Um... how exactly is dual core 1GHz three times faster than single core 1.4GHz?
A dual core processor is never twice as fast as a single core if both have the same frequency, e.g. 2x 2GHz vs. 2GHz on a PC/laptop.
This is just a marketing trick fooling people to buy "greater numbers".
If you want to make a realistic comparison, take the two phones, put them side by side, put them in the same working circumstances, and ONLY THEN measure whose processor is faster.

Different CPU generations, ARM's own comparison puts the Cortex A9 atleast 30% ahead of the A8 clock-for-clock.
The TI OMAP has the NEON FPU that adds massive performace in some tasks, like video decoding/encoding.
Sure, side-by-side comparison is the best, but the Sharp is Japan only. nobody cares unless you live in Japan.

How about the evo 3d?

Evo 3D will use the older CPU, but clocked higher. Not sure about the winner in a CPU fight.
But I think it will be missing the NEON FPU, in some tasks the O3D will beat it.
For example VPlayer, uses NEON to play HD clips:

SH-12C can now be unlocked by DOCOMO officially at the owner's choice. All functions except oneseg tv, saifu (ewallet), BEETV dont work and only for japan, but the rest are OK can be used in GSM/UMTS world.. I guess if you can have this phone even not living in Japan, this is an awesome phone.. PEACE...

I had just confirmed it is so. The phone can be bought for about 58000yen from Docomo shops, and the Unlocking costs 3500yen. I came over to Tokyo for biz trip and had time to visit a few shops and etc and verified it. some sellers are selling it cheaper at about 45000yen locked. Hope this info helps..

Confirm all unlock except for WI-FI hotspot( tethering). Currently no one can root it yet. it seems to change the APN to dcmtrg.ne.jp whenever you switch the tethering on.
I have bought it and been using it since end of May. I think you can get them from any importer.
Feel like the fastest single core phone. Except for 1080P movie playing and recording it is as good a the new 2 cores phone
Seems no one is using it here in XDA yet?

Here is a video overview of the Sharp:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKyzcshZOAI&feature=related
Available on Ebay now.
Looks like it is at least 30grams lighter than the O3D or Evo 3D and a few mm less wide too.
Looks like the 3G radios work in EU and maybe at some ops in USA too?

Just bought it... cool phone.... except for the phonebook when I load from Gmail... its jumbled up... not in a-z sequence

Here is a short review with a lot of photos and samples from the camera, 2d photo and 2d video:
http://translate.google.se/translat...e.ru/reviews/sharp/157-docomosh12creview.html

I would have bought this phone over the LG or the HTC 3D phones, simply because it already is available and more pocket friendly with 30g less weight and a few mm less wide. One forum comment was that the single core is not enough for full hd playback, but for example the Optimus 2X also has issues unless the video is encoded with all the correct setttings.

Screenshots show that it has built in support for Japanese and English.
The specs on the radio list the frequencies that we use in EU, but I am not an expert at this. Maybe someone else can confirm that.
Snip from the hands on below at Engadet somewhat confirms this:
"2100MHz (world) and 800MHz (Japan) HSPA support"
http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/20/sharp-aquos-sh-12c-3d-smartphone-hands-on-video/

Engadget has done an excellent hands on/review of the Sharp SH-12C, including photo and video samples in 2D and 3D. Looks like it also shoots 3D video at 720p, like the O3D/Evo3D:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/20/sharp-aquos-sh-12c-3d-smartphone-hands-on-video/
"The 4.2-inch qHD (960 x 540 pixel) glasses-free 3D LCD is just spectacular, with excellent colors, brightness, and contrast as well as decent viewing angles."
"it takes 3D pictures at 2 megapixels (in MPO format only) and captures 3D video in 720p at 30 fps, with the left and right frames being squeezed into a single 1280x720 pixel H264 frame. 720p is also the maximum resolution for 2D video recording, but 2D stills are shot using the full 8 megapixels."

Because HK use the same standard as in EU,
I have tried GSM and HSDPA network all work ok , and similiar for prople around asia( from other countries' forums)
so no need worry if you are in US unless your area only support CDMA network. It selling like hot cakes here in HK. My freind who is selling these direct import phone worry it will run out of stock soon or DOCOMO pull the plug to because . Also the Japanese usually only produce phone for one season, then you will have to wait for the Winter models or inflated price.
Since it is illegal by Japanese law to export phones outside of Japan or to sell phones to non-Japanese resident in Japan.
Is sell at 39000Yen at Tokyo street shops now + 4000yen

ICS for the Captivate Glide? Ouch.

