The next awaited phone that is expected to bridge the price gap between Galaxy S and Galaxy S II gets its first preview.
Have a look at complete specs and details here:
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9103_galaxy_z-review-614.php
source:GSM Arena
My Galaxy R GT i9103 has 768MB RAM, but advertised as 1GB RAM. Does it mean the other 200+MB goes for GPU?
Does the 2GB ROM counts in the advertised 8GB storage?
Wikipedia and GSMarena says 1.2GHz processor advertised, but benchmarking apps and nvidia website shows 1Ghz. Which is true? Sorry for such a basic inquiry, still be happ to get some answer.
my gt-i9103 only724MB
it use 1G cpu for ndiva terget2 dual core
why haven't find device for samsung galaxy R in this website
its so cold?

An unexpected type of shootout between completely different products, but fun to read anyways. Not prefect since it is done on paper specs and not actual hardware:
http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/38491/lg-optimus-vs-nintendo-3ds
Bad review , author has no idea what he is talking about , this phone does not have 4 gigs of RAM. It has 8 gigs of internal storage SSD and 512 MB of RAM.
Winner: LG Optimus 3D1GHz Dual-Core OMAP4, 4GB RAM, SGX540 GPU (LP DDR2)loser: Nintendo 3DS2x 266MHz ARM11 processors, 64MB RAM, PICA200 GPU

It also plays host to a whopping 4GB of RAM which should be plenty for coping with all of the phone's basic functions as well as the 3D visuals

Does this device really have the SGX540? The same GPU as the Galaxy S?
If it does, wouldn't that mean that there really won't be much improvement over the Galaxy S for single-threaded applications(seeing as, besides the 3D-ness and extra core, the specs are quite similar)? Are most Android apps/games/emulators/N64oid single-threaded?

The omap 4 is paired with an overclocked version of the sgx. If you check a thread on smartphonebenchmarks.com it will show the comparisons for the 2 different phones. As of now the overclocked version doesn't make a big difference until newer games are released that require more power. It gives the phone more life in terms of hardware . I would link but my g1 doesn't have the ram to save the state my apps are in. The g1 requires a full restart of apps which is inconvenient.

long time since last leak. wonder what changes is done in this version
i think we have to wait some months untill a good fw like darky's 8.0 + speedmod kernel
samfirmware said "do not flash i9003 rom on i9000"
Am I the only one who read rules, only one who notices its for DIFFERENT PHONE and only one to understand it should be posted in nexus forum?
opps, I had missed out that part "DO NOT FLASH I9003 ROMS ON I9000", so excited while spotted new fw release....
why they posted it in i9000 firmwares ?
YEAH!!!
Check the launch site:
http://mea.samsungmobile.com/ENG/mobile-phones/samsung-i9003-galaxy-sl
I see all the same.
Except the "super-clear" LCD. Really? Super Amoled - Super clear LCD?
Enjoy the best viewing experience with 4 inch SUPER CLEAR LCD display. You can watch your favourite content in broad daylight and enjoy a crisp, clear picture.

All the other stuff is the same asi in i9000.
Did you found something else?
they replaced the SAMOLED with SLCD
That's what samfirmware posted about it:
The existence of Super Clear LCD in Galaxy S’ new variant I9003, has now been confirmed.
Thanks to listing on Samsung’s website, we now have an official confirmation that the GT-I9003 will be known as Galaxy SL and features a 4-inch Super Clear LCD (WVGA) and a higher capacity 1650mAh battery, like the Galaxy S 4G. A bigger battery has also made the Galaxy SL a bit thick, which is 10.59mm as compared to I9000’s 9.9mm and heavier than the Super AMOLED variant by 12g.
Rest of the features remain the same.

There's a massive difference. According to GSMArena, the new phone has 478 MB of RAM available to the user. Now that would be nice to have.

Does this mean what I think it means? That our original galaxy S never had 512MB of RAM? Either that or the I9003 has more than 512MB RAM.

