Meh, no big deal. NEXUS PRIME is primed up to be the bad boy coming out very very soon, forget the Bionic or the SGS2.

Nexus Prime or HTC Vigor all the way
blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge

Big Red sure hates super-phones.
The Charge is nice, but it isn't a super-phone.
The iPhone 4 is far from it.
Man... Verizon fails again.
We'll have to see how the Nexus Prime goes.

It's being confirmed by Verizon, no SGS2 for Verizon. You can email her to get confirmation:

Here is a response someone else got from her when they asked why Verizon was not getting the SGS2:

My response from Verizon's Brenda Raney when asked why the Galaxy SII was passed up by Verizon:
"We have an exciting portfolio of devices including the 4G LTE Droid Charge by Samsung. The new Galaxy S device is a 3G device."
What a joke..

I was pretty upset when I found out. Especially since I was planning on selling my Charge to buy the GSII, then selling the GSII to buy the Prime.
What would suck the most is of the Prime DOESN'T come to Verizon. :/
And what about the Samsung Celox? It's almost like a GSII, but with LTE and a Super Amoled HD display.

Lol.
Anyways, I'm pretty sure Big Red didn't want the SGS2 because the Charge isn't selling all that well(and most people were holding out for the GS2 instead of getting the Charge). Glad I didn't hold out, dual-core is OVERRATED. Only thing I envy is the 1gb ram. Oh lawd I want 1gb ram.

Is it really? I've only used a single core phone before(they load perfect on the Charge with those godly 4g speeds) and if cores on phones are anything like a CPU then they are wasted. Cores are used for multi-tasking plenty of applications or single-tasking core intensive applications and as far as I know there aren't any apps that would require both cores.

Where did you get that info? I'd say that the Charge is probably the best selling 4G phone on Verizon, and if it isn't, then it is definitely the 2nd best selling 4G phone.

The Charge is selling perfectly fine. Its not a blockbuster, but its not a flop either. Its expensive, so that's one thing to consider when looking at the Tbolt. I think the extra money is worth the gorgeous screen on the Charge. Considering I spend a heafty percentage of my time staring at the screen while I use my phone, I consider the screen the second most important component of the phone nipping at the heels of the radios. Motorola has the best radios.... but they don't have an lte device on vzw... yet.

Dual core makes browsing better because it can multi-load 2 things at once on web pages. For example it can load the web script on one core and flash on the other all at the same time. LTE and dual core combined make browsing spectacular. Go try the new Galaxy Tab. It's awesome.

Well, it's not EXACTLY like that, but you get the point. Dual cores just beat the crap out of single cores. My dad's X2 scores like 2500 on Quadrant bone stock with little ram left. My Charge and OG Galaxy Tab are both single core Hummingbirds...and they have NOTHING on the X2, even OC'd and with Voodoo. If you pick up a dual core device you will instantly see the difference. It's smooth as butter.
However, manufacturers had an early problem of the LTE radio toasting dual core processors. My bet is the interference of the 800mhz radio, but i'm no professional. I believe this problem is pretty much solved now.

re
either the snap dual core or the quad core.. either way it will be gobs better than the Charge.

The frustrations this phone and the Fascinate have caused, I look forward to using a phone from another manufacturer.
Supposedly HTC is coming out with a Note competitor this summer.

I'm actually quite happy how my phone has performed. I haven't had any issues besides a couple of force quits from some apps. They just had bugs in them though. I've had my phone for 7 months and I've been quite happy. Got it right around the Gingy update. I guess I would upgrade if a decent phone came out that had all of the bells and whistles.
The ReZound has almost everything but it's missing a few odds and ends. Still an awesome phone. I find myself playing with my wife's ReZound from time to time. The iPhone 5 almost sounds promising, but I want to see what is going to compete with it once it comes out. I guarantee something awesome is going to blow the iPhone out of the water. Waiting...

Word is that Samsung's quad core exynos is incompatible with US LTE frequencies because they don't make it in that specification or something, which is why the US version will have the s4 like the one x on at&t.

Gay. Why is it the states get the ****ty end of the stick when it comes to android phones? Phones have to be modified to come to the states and then the same phone that released in europe, korea, and china differs from what we get here.

Maybe because they aren't US based companies? Motorola is, and I am pretty sure the US moto phones are released before their international equivalents. Also, US carriers run on different frequencies from everyone else.

I am pretty excited for it. I am waiting to use it hands on before I make the dive. My plan just went up a few days ago so I am waiting to test this before upgrading if it comes to Verizon.

HTC One X or S3? lemme know ur guys thoughts on this!!

Sounds like the US model will be lte.. probably getting the dual core kraits like the One S/X Att model. I have the One S, the only advantage to me would be removable storage of the S3. I prefer smaller screens and the One S form factor is awesome. I think this year's releases from both HTC and Samsung look promising.
I guess the last point or question would be Touchwiz or Sense? I have always prefered Sense if It's not vanilla aosp.

That would make me jump ship, but I have seen multiple reports stating it will be dual core for T-mo because t-mo is more concerned with the high speed data.
I guess it is wait and see at this point. We can hope.

The tegra is the only cpu that has issues with LTE from what I've seen. Every other chip should be fine.

Take the T-Mobile Galaxy S II for example. The original Exynos processor found in the international Galaxy S II wasn't compatible with the full speed 42mbps HSPA+ that T-Mobile has, so T-Mobile opted for a Snapdragon S3 instead.

SGS3 just released in 28 countries.

Just saw the breaking news on android spin. Although it's not yet released in the United States, it's good to see that Samsung is sticking to their promise of releasing the SGS3 world wide this summer. I'm thinking that the T- Mobile release date in June may actually be true.

S4 krait snapdragon is a15 which has 40% more per core performance than standard a9 in exynos. The gpu in the exynos is better. But the CPU is weaker. Performance will actually be the same now unlike last year Samsung galaxy s2 fiasco. All phones will have vsync on so you will be locked at 60 fps regardless of what processor you have. Development should be unpar with the exynos since the USA will have s4 and international exynos. A15 dual core has the performance slightly Better than quadcore a9. Regardless of benchmarks.

that's stupid. tmobile is changing their towers to include the 1900mhz spectrum, just buy the int'l version of the s3, problem solved. Cpu makes a big difference in how clear the screen is/photo quality. I had an Epic 4G Touch with Sprint (has the dual core Exynos) before coming to T-Mobile and it was a lot better than this phone in just about every way, the screen's colors were more vivid, there was less noise in photos, image quality was incredible, battery lasted longer, even images taken with the front facing camera were nicer, response times were faster. Cpu makes a big difference. Have fun with the iPhone, not that anyone cares about how Samsung disappointed you.

The difference was no one seems to get this Samsung actually optimized the software around exynos. The Samsung Galaxy S2 with qualcomm processor was ported software. Not as well optimized as the exynos. Samsung was in a rush to get the phone released in the states. Samsung knowing LTE is the big thing in the USA. Will optimize both phones equally now. Especially if the phones are being released so closely towards each other. Even the developers in the Samsung Galaxy s3 forum are saying that the 2 gig krait cpu is the better phone. A9 dual core to a9 quad core is not much of an improvement. Krait actually is and it keeps up with the best with less cores. Until true a15 cores come out.

The Korean S3 is just a beast though, it has the quad A9 cores, better GPU wolfston DAC, the 2GB's of ram and LTE (not that it will work in North America). If you can live with 3G though... the Korean S3 is absolutely incredible. Just expect the most horrendous battery life.
