Samsung in Korea sale the Korean version of the s3 called E210 has 2Gb rom .
is 2gbrom very important and necessary?
This E210 is worth buying it?
well if your into rooting your phone and customising n all that, wait a bit more and get the international lte version. I heard they'd be 2gb ram as well on exynos. korean versions can get a bit tedious trying to do anything with, especially if you can't speak korean

Sent from my beautiful GS3 int unlocked, rooted and beloved.
wow....
again with the smart answers.....
do you guys know how to read????????
i thought you guys have already the s3 and know the answer....
i CHECKED the internet and it doesn't say anything about 4G international, but then again if i asked your opinion about int. vs north america and you tell me to google....
thanks for the smart reply...
No, the international version (GT-I9300) does not support 4G, that's exactly why North America has its own versions (there are also some North American versions without 4G too, if I am correct).
The N.A. versions have 2 GB of RAM and a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor (Qualcomm Snapdragon S4), while the international version have 1 GB of RAM and a 1.4 GHZ quad-core processor (Samsung Exynos 4 Quad). In addition, the maximum up and down speeds on mobile networks are obviously quite a bit higher for 4G LTE than international, but if you, like I, mostly use wifi networks, international should be fine to (and I can say from my own experience that the mobile network speeds on the international version ain't that bad either).
You will have to make up your mind yourself, though, as I think in the end, it just comes down to personal preference. I have the international version myself, though I am perfectly fine with it and I wouldn't really exchange it for a 4G model even if I could.

Hi Mr. Technology challenged. There are tons of threads in the general section with wars going on this topic. Check those out.

Also if you aren't on ATT the international one isn't worth buying anyways.

Only question for me is do i want a quad or a dual?
The 2GB of ram is nice but negligible, very little will benefit from it, at the moment anyway.
The quad core system on my i9300 is a monster, i would hate to lose two of the cores.
Plus the development for the i9300 is top notch, which for me sell's itself.
I had a bad time with the evo 3D, the uk didn't like it very much and this was reflected in development, I chose it over the sensation XE as it had an extra 256MB of ram, oohhhh big mistake lol, the sensation wasn't as quick on paper but it was optimized due to better development and for that reason i was left wanting, huge regret.
Plus the 3D didn't help
The point i'm making is, don't go for a phone just because it's got a bit more ram, especially when what's already on offer (1GB) is more than enough.
The data side of it i wouldn't know as i'm in the UK, afaik it's pretty good here.
5mb down 1.5mb up, not too shabby

I can't see carrier logos in the XDA app so I said it anyways even so, in Canada you'll only get 2G on WIND and I believe Mobilicity but I could be wrong about the latter.

I had the AT&T Galaxy S III when it came out, but ended up returning it due to the very poor LTE speeds I got in Chicago. Anyway, I did notice some lag throughout the home screens. Wasn't bad at all, yet annoying. The I-9300 has the quad core processor and much better GPU, so how are animations on the International version versus the North American version?
In my experience with using both.. quad core version does seem to have a slight speed advantage. Also the latest stock ROMs seem to imptove performance, which is something the US versions dont receive (well.. as often anyway)

There are tons of other thread exactly on same topic. Unless you ask our old friend jamedandmandy everyone will unanimously agree that international version is faster.
I own both, and I think international one is tad bit faster in every way.
☞ sent from GS3 or Nexus
the simple fact is
the international version should be faster as its a quadcore
the us version is a dualcore
the only other difference between them worth noting is the us version has 2gb ram compared to the international version that has 1gb ram
Hi all.I'm in the UK with the Samsung galaxy s3.and Orange/t~ mobile are advertising working 4g towards the end of the year.
Now I'm wondering is our s3 going to work on 4g ?
I've googled this and some sites say yes and others say no ?
Thanks in advance....

No, the GT-I9300 model does not and will not support 4G. This is the reason why the US Variants use a different SoC, as it has an inbuilt support for 4G, while the Exynos SoC does not.
4g is an absolute battery killer from what I can gather anyway, so not really bothered, do most of my downloading at home or over openzone
I reckon a Korean version would still give you the superior Exynos SOC, 2GB RAM and LTE/4G. I'm looking for somewhere to buy them. AFAIK Korean Telecomms use the same radio spectrum as we do.
The LTE version will soon be available in Germany,
Contact Orange in UK!!!!!!

Yes that would work, although I would contact orange and see if they would comment on this, although try to make sure it would go through to someone in the UK not someone in India who is reading from a script!
If you do buy it from Korea be careful with ROM's and don't forget about import tax! :laugh:
Hello all
As u all know there is an upgrade ver of samsung galaxy s3 international model, it has 2gb of ram etc
My question is will the new model support the Customs roms for the normal international s3?

The international, non-LTE version, does NOT have 2Gb of RAM.
The ROMS for the LTE and non-LTE variants are different, because the radios, GPUs and CPUs are different.

No. This is wrong.
The US LTE version has a different CPU and GPU and radios, the new international version with LTE has the same CPU, GPU and radios and also includes an LTE chip and also 2gb of ram.
ROMs MAY work for both, but then again maybe not. We'll have to wait and see what devs do.

What the f***? Where can I find out about this new international 2GB version? I think maybe I need to offload my 1GB handset before it comes out and decimates the value of it.

Try Google?
Also note that lte will cost a premium, kills battery, and speeds in real life, busy network situations are untried and untested so far, so don't ditch the s3....be patient and stay informed

Yeah, a quick Google search for "international galaxy s3 2gb lte" didn't turn up the result I wanted on the first page unfortunately.
I presume that it will only work on Everything Everywhere's new LTE network? I'm planning on selling my S3 anyway so I can get the next Nexus - I was just afraid that the value of my S3 would get destroyed with this new 2GB version coming out. I guess not if it can only be used on Tmob/Orange.
....and only a few cities at the moment, so it will just end up using 3g and 3g+ anyway, so not worth wasting money on till next year at least
All Samsung top end phones will end up with the new process ram so they say .
But they don't say when or what models .Its a new method of building the ram that allows 2GB to take up the same amount of space in a phone as 1GB does at present .
I have lost the link to the above so cannot post .
jje
I don't think the S3 LTE will sell as well as people are expecting. I think it's a rushed product, they should have waited until the S4 when LTE will be more widely available.

And let Apple have an "actual" instead of perceived advantage? I don't think Samsung is about to let that happen.
I really don't care about the LTE anyway - it would be nice but I doubt it will come to my little town any time soon. What I care about is the 2 gigs of RAM which is what this phone should've had in all territories from launch -_-
It wasn't technically possible at launch...
Everyone knew full well that at least Note2 would pack it so if it was a r quirement, you should have held out.
Note that the new international is not software-wise compatible to the i9300 and thus will have a largely smaller modding community

hello, I would say how to buy a galaxy SHV-E210K in korea from italy, and if it can be used here. thanks a lot
easiest would be having some contact in korea who can buy it for you. if you're desperate enough like some iphone user who bought iphone 5 from australia, you can go korea and buy one.
otherwise, i'd say just wait for the intl lte version to be released. they have the same specs. probably the safer option too if you want any kind of after service
