              I am still getting the taste of SAMSUNG galaxy S3 only bought it some 4 month back and already Galaxy S4 is on the line, WOOW. Seems like I have to start planning to get that device too.
              Technology is changing really fast. I am dreaming to have more slim and a new concept design for Galaxy SIV. SAMSUNG always amazed us and with SIV I am thinking they will come up with new kind of battery also. Battery is still old "Li-Ion" type a new source of power line is needed. Fingers crossed all eye on upcoming news.

                  AnonD-10940, 20 Nov 2012Wow but Samsung really needs a good Chipset as Snapdragon h... moreExynos is way better than Snapdragon.
                  Even the old A9 is better than A15 S4.

                  Check for the comparison videos of S3 International vs S3 US and One S.

                    for me, the meaning of "smartphones" is the phones made by samsung... rest all looks nothing compared to it... yet another proof... m addicted to or obsessed by samsung....

                        Wow but Samsung really needs a good Chipset as Snapdragon has now become best but the thing is snapdragon processor phones lack SD Card or Removable batt so for devlopment of android chipsets like exynos and Omap are needed and with this much of processing power it would ROCK!!

                          Anonymous, 20 Nov 2012I would swap all of that just for a battery that will last ... moreI bet you didn't even read the article.

                          The main aim of 4 low powered cores is for BATTERY EFFICIENCY and 4 powerful cores for powerful processing apps like games.So that makes 8 cores efficient than 4 cores , right ?

                                I have Note II and i charge it once weekly if you put the phone on Saving power mode... But if you want to play HD Games you have to disable Saving power mode.

                                      I'm pretty sure my S3 doesn't maximise the quad core so is there any need for that amount?
