Database Info

I know there has been a lit of talked about the Galaxy SII but..

Has anyone actually seen and held one of the unbranded euro models? I met a guy from France today who had one on SFR and it was actually a smaller looking Infuse. All I've heard so far is that the euro one is 4.5 and att is going to get a 4.3 version. Can anyone clear this up for me really quick? I don't want this to turn into a flaming or bashing or anything like that. Just wanted to know if anyone had a definitive answer because Google doesn't help one bit haha
Thanks
Tommy

Ah sweet! Thanks! So what is everyone talking about with the 4.5" screen?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

Hmm.. well samsung galaxy s2 was released a few months ago here in Mexico and well they KINDA look alike... except the middle physical button on the gs2 and the battery door that makes the camera look "different" even though they are both 8mp
Of course sg2 is "faster" since the dual core but i didnt noticed any major difference on speed when working with my friends galaxy s2.... it was smaller than my Infuse, so i guess its 4.3"... and at&t should get 4.3" as well... i mean Mexican and European version are 4.3" i dont think the USA will be 4.5" probably bad info...

Go here:

Since it's a question about that phone and not the Infuse.

Cool thanks guys!

The Euro version is a 4.3" screen, AT&T's version will be the closest to the Euro one, only the physical button will be gone from all american versions of the phone. The Sprint and T-Mobile versions will have 4.52" screens instead of 4.3", and the T-Mobile version will have a different, 1.5Ghz dual core Qualcom CPU. The Samsung Exynos chip is limited to 21.1mbps HSPA+ speeds, while the Qualcom can hit 42mbps.

The skyrocket has better specs and is lte capable. I think its far better plus ics is right around the corner. I had the skyrocketed from rogers as well sold it last week but its a amazing phone

Nexus is has old cpu and specs wise Rocket is best. Once we get ics our phone will be best in market.

Definitely keep the skyrocket. I think the nexus may have been a little overrated.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

I think our opinions in this forum are a little biased, but that's because most of us LOVE our Skyrockets.
Definitely keep it. Skyrocket has a better processor and a better camera, if you need a couple of reasons...

The only thing I like more about the Nexus is the 720 screen. But for that, you can probably wait for the S3 or the S2 LTE HD (aka Skyrocket HD).

What parts are making you regret it?

The only thing that I don't like about the Skyrocket is the HDPI screen. It wouldn't normally bother me, but coming from an Evo 3D with QHD, it just seems kind of blurry. Other than that, this phone is absolutely amazing.

Thanks for the responses. Definitely clears up. SKYROCKET definitely has better hardware. But on Monday when the note comes out I'll make my decision....depends on the size of that thing.

Honestly I was drawn back by the design cause I came from infuse 4g which in my opinion has a more premium look. Lol...
Sent from my SGH-I727R using xda premium

I hear you about the screen its my one drawback as well. outside of that, this phone has been great thus far. Sucked to here the HD is going hit canada, but not until q2 which by then, more quad core devices are going to be on their way so its not as big of a deal.

I love my skyrocket. Its been the best phone to date I have had. infuse was ok but felt cheaper to me... have a white note coming next week. and cant wait. cause to me its like a bigger skyrocket.. with a few little extras.. but will keep my skyrocket on my spare line. etc..
Funny thing is.. on the skyrocket the stock rom has been so good havent felt the need to install another etc.. unlike say the inspire or infuse or atrix. or the 10 million other androids I have had in the past. etc..

I find it funny that people on the skyrocket forums are not as anal as people in infuse.
Sent from my SGH-I727R using xda premium

Had the Skyrocket. It was good but since I didn't have LTE here it was pointless to keep. Galaxy Nexus is by far better in performance but since it doesn't have LTE skyrocket is faster IMHO

Oh man brother! im trying to make that same descision !!! Im thinking .. hmm ceramic, quad core, +++... or huge ol' georgous phantasy beast of a phone
Im curious to hear what other brothers are sayin' as well

I wordering how long it would take for someone to make a post about the SGS3 and HTC One X. Lmao. I have read in a lot of other forums and most are not happy with SGS3. From what I read it doesn't seem like it has a lot going for it other than a quad core and I doubt that it will be utilized that much. The nifty upgrades to the SGS3 can probably be ported to a device with like hardware. In my opinion, its barely better than the Note. All in all I would still pick the SGS3 over the HTC One X. That's just me though.
Get a Galaxy Note. Tehehehe :thumbup:

If you buy the international One X you'll get Tegra 3 and options of 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB storage.
The ATT version runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 and has 16GB of storage with 12GB user accessible. The battery is not swappable and there is no microsd slot. Also, the bootloader is locked.
The ATT SGS3 variant is rumored to also run on the S4. If everything else remains the same, I think it's the better phone:
1) SuperAMOLED: at 1280x720 you will not notice its pentile.
2) Larger removable 2100mAh battery.
3) 16 GB internal storage with a microsd expansion slot.
Those 3 things are enough for me to decide on the SGS3.
I wrote off the One X when I first heard of the battery and microsd slot issue.

Screw those phones and get a Pantech Burst.

Well i have had 4 galaxy s2, I have had an htc one x and i have had a galaxy note.
The build quality on the Samsung`s is better than the htx one x, it`s screen is not attached to the body correctly it creaks and moves when pressed and the colours go crazy, I prefer the htc one x screen quality apart from the yellow spots, not a big fan of oled technology.
The Galaxy Note was my favorite, but i returned it as their is a problem with the video playback and other screen issues, a dame shame.

