How big of a deal is 2gb of RAM for a phone? I haven't committed to pre-ordering the GS3 yet with Verizon. My Asus Prime has only 1gb RAM and runs great. Need to see a hands on for the U.S. version first. Because without the RAM, the only benefit compared to other Verizon handsets would be the Adreno 225.

What bothers me about the U.S. version is that they have said the quad was swapped for the dual core for because of LTE support. But why is Korea getting the quad core version with 2gb RAM AND LTE?

If GS3 comes with a S4 Snapdragon dual core in US will it b a hit? Cuz htc has already provided dat nd with a better feel nd design. And who will go for a 4.8 in display without quad core ticking inside it? Im worrid.

I just chose this name because I was crazy over MeeGo (my username used to be MeeGo Revolution) but when Nokia pushed that awesome OS to the backburner, I jad to change my Username because I lost alot of respect for Nokia. Then I heard that Intel was partnering with Samsung with Tizen and seeing as how Tizen basically is a HTML5 MeeGo, I should like it too. I know it's going to be bare bones at launch but a 100% linux OS is a dream for me. Especially since I'm an App Developer and I play with OS Source Code every now and then too.

Soon there is going to be Quad-core S4 with Andreno 320 GPU with a power that dominates all. I wonder how it effects the battery though.

I just didn't like your way to answer to some valid arguments he had with a "didn't read lolololol". Anyway I guess I took it a little bit too personal and I apologize for that. Btw, with the Tizen takeover thing, I saw yesterday the video of the Tizen based tab with ported Android apps. So sweet. Have a nice day too dude.

And how do you know that the iPhone 5 will beat it while its not even announced yet? There are only rumours which might not even be true.
And please, take some spelling lessons, I can't stand it ( I know people make mistakes, but this is just terrible)

Tizen Takeover, 15 May 2012didn't read lololololVery mature from you Tizen takeover, your mummy should keep an eye on you and keep you out of adult discussion forums. Coming back to the article, it will be interesting to see how the SIII will differentiate itself from AT&T's One X using a similar chipset and GPU.

I think Samsung use the overclocked Adreno 225 for this phone, the clock speed is somewhere around 300-400 mhz. While the One S is using the original (266mhz) Adreno 225.
Btw, I don't think that Mali-400 MPx is really better than ULP GeForce 2. I don't have this device but I read somewhere that Transformer Prime scored near 60 fps in nenamark 2 with 800x1280 screen.

Interesting points here. A dualcore that can run with a quadcore, a gpu that can pump out more fps than can be utilized, and an SoC that can't handle the dreaded LTE radio.
We have officially gotten ahead of ourselves. Haven't we, Android OEMs?
Why don't we relax a bit and let Google catch up, optimize everything for 4 cores and get 3rd parties on track too.
I Feel like I'm taking Crazy Pills!!!

And now you say that number of CPU core doesn't count but MP okay to count? I think this called hypocrisy?
Although professional cameras and Hollywood don't use high MP cameras and you didn't answer that because you know that MP isn't everything even Nokia themselves in N9 intro said what counts Ziess=Lens and sensors.

You better be on the news like those guys who lined up to buy Phones, Go and buy PureView 808 if you think dual and quad core are not count? 808 has single core why don't you buy it? Or you just want some attraction to your comments?
People buy computers with latest CPU technology and i never saw someone buys a camera for highest MP except people whom ignorant in that field.
And what with Tizen takeover? Either "Tizen takeovers" or "Tizen will takeover", In both cases proved you don't know anything about cellular phones because how did you judge Tizen and you still didn't use it? And still not Tizan phone released yet!
About the dual krait vs quad

You can see Krait a bit laggy when move very fast and Adreno doesn't show so much details like the smock in ShadowGun ===> The video maker said those things
Also you can see on Samsung Epic single core overclocked it gave over 3260

Benchmarks isn't reliable in some cases you can altered it with some tweaks what its count is real life use.
I think Qualcomm found a loophole in Benchmarks.

Maybe it's just me..but I'll probably get the S3 not based on the technology, but based on the extra features it has that I don't have coming from a Moto Droid X. For starters the camera loads in practically the blink of an eye whereas my camera loads in 3 to 5 seconds depending on the day (or not at all as it did today when it crashed repeatedly). I also would love the 50 gigs of dropbox storage, expandable memory, removable battery, brilliant screen, ICS, dual core processor, and more than my 1/2 gig of RAM, and (most importantly) the LTE!. Honestly, even if the S3 isn't that impressive to all of you who buy a new phone every 6 months, it's quite honestly going to blow me away when I use it.

I concur with the other commentators. The S4 are generationally A15 to Sammy's newer smaller nm yet still A9 Exynos quad that comes with an OC'ed same Mali 400MP. And the other guy is also right. Benchies are meaningless until ppl start complaining about the earlier batch of quad core optimized apps.
Here's a newsflash:- Quad core PCs (that means laptops included for dummies) are still relatively useless save for those with hardcore gaming and overclocking tendencies. If you're not 1 of these groups, trust me you won't be able to tell the diff and you shouldn't worry. Your real world usage scenario simply do not require quad power.
Recognize however that the SIII at least furthered the OS' UI and features' aspect. I think that's what Sammy's trying to push this time. Not so much on HW extravaganza. On that end imo the S4 SIII are the best S4 superphone paired with a 2kmAh batt so far.

What is with this quad core thing ha? I used the One x and S2 parallel for about 4 hours n both loaded pages at the same pace. Played Asphalt 6 n didnt see any diff. So I think a dual core phone is enough for atleast another 2 yrs.