It was had been discussed many times: Samsung Galaxy S do have 512 mb ram but shows only 339, and those of Samsung devices which show more (like Tab), just have more (640 mb) physical ram.

You miss the point entirely. The I9003 Galaxy SL is listed as having the same 512 MB RAM. So why does it have 478MB of user accessible RAM.
One explanation could be that the Humming bird requires more dedicated RAM (hence not accessilble to the user) while the other CPU's dont. That will also explain why the nexus S (again 512MB RAM and hummmingbird processor) has only 339MB user accessible memory
You miss the point entirely.

And so is Galaxy Tab. Advertised as 512 mb, in fact has 640 mb.
this is a downgrade.. read the review on gsmarena.
they are switching to slcd because hey dont have enough supply of super amoled and need them for other customers and new galaxy s2.. but they still want to keep selling a version of this phone.
the phone is also heavier and thicker.. with a slightly larger battery to make up for the poorer performance of the different led.

OK, got your point. But why would a manufacturer specify less than Actual RAM for any device. If a phone actually has 640MB of RAM. Isnt it bad advertising. I would be more inlclined to buy a phone if if it has 640 MB RAM
This phone makes no sense,it uses a ti omap 3630+SGX530 SoC instead of the usual hummingbird and SGX540. I see no reason why it should be called a "galaxy s" phone as it seems to share nothing other than the body design.Why no hummingbird, isn't the 530 a downgrade in comparison to the 540 gpu?
source:-
GSMarena review ( cant post links yet)
The CPU is different as well. It comes with a 1GHz TI OMAP 3630 instead of a Hummingbird CPU.

The I9003 SL is merely a way to make sure there will be AMOLED panels for the Galaxy S2 without the need to discontinue the original Galaxy S altogether.

Shoot me if Im wrong but the difference in user available RAM doesnt depend on the the cpu but on the separate GPU. I suspect that the gtx540 (contra the gtx530) uses dedicated and a portion of shared RAM just like many computer GPUs and Im not one bit surprised that its constant beacause dynamic RAM distribution didnt appear before windows 7 x64 for an example (again, shoot me if im wrong , please do). Furthermore I think the main reason gingerbread makes the nexus s UI more fluid than the Galaxy s is that it is hardware accelerated and Froyo isnt.

The samsung galaxy ace 2 VS the samsung galaxy w.
These two very similar phones are driving me insane, I can't choose between them, so I could really do with some help.
Part of it comes down to lower power duelcore vs more powerful single core.
But there is also NFC capability, and how all this effects the battery?
Is powering two cores worse for the battery than powering one huge one? ram is also a concern, average vs better than? is trading processor for ram ok, how will that effect the experience?
The prices I can get them for ace 2 £220 (this price does not include unlocking it) http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/choose-tariff/SAMSUNG_GALAXY_ACE_2/PPAY/NEW

Thanks for reading this far!
I've personally had the galaxy w/exhibit ii and loved it. It was fast and zippy and the screen was amazing. I think it came with a single core 1.0 GHz processor and 512 mb of RAM, so it was pretty fast specs wise. There is also a sizable amount of development for it as well. Also $200 for a phone this powerful was well worth it.
I don't know much about the galaxy ace 2, but I can personally vouched for the galaxy w.
Ace2 better than w

I think Samsung galaxy w better, because the CPU Clock is 1,4 GHz and Ace 2 is only 800MHz. These both is NOT UPGRADEABLE TO ICS .

