The article says 1.5 ghz dual core, Exynos doesn't make 1.5. Take a look at the Galaxy Skyrocket...

Provided by SK Telecom, wiki says they are CDMA based provider not GSM.

If some people think there is lag on the Note with the 1.4Ghz Exynos they'll really think it lags with the 1.5Ghz Snapdragon.

Which means it uses Qualcomm S3 which means will likely support T-Mobile band. Great.

I doubt it'll be a problem if you root and get rid of the bloats and after developers get rid of Carrier IQ.

Questions is who's selling their 1.4hz to get the new 1.5hz. I know Im really looking at getting this one as soon as it becomes available in the us. EBAY here i come...

Unless your in an LTE market that this Korean Note will work on and you have an Unlimited data plan there's no reason to get it. The 1.5Ghz Snapdragon is slower than the 1.4Ghz Exynos in the current non-LTE Note. It's slower than the 1.2Ghz Exynos in the SGS2 and people have commented on how the AT&T Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket which also uses the 1.5Ghz Snapdragon isn't as snappy as the SGS2.

Hold on you know what we should try first, the modem file. Lol

I know but Im looking at the fact that Im a t-mobile user with 3 phones on a family plan and Wish my note worked on t-mobile 4g. And I didn't have to run to at&t for service.

Cute Touche' Does anyone Know a Korean a website in English they have run into for ordering from the USA
As far as the snapdragon being slow, remember I have tried both chips and unless you are a gamer it is not that noticeable of an issue especially, when new roms start rolling out.

Has anybody found out what bands this new Galaxy Note from Korea will support I can't find anything.

I heard all bands, 1700 aswell.

Not really worried about NFC yet until more stuff works with it I just want it to work with T-Mobile

Which version has more potential for future development?

Im debating between the international version and the att version( i have tmobile) and i was wondering which version is easier for rom developers to work on?

International will always have more development. Your problem though is that the international Note will only achieve EDGE speeds on TMobile.

Ditto.
The only way you are going to experience better speeds would be on ATT's network.

If you're on T-Mo, buy a GNex (has pentaband HSPA+)
If you REALLY want a Note - time to switch carriers. International unlocked Note + Straight Talk BYOD SIM is your best bet.

hmm im planning to only use wifi, so it shouldnt worry me so much then?

international version has more user if you compare it to at&t version, more user means more dev, and the only limitation is at&t support LTE HSDPA+, but international version no..

In my honest opinion the international.
Because much faster processor and gpu.

How I bricked my phone is a few days

Rooting the phone was pretty strait forward.
Until I tried to flash an omega rom for i9300.
I thought since the recovery and boot partition are separate hard bricking the phone is near impossible.
it is very possible.
sent it to mobile tech videos for a JTAG repair.
It just arrived today ill keep you guys posted.

It's for i9300 for a reason the phones are completely different they really just look the same.

Waiting for results from Mobile Tech Video JTAG repair...

You flashed a rom from another phone to this one? Same name, different insides.

I'd guess he failed to pay attention to his phone model and the intended phone model for the ROM.

Damn that sucks dude, idk why people with the US version always try to flash our ROM's, just doesn't make sense!

To be fair, it doesn't help that they're all called "Galaxy S III" while having very different internals. It does make accessories and stuff a lot better though.

The title of the forum is Galaxy S III I9300, and the US forums has ATT and all the other carriers in the title. I think they should just rename it to International Galaxy S III I9300

I think if you are rooting and flashing ROMs to your phone, you should at least know the model number like how the Sprint GSIII is SPH-L710.

I still don't get the "international" label we put on phones. The US version is the only one that's different. If anything, there should be a "standard" version and a "US" version.

And Korean and Japanese and Canadian and.... G and... P...

Galaxy Nexus or GS3

Which do you have, GN or GS3? Why?
What is your battery life?
Should I wait for next Galaxy Nexus?

I have neither, but all I can say is that I'll never buy a non-nexus phone from Samsung. If you want good software, wait for the nexus, but if you want good hardware, the S3 would be for you. Personally, I feel that only good hardware isn't what all a person needs..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

I have both. Nexus is rooted, S3 not yet. S3 manages it's power a lot better. Nexus must be rooted to achieve decent battery life. Hardware is much better on S3, but I wouldn't have a problem going back to my nexus either.

The camera alone on the GS3 was enough for me to not use my Nexus anymore

Every review I have read says the Galaxy S2 beats the Nexus and the S3 is so much better than the S2 so pretty sure the S3 is better than the Nexus..

I don't have the nexus but the S3 is really sweet. I came from the Razr which I still have and use from time to time but this has better battery life than I thought. Also the camera is really fast, no delay! So far the only complaint is the radio is not as good as my Razr but from what I read the nexus is just the same!

