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

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.

Japan Getting Galaxy S3 with 2GB RAM

Seems like the folks in the UK aren't the only lucky ones.
NTT Docomo confirmed that they will have their own 2GB retail version of the Galaxy S3, more info here: http://gs3central.com/content.php?r=137-Japan-Gets-Galaxy-S3-with-2GB-Ram
UPDATE: Canada also getting 2GB RAM version with dual core and LTE: http://gs3central.com/content.php?r=152-Canada-June-20-Release-Date-Confirmed-Plus-2GB-RAM!

Has anyone maxed out 1GB of ram on the GS2? I only ever got to a max of 500mb ram used of the 800 or so that was free.

Uk? Theyre getting 2gb too?

Fighting LG
I guess this is deeper than just responding to the LG phone, it also means that SIII is probably more highly adaptable to combinations of hardware in design than expected.
Although Samsung said the Super AMOLED Plus has a problem or short-lived blue dots, but I think they are reserving it for something even bigger.
Considering the there are also reports saying that Google wants Jelly Beans to be released in Nexus first, I guess Samsung will do something better very soon. What's more, who supplies Apple with the New iPad screen? Samsung!
Maybe "SIII Advanced" with better Super HD AMOLED Plus? Flexible AMOLED? Even thinner body? SIII isn't as slim as we thought.

C'mon man, let's not start another hype-nuke with the Nexus and the amoleds plus 2x epic and flexible amoleds and 1mm phones.

So only <300MB ram available for apps? This is just as bad as the One X with Sense.

And people say one gb is enough... They must not be using their phones if they say that they can't even use half of the ram.

The exact reason i want to upgrade to this before the end of my contract is cuz my phone keeps ****ting itself when i run out of ram. This doesnt sound all that promising now.

i saw a pic of 2 versions of the SGS3. the korean version is square looking, while the international one is rounded. is the korean version bigger than the international version?

Usa gs3 selling for $500

Anybody got ideas why this price drop?($150 less than the international version)

We handle our currency differently than Europe. Our dollars are less than euros so it translates to more money to import it.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He said selling for less not more. we have different hardware and therefore different costs for one. second the phone is well into production now. where did you find the us version for 500? also the t-mobile version has the same chipset as the skyrocket that sells for 330. the us s3 is overpriced and i expect sudden drastic price drops. Its being subsidized for 150 + contract for a reason.

Interesting, im going to continue looking into it. Wonder why theyre using the same model number. Doesnt the t-mobile version clock less? I have the 747 and the 727 skyrocket in front of me. The skyrocket benches 3600 quadrant and 6000 astute. Not sure if these similar scores to the t-mobile variant are due to different resolution. Skyrocket is Qualcomm 1.5 dual core.

if your talking the tmobile gs2 it is the same as skyrocket a snapdragon s3 chip. the tmobile gs3 is a completely. different snapdragon s4 chip. which i get about 5000 on quadrent both chips are clocked at 1.5 but the s4 chip uses a newer technology. which makes it faster and more efficient

The T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T GSIIIs are not using the MSM8260a. They use the MSM8960 Krait chipset. I am unsure of the Sprint because I can't find the specs. I am pretty sure it utilized the MSM8960 as well. The MSM8960 has been shown to keep up with the current Quad-Core processors. Mainly, the Nvidia Tegra 3 chipset. If you do a Vellamo benchmark, you will see that it scores very close to the HTC One XL which uses the same chipset and beats the One X which is Quad. The GSII 4G and Skyrocket both had the MSM8260 Scorpion chipset. S4 stands for nothing more than Series 4.

I can see there are new OTA files (around 30mb) on sammobile.com website.
Inside OTA file i have found many system apps with LTE in name and also i have found info that it has been benchmarked by antutu :

Ahh I'm guessing this is the one for T-Mobile's 4G network that's being launched here soon.

Yeah but interesting thing is that the us version doesnt have quad core on LTE
but this one seem to have 2gb of ram and quad core. That would be preety awesome, if 4g network coverage will be good of course..

Time to sell gt-i9300 then I guess, the extra ram will help with so many apps running, and 4G on tmo will be sweet. I think is same with Korean version 4212 quad with LTE

what the HELL are you going on about You ordered a black one? Thats not even available yet, Optus only has Grey on pre-order and they arent even being delivered until the 20th.

I would would like to see a direct comparison bettween a 9300 and this one. Anybody saw one already?

this is the korean but the specs are the same. Korean is the white one. Watch the whole thing look how many apps are loaded in the korean compare to the 9300
Not the best comparison but it shows abit of difference

Edit: Wow I just realised as i watched it again DAMM I cannot wait to get my new beast.

I Saw that months ago, but it the difference also has to be with the lte speed. When you get yours can you do a comparison please? I would also like to buy one but I bought the 9300 a month ago so I don't know. I found a seller, is it trustworthy?
