Obviously we are all waiting for the Note 4, yet it's Pricey.
Now comes the hard question.
Which one to buy ? and
Which will the Dev support ? (Future Proofing)
N910C or N910S
Snapdragon over Exynos
We all saw it in the S4 between the 9505 and 9500 so I don't want to get stuck in the same loop.
Please advise at the earliest since all the articles on the Web refer to Chip variants and differences yet no one has a solid answer to which will be supported and would be considered as a real investment. I hear the Exynos is benchmarked with 40K therefore exceeding our favorite Snapdragon chip !?
That makes it even worse to decide
International version is snapdragon if u care about custom stuff go for it.

Kinda. There's now multiple international versions and some are Exynos (some of Europe, Aus, NZ, HK and Korea)

I think the exynos version(s) this time around may prove to be a bit more popular because the believe (uncertain) that the 5433 will run 64bit (future proofing).

Tough to say, All of the USA market will have snapdragon, as will many other countries. That means there will be a greater percentage of "market share" of the S805 version with a better chance of having dev support on it.

hahaha that's so true. Snap will have better dev support and GPU while the exynos MIGHT be 64bit enabled anytime soon and is definitely faster, but still not sure of how faster in daily use. Now it's up to you and wait for more information to come. For now, that's about it.

you give me far too much credit, i port recoveries and do minor things. bootloader exploits are beyond my scope of even understanding how many actually work.
The Exynos model should be faster, better on battery, and possibly offer 64-bit down the road. I'm going with that one.

I don;t think the G2 will be the replacement of my N1. According to all the articles that I've read, they say it will be a 800MHz (only speculations at this time) processor and not a +1GHz. If this is true, then I'll wait for the N2.

This phone will not have anything past 1ghz snapdragons we all know as of right now. The new line isn't coming until the end of the year.
I think I might give up my nexi, I've been dying for a keyboard phone comparable to the nexus one. This may be it.
Not me. I rooted mine when the 1-click root app came out and it gave me more reasons to keep mine. I love it even more! I can't believe i thought of replacing it.

This is one of those cases where MHz won't matter one bit. The chip has a whole bunch of new features not found on the N1, including many hardware multimedia accelerators. Plus, you really won't notice much of a different with just a 200MHz drop.
With a faster radio, more memory and better hardware acceleration, the CPU speed becomes less important.
I'll upgrade if it offers speedy HD video, HDMI out and more memory as those are the things I'm missing on my N1.
The phone will have the scorpion chip set which equivalent too the snapdragon, but with a better cpu and wvga screen

It's going to be hard for me to give my Nexus up as well. I'm still trying to weigh my options on whether I should just go ahead and get the G2 or keep my N1. If the screen size is not 4.3" I will be keeping my Nexus until a 4.3" T-Mobile Android deice come out.

I'm still waiting for a 1.3-1.5 GHz phone before replacing my Nexus.
Honestly, im waitng for the next Dev phone, personally the mod community on the Nexus One is far superior to anything it could be on any other phone. So i'll wait, im not a slide out keyboard guy anyway. Google tends to release a new "dev" phone for each major release:
G1 - 1.0 &1.5
MT3G - 1.6 (i think)
Droid -2.0
Nexus One -2.1 & 2.2

samsung is holding an event on the 16th to show off the media hub on the galaxy s phones and to show off some new models. I'd expect them to make an official announcement then since they've been rather quiet recently.
Some tmo rep said the same thing. End of this month. He also had to mention the g2 end of this month too. Kinda wondered should have I waited

eh, the G2 isn't much of an upgrade over the slide so I'd say you made the right choice.
Well with verizon's version of the galaxy s out, i think there is nothing to hold a massive upgrade to all versions back.
given that the tab is going to be running froyo real soon, the galaxy s phones shouldn't be that far behind. in fact, i think they should get the update first, but hey, what do i know
is this the latest update we'll get? will we be getting 3.0?

considering the number of devices sold, we'll probably get 3.0
Gingerbread would be great and a good pr move on the part of samsung. My expectation is low though simply because they will want people to buy new phones. Gingerbread will be an easy upgrade too because out would be vanilla with touchwiz and widgets being addons. The Tab has similar hardware and it may get it, making a custom ROM likely.

Last I checked, Samsung hasn't actually offered a phone to 100 carriers around the planet, including all 4 US national carriers.
As long as a single large American carrier demands the next version of Android, we ALL will get it.
I don't see the connection between froyo and the gps fix. If it was an android fix then we should have a fix already, I expect it is firmware based.

mmmm popcorn.... mmmm (visits microwave...)
anyone whining bout the gps fix needs to check out rooting and flashing eugenes vibrant 9 rom, ive made this comment like 15 times buuuuuut. i get a lock within 10meters in only 10 seconds with the gps on and the cell tower assist feature on. no nead to play around in Lbstestmode menus just turn on location settings in the menu open maps and find "my location"... and this is inside my apartment....
I cant wait for ALL the bonuses in 2.2 like flash and included wifi tethering but do we really need to make a million threads about it??? lol
I just got the tmobile version of this phone today through work to try out for a couple of months. If there is anything I can check out on it to get you guys more info let me know.

Benchmarks, battery life, and usability. My only question is how does the S4 perform vs Exynos in the GS3 and whether there is any improvement over battery life/usability w/ the chipset and extra ram. I would trade raw power for better battery and potentially better app performance.
Do you work for Tmobile or something? How is it that you got to test one out? And is this the U.S. version? I would be interested to know if the U.S. versions really do have 2gb of ram. And also if it also has the Wolfson audio DAC like the international version.

Sweeet, lucky! Questions:
- what color is yours?
- is the only T-Mob branding on the back cover?
- how's the battery?
- can you test out some graphic intense games, how do they run?
- does the pop-out video function run smoothly while multi-tasking?
- how many apps can you open up before things noticeably get laggy?
So excited for the US launch!
If the T-Mobile Galaxy S III is carrier unlocked can you test to see if this works with the other major GSM provider like AT&T for 3G/HSPA+?
Earlier it was reported that from the Engadget & The Verge that FCC report had the T-Mo version capable of running both T-Mobile and 1900 band of AT&T.
Thanks in advance!
Can you help me get one? lulz.
Do you have the firmware in TAR format?
I need it badly. I have the same unit as yours.
If you can even give me the stock kernel, it would help to start.
May be my problem is the kernel....

Well, that's a new one. I thought most people here bought the i9500 because it was the only one sold in their countries, but I guess some actually willingly expose themselves to the utter torture of owning an exynos device, knowing the low dev support it has and will continue to have.
Porting something from a Qcomm device to exynos won't be easy, if possible at all. You'll have to wait until CM publishes a nightly for the i9500........whenever that happens....

Yes this is really annoying to be forced to buy the model that Samsung decides to sell in each country. But geeks can always buy the version they want...if they really want ! Most of us have friends in another countries or know people who travel a lot. However, in this case, we cannot benefit from plans nor warranties...

I changed the launcher to a simpler one, removed the heavy bloatware pack and that's perfect for me.
Note: I am not any fan of some Google "bloatware" that are also present in there rom!
