you are not kidding. im waiting and waiting for the benchmarks from it.

It should be identical to the international version. Additional RAM doesn't really change anything in overall performance outside of multitasking

it can potentially make a very big difference in heavy processor and GPU intensive gaming as well. Im not a heavy gamer, but I get all warm n squishy over massive benchmarks.

Ever see a PC running vista with 1 gig of ram? It sucks. Putting in 2 gigs of ram makes it run smooth as butter (but you really need 4 for best performance.. vista sucks.. lol). Bad analogy for sure, but it can still make a big difference. Also, it future proofs it even that much better.

I disagree... That was a great analogy!!!

Take that Apple iphone!! your dominating days are numbered!!

6. speckledapple posted on 10 Jul 2012, 11:44 2

the iPhone is not as dominating as it is unique in how its presented. Samsung has carved its own niche by being unique in how its presented. Windows Phone is doing the same thing. Blackberry is still very unique in its presentation regardless of lost marketshare. Domination is not the idea, its offering a unique product presented uniquely.

Samsung is an entity on its own. I think this is a great thing as the more companies that perform in such a way the better competition will be. As a headliner, they command a market. Second fiddle players like Motorola, HTC, LG, etc all have work to do though HTC and its recent offerings are magnificent. It will be interesting to see where android is over the next five years.

I cant stand apple. Everything about them pisses me off. Special connectors, forced to use there software, they sue everyone, etc... I was watching a video online from a company like cnet or something and they called the iphones a overpriced entry level smartphone for kids and i laughed so hard.

In that photo, that is the kpop group sistar advertising the samsung galaxy s 3. Sistar please dance ma boy while holding the s3, then I would be more than convinced to buy one(that's a good marketing strategy). Check out sistar's ma boy here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6XXia5B2Wg Are you more than convinced to buy one too if they're holding those phones?

Will the Korean version work internationally with networks? Or will it only work in Korea?
