Hello All,
I was thinkin of getting the new Samsung Galaxy S 2, but when i took a research i noticed that in the Netherlands the Galaxy s 2 has a dual 1.2ghz with 3g network.
ht tp :/ /sh op.w ww.hi.nl/hi/RAPRD/Samsung-Galaxy-S2/TSAI9100bl.html?M5Referer=google_gsm
& when i searched in Germany it has only a 1ghz dual processor with a 4g network.
h tt p :/ /shop .phonehouse.de/handys/viewDetail.php?iModelId=1116&gclid=CLaF5pW5_KgCFYSGDgodoH07SA&Apid=Hurra
So, did they bring out different types or did they made a mistake?
(just like i some sites post the SGS II has a 5mp camera..)
all very weird..
The thing why I bother is, i'm going to buy the phone in Germany, but i'd like to have the 1.2ghz version they sell in the Netherlands...
Thanks in advance,

No, it's always a GT-I9100 (sgs2) with 1,2 GHz and 4G (the icon onscreen is H+)
Some websites say that there will be a GT-I9100T with a Tegra2 powered cpu and a lcd screen
But i think it would be a Tegra2 powered cpu and a superamoled+ screen...
Dont call me liar or something else, this was what i have heard
Edit: and it's always a 8MP cam

The thing is, i've found on serveral sites that there 'are' diffrend versions,
look at this:
h ttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II
that's probably the reason why they sell a different version in Germany,
but it leaves us a main question, will the GT-I9100 or the GT-I9103 be the better phone.
maybe i should wait a few weeks searching which will be better, before buying the phone.
Two versions are Xynos and Tegra, no idea if I've spelled them correctly.
But the Xynos is better with 1.2 GH'z, where as Tegra is 1 GH'z.
Only advantage Tegra has is that is specialised for gaming I think..

The Mali gpu is also more powerful than the GeForce ULP. As you say the only advantage Tegra has is gaming, but that can be bypassed when we get the plugins needed for Chainfires awesome app.

I don't understand why you're quoting me, you're saying the same thing as i did.
Here in Portugal I heard that here we'll be getting the version with SLCD screen and possibly the Tegra cpu. However saying that, I cannot find any reference of any retailer here selling the S2 yet or any launch date for it which I find strange.
I also heard that there will be a Galaxy S2 mini version with 1.4GHz cpu and 5MP camera.
When I bought my SGS 2 in The Netherlands I asked if they heard something about a Tegra2 version with a possible LCD screen.. They had not heard anything about it. Im pretty sure in Europe every SGS2 being sold right now is Exynos 1.2 GHz and SAMOLEDplus.
Here they also talk about the two version's: h ttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II
After searching on the net, i'm still not sure where the different version's will be launched..
Maybe in a week or two we will find out ;p
Hello,
I was looking to buy the Samsung Galaxy S3 but i'm confused as to which model should I buy. The international model or the North American model.
I cannot upgrade through my carrier (Bell Mobility in Toronto, ON) and hence either one I buy, I'll have to buy from outside.
Is the processor (dual vs quad) along with the RAM the only difference in these two models? If yes, then which one should I go for? Maybe answer in terms on battery life, ROMS available, etc etc. Would the quad core be faster than the dual core with half the RAM?
I have a regular data plan and I won't be thinking about using LTE for now.
Usage wise, I'd say I'm a moderate user and don't play very heavy games, but maybe, occasionally I might play MC3, GTA III etc. Definitely be multitasking a lot and constant texting/facebooking/checking emails etc.
I'm thinking to get the International version! But if the North American version is better, I would go for that.
Thanks
If you aren't using LTE then international model wins hands down.

It's not 1ghz and 2ghz but 1gb and 2gb of ram. I'm from Canada and I chose the int one because of dev support, better GPU, future quadcore optimization, I don't care about LTE since I have 2GB of data monthly and 3G+ is enough for me. Also audio as nodstuff said, earlier release and finally 1gb is enough, I'm doing heavy multitasking and I never reached the 1GB of ram, the redraw issue can be fixed by editing a file and I'm sure it will be the same for the US version. So yeah int version is the best for me, now you have to find out which one is the best for YOU.
IMO, LTE is not all it's cracked up to be, if you don't have unlimited data then it's not really worth it. I'm not going to sacrifice faster CPU/GPU for a 2GB cap LTE.
Needless to say I got international version.

1) Faster CPU? R u blind or something - Krait uses a highly modified A15s (which i believe what everyone wanted before Samsung decided to step back and stay on A9s for a bit more) and to be honest it is indeed faster in real life especially when it comes to opening apps (i had a chance to play with 2 devices).
2) GPU is faster on international thou but doubt u would be able to use even half of its power (i still have ipod touch 1gen and it can handle all games except Infinity Blade as long as OS allows on its weak PowerVR MBXLite)
3) Both have Wolfson DAC
4) NA Galaxy S3 has double RAM. If u are a multitasking freak (or use alot of ram hungry apps) then u would see a performance difference. Its also there to feed S4.
5) Krait is more power effecient than exynos when just using HSPA+
6) You have an option to use LTE (battery life will start draining faster however but highly dependent on your network)
With that said Exynos is indeed more optimized (no surprise) so the experience may be slower but ALWAYS fluid. However, nothing that the xda devs cant fix!!

