Collective sigh of relief. Is Verizon still Bing'n up any phones? Haven't heard anything about it in a while. I'd actually forgotten completely til now.

i don't think they are, it just always seems to come to my mind when i think of Verizon Galaxy S.

- It still pentile, but slightly different in design and larger than the gNEX
- It's the camera sensor found in the iPhone 4S, which is one of the best.
- It's not going to be eclipsed by anything anytime soon, performance wise

I think you just feel the need to complain. You'll probably never be happy with any device.

I am still suprised that most people are satisfied with the specs. All the specs on the US version are available on other phones. & with the screen being bigger than the nexus, it will have a lower ppi & pentile will be more noticeable. &The iphone4S has been out since last fall. The new iphone will have a better camera that will most likely eclipse the sglll. The S4 processor is in several other phones. & Many upcoming phones will be sporting more powerful processors. The same goes for the 1 gig of ram, that will have 2 power S voice, and eye tracking software. But I think the international version is the best smartphone out right now. However, if people were not so easily satisfied, oems would be forced 2 offer better specs. Like for instance, the Japanese & Canadian versions getting 2gigs of ram, while the US version only gets 1. Thats BS.

its not just about specs but how all the specs work together along with the os...if you read many s3 vs reviews the s3 is always smoother and faster even with phones with same or similar spec...example the one x has quad etc and is great phone but still has slight lags here and there...watch pocketnow review and you will see it...as samsung make most of the components in house they can taylor the hardware along with the os which gives them an advantage when it comes to performance...

@ taz89 I agree. But think they should have at least given the US version more ram. Like the Japanese & Canadian versions.

the s4 is using the a15 processors, which you just spoke up to...dont contradict yourself if you are making an argument

WOW what an idiot!!!! the S4 is not a15

9. KingKurogiii posted on 03 Jun 2012, 01:35 2 0

and they're not A9s either. Krait is not an actual ARM architecture but a licensed A15 "equivalent"

Who can belive in Qualcomm? In 2010, Qc realeased dual-core S3 SoCs and used "1.2 Ghz clock rate and dual-core" gimmick to lead pepple think that their crap is the best.
Now Qc uses smth similar "Cortex A15 simirlarly" or "Cortex A15 equivalent", but except Linpack benchmark, I cannot see any huge leap in performance compared to Cortex A9.

"A15 equivilant" is a marketing gimmick. They are "on par" with a die shrunk A9 quad core. Put in perspective, that means they are slightly stronger than a 32nm A9 dual core. So they are right in the middle somewhere. It can dance with the T3 quad, but it can not dance with the Exynos quad which is the current king of the hill by a good margin.

I am really itching to see just how the tmobile variant stacks up against the international variant. Thats going to seal the deal for me if I get one or not. Not excited by the S4 at all, but if it can run on par with the international version with the memory tweaks i think they are going to make, then ill hold my nose n buy it.

Sounds like your an apple fan boy where nothing but incremental updates reign supreme..

I completely agree with you; with that hardware I'd rather have a Galaxy Note on Verizon. But, undoubtedly, the GSIII should outsell any other model this year including the tiniest of smartphones that sport a 3.5" screen. And, unlike, Verizon's last Galaxy release, this will support upto a 64GB removable memory card.

So, congrats to all; unless you're stuck with a 3.5" screen.

the galaxy note on verizon is going to be using the craptastic S3 crapdragon. Why in the world would u want that over the S4. The S4 still has around a 40-50% power increase from the S3.

Because I'm a big ole' "Size-K ing" and I need all 5.3 inches. At this point, I'm buying out-of-pocket so: the bigger, the better cuz' size does matter. As long as it's big and fast (and, not a "reversed 5.3").

just get a Tablet like the Galaxy Tab 7 (2.0) for $200 or something and get an actual good phone like the Droid Razr MAXX or the SIII when it comes out on Verizon. you get more value for your buck like that.

You must be new here.

But you're right.

Arguing about our opinions that have little to no basis in fact is what makes the internet fun.

I'm not knew here, and I know it always goes on, but I mean at some point it gets kind of old and pointless. It's fun reading how people argue, but not when it's everywhere and the same exact thing lol.

Did you miss the bold type that said that each major carrier is getting it? It's right in the article, I promise.
