1 was a failure but since we see potential we release a Note 2 in less than a year'.
If this happens its gonna upset so many consumers who just bought the Note 1. Hoping that this article is not true I have to say, I'll believe it when I see it.

My pocket can endure 0.2" added bashing. But I guess physical size will remain the same and slightly thinner than current GNote.

This is basically a spam blog meant to generate page views.
The author literally just made **** up for hits. He has nothing to go on but speculation.

This is only speculation the 'reporter' can't even write properly and there are no source attached

Using the note1, i'm pretty much convinced it's the phone for me, as for note2, I'll see when it comes out. Releasing it in October is really too soon, wonder if it's just another trick of Samsung to try and deter consumers from buying phones from competitors by making us wait for note2 or they've really gotten hold of enough market stats to have decided on the note2's design, chipset etc.

Anybody's guess. I am sure their guess about screen size is wrong.
@Galaxy Note™…

To everyone saying its too soon you need to realize that the Galaxy note has been out since october in europe. So if it is scheduled for a october announcement it isn't too soon. Its given a year the way technology is moving. I was looking to get the note but I will wait longer just to see. My sister in law has it and I love it when I get to play with the note. Besides it might be released in october but the way carriers screw us in the states we won't see it till february like the first note.

hmmm my theory, if they wont announce higher resolution then note 2 screen size will be the same, because what's the point making bigger screen with same resolution and lower ppi? also i think that it will be something similar to s3 features + some spen features.

[POLL] Are You Getting The Galaxy S4 Octa 5 Exynos or Quad Core Snapdragon 600?

Just wanted to do a quick poll on if your getting the Galaxy S4 Octa 5 Exynos or Quad Core Snapdragon 600.
If you have a reason for choosing one variant of the Galaxy S4 over the other be sure to comment below!

Haven't decided if I'm upgrading my device yet but if I am, I will be attempting to get the Exynos Octa. The improved battery life and the PowerVr GPU as well as the wolfson DAC are all swinging me towards the Octa. Based on previous Samsung devices, the international version received updates quicker. One downside to the octa at the moment is the lack of LTE, although I find 3G to be fast enough so it isn't really a downside for me.

I voted exynos though by the time they get to the UK the Note 3, Motorola X and Nexus 5 should all be on the horizon so I may end up getting any one of these four phones especially if Sam manage to do some tardis like design with the Note 3 so it doesn't actually get bigger in the pocket.

I'm going to say there will be about 3 or 4 million Snapdragon devices sold JUST in the U.S. .
Just about every other country except for South Korea and maybe Russia will also be mostly Snapdragon versions. Hopefully, for those of you that ordered the Exynos versions, Samsung will let some of them slip out to other locations as long as they have allotted enough to those two countries..

Octa 5 Exynos seems more future-proof than Qcom Snapdragon 600.
^O^

Wolfson chip is all I care for now. But kind of annoying to learn new standard will be 9505 as most countries will receive those. So development will support them more than Exynos. However, even less development support can't force me switch to 9500 as sound quality is the most important part for me right now. I'm listening to a so much music and I spend the same money for my headphones as I do for my phones.

Unsure as of yet, I don't put bat life as a high priority, I want root but only for the apps that require root, I want the best potential game play and sound, I want lte for faster web than I get now on hspa+42 with my n4, so I guess I have to wait till late June early July and see what the exynos is like by then in the UK or even if the phone has been superceded by then.

I want Exynos variant, but hope with new firmwares will score better on gpu benchmarks...

Am in America and there's LTE to take advantage of, so I have to go with Snapdragon. I would really love to use the i9500, but for me, the better LTE speeds will trump the possibly better processor/audio/battery life of the Exynos. Out in the suburbs, a difference of LTE can determine whether you're streaming Youtube in 1080p, or barely skating by on 360. Likewise with Netflix and other services like that.
It would be awesome if I could have the best of both worlds, but I suspect by the time they did that (if they do it at all with the Galaxy S4) then the Note 3 will be out and then I may as well get that.

that snap wont have the wolfeson chip? wtf!!!! i have a note2 but was looking to get the s4,oh well.. i just wonder how much worse the dac will sound

Quad Core Snapdragon 600
Why?
On Sprint and have an upgrade
rumored to get better cpu support
LTE is available in my area
difference in performance is not great enough to give up other advantages

SD600 because of LTE

Going for the i9500 as that's what we are having in here. No LTE yet
Swyped from another galaxy

Going for GT-I9500.
No 4G in my area yet.

No LTE, neither I9500 here. Undecided which one to buy. I'll wait for few reviews. I want the Octa, but waiting few updated benchmarks and battery life from Octa before deciding if deserves the money and all the processes to get it instead of i9505

What would the advantage of the Wolfson DAC be over the Snapdragon GS4? GSMarena's audio testing shows the Snapdragon GS4 has better audio quality than my Nexus S which has a Wolfson DAC.

Since here in Luxembourg we are getting only the I9505 version, I'll be getting the Snapdragon version. I don't really care about benchmarks and CPU's though... so I think I will be ok with both versions

Snapdragon here.
not like I have much of a choice

While I am intrigued by the BIG.Little architecture, and would prefer an exynos with LTE and support for T-mobile radio bands. Since that doesn't exist currently, I am resigned to the Snapdragon, but really not that upset about it. The Snapdragon 600 is a beast in its own right, I'll only be mad if the battery life ends up being much better with exynos over snapdragon.
I'm not too worried about a 10-15% performance difference, and think that development will be better on the snapdragon. I'm much more excited for the new screen, removable battery and sd card, new sensors, wireless charging add-ons, smart cover, almost non-existent light leakage, etc..