Optimised A-9's built on 32nm Fab. Process with HKMG.
Krait is not more energy efficient, research high k metal gate which is used in the exynos 4412.
As for wolfson DAC, what us your source for that information? Supercurio said that it didn't after he came back from a trip to wolfsons facility in Edinburgh where he went after being invited to share some ideas.

Reviewers have already indicated that the NA SIII is indeed faster in regards to cpu and slightly better in battery life. It was also proven that the INT SIII has a significantly better gpu. Nonetheless, both versions are fantastic and have their tradeoffs.
I prefer the international phone. Fast and clean phone, unlimited for $10 with high speed enough for me. Love the battery, last for a long hard day.
Decision Made!!
Thanks for the responses guys!!
I finally got my hands on the International model and been playing with it heavily since today afternoon. They battery was at 54% when I first booted the device. Its been several hours of non-stop usage and the battery life seems to be good. Of course its too early to make any conclusion.
Overall, I'm loving it. Its so smooth!!
So glad I decided to sell my note to get this one. No doubt the note was/still is an excellent device. But I love S3 more!!! <3 :laugh:

I am running the standard APN and my current plan is a LTE unlimited plan since I also have an AT&T HTC One X.

The North American S3 does NOT have a Wolfson DAC:
Qualcomm's S4 chipset uses Qualcomm's proprietary audio hub, the WCD9310. This chipset is found in the US versions of the One X, One S, and even Samsung's Galaxy S III (only the international Galaxy S III will have a Wolfson DAC, sorry guys).

Damn, for a moment I thought the US version was on par. The upgraded DAC would be nice.
What about gorilaglass2 ?!?!
There are a lot of videos and comments, about International version don't have Gorilaglass2, what is proven to be on US version!!!
Honestly if you are not going to us LTE then there should be no discussion about it. The international version is an amazing phone and I got it because I also don't care for LTE. If I did then I would look into the pros and cons for both versions. Since your not using LTE then looking at pros and cons is just invalid because overall international version is more optimized and even the largest multitasking user will reach MAX of 850MB... honestly. Hope it helped.

My phone's lost. I dropped it somewhere last night or maybe someone picked my pocket. It's out of service now, wifi/data off, and it was pattern locked. I think the only way for anyone to use it is to reformat the thing. No "Plan B" and I regret uninstalling one of the security apps which would have wiped it clean with a text message.
I've been watching and learning from this corner of xda-dev ever since I rooted my phone. From Unofficial CM7's to Unofficial CM9's. Without this forum, I would have been stuck with a bricked phone a long time ago. There was a lot of help and I thank those that gave tips on what to do to fix issues.
Thank you to all devs for making our lowly O1 the best that it can be, especially the ones who brought in ICS goodness. I've always procrastinated buying a new phone. Seems like every time I come to a decision, someone makes a major breakthrough with the OS. Was hoping to try adfad666's JellyBean today but well... life's life. I guess this is a sign? LOL
I'll settle down with another part of the forum once I've made up my mind on which phone to get. On a side note, any suggestions? Something a step up from the O1?

they don't want you to root your device because then you don't get the same "customer experience" and they also say that you might be "tampering with the network" or "ruining other customers experiences" by you rooting a phone that you paid for. BS

Well, i would suggest buying a phone with newer chip.
HD2 has QSD8250(Q4 2008). I dont think qualcomm's gonna support it forever(like it did with us)
So, you should check this site.
I recommend
Galaxy Ace Plus 1.0 GHz ARM Cortex-A5 Adreno 200 (enhanced) Q4 2011
LG Optimus L7 1.0 GHz ARM Cortex-A5 Adreno 200 (enhanced) Q4 2011
Any phone applicable to your budget and needs in MSM8255(much better) 1-1.5 GHz Scorpion Adreno 205 Q2 2010

I am about to buy the atrix 4g, since my xperia was stolen, i looked it up and found that the max oc for the atrix is 1.6 ghz..is that true?and if so, how come that the mini 's single core processor can take more than the atrix 's dual core???

Most Atrix phones will only OC to 1.3GHz. Very few of the Atrix phones can take the 1.45GHz or 1.6GHz. Same as a PC, all hardware is different, even if the same parts. Don't bank on buying one and being able to OC to 1.6GHz because it's a very low percentage that can go to that. Mine for example will only go to 1.3GHz. Anything more and I boot loop after flashing the kernel.

