First, let me say that as a long-time iPhone user, I was surprised by how much I like Android and my SGS II. I still like a lot of things about the iPhone, but I don't see myself going back anytime soon. With that in mind, I am seriously considering swapping for the Nitro when it gets released. I'm not sure dev support will be as good as it is for the i777, and I think those devs are awesome, but the Nitro looks like a great device. Thoughts?

Assuming that it is the same device as the lg optimus lte released in Korea and Canada, there is a huge problem in that the phone is actually a 1.2ghz apq8060 processor over clocked to 1.5ghz which causes large battery drain and provides a measly 3 hours of talk time, even on an 1830mah beast of a battery. So I'd pass....

It's said to run the Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8260 processor and not the apq8060 processor. So 1.5GHz is a normal frequency for it.

Out of curiousity, where is that said? From reports I had read, the LG Optimus LTE is the phone that will be sold as the Nitro on AT&T, and according to LG's website, the Optimus LTE runs the APQ8060. ChipsetQualcomm; MDM9200/APQ8060 (1.5 Ghz)
http://www.lg.com/ca_en/mobile-phones/all-phones/LG-P930.jsp
If what you're saying is true, then it means the Nitro will be an upgraded version compared to the ones released in South Korea (LG's home base) and Canada.
GSMArena and others are listing the Scorpion (MSM8260) as the included Chooser.

GSM Arena shows the Nitro here: http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_nitro_hd-4329.php
And says: "For AT&T. Also known as LG P930." On LG's own site, as I linked in the previous post, LG states the p930 comes with the apq8060.

The link is for a phone titled as "LG P930 Optimus LTE / Nitro HD Specs" and LG's own website says the P930 comes with the apq8060 processor. I wish that weren't the case because I really wanted to buy this phone...but unless LG is lying to us...dunno what to tell ya.

Well, LG should know more about there own device so most likely their info is correct.
Yes, I have seen both chipsets listed at various places, and Bell in Canada does not list the specific chipset. I wouldn't even consider the APQ8060.

I ran the spec sheet on the processor....this is what it wrote:
Key enhancements over previous Snapdragon™ chipsets include:
• Unrivaled system performance with new dual-core Scorpion CPU architecture offering industry first speeds up to
1.5GHz per core.

Would that mean it is overclocked to 1.5GHZ? or does it mean that the 1.2's are underclocked, or different samples?
---------- Post added at 05:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 AM ----------
Also digging in a little deeper, the same chip performs pretty decent in the Tmobile version of the Galaxy s2?
I could live with that kind of performance, although it would be watered down because of that badass screen. That screen, Apple's A6, ICS, and a nice industrial design chassis with Gorilla Glass would be a keeper.

Yes. Well...no. Uhmmm after some research, it gets even more confusing for me. This is the same CPU they used in the HP Touchpad. For anyone who's familiar with the HP Touchpad, it was clocked at 1.2ghz. Though, technically it was underclocked as the processor can run 1.5ghz just fine. In fact, I OC'd my touchpad to just over 1.9ghz. The issue isn't the performance of the chip at 1.5ghz. It's the battery drain. This is the only reason I can think of that would explain why the phone has a 3 hour talk time, compared to 5 hours on the Galaxy S2 HD LTE which is also 720p, running dual core qualcomm 1.5ghz chip (msm8660 I believe), and LTE. Unless someone has another theory? p.s. I got the initial 1.2ghz stock clock from wikipedia.
I have no doubt this phone will perform well. But 3 hours talk time? How many hours for video or web browsing? I'm used to streaming nearly 10 hours of video on my iPad 2 or browsing on my iPhone 4 for a good 6-7 hours. Cutting it down to 3 hours is like going back to the iPhone 3g days.

You are correct. Sort of. In that there is a huge performance gain to be had through ICS. If I had an SG2, I wouldn't "upgrade" to a galaxy nexus. But...if I had to pick one as my first phone, the nexus would probably get first choice because it does have the option of taking back to its stock 1.5ghz clock. But wait for the SG3. That phone will be running samsung's very own exynos quad-core processor and a new version of mali.
I'm back at work tomorrow and (hopefully) get some hands on time with the optimus lte, so I'll see what I think about it then.
I would definitely appreciate that kind of input. The Vivid and Skyrocket just didn't do it for me, and the chances of getting the S2 HD LTE on AT&T are slim and none .

i would think otherwise, i think if samsung want to take customer on christmas other mobile company other than verizon they have to release the hd version, Since verizon already got nexus.