U r right its clearly an android killing machine
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA

I have no idea.... the sg3 is ugly, (btw it should be the skyrocket hd ahem, look at the pics of them both). Honestly im thinking about the gnex, off contract it is 400 bucks here in the U.S. Idk though, if i can not get the gnex then the att one x is next, even though it has the horrible rooting stuff to it, and flashing roms can at the moment only be done through the computer. Then third sg3. I think all the options suck in a big way, maybe ill just keep my infuse for now until the Note 2 comes out not much later, that will be the epic phone killer.

I personally think Samsung is making by far the best android phones out there right now
I would definitely pick S3 for sure

We all have such different opinions but I don't see why u guys say the S3 is ugly, looks nice to me honestly... I was pulling for the One-X until I saw the s3 and watched the videos.

I gave the one X a spin @ my local at&t store, it was phenomenal. The screen was gorgeous and the UI was so fluid.

Get One-X
I think Galaxy S3 is ugly as well and the pen-tile screen isn't appetizing. One X have this brilliant real hi-dpi screen that provides crisp image, not pen-tile. iPhone 4S is not Super Amoled as well but I would still prefer crisp screen.
And I don't see how quad-core and dual-core(assuming it's US version) would make a big difference they're both enough. I bet less than 1% of the time you would notice the significant difference. And quad-core probably drains more battery.
I love my infuse, too. As we have ICS I'm not thinking of changing it in a year.

If the one x can prove to me these two things: the build quality is better then the international one x and the bootloader gets fricken unlocked soon then i will get the one x. I would still use my infuse for the heavy tasks like listening to music, and being my "school" phone because i need the extra storage, not some cloud stuff i can access that eats my data plan tremendously.

No, its a TMO release...Honestly I'm very happy with my s3...Don't really question or regret it even if the 2 phones were out I'd still go with the S3 in the end I'd take expandable memory (sd card) over processing power any day...but that's just me I don't really use my phone for games more so music and media.

I'm happy with the Galaxy S3, even though the HTC One X+ will probably be packing a quad core. I don't think that there will be much of a difference in everyday use.

I for one can't wait for it to be released, Super LCD 2 running jelly bean plus quad core this ish is gonna be a true monster no question about it :beer:

Why Idc about the one x+?
Coming from the one S I find the gs3 screen better. It Sucks in daylight but it doesn't bother me. Another thing is battery. They one+ is reportedly rocking the same size battery as the one x. Higher clocked processor with more cores = terrible battery life. Another reason is HTC in general. Coming from the one S I still don't think they even have full s off because Htc hasn't released the source code (last time I check people still couldn't make custom kernels) whereas Samsung released the gs3 instantly. Last reason is the sense ui. It's wack compared to touchwiz Imo.
I make enough money to get a new phone monthly if I wanted to. I won't be buying another Htc branded phone for a while. Not until they get better at supporting the dev community. I'm even still in my 14 day return period and I won't be returning it. Now release a gs3+ with an s4+ pro (quad) and you win me over lol.

Not entirely true. Tegra 3 processors have a 5th core clocked @512mhz that runs all the background stuff if the cores aren't needed...thus giving it a better battery life. And, the GPU made by NVidia is awesome. Our Adreno 225 is just no match...sorry to say guys....but if that one x+ does come out with Tegra 3 and JB right or off the box...looks like I'll be making the jump. I'll still keep my s3 tho...like I do with all my phones.

Hmmm,...Im not seeing much of a difference. In fact, the S2 Snapdragon wins at least as many as the Tegra 3. Granted, if its at 1.7 GHz, it will make a little difference.

Ehh, I prefer Samsung over HTC...so...not really. There's really no need for quad core phones. Some people don't even have Quad Core PCs. :/

I was an HTC loyalist before the Galaxy S3 came out and the One S wasn't gonna cut it for me so that's why I pulled the trigger on the Galaxy S3 but little did I know how much I would love this phone! Now I'm not gonna lie, when I found out about the One X+ I was mad, but if you think about it, the X+ will probably not have a removable battery nor a SD Card slot which are deal breakers for me. Sure Tegra 3+ will be amazing because I'm a gamer on the phones, but 2GB of RAM, Removable Battery and SD card slot is too hard to give up! I love my GS3

I'm super happy with my SGS3. If you need high benchmark scores to make you feel like cool kat, then you should probably go with the HTC, however, WE all know that benchmark scores don't mean squat when compared to real world usage. That being said, those of us whom have already grown up are quite contempt with our Samsung phones. Believe me, I used to be a die hard HTC fan, always getting the latest and greatest of all their devices. Although one can only take so much before they just give up all hope and walk away feeling betrayed. After all of the random reboots, frozen screen, crashes, loading screens, glitches and disappointments, I decided that enough is enough HTC has let me down for the last time. I am now a born again Samsung lover, I feel sorry for ever straying in the first place, however, I am more than thankful that the SGS3 has brought me back to where I belong....

If it's a snapdragon and an adreno 320 then it's already failed because there are loads of phones like that.
They surely wouldn't advertise the octa chip if it wasn't going in the GS4. However the A7 mixed with the A15 seems like a little bit of a cheat, I bet it uses the A7 95% of the time or the A15 cores are heavily throttled because it looks like they drain battery like mad, especially in a smart phone.
