Nice. I tried telling an AT&T rep that ill be available this summer and he kept saying no itll be next year.. Pretty sad when a common John knows more than a "committed, seasoned rep"

And also even told him that it would be dumb-downed to dual core and he insisted quad core.. Smh. Maybe ill apply for a job there and take all of his customers haha.

Not dumbed down. Nothing wrong with dual core with superior architecture

I just checked out the specs on PhoneArena .. impressive .. 4.8" 720 .. 32GB built-in WITH (and I must bold that WITH since the HTC One X doesn't have) .. microSDHC/XC support to 64GB more .. wahoooooo
However, in the radio information .. doesn't state anything about LTE !!!
http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-AT-T_id7131
EDIT: whoops .. it states it in the description about the phone in regards to LTE support. Wonder why they didn't list in it the frequency listings !!

Hopefully AT&T follows suit with the others and announces the June 21st release.

Honestly seems a bit weak for a such a huge release for AT&T... Not only did they cut the quad and went with a dual core processor for LTE, they also cut the internal storage. Sure, the processor has better architecture and has more ram, but worth it...? I wouldn't entirely think so.

Thought Gorilla Glass was damn-near indestructible? Remember them doing similar drop tests with the original GSII and the screen didn't crack at all...

Because right now the quad core is not LTE friendly.

Seems the iPhone 5 is only running at 1.02Ghz.

The iphone 5 dual core is faster than our quadcore. Search for new benchmarks in google -.-
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

If it's not fake then good work for the benchmark until Jellybean for S3 arrives
http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/1026099
Still S3 outperforms Iphone5 :good:
And Iphone 5 will only use that for the gaming applications because their homescreen is so basic (No widgets and true multitasking), so to summarize it's still a useless upgrade.. I'd rather buy a Ps vita/nintendo DS for gaming if the main focus of apple products is to improve the hardware for gaming.

4 Cores at 1.4Ghz should win out over 2 Cores at 1Ghz. But by a lot more than that.

The only thing that pulls the iPhone 5 benchmark scores higher is memory bandwidth.... The s3's cpu scores substantially higher.

If it's only an ARM v7 then it can't outperform ours because ours are ARM v9's (international s3's dunno about American etc)

Oppo Find 5. Best android phone yet?

No Oppo section so I though I'd post here. Seen it in another forum and just blatantly copied the text so I don't have to rewrite my self.
Specs are as follows:
Android 4.1 Jellybean
5-inch 1920x1080 Display (441 PPI)
Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 Processor (Easily beats the Exynos 4412 in the Galaxy S III and Tegra 3 in the HTC One X)
2GB of RAM
12 Megapixel Camera
16 or 32GB of storage + MicroSD Card slot
2500 mAh Battery
This will probably interest a lot of current Note users

Meh.... No Oppo section so I thought I'd post in here since I am an s3 user and s3 is top of the line at the moment, so it'll be good to compare to it.

Its only rumors as of now ..

Comparison or not, this isn't the place for discussions of other devices.

yeah that phone is beast, but think about this, LG Optimus 2X was the same beast phone two years ago, first dualcore processor, and great screen.. LG talked about it for a year, by the time they actually released it, all the phones were dualcore..
I think by the time they actually release this phone, Samsung, will have their own 1080p 5'' phone aswell

Nexus 4-5

I will get my nexus 4 in summer, maybe may or June, so should I wait for the n5 or just stick with the n4 ?
And isn't the hardware on the n4 is going to do great handling any apps or games without any problems for a few years ? I mean it's the best out there I think...
1 last thing what about the back glass cover does it crack easily? Even if I bought a grab or sth?

Give him a break guys, he's using the xda app and obviously there isn't a search button. And it would have been easier to just answer him than try to be a mean mum.
To OP: You wouldn't regret getting a Nexus 4 mate. The hardware would undoubtedly be outdated in a few years, but it certainly won't fall behind by that much. And you wouldn't feel too far behind from new android versions since this is a nexus.
The glass I think is fragile but putting a case on the back would definitely protect it. But temperature changes (sudden ones) are rumored to affect the glass and cause them to spontaneously break without producing splinters. Based on the data though, one can assume that only a few units are affected by this condition (mine too, unfortunately )
Anyways, it's your decision. If you think you can wait, then get the 5, but if your hands are itchy and want to get a sexy device, get the n4
In my opinion though, wait till june. If the nexus 5 launches and you don't like it, then get the 4, if you do though, then obviously get the nexus 5.

Im getting pissed off of people whining about using the search button rather than just answering. If everyone just used the search button you would quickly have a dead community.

I'd say hold out for the N5 if it were to be released around May. I doubt that since the N4 was released just a few months ago. Better yet, wait for that Moto X phone..

Exactly and also it mentions tegra 4? That outdated piece of garbage. Qualcomm is currently the best chip. Agreed tegra has better gaming performance but overall Qualcomm blows away tegra.
Anyway there won't be another nexus coming till October. May be they will have a Moto X phone or something but not nexus. That happens once a year during holidays.

I mean, what is the point if not to simply wait 6 months and then do it. Price will be lower etc.. at least that... At the end, you have a great piece of smartphone which is doing fine, like now
ps: looking forward to see the price tag on S4 and then the next Note. Christmas discounts beats them all at the end... and then, it's each to his own Comming from SGS II I skipped S III as it was flawed, no leap, no nothing IMO. Saw S IV might give the boost, but still I doubt seen CM Dev's are turning their back at it... Dunno, I must evaluate, but no S iV Mini is a true upgrade option for me...

I hate Nexus 4's display. so much blue. the dark black is bluish (blue-ish). And the display is not calibrated and again what I hate about Nexus phones is the camera is bad. Although the phone is very fast and I love the pure stock Google's Android experience!
and by the way, how much the Nexus 4 priced in your country? mine is $500, I'm in Indonesia.. SO EXPENSIVE!!