Hey. So I did some tests. It...doesn't do so well. Well, battery life is tragic. Went from 52% to 18% in about an hour and fifteen minutes of random usage. Non-phone. Maybe 5 minutes of gaming.
As far as benchmarks, it got 2800ms on sun spider while the raider got 4300ms.
For quadrant, it got 2500, the galaxy s2 4g got 2300, and the raider got 1800.
All seems good....until you compare it to the benchmarks coming out of the galaxy nexus. How much of those are software based? We'll have to wait and see.
Also...gaming. Forget about it. 720p. The gpu can't even properly run the preloaded asphalt 6 game. Unless it's a 2d game like angry birds, don't even think about it. I'm running a video battery test. Streaming Netflix. Super troopers. Over hspa+ 21mbps. At 70% battery life now. Auto-brightness. Will see what the battery percent is in an hour.
---------- Post added at 03:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 AM ----------
13% battery drained after 16 minutes of hspa Netflix movie streaming. Just pure garbage.....
---------- Post added at 03:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 AM ----------
I was wrong on the previous assessment. It's even worse. It's going at a steady rate of 1% per minute if video streaming. Suffice to say....I'm canceling my order for thus phone and will just pick up the galaxy nexus.
---------- Post added at 04:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 AM ----------
For ****s sake....after 1 hour of Netflix viewing, the battery went down from 70% to 8%. Do NOT buy this phone. You've been warned. Cheers.
Hey I was reading about the sgs3 and I was under the impression that it would be a quad core but in the official tmo article it say this: a Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ S4 Processor with 1.5 GHz Dual-Core CPUs and 2GB of RAM, the Galaxy S III also offers a large, 2100mAh battery to power hours of on-the-go entertainment.
So are they saying it is going to have 2 dual core cpu's =ing a quad core or is it just a dual core? I am not the brightest person so maybe one of you can set me straight. Because I would rather just not spend the money until a quad core comes out. I will be happy with my SGS2 runing AOKP for now.
the international version will have (1) quad core exynos chip - the us variants have (1) dual core 1.5 chip.
basically
the international version has a quad core processor, all U.S variants have a dual core processor.
This is the only hardware difference between models, as well as the U.S variants having 2GB of ram and the international version having 1GB of ram.

I don't get why you people want a quadcore phone. I bet most of your computers aren't even quadcore. Don't really see a need for it to run the things we have on our phones. I doubt any apps will utilize all 4 cores.

europe (and most of the rest of the world) is dominated by hspa+ and not lte. qualcomm is the only soc producer that has integrated lte into the soc (so it doesn't get terrible battery life like the gnexus) so they get the exynos and tegra socs, we get krait s4.

The quadcore doesn't "cause problems" but the SoC does not have an LTE modem in it. LTE would require a separate modem/chip.
On the dualcore Qualcomm SoCs, the LTE modem is physically a part of the chip.
I am really confused.
When I test my brand new Samsung S3 LTE with 2gb of RAM my scores are usually 12500.
When I compare it from the Antutu list of phones against Samsung S3 (normal version with 1gb RAM) the score is about 16000.
??? Why is that?

Hardware and design
The S III comes in two distinct variations that differ primarily in the internal hardware. The international S III version has Samsung's Exynos 4 Quad system on a chip (SoC) containing a 1.4 GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 central processing unit (CPU) and an ARM Mali-400 MP graphics processing unit (GPU). According to Samsung, the Exynos 4 Quad doubles the performance of the Exynos 4 Dual used on the S II, while using 20 percent less power. Samsung had also released several 4G LTE versions—4G facilitates higher-speed mobile connection compared to 3G—in selected countries to exploit the corresponding communications infrastructures that exist in those markets.[44] Most of these versions use Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 SoC featuring a dual-core 1.5 GHz Krait CPU and an Adreno 225 GPU. The South Korean and Australia versions are a hybrid of the international and 4G-capable versions.