Hello guys,
I'm kinda confused here.
I'm asking about a CPU I seen some phones and tablets claim that they have it as a Quad Core processor but somehow in other places like in Antutu and other benchmark programs it'll say something else.
now in the Chinese phone Market you'll see a new line of Quad Core Devices, tablets or phones.
they say they have: Samsung Exynos 4412 CPU and as far as I know this is a Quad Core Processor.
but when u launch Antutu for example on some of these new Chinese Devices you'll see it says:
Exynos 4x12
and will show something like this:
CPU Hardware: SMDK4x12
CPU model: Dual-Core ARMv7 Processor (VFPv3, NEON)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and actually when I read: Exynos 4x12 so the "X" doesn't clear it for me is it: 4212 the dual core one or the 4412 the Quad core one.. u see what I mean?
this is really confusing.
try for yourself searching for Galaxy s3 Clones or knockoff - Galaxy Note 2 Clones or knockoff and u'll see similar things to what I'm asking about.
also the GPU shows in some of these phones claiming to have Quad Core Exynos 4412 that it's: powervr sgx531, while the Samsung Exynos Quad core will have GPU: Mali-T604
lol the whole thing is messed up there..
hope that someone would come and clear it out so we dont get scammed when buying these devices.
thanks
Most Galaxy S2 or S3 clones and knock-offs use an MTK chipset such as the 6575 or the 6577. These would normally be paired with a previous-gen GPU such as the PowerVR SGX 530 or 531.
It is quite easy to modify Android to display a string about the CPU, anything you want really.
A true Exynos CPU will ship with a Mali GPU. The 4x series shipped with the Mali-400, the Exynos 5 in the Chromebook and Nexus 10 ships with the Mali-604, as you stated.
In short, you won't find an Exynos device without a Mali GPU. If it lists anything else - you're probably being misled
thx juzz86 for your reply.
u know what is making this confusion in my opinion?
it's when u read the CPU saying this:
CPU Hardware: SMDK4x12
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
SMDK stands for: Samsung Mobile Developers Kit and the 4x12 most people will think it's the Quad Core Exynos 4412 cause in the advertisement of the device(s) the sellers claim it has Quad Core processor.
so I found out that: reading SMDK4x12 or even SMDK4412 doesn't mean that the processor itself is the Exynos 4412 Quad Core.
the funny thing is when I demand from some sellers to go online with me and to turn on the camera so I can see for myself whats going on, only then they get scared when they see me ask alot about the CPU and that I doubt it's the Quad Core.
I also have to confess that some of them (the sellers) honestly didn't know that they have a Dual Core Device and not a Quad Core.
so guys... watch out and pay extra attention to the new Claimed to be Samsung Exynos Quad Core 4412 Processor.
ask for proof and Guarantees, and good luck
thanks again juzz
Yes mate, always pays to ask a lot of questions before buying one of these. Unfortunately as you say, most sellers don't understand what they are selling, just that it is 'dual-SIM'.
There is a pretty good following behind at least two of the clones here in the 'General' and 'Android Hacking' forums. Doing a quick search should pull up some.root methods as well.
MTK are getting better, and now even have a quad-core CPU in the works. That'll be a compelling option for some knock-offs, for sure!
Happy buying mate!

Hi, anyone can tell me if HDC S4 EXYNOS (Galaxy S4 Clone) is true. It is to sold in FastCardTech
Quad Core Exynos and 2 Gb. RAM,
Does it true?
Anybody have one of this ?
Some Forum write that is Fake, that is Dual Core with 512Mb, that is flashed for show wrong values.
maybe.
Qualcomm will never provide chips to little or unknown manufacture.
but Nvida will..
some people say samsung will provide chips for them. so i think maybe it's true.

It is a fake. It has been shown a few times in the forums these device only have the hardware they say they do about 1% of the time and they all have modded apps to support the false readings.
Apparently this phone has a MTK quad core 1.2 with 1gb of ram.
Not sure why these people bother. Paypal will refund everyone who was mis sold. (Eventually!)
Haha I'd but such a phone for my self if it was sold for like 2$ just to showoff to my friends and prank them

Oh I know what what you mean. With electronics just remember, you get what you pay for. The 1.2 quadcore with 1gb or ram could very well run like it has specs at half of that. Most of those devices tend to only have like 512mb of ram. This is one of the huge problems with devices out of China. Due to their lack of enforcing Copyright laws and false advertising laws they can say what ever they want really.
