After reading that, I'm still confused. Are we going to get a dumb downed dual core, or the quad core version?

i'm using the one x as my personal phone and the s3 as my work phone right now. i think i still like my one x more. spec wise it's similar but i like my one x super lcd 2 screen more. but the s3 is really comfy to hold because it's so fun =\ grrr.. and we were always getting the dual core in north america.. so i dunno where you get the idea we are getting a quad core.... there's nothing out there really that needs the LTE... but at the same time there's nothing out there that really needs the quad core... so honestly i think the dual core with 2gb of ram is better than the quad core with 1gb of ram..

unless you are getting the korean LTE version, which is going to be quad core + LTE chip + 2gb ram.

unless you need to load a 30 minutes HD porn in seconds. My current plan is said to be up to 21Mbps, never able to use it all.
It's true, you may not need LTE, but browsing with LTE is THAT much faster. Loads everything in half the time. Your advertised 21Mbps probably only gets around 3-8Mbps dowload speed on average, but with LTE I get on average 20-30Mbps. Even faster than my wifi which is only 15-20Mbps! I've even gotten up to 55Mbps along Broadway. You gotta try it for yourself to understand!

yeah it's much more likely to hit 1GB RAM bottleneck before dual-core bottleneck

can't believe they haven't figured out how to incorporate LTE with the exynos chip yet

Time constraints. Release asap then add in support later. The same issue with Tegra3

The current standalone LTE chip eats up so much battery life and slower.
and yeah, 2gb ram will be much better than, you can overclock the cpu, but can't stretch the ram.

I dunno much about Android, but when you load a custom launcher, can u select only some stuff like the lockscreen?

I LOVE the lockscreen and look of the sharp feel ux


But the lack of homescreens is a turn off

Can I get someone impression on the quadcore version over the dual core 2gb ram?
I'm mostly video gaming oriented and want to know about multitasking the phone without It lagging or freezing on me.

both phones are fine
the LTE dualcore is just as quick as the quadcore with the ram

Though i cant say for games side by side
i ahve seen everything but 3D gaming side by side.

Temple Run runs fine in both versions
