Nice. I tried telling an AT&T rep that ill be available this summer and he kept saying no itll be next year.. Pretty sad when a common John knows more than a "committed, seasoned rep"

And also even told him that it would be dumb-downed to dual core and he insisted quad core.. Smh. Maybe ill apply for a job there and take all of his customers haha.

Not dumbed down. Nothing wrong with dual core with superior architecture

I wonder how the dev support on this bad boy is going to be

I just checked out the specs on PhoneArena .. impressive .. 4.8" 720 .. 32GB built-in WITH (and I must bold that WITH since the HTC One X doesn't have) .. microSDHC/XC support to 64GB more .. wahoooooo
However, in the radio information .. doesn't state anything about LTE !!!
http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-AT-T_id7131
EDIT: whoops .. it states it in the description about the phone in regards to LTE support. Wonder why they didn't list in it the frequency listings !!

Hopefully AT&T follows suit with the others and announces the June 21st release.

Honestly seems a bit weak for a such a huge release for AT&T... Not only did they cut the quad and went with a dual core processor for LTE, they also cut the internal storage. Sure, the processor has better architecture and has more ram, but worth it...? I wouldn't entirely think so.

Seems the iPhone 5 is only running at 1.02Ghz.

The iphone 5 dual core is faster than our quadcore. Search for new benchmarks in google -.-
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

If it's not fake then good work for the benchmark until Jellybean for S3 arrives
http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/1026099
Still S3 outperforms Iphone5 :good:
And Iphone 5 will only use that for the gaming applications because their homescreen is so basic (No widgets and true multitasking), so to summarize it's still a useless upgrade.. I'd rather buy a Ps vita/nintendo DS for gaming if the main focus of apple products is to improve the hardware for gaming.

4 Cores at 1.4Ghz should win out over 2 Cores at 1Ghz. But by a lot more than that.

The only thing that pulls the iPhone 5 benchmark scores higher is memory bandwidth.... The s3's cpu scores substantially higher.

[SPECULATION] Will you buy Nexus 4after Note 2?

So, will you?
Its a nexus device so development will be strong there, as well as timelyGoogle updates vs large screen and stylus and touchwiz?
True HD IPS vs RGB super AMOLED
Quad core snapdragon vs quad core Exynos 4

How is this "Speculation"?

um no the note 2 has a bigger screen

Well, you need a bigger screen and adults but many people like to see timely updates, and beautiful AOSP. Everyone has his choices. I'm moving from Note 2 to Nexus 4...
No device development here and we will probably get 4.2 next year or so.then key lime pie will come D:

Well,its a matter of perspective...
Just my opinion, nexus 4's snapdragon is much faster than exynos 4. .just saying

seems a little disappointing from the reviews. Was expecting the bechmarks to match that of the optimus g since its built really similar to it and share similar internals. Still a great phone for the price, but wont touch the note 2.

hmm.. where are the benchmarks that say it doesn't match the optimus g? was actually thinking of buying this for someone as a xmas gift..

I have a Galaxy Nexus and I will check 4.2 on it. Not missing original Android at all.
Smaller screen with huge on-screen buttons making it even smaller...
Many homemade roms and kernels that dont bring a lot besides gadgetry and bugs.
No Sd card, no replaceable battery, unproven build quality.
The longer the list the better the Note 2 is looking.
I guess yeah if you are into going from one buggy rom or kernel to another one every two days maybe you need a Nexus 4 for that.
Good homemade roms/kernels can be counted on the fingers of one hand for each phone.

Engadget claims that the battery of the Nexus 4 is half the battery of the optimus g and phone arena already stated that the note 2 has double the battery of the optimus g. So the answer is no, I don't want to downgrade from 8h of screen on time to just 2 or 3 hours.

www.engadget.com/2012/11/02/nexus-4-review/
checkout the performance and battery details..no where as good as our beast!

To all those people sagging about the performance and battery life issues, the reviewers had test units with totally beta software. in the review of the verge the device is even seen to have a software update available which hasn't been activated.
So:that's not an issue. the hardware is quad core snapdragon and 2GB ram, same as on lg optimus g,which is a beast in performance and battery life, and that's on ice cream sandwich!
Until then, take these reviews with a cup of salt

Again there shouldn't be a comparison between these 2 phones they are aimed at totally different markets.

Nexus 4-5

I will get my nexus 4 in summer, maybe may or June, so should I wait for the n5 or just stick with the n4 ?
And isn't the hardware on the n4 is going to do great handling any apps or games without any problems for a few years ? I mean it's the best out there I think...
1 last thing what about the back glass cover does it crack easily? Even if I bought a grab or sth?

Give him a break guys, he's using the xda app and obviously there isn't a search button. And it would have been easier to just answer him than try to be a mean mum.
To OP: You wouldn't regret getting a Nexus 4 mate. The hardware would undoubtedly be outdated in a few years, but it certainly won't fall behind by that much. And you wouldn't feel too far behind from new android versions since this is a nexus.
The glass I think is fragile but putting a case on the back would definitely protect it. But temperature changes (sudden ones) are rumored to affect the glass and cause them to spontaneously break without producing splinters. Based on the data though, one can assume that only a few units are affected by this condition (mine too, unfortunately )
Anyways, it's your decision. If you think you can wait, then get the 5, but if your hands are itchy and want to get a sexy device, get the n4
In my opinion though, wait till june. If the nexus 5 launches and you don't like it, then get the 4, if you do though, then obviously get the nexus 5.

I'd say hold out for the N5 if it were to be released around May. I doubt that since the N4 was released just a few months ago. Better yet, wait for that Moto X phone..

Exactly and also it mentions tegra 4? That outdated piece of garbage. Qualcomm is currently the best chip. Agreed tegra has better gaming performance but overall Qualcomm blows away tegra.
Anyway there won't be another nexus coming till October. May be they will have a Moto X phone or something but not nexus. That happens once a year during holidays.

I mean, what is the point if not to simply wait 6 months and then do it. Price will be lower etc.. at least that... At the end, you have a great piece of smartphone which is doing fine, like now

Christmas discounts beats them all at the end... and then, it's each to his own Comming from SGS II I skipped S III as it was flawed, no leap, no nothing IMO.

I hate Nexus 4's display. so much blue. the dark black is bluish (blue-ish). And the display is not calibrated and again what I hate about Nexus phones is the camera is bad. Although the phone is very fast and I love the pure stock Google's Android experience!
and by the way, how much the Nexus 4 priced in your country? mine is $500, I'm in Indonesia.. SO EXPENSIVE!!
