Only in Japan: Samsung Galaxy S III runs at 1.6GHz and comes with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
After Softbank yesterday, now NTT DoCoMo, Japan’s biggest carrier, announces its 2012 winter lineup including awesome devices like the Samsung Galaxy S III with a 1.6GHz Exynos chip and the Galaxy Note II.

And what’s interesting here is the fact that the Galaxy S III in Japan with its 1.6GHz clock speed runs faster than the international version of the handset or the U.S. models, clocked at 1.4GHz. The device is launching in a gorgeous grey and black colors. So bottomline is that the S III will be slightly faster in Japan, and not only that, but it is launching with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on board.

The Galaxy Note II on its part also runs at 1.6GHz, but that’s the same frequency as all other versions, so no differences here.

You can take a look at the grey Galaxy S III running at 1.6GHz on the picture below.

Mini Note. Any bump in RAM? That would make it a true Mini Note (without the stylus).

Exynos 4 has a max frequency of 1.6 GHz I think

I think it's the same as Note 2 with 2GB RAM and higher GPU clockrate.

It's the CPU which is overclocked not Gpu!

You can also over-clock the GPU in settings on SetCpu.

im curious
with the rise of Korean giants, are the very respected and acclaimed Japanese electronics firms lagging behind? far behind ?
On the mobile front, very few names most predominant of which SONY comes to mind

Why does the UI look completely different from the one from the Note II and GS3 in Korea?

I think it is an conspiracy to distract the japanese otakus and cede dokdo to s.korea.

Is there a term for the phone manufacturers releasing phones under the same name but with wildly different specs? The only term I can think of is NUTS!
