Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 or I9305? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For you, which is better to buy, Samsung Galaxy S III I9300 INT'L or Samsung Galaxy S III I9305 LTE version?
I9300 - FM radio/1GB RAM/ICS
I9305 - No FM radio/LTE/2GB RAM/JB
thanks!

If you can, go for the i9305
Supports 4G, 2GB of RAM and... thats the only difference.
Android versions are the same 4.1.2 jellybean and soon they'll recieve 4.2.2

thanks for the response, planning to buy s3, but really confused on what to buy. LTE i9305 or i9300. i9300 int'l have lots of developers/threads of roms and kernels. but i think, LTE version is better because it has 2GB RAM

Go for the I9305 as it has 2 gb of ram and it supports lte. Thats the only difference. However there is more developer support for the i9300

Only if you want to brick your phone and have no warranty.
Updates go and ask Samsung .
This is not I9305 Q&A
Basics read first.

Warranty is not transferable but you can pay for a repair .

I know that i have no more warranty. But I asked about parts, are they the same in every phone? If they are, thats great.

Not a clue as i have never opened every phone . But probability is they are the same .
Firmware will be different as per modem and csc .

T-Mobile USA? No. T-Mobile USA Galaxy SII is the SGH-T989. That model has its own forum, you should go there. I9100 ROMs will not work on the SGH-T989 because they have completely different chipsets and hardware.
Yes you can if you flash any i9100 it will work great it will actully enable the 2 extra cores to make it quad core!!!!

I don't know about gt-i9100g, but I'm using SHW-M250S (korean gs2) now.
as i know, there is three type of korean gs2, m250s/k/l. s/k is for gsm, and l is for cdma.
m250s/k is i9100+nfc+dmb(korean tv broadcast)+some pit difference.
if u just flash pit for i9100 on m250s/k, you can flash all roms for i9100 on m250s/k.

And the battery

I don't know about the Korean variant of the galaxy s2, but the major difference between the GT-I9100 and the GT-I9100G version is the SoC. Exynos (made by samsung) is present on the normal (non g variant), and has a lot of dev support because it is the first international variant. The G version has Omap4 SoC, the same as galaxy nexus, which makes it more dev friendly as Omap4 is more easy to develop. However, the G version has 1 GHz processor, not 1.2 (like the non G), tho users are very happy with the G version. It all depends on what you plan to do. If you want to flash AOSP (such as CM9/10) ROMs, you'd be better off buying the G (version) since developers are now leaning towards that. Both phone have custom ICS and JB ROMs, so you don't need to be worried about that.
As far as the battery is concerned, I'm happy with my S2, I can easily spend a day using it with normal use. I plug my phone in at night and plug out after waking up, and use the phone for the whole day without charging again. I guess you could say its reasonable for such a smartphone. I don't know about battery life on the G version, though.
Both phones are alike in physical appearance, and the way to distinguish between them is just the from the bootscreen or written behind the battery on the phone, and on the box ... maybe someone else may tell you more about it.
Sorry for the long post

People in India are not happy about getting the g model in the box when they have paid for the non g model.

the i9100 has the dual core exynos 4210 with mali 400 gpu specs on sheet its faster than omap 4430 , but u wont tell the difference ! the i9100g has a better battery life and is powered by sgx 540 but its overclocked from 233mhz to 384mhz other than that they are the same ! plus i noticed that my i9100g comes with 11gb storage only not 16! which is kinda weird
Dude, give up on the idea and just get a Nexus 4 if you want Jelly Bean.
Don't even think about getting any other Android, it just won't be the same as getting the updates straight from the big G.
Good job necroing a 12 mth old thread

[Q] help me decide

which one should i buy S3 i9300 or S3 i9305
depends purely on what you need - development or RAM

Yes, which one very much depends on you though bear in mind that development of both models is a little patchy, due to Samsung not releasing all the required sources / documentation, but development for I9300 is better due to the more widespread availability of the handset.
its always better to go for a development device rather than having plenty of ram unused
It also depends if ur going to use 4g or 3g

[Q] Snapdragon rom worthwhile upgrade?

I just rooted my S2 yesterday and am considering flashing the Snapdragon rom. My phone is currently running Jellybean on the T-mobile (UK) network.
Is it a decent rom? What are the benefits? Any problems? I did try doing a search for snapdragon but no results showed up.
Thanks for any and all help

Maybe you should check what other users of that ROM have to say (in the ROM's thread).
You have a SGH-T989 right? I thought the Snapdragon ROM was for the I9100.
T-mobile uk deals with I9100. You got rusty
@ OP listen to neo there, don't let this become a better ROM thread.
