P.S Our C105 is not in the list.

On the list, not on the list. Not much difference when it comes to this device really.
Maybe now or thn Samsung will build for c105 too, and it will surely make a difference, everyone needs a update.

I recently bought the S4 Zoom in my country for less than $300. Brand new.
And the model is SM-C105 not SM-C101 that sold in my country.
Having a Nexus 5 with Lollipop already, I can see LOTS improvement if this gets updated to Lollipop.. Problem is, this device didn't sell very well, hence why Samsung is dropping out support for this baby.. Hope I'm wrong.

I'm in a dilemma in whether if I should buy the international version with the superior performing Exynos, or the US version with Snapdragon S4 with LTE. Although I've heard that one cannot really notice the performance difference in every day uses, I would like to go for the device with the best compatibility with the biggest development community. Please vote on which one would you be consider getting, as of now before either devices are released.
Please do NOT call yourself a developer unless you are capable of creating low level releases such as kernels and ROM. App developers and people who thinks they knows a lot about technology doesn't count.
its a little too soon to tell. i am still not totally convinced that the us is going to be stuck with the krait. att for one might work it with the exynos (you should change the tegra3 before you get pounced)... that is of course if the rumors are true that bell canada is gonna do lte with the quad.
personally i dont need lte and it is doubtful that att will have lte in nashville before my yearly upgrade. so i definitely want the quad core chip that samsung designed the phone around vs the krait that wasnt.

lots of acronyms and proprietary names running around through our heads right now. decisions decisions.
ive got an itch to run and get the hox. but i cant until i know what gs3 att is going to get... and when. i sure would love to take the hox for a 29 day spin b4 i buy samsungs latest version of goodness.
USA version chimes with exynos. It's the same that Rogers is getting. Atleast Att will get it.

AT&T will find a way to ruin the phone. There is no way in hell i'm getting a tainted version
will Samsung sell the unlocked version here in the USA?
International for me no brainer. It will already be unlocked, will get the most developers and Cyanogenmod soonest, generally better resale value (of course, I don't get the subsidies, but I don't have to sign a contract either).
I won't feel too bad if I found out the American version with S4 chip would be faster or at least have better battery life.

nope. the carriers will not allow it. there is always amazon and ebay.
International version is not an option for me (no GSM coverage) so I have to wait for Sprint/Verizon to launch it. I am not happy about that
International version - I live in Europe...
I'm upset though that I'll have to wait a bit longer for the 32GB version as it won't be available in my country right away (or it will be overpriced)
Sometimes living in Central Europe sucks

It appears to be the international version since the model number shown is GT-I9300

International doesn't mean it's for a country other than your own, it means that it's for multiple countries.
Thus, it's the international.
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

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 .

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

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

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
