I'm well aware that there are two different versions and I know you cant flash the ROMS for one on the other, but how can I tell which device I have? I ran CPU Spy and the top used speed is 1512Mhz. Does that clearly translate into the S4?
I searched around and I cant find a clear answer.
Thanks in advance,

Simple, you can't root a One S with a S3 yet.
Is it big difference between S3 and S4? I've bought One S and now I find out that I got S3 :-/ Its 1.7GHz,but its older and it has got lower score in Quadrant than S4.
S3 ain't all that

No........ Your country only sells the S3 model; the one that is not as good. What you get is what you get. If you try to get it replaced, you will still get an S3, if they even replace it for no reason...

Qualcomm improved the S4 a lot! Its probably 1.5x faster than Qualcomm S3. In fact the Dual Core S4 is so impressive, it gives serious competition to the Quad Core Exynos used in the Galaxy S3.
Don't galaxy s3 use the same chips as one s ?

Try to act dumb, be like GSM arena (or any other website) show the specs as S4. It just might work.

The US Versions of Galaxy S3 use the Qualcomm S4 because Samsung can't/won't make Exynos compatible radios that can handle 4G speeds.
The international Versions of Galaxy S3 use the Quad Core Exynos which is faster in some things compared to the Qualcomm S4.
Do I have an S3?
I specifically bought my S3 wanting to have an S3 (i.e., I clarified that it said 1.5 GHz CPU). Now quadrant check gives the following infos, which led me to think that I have a S3 instead. Can someone please confirm whether it is an S3 or S4?
CPU
Name: ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7I)
Current freq: 1674 MHz
Max freq: 1674 MHz
Min freq: 192 MHz
COres: 2
Architecture: 7
GogoMIPS: 13.52
Hardware: villec2
Revision: 4
Your device is S3
i am interested in buying one s, but i am confused with the whole s3/s4 issue.
can someone from both sides confirm the following?
s4 box mentions "1.5ghz dual core",
s3 box mentions "dual core"
is it true? i am actually trying to find out a way to recognize the s4 device, without having to open the box...
ps. forgive me if it has already been mentioned. plz point me to the correct topic otherwise. regards.
On my One S box its specifically says "Snapdragon S4 1.5 dual-core processor"

Hey guys .. how you doin?
a Couple of days ago i was going to buy The HTC one S..
Well.. i know it's specs.. that it's an S4 krait 1.5 GHz.....etc
until the guy told me -bragging- this is the 1.7GHz version of the phone..
so i paused a bit.. and changed my mind ..
from now and on.. i'm not going to believe those sellers ..
I wish you guys can tell me how am i supposed 2 realize the difference between the two phones..
Any model number written on the box??
Anything??
..
Cause i don't want the dumb scorpion .. i want the snapdragon s4..
Sira,
Look at wikipedia there is a piece about model numbers for this phone: The two versions have slightly different packaging, the S4 is model z520e and states "Processor: Dual Core, 1.5GHz", whereas the S3 is model z560e and states "Processor: Dual Core".
yw, Koen
I read that in the HTC one S C2 section in GSMarena... and i had 2 make sure..
Thanks A lot
I think i can find that on the box?? right?

I've got the gray one since two weeks, coming from a GS2,before the gs I had a desire hd. I think is probably the best 4.3" phone (my personal size limit for display) very good battery life (about 1d15 in normal conditions and 3g always on). nice display and camera but I prefer shoot with my reflex!
I don't feel the needing of extra battery or memory for the moment. neither a powerful processor!
here the pic of the box, the processor is indicated under the box, first line.

Ok,
I've the S4 processor but it didn't say on the package, they left the 1.5Ghz part out. Only Z520e is printed there. It says:
Model and platform: Z520e, Android with HTC Sense
CPU: Dual Core
etc. etc.
I verified by running AnTuTu benchmark in which it said: CPU frequency 384.0 ~ 1512.0MHz.
Hello,
A friend of mine liked my phone and wants the exact same one. I have the S4 (z520) and in my country all the operators sell the S3 version - z560. The dealer that sold me mine is out of stock now...
We found a re-seller that sells the S4 version, a 100 euro cheaper in stock package with all the stuff, but it seems a bit shady to me.
So the question is how can I check if it really is the S4 or S3 version if it has the stock android? I can compare with mine,still no JB.
Will System->hardware tell any different then mine's Dual core?
The box will tell you. The S3 got 1.7Ghz CPU, while the S4 has 1.5Ghz.
Also, the box also shows the model, z520 in the S4's case.
To check within the phone you need an app that shows the system info (mainly cpu clock). If its 1.5Ghz = S4 and if its 1.7Ghz = S3.
I dont think theres any way to check the cpu clock on the phone without an app for it.

