Aha, cool I was worried I ordered wrong. I'd be pissed
I9100 is Exynos Galaxy S2 then.
I preordered on Amazon and it says that ones have NFC in the phone too. I heard that UK versions don't right? Just another plus.
Thank you for the anwser.

Because it contains S-LCD and that is crap!
How I know?
i9003 -> S-LCD
i9023 -> S-LCD
i9103 -> Probably S-LCD.

Samsung came out today saying that the leaked specs were inaccurate. So while the device may be the SGS3 the specs may not.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1215034
I'll take a wild guess, and say that might actually be the model name for Samsung Hercules, which is just SGS2 with a slightly larger screen
which already got pictures leaked out for Telus and Tmobile USA
I think Samsung will hold back S3 specs until Apple play their hand. Apple remain very cute at the moment with I4 still doing amazing.

Was shopping at Fry's today and I saw the price tag saying "Samsung Galaxy S II WHITE", specs are exactly the same as Black one.. but don't know if it's true or not, didn't bother asking the employee to find it. Probably a mislabel or something is my guess since I can't seem to find a white version of the SGSII on AT&T website or anywhere....
Knowing Fry's and the kind of people that work there, it's most likely a missprint.
That'd be sweet
White skyrocket?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
Maybe they got it confused with the tmobile galaxy s2
^The sign was in AT&T section.. and T-Mobile version and Skyrocket has 1.5 GHz Dual-Core which they list it in the price tag.
That would NOT be cool. My return period is over x.x
The sprint version with the same 1.2ghz as ours was just announced in white....

Fry's don't sell Sprint phones though. They only sell Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T (contract phones), at least in the Bay Area.
Searching the PLU gives the original black one, however there might be a white one coming, and they put in the wrong name...

White Skyrocket's official. Goddamit, if only my return period was still on x.x

Yeah it came out exactly a month ago, actually.
Ok so i have had my galaxy s captivate for 1.5 years and love it. ATT now has a sale until March 28th to get the sgs2 for 9.99 as my upgrade. My question is should i grab this great deal or wait on the sgs3 which is going to be expensive as hell.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
You should definitely get it!
Development has skyrocketed for the Galaxy S II and there's dozens of ROMs available, but the Galaxy S III seems ok but if you're impatient for ROMs 'n' stuff you're better with the Galaxy S II.
better wait for sgs3 and see what it offers and its price and sgs2 price will drop after sgs3
If price is a factor go for it. The S2 is a massive upgrade from the S1.
Sent from my GT-I9100T
if you can wait and afford it, then theres no question. the s3. no amount of roms can make 8 mp 12, dual core into 4 and so on. youll be competing with the best of the high end the likes of the s2 and the 4s.
unless the s3 turns out to be a pile of snot upon release ofcourse.
as an s2 owner since last may, i can say that i picked a gnexus on upgrade but found that the s2 was on a par or better in some respects. the s3, if it bests the s2, is a no brainer.
If that 9.99 is a one off payment its a bet to nothing .

Thanks for the replies. Gonna grab it after work at 5. Any ICS roms recommended or should i stick with GB?

This means he is an AT&T user in the USA, and is talking about an upgrade to the Galaxy SII for AT&T, or the Skyrocket. No chance he'll be able to upgrade to the GT-I9100. AT&T doesn't offer the I9100 at all.
OP, ATT has their own model of Galaxy SII, which is the SGH-I777, and another variant for LTE called the Skyrocket, which is the SGH-I727.
You are currently in the forum for the GT-I9100, which is the international model of the Galaxy SII. There are similarities between the SGH-I777 and the GT-I9100, but there are differences as well. Firmwares are not totally compatible between the two. If you flash an I777 firmware to an I9100, or vice versa, it won't TOTALLY break your phone, but things won't work right.
The I727 (Skyrocket) has completely a different SoC/chipset, so firmwares are COMPLETELY not compatible with either the I777 OR the I9100.
The SGH-I777 and SGH-I727 both have their own forums.

No worries; I just want you to be fully informed. It would suck for you to have gotten one of the phones, and try to flash a ROM from THIS forum. If you had gotten the regular Galaxy SII, it would have just acted weird. If you had gotten the Skyrocket, you probably would have completely bricked the phone.

Sure galaxy s3 is worth buying dude. the fastest quad core out there. If you want bigger screen, wait for Galaxy Note 2 or 10.1.

s2 is a better value for money...rest its ur bucks...
its better to take htc 1 x. this device s3 is highly over priced idiot samsung.
i will stick to dual cores for now as quad core is not worth buying now.
thats my view
note and note 2 are toooo big

HAHA Processor frequency and number of cores don't mean higher performance. A good processor needs a good architecture. In this case, Samsung Exynos Quad is definitely better than Nvidia Tegra 3.
In my opinion, don't get a quad core smartphone this year. As they're only with 2 additional same level ARM-A9 in the chip. I would recommend you to get the Snapdragon S4 powered smartphone. As it has 2 ARM-A15 processors inside. One A15's performance is actually stronger than two A9. The idea smartphone in this year should be Sony Xperia GX or HTC One S with the HD screen missing but other than that, One S is awesome.

I would try websites that are in the UK that might seem the international version like Amazon.co.uk but wouldn't you want lte as the international version doesn't support lte? Also the quad core processor might drain the battery faster though things you need to look out for.
Edit: I believe you can buy stuff from Amazon.co.uk and will ship to the USA

Thanks, will look there.
I know, but I rather have the dev support. Besides, I'm on wifi 90% of the day, so don't really need lte. Also, I'm pretty sure lte will drain more than the quad core processor.
Thanks for sharing your opinion though!

I recommend going with Expansys USA since they are a USA vendor and you can get a square and trade warranty.