I had both deal breaker for me was no storage on Nexus, camera and battery life. Sgs3 is much better in those departments.

Thanks for that info. Let me make sure I understand, the Nexus has not sd card. What was your typical battery life not including extended battery?

I got both and I prefer my gs3 is slimmer and camera just kill the galaxy nexus, ics touchwiz is not the bad, and now we got a pre cm10 on our gs3 night lies for cm9 and aokp m6,so I'm sticking with my Galaxy s 3,another reason is space unless you getting a cdma one the gsm one didn't cut it for me 16gb is nice but not enough, I had a 32gb iphone and got used to taking the alot pics so I would recommend you the gs3

There is always something better coming, but that something better always come late since we're in the US.

The S3's bootloader on Verizon is locked. That right there makes me want to keep my Nexus. I'm new to Samsung anyways. Only had my Nexus for a few weeks now. I've played with the S3... its a sweet phone. The screen and camera are amazing! But I'm content with my Nexus for now.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I don't have a Nexus, but I've played with one and it's certainly a great phone.
I'm an AOSP-addict, who has never once been satisfied by a manufacturer's ROM. I would crack-flash a buggy build of CyanogenMod rather than have something like Sense/Motoblur.
However... The TouchWiz on my Galaxy S3 isn't so bad when rooted and debloated. It's good enough that I switched back to it from the buggy CM10 ROM I had on it.
They're both good phones, but it boils down to how badly you want AOSP and updates from Google.

I wouldnt say that my Sprint GS3 is that much better than my GS2 Epic Touch.I think the screen on my Epic Touch might be better.Other than this they are almist the same.In Qudrant GS3 scores aloms the same in FPS tests(i know GS3 has higher res) it beats GS2 by low margins in others,and in some tests GS2 scores higher.
Is GS3 better?Yes,but not by much.Now international quad core Xynos version is probably a lot better,and Korean quad core with 2gb of ram is the king of phones at the moment.

Droids get slot of undeservrd glory in my opinion.Would you say that GS3 best phone you ever owned?
I speak for my self but ever sense i bought Samsung Behold 2(RIP),i loved Samsung phones mainly because of rought build quality and Amoled and dont even consider other phones(I do like Xperia's only thing missing is Amoled).
I own Epic 4G-best GS1 variant,Epic Touch-best GS2 variant and now GS3 on Sprint(this time Sprint version doesnt stand ot from the rest),but i love them all,even my original Epic still holds its own with ics rom.
LONG LIVE SAMSUNG!

Do you know whether the 2 gb ram quad core is regional and cant be used elsewhere in the world? I was thinking that I could have one of them shipped to me, that is if it works here where i live. Admit it, the korea variant beats everything in the market right now.

You know what,i think it is.Though quad version with 2gb ram is ether Korean or Japanese version,i think its japanese version im not sure.
But regular quad core international version with on 1gb ram is tmobile and att compatible.
Another plus to to one of the quad versions has built in tv tuner!Google it,if you have the money get one and let us know how it is.

I have both. Rooted s3 with AOKP narrowly beats the nexus. Once the s3 has a JB ROM it will be no contest.
Honestly, the nexus camera is the deal breaker.

I think once its widely available they will split it off like they did for the N7 3G. It probably wouldn't hurt to have the GT-N5100 thread also.

Hmmm .... no respond from moderators.

Does Note 8 LTE not going to have any dev support? Does LTE based ROM more troublesome that the 3G counterparts?

My bet is that development comes in full force. Att is offering such a sweet bundle deal on the N1520 that its hard to resist picking it up when you buy either the Note2 or the SGS4. Speaking of those two LTE devices, look at all the developent they are getting!
Patience...
As for separate threads:
I wouldn't bet on it until after the proliferation of development makes it hard to navigate within the existing shared thread.
Edit:
My mistake, looks like the Note8 that att has a deal on is the I467 not the N5120 (just checked in About Device).
Where are the N5120's coming from?

agree!

N5120 is 3g + LTE model for around the globe (minus US, which is in a totally different world of their own)...
N5100 is 3G model
N5110 is wifi only model

I would love that too. Looked through the dev forum and not a single custom kernel for n5120.

+1
N5120 is the only model selling in Hong Kong.

+1 from me also, problem is that we need some devs to own a LTE-device and then also develop for it. A thread is good and all, but it wont magicaly make ROMS and Mods appear
And hopefully now that Samsung released 4.2.2 for the N5120 we might see some more things pop up

Guys, there is a mod post for requests in the main forum. Please post there as well.

just got this model as well over the weekend. been enjoying the ride so far.

In singapore, we only sell 5110 or 5120 model... haha... there isnt any 5100 model for us....
On a side note, i would strongly recommend all users of 5100 + 5120 models to buy Sony SBH52... its not released yet, but it would make a great complement to our device...
