So as the title suggest, what is better? Is the Quad Core 1 Gig better than the Dual Core 2 Gig versions of the S III? What about the video quality on the 2 Gig version? Is that going to suffer? And even more, is it worth jumping to the S III if you are on the Galaxy Nexus?
My initial thought is with Apex Pro installed as the UI the S III will feel close to the GNex but with more RAM so it may be an upgrade although a minor one.
What are your thoughts on this? Everybody weigh in.
Thanks!!!
2 gb I will take hands down. LTE and the s4 combo works well, as proven by the HOX

If only I have a choice. Dual core 2gb Ram is of course better. With LTE support, is definitely way better than Quad core.

Q hmm ....resembles Q&A..
Don't know if you care about audio, but we don't know yet if the dual core version will still keep the Wolfson DAC.
If the LTE version will have the same battery capacity of 2100 mAh as the international counterpart definitely will have a better battery life.
I guess I made the assumption that the Audio would be the same...not a good thing to do I guess.
These are the specs for ease of viewing:
•Processor: Snapdragon S4 Dual Core 1.5 GHz with Qualcomm MSM8960 Chipset
•OS: ICS 4.0.4
•Data: LTE (SGH-i747 variation) and HSPA+ 42 (SGH-iT999 variation)
•Memory: 2 GB RAM
•Dimensions: 136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6 mm
•Weight: 133g
•Storage: 16/32GB internal memory (SGH-i747)/ 16GB internal memory (SGH-iT999). Expandable microSD up to 32GB
•Display: 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED 1280x720 (306ppi)
•Connectivity: NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, DLNA, WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n, MHL Video Out
•Camera: 8MP Rear-facing, 1.9MP Front-facing
•Battery: 2100 mAh
...no mention of the Audio though
look at this : http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_tx_t_and_v_benchmarks_are_here_promising_too-news-4722.php
in the results, the new line of sony xperias, r getting better results on benchmarks than galaxy s3. How can it be? How xperia t with almost the same specification than xperia s gets better results than galaxy s3 with his quadcore processor ?
Quad core is not yet optimized in android
Android is not ready yet for quad core
Dual core is more than enough for android (well ICS)
Because i think jellybean quad core will do better (CMIIW)
Its not just Xperia T all device that use S4 "krait" Dual Core benchmark is always better than exynos

Its the next gen snapdragon S4 plus krait processor..u can find out about those over at their site Qualcomm Snapdragon Processors. Just because S3 and HTC ONE X has quad core doesnt make it act fast coz despite of the cores, the normal apps doesn need to use the quads. May be ull get better gaming fps and smoothness with tegra 3 but when its come to web browsing, stability and working potential the snapdragon chipsets actually does a lot of good work. Waiting for the LG Optimus G. Heard they used S4 PRO Quad Krait

Because cores != performance.
Gesendet von meinem LT26i
Because it's not about number of cores.
Typically the phones with more cores run them at slower clock speeds, canceling out the difference.
It's all about getting a BALANCED spec, which includes I/O rates, flash speed, memory channels, memory bandwidth, cpu cores, cpu power management latency and literally hundreds of other factors.
Both Sony and Samsung are tier 1 manufacturers, which is why they know how to spend money in the right areas when it comes to component costs.

XS Use S3 processor, No Ext Memory, no LTE, 12mp camera
While XT S4 processor, Ext Mem, LTE support, and 14mp camera
If you talking about benchmark
Its pretty far i think thanks to the S4
But the downside is the illumination bar
I really love that bar. if xperia T have that bar i will upgrade without thinking anymore

The new gen S4 PRO comes in two form, Dual and Quad..LG Optimus G went with the Quad 1.5GHz and a shattering 320GPU. Its gona be pretty fast in 3D rendered games for sure and as its Qualcomm then u can very easily bet that there battery consumption will be less than usual Quads
Qualcomm doesn't use reference ARM Design. they just get the license for A9/A15.
They have their own Design like Apple with their SoC.
The Sony Xperia S has the MSM8660 which is a Snapdragon S3 (45nm, Single Channel RAM, Andreno 220 GPU).
The Sony Xperia T has the MSM8260a which is a Snapdragon S4 (28nm, Dual Channel RAM, Andreno 225 GPU).
The difference is also in the architecture.
S3 = Scorpion: This is the own Design of Qualcomm which is compareable with ARM Cortex A9
S4 = Krait: This is also designed by Qualcomm and is compareable with ARM Cortex A15
The performance of Snapdragon SoC's is incredible. Its not just, that Android is not yet optimized for Quad-Core SoC's but also the Design.
There are already benches available showing the APQ8064 which is a Quad-Core with Andreno 320 GPU. There is no compareable SoC at the moment and if I'm not wrong the LG Optimus G will get this SoC (Q1/Q2 2013).