Yeap, for more confirmation, the cover where you have to slot in your SIM will state the model you have.

I suggest you go to ROM threads on both S3 and S4 One S. I bet the Devs wld put in the Build of your phone for the ROMS.
Like the guy above me said, you can check ur CPU clock speed by installing a CPU app or just by settings etc

It doesn't make sense... Neither 1.5 or 1.7. I know that it is villeC2 because bootloader states it and I have viperC2 Rom installed, the one compatible C2 variant.

Hello.
I've got HTC One S and I kinda don't know what version is this.
IMEI and the box say it's S3 version (Z560e), but I checked in geekbench - it showed "Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8260 A @ 1.67 GHz".
IMEI says it's 1.50 GHz and S3 version, Geekbench 2 says it's S4. Yet another thing - I can't update to android 4.1.
I don't know what to do I wanted to update to 4.1 with cyanogenmod, but I was afraid I'm running S3 version
[EDIT]
I was wrong.
The Box says it's Z560e (but maybe it's wrong box, I don't know). Sticker on the box has IMEI - I checked the IMEI and it said it's 1.5GHz S4 version. In Geekbench 2 it says 1.67GHz S4 version. How can I be sure which version is that?
Download and Install from the market "CPU Spy".
If you see max 1.5GHz is S4. If you see 1.7 is S3.
Or download "Quick system info", after Processor, CPU Frequency Range, see the clock.
Hope I helped you. :good:
Damn. It's 1.68ghz... It means it's s3. Geekbench and IMEI.info showed it's S3 though.
Model Z520e: S4 @ 1.5 Ghz
Model Z560e: S3 overclocked @ 1.7 Ghz
Just got my One S today, and while it said Z560e and 1.7ghz on the box, both Android System Info and Quadrant displayed 1512mhz and ville.
The IMEI on the box and phone matched as well.
Is it safe to presume that I have the S4, or are there other apps I should use to confirm it?
edit:
Managed to flash TWRP and CM10, so it's confirmed that it's an S4. Still curious about the labeling on the box though.
Just wanted to add that this was an imported phone from Asia that was intended for the Scandinavian market.

After opening 'CPU Spy' it shows at the top (1512MHz) so I'm assuming that mine is S4, am I reading or understanding this right?

Who are you directing this question @?
I will be buying a used One S this week, and would to to check if the hardware and software are ok while handling the phone in person.
I had a Samsung Wave and it was possible to go in admin menu with a special code and test the hardware + firmware.
Is it possible to do this with the one s / android?
I have heard of 1 bug with the one s, where the capacitive keys go a little crazy because of some GSM radios, is it possible to verify this?
Thanks!
AW: [Q] Buying a used One S - admin mode check?
I didnt noticed the helicopterbug anymore since the jellybean update.
What do you mean with testing hard and firmware?

I was thinking about a check of the sensors (acceleration, light, touch) and some firmwares (camera, radio).
For example here is the "service menu" for my samsung wave where i can run test on audio, video, etc.

It should say on the box. z520e is S4, z560e is S3.
A quick benchmark with Antutu should also say if it is 1.5GHz (S4) or 1.7GHz (S3)

The menu varies largely - some say dual core, some say 1.5GHz Dual Core, some say 1.7GHz Dual core. No good way to tell. Easiest way open antutu benchmark and check the info tab at the bottom of the screen. Adreno 225 means S4, Adreno 220 means S3.
So Ace III has been released 2 days ago. Obviously I will be getting one whenever possible.
Let's start a development thread for this new device, shall we? Let the discussions roll.
eeee VideoCoreIV? ... **** that phone
20% performance gain to ace 2 and less compatibility in games...
But official JB on start...(mayby good one)
hmm I will go tomorrow to EE or Vodafone to see that phone.

No it doesn't sport a Videocore IV GPU. It's powered by a variant of PowerVR SGX540.
Although I would be really much more happy if it was powered by Videocore IV. I have plenty of experience with this GPU from tinkering with RaspberryPi.
Yeah VideoCoreIV is litle bit faster than Ace2 or SGS GPU but overal if someone have Ace 2,GPU performance on Ace 3 will be that same if there is sgx 540..heh
Or if this will be directly GPU from SGS then will be slower than mali400mp1...lol
Mali is better, PowerVR is too old.
Mali400mp1 is only litle bit faster SOMETIMES than Pover Vr SGX540 from first Galaxy S.
One thing is important. Ace 3 have in LTE version 1.2Ghz cpu...this is alot better than Ace 2 if CPU is good (freq. is not all)
Little bit is always better
I wonder what the SoC is.