Being able to channel higher volts/temps doesnt make a cpu intrinsically better. Just means its a more solid slab of metal. Please familiarize with nuances of overclocking before going for record OCs or you will damage components.
Try the atrix at stock. Its extremely snappy, and im not talking in terms of "my email doesnt lag" snappy.
If you have the mentality to push it as hard as you can for giggles, try 1.45 ghz.
If youre looking for a phone that can run [email protected] in record speeds, well youre probably crazy so thats moot.

Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to know any provider in US is providing the quad core version of the phone? I have to get myself a new phone. And will weigh my options between iPhone 5 and S3 (just waiting for reviews and comparisons), but wanted the quad core version of the Galaxy S III.
U can get them from newegg brand new but at full price.
All the us carriers have the dual core version. And actually my brother has lte dual core version from T-Mobile and according to our test, his is slightly better in the graphics department and mine is better in cpu but not enough to tell a difference.

I beg to differ. I actually have both devices currently. The overall speed is slightly different. The dualcore seems a bit quicker but it's not as smooth and fluid as the 9300. You really can only tell having them side by side by the US version is slightly more jerky than the 9300. I'm not saying the US is a slouch at all but side by side you can see the difference.
The JB leak on the US version has made it super smooth though. I believe project butter is farther along on the dualcore JB leaks than the 9300 leaks.
About the heat, my US version actually heats up more than my 9300. The Ram department I'm not seeing a huge difference there either. I mean sure the US has more free ram available but so far I havent noticed anything too different. I mean I have over 700mb free on my US version now. I opened an app like 20 min ago came back to it and it had to relaunch so even though I had over 700MB free the app still closed itself(or android did)
They are both great devices and I do find myself switching between the two. LTE is very nice..
I really really hope they release a quad with 2gb and LTE in the US like they are in other parts of the world but I doubt they will since in their eyes NA already has a LTE capable GS3 with 2gb of ram. That would be my perfect phone
So I wouldnt hold my breath for them releasing one in the US that just has Quadcore with 2gb of ram and LTE but I guess I can hope
The international version has a faster GPU by quite a way. However, if I were you I'd focus more on whether you require 4G than whether you can get hold of the quad core. The reality is that the quad core processor is not better. If I had the choice I'd have gone for the S4, but of course that choice was not there.

While many are responding to your question about S3 quad vs US dual core differences, I wanted to respond to your iPhone 5 vs S3 doubt.
I think you should first of all think about screen size. In my opinion, 4" and 4.8" are totally different things. For me the choice is simple, I wouldn't want the iPhone because the screen is too small. The apps can be fantastic and fluid on the iPhone, I will enjoy them more on a (much) larger 4.8" screen. The iPhone 5 seems to really have a (exynos 5 based) dual core A15 based processor, which is pretty neat. The performance should be really great while battery life will be solid as well. Anyway, it all doesn't matter because the screen is too small!
So I would say think about this, if you still have doubts between the iPhone 5 and the S3 (whatever version)

There is no way u would choose the dual core 2gb over the quad core 2gb. Thats a joke. They done a comparison and the dual core 2gb is equal to the quad 1gb. So let's just imagine the quad with 2gb

I also own both devices and I've been having such a hard time deciding on which one to keep and which one to sell. The US version definitely is jerkier on ICS. I'm downloading the T-Mobile JB leak right now, but I was running one of the Canadian leaks and it still felt jerky like ICS was. Battery life between the two seems pretty even although the International seems to win out. Also I'm on Straight Talks so LTE isn't a factor for me. The US model probably due to the modems and what not seems to be better with straight talk than my International does. Sound quality I have to say is better on the i9300 vs. 747. Even with cheapo headphones I was noticing some songs sounded worse on the i747 vs. i9300. I'm still going back and forth. The 2gb of ram is nice, but I really haven't seen any difference in the Ram usage between the two. The S4 seems to kill background processes the same as the Exynos. There definitely seems to be more development for the International model over the US one, but seeing as Sprint, T-Mo, AT&T, and Verizon are all the same there's still a lot of development and if one gets a better leak than the others it quickly gets ported.

I never really noticed until I was listening to songs on random. Usually when I go for a run I use my Zune HD for music, but I was using my i747 so I could use one of those GPS running apps and I was thinking man I don't remember this song sounding so muffled and flat.

I have both as well and I'm thinking of using my i9300 as a media player/gaming device and stripping out all the phone stuff and using my i747 for phone functions like surfing the web texting etc.. for the LTE connection (which has spoiled me) But I think I would look pretty funny on the subway with two of the exact same devices. One for my music and one for texting.. hahha
Quad core is the way forward, if you wanted a dual then in all honesty there are better phones out there for the price tag.
A lot of people say that the extras cores aren't always utilized and they're partly right, but the overall feel of the system and gaming in particular will shine through on a quad as opposed to the dual offering.
If you have the honour of being able to choose between them, then you have to weigh up whether you want quad core or 4G.
Personally i've got wifi most places i go and HSPA is rapid for me so it's a no brainer but some ppl just want more, i myself think it's an unnecessary sacrifice.
But thats just my opinion.