For better GPU performance, i have seen Qualcomm betting more on MSM8960 than any other. I am waiting for S4 PRO MSM8960T chipset review (will surely be used over TABS only) lets see what it got. Didnt read nor know anything about APQ8064 model and i dont think dat we will get to know about that chipset unless LG releases their Optimus G. Xperia T has the AP series from S4 PLUS but S4 PRO is a total new ball game . Am guessing that the next gen S4 chips can easily be overclocked to 2GHz+ as my Xperia-S is already running on 1.78GHZ smoothly and its a Dual Core S3 . LG announced 2GB of ram for the Optimus G so, basically, 2GHz+ of overclocked QUAD PROCESSOR with 2GB ram is a must have for any enthusiast android developer/user. And if they manufacturer make it to a perfection than for sure its a must kept for the next 2/3 years as android for quads, wont be developed before that time but WITHIN that time. That 320GPU is already like a cherry on top so for now, am just keeping my fingers crossed to know how the battery will perform :fingers-crossed:. Then again, thats just my prediction and thoughts . As is said before, Qualcomm already won my faith over their chipsets . More like Dejavu ..More power work yet less power consumed

It's not only quadcore + Android not optimized to be the reason that Xperia T and other new Krait S4 CPU powered phones are better then Samsung's S3.
The S3 is powered by the tegra 3, and tegra 3 isn't the newest CPU anymore. It's just the fact that the S4 processor from Qualcomm is newer and better optimized then tegra 3.

S3 powered by Tegra 3? Where did you read that? It has either the Quad Core Exynos or Dual Core S4 Krait in some models variations.

LOL S3 have Quad Core Exynos .. Tegra 3 is for HTC ONE X and Xperia T came with S4 Plus Dual Core Krait which actually has beaten S3 and HTC both to some serious extent. Hell, HTC ONE S beats one x to some serious level BOTTOM LINE : Qualcomm holds the authentic brain power for androids
Hi guys just to share here. Base on the specs it looks good and I think this is the best of the best China made phone Copy looking at the written specs. It claim to use Exynos 4412
IKHC N2 G901 comes with single sim with quadcore 1.6ghz with 1 gb ram with higher resolution 1280x720

IHKC N2 G902 comes with dual sim with quadcore 1.6ghz with 1.5 gb ram with resolution 960x540

Anyone dare to order and review it......
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?
Sorry if I am posting to the wrong place.

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.

Hi my frieSnd I write from Colombia , I think buying the Sansung Galaxy Neo Duos , tell me all about this phone.
Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 16GB
CPU / Procesador Samsung Exynos 4412 / ARM Cortex-A9 MPcore
Clock Procesador / QUAD CORE 1400Mhz 32bits Quad-Core
Memory RAM 1GB LPDDR2
GPU ARM Mali-400
Samsung I9300I Galaxy S3 Neo
Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo Duos GT-i9300i
CPU / Processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 MSM8228 / ARM Cortex-A7
Clock Processor/ 1400Mhz 32bits Quad-Core
Memory RAM 1,5GB LPDDR2
GPU Qualcomm Adreno 305
Is better the S3 neo than S3 International?
Has better performance S3 neo than S3· international?
Is better the processor the S3 neo than S3 international?
How is about the duration of the battery?
How is about the camera? Take good pictures of day and night?
Has lag the dialer?
It is fluid? it is very fast with Android 4,3?
How is the screen? is bright? what about the colors?
Thanks you.
Most of the changes in the neo compared to original I believe are under-the-hood changes.The neo is better in the sense that its CPU and GPU are newer, more powerful than the original and along with more RAM, you'd have a pretty powerful phone. The clock speed on the neo I think is actually 1.2ghz compared to the 1.4ghz on the original(shouldn't make too much of a difference). As far as I know the camera, screen and battery are all the same on both devices. Camera 8mp (don't think they changed the sensor), screen 720pHD super amoled on both and 2100mah battery on both too.
1. S3 neo is better spec wise.
2. Not sure I don't have a s3 neo but I guess performance "should" be better.
3. Processor is better - newer but has lower clock speed.
4.battery is good from what I've seen in reviews
5. Camera excellent during the day, okay at night
Jellybean is generally smooth, but better when you root and remove bloatware.
However, the s3 international has plenty more support on xda with many custom Roms/kernels than the neo does.
