can any one please tell me will samsung galaxy s III have a quad core processor? will all the versions will be international version? I live in India & I've decided to buy it. but this thought is disturbing me will s III have a quad core processor or not? please help me as soon as possible. please
International version is quad core. No confusion here.

I think only the US versions will be dual core. The rest will be quad.

There has been no official word on the dual core version the only reason there is some speculation was because something a Samsung executive said when he should not have and a device profile for Verizon.
Now don't get me wrong here I still thing the US LTE versions are going to have the S4 chipset but I am going to keep my hopes up and pray to god we don't get an HTC One X clone(Hardware Wise)

Do what everyone else has done, read the reviews and posts, they will answer 99% of all "will it......" questions.
Don't mean to pick on you and I will say I am sorry if that's how I come off but the sections are really getting cluttered with some useless questions. I enjoy reading all the reviews and watching the videos of people who already have them in their hands. It's very informative.
can any one can make me understand that why samsung will use a dual core processor instead of a quad core processor for LTE?

The S4 has a built-in LTE modem, Samsung has not yet made their own SoC with a LTE modem in it.
Basically they would have to make room for a LTE chip, and instead of doing that they simply opt for the S4 with the built-in LTE modem.

Because the hardware for lte isn't currently comparable with the quad core.

thanks too all of you to make me understand what I've asked.
samsung has promised to give LTE service in some selected countries. but one of you has said that LTE is not capable with the hardware of s III. then how it'll be possible to give LTE service? can you please make me understand?

The change is processors. The US versions have a dual core processor so they can support LTE. Any other version with LTE will also only have a dual core processor.

I think we need a thread that compare dualcore A15 vs quacore A9 once a for all so people can stop complaining that they didn't get a quadcore.

Whats the difference? I too my be getting one. However after checking out att and tmobile's website i noticed the t mobile version has a 1.5 not a 1.2 Ghz processor. is this correct? Also how hard is it to CID unlock the tmobile version?

Its 1.5 because of snapdragon 3 chipset and its weaker BTW
And also have different sections so the roms here are not compilable with them

Wait, so the T-Mobile version, the 1.5, and it has a weaker processor than a 1.2? How so? And what do you mean "And also have different sections.." as in CDMA and GSM sections?

Clock speed doesn't really matter
exynos 4210(1.2 Ghz) is better than snapdragon 3(1.5 Ghz)
Just google search for it
You will get 1.5 ghz(weaker one with less dev) on at&t
From t-mob you will get epic touch 4g(same as international in hardware but different buttons and different section)
So its better to buy i9100 international unlocked sgs2 if you care about development
Dont buy it noww..
Wait for sme rtme and get the Samsung galaxy S3....
SGS2 is now a year old...

Since all the LTE Variants have identical hardware, and radio, would you deem it possible to have interchangeable roms?
It should be just like the gnex have to change a couple things in build prop and a few files and should be good

That makes me wonder, would all (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint, Rogers, etc) the S4, LTE Devs share the same initial repository through Github for development and just branch off with the different Init.d, and radio files?
Is this how it's done for the Galaxy Nexus?

It will greatly reduce the time for getting aosp up and running as many more devs will be working with the same hardware....the only thing that really needs to be different is the device tree...porting from gsm to cdma and vice versa will be easy. Replace vendor folder in system then replace apns-conf.xml with the one for your phone.edit build prop and it should boot.you may have to fix a couple things but hard work is done.like with gnex all kernels should be interchangeable.....gsm kernels work with cdma and vice versa........

And it will, as soon as it starts being delivered. Earliest possible release is for CA on the 20th of June I believe.

It's not a S4 variant if it's a SGS3 LTE.

Forgive me for reading between the lines , but I think he was saying that the North American versions with the same hardware should have their own forum section for development.
Which actually makes sense.

S4 as in the processor
I expect the North American S4 variants to receive the best developer support to date for an Android phone! As it's been explained, it's basically the exact same phone across all of Canada and the US. And with the powerful processor and 2Gb RAM, we could be in for since amazing ROMs, hacks, tweaks, and more. Can't wait!

Lol I mean dual core processor s4 variant. I hate calling it dual core variant because many people may get offended and also it does not do justice to the hardware.
It's just so much easy to call it s4 variant.

Not all the dual-core/2gb versions are going to be exactly identical hardware.
Docomo version has a digital TV tuner, dual-mode NFC-A/NFC-F but no FM radio.

Agreed. It's been confirmed we are infact getting our own dev forum, the layout of which is still being discussed.
I don't think the S4 version will get as nearly as much development as everyone will go for the superior quad core version. 2GB ram is useless of you have a crippled copy to begin with.

You think that the entire North American market is somehow tiny from a development standpoint?
Just how many people do you expect to pony up for a more expensive international version with more limited functionality on most carriers over here?
Statements like this just confuse the hell out of me. Though I really shouldn't be responding to trolls to begin with...

NONE of the GT-I9300 (International GS III) ROMS will work with the North American Dual-Core GS III variants. Period.
Sorry...the current roms I have been reading about such as Foxhound have been used on the SG3 that have quad core processors. The US version has dual cores. Is this a factor when choosing a rom?
Does that help any? Thanks

The international version has quad-core processor (Samsung exynos 4) and the US variants have dual core processors (the Qualcomm snapdragon s4)
I guess whoever posted those spce doesn't know the difference between I9300 and US variants

I guess that the best explanation
A german thread says:
http://www.areamobile.de/news/21805-samsung-galaxy-s3-quad-core-version-mit-lte-vorgestellt
US Version Dual-Core MSM 8260A (Qualcomm), but with LTE
European Version Quad-Core Exynos 4412, but "only" HSPA+
Korean Version Quad-Core Exynos 4412 with LTE
What do you guys think?
It seems we will receive 4.2 early next year, but what about 5.0? It probably will be out in summer, so its near the end of the 18 month update plan.
Guesses?
i don't think . they will probably say they are " working on it " than cancel it and say it wont release it because it doesn't have enough ram .
^ 5.0 will probably add a bunch of new features but I'll bet the main aim for El Goog will be to optimise it so it runs on more devices. The biggest con on Android from other smartphone users is "fragmentation" I reckon Google will do their best to sort this.
Yes

It'll probably be on the SGS IV then.
Lets watch how 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2 goes, 5 shall probably follow the same rollout schedule.
As for telco's rolling it out, expect the same slowness 3month+ delay for bloatware, testing, reports, approval etc. Probably a 2014 release unless it comes pre installed or DIY if you want it early
Think ill just go for the SGS IV
I would say, Yes.. unless there's a new hexa-core processor for smartphone in the coming future, then will slightly doubt S# will be getting 5.0
For now with quad-core and 1GB RAM (or some cases 2GB RAM) are enough spec for smartphone..
Maybe, in year 2046..

They are the best processors though, and if you want a proper a15, the exynos 5 is the only way to get there. It's also worth keeping in mind that the Exynos 5 is also much more open source friendly now that it is used in the nexus 10(that could however change if Samsung decides to go for the big.little architecture change).
Just because Exynos deosnt have proper documentation doesnt mean its not the best mobile processor on the planet. It is.