Along with the ICS for the HTC Vivid, AT&T announced ICS for several other phones... *including* the Captivate Glide. I never thought I'd see AT&T and Samsung outdo T-Mobile and HTC in terms of an update.
Sent from my pyroiced doubleshot using xda premium

well, the glide is a dual core device and it's actually newer than the doubleshot... it makes perfect sense.
it's just the mt4gs not being updated that's shameful and disgusting

True, the Device has a 1Ghz Duel Core, and 512Mb of Ram. Its just a Thin Duel core Epic 4G.
Virtuous Primo v1.12.00 Alpha 1 for myTouch 4G Slide

Well 2 things:
1. T-mobile hasnt officially announced their upgrade list yet.
2. Samsuck had all the time in the world with ICS before any other OEM. There were pictures leaks of TouchWiz builds before the AOSP was released on google's site.
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium

I own numerous devices.... a lot... as an addict...
While the Glide may not be the sexiest Droid on the market, it is hands down the best HW KB slider period. While it is constructed typically like a Samsung, lots of plastic, the features of the device are pretty impressive. With a dual core Tegra 2, it opperates smoothly & in direct contradiction with Samsung's plastic toy-like build style, the keyboard itself is solidly built & operates nicely with it's quality assisted hinges. The Tegra 2 is a solid chip & rendering is pretty darn good. It's 1Ghz dual core is as almost (if not more in some cases) as responsive as many of the 1.2 & 1.5Ghz devices.
I am an HTC guy, but I always have a HW KVB device as well. While the Glide is great for those that have to pound out emails & make some document changes, it also packs some really great features for your down time too. With the 8MP camera & 720P video support, Native support for HD-DIVX, XVID and most all AVI formats & the ability to play heavily encpded AAC, FLAC as well as AC3 media files, it also the only slider I know of that can utilize its BCM4330 module (Broadcomm) on the true wireless-n 5Ghz band. While you can get wifi-n on the more common 2.4Ghz band, it is usually more cluttered & sometimes limited by other devices or repeaters, so that all connections default to the lowest speed of all devices connected. Use of the 5Ghz band makes streaming media to your home entertainment system a super fast & pleasant experience.
Couple these nice additions to the AMOLED screen & you also get pretty amazing battery life, making it, in my oppinion, a top-notch device for road warriors that prefer or must have a HW keyboard.If Samsung were to remake a next generation Glide (Glide 2?) & add a larger 4.5 or even 4.7 super-amoled & use the larger surface area to slightly slim the device down, I would definitely shell out for it again. With the advanced power management features of ICS, I can envision the Glide getting a good 48 hours of use.
So while again, the Glide may not be the sleekest & sexiest beast (Like my Vivid), it's solid reviews & customer satisfaction index, alongside the chance for Sammy to have the first ICS slider device on the market, updating the Glide to ICS was a no brainer.

After tearing open the iphone 5, the SGS3 Wins!

Wasnt sure where to post this, but I wanted everyone to see what we all already knew
iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3: S3 Declared Victor
1 day ago by Mike Johnson
The Samsung Galaxy S3 has been out since May and recently met its biggest rival, the iPhone 5. The comparisons and reviews – and even some teardowns – are flying. So let’s have a crack at it too.
iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3
Because Apple is famously reticent about internals like clock speeds, RAM and processors, teardowns are necessary to see if the facts stand up to the Apple hype. So the following details aren’t coming directly from Apple’s specs sheet but what the top tech testers are discovering about the iPhone 5 after some “dissections”.
So, let’s begin. The phones, as we can see from sales figures, are hugely popular. The iPhone 5 got more than five million pre-orders in its first three days, and Samsung expects to have sold 30 million Galaxy S3 units by the end of the year.
Dimensions: The iPhone 5 is 123.8×58.6×7.6mm and 112g in weight. The Samsung Galaxy S3 is 136.6×70.6×8.6mm and weighs 133g. Ignoring sizes, as the two phones have such different screens, the iPhone 5 wins out on weight and thickness as this is how things work in the world of portable consumer electronics. One point to Apple.
Screens: The iPhone 5 has a 4”, 1,136x640p resolution screen that’s LED, IPS and TFT. It’s housed in Gorilla Glass. The Samsung Galaxy S3 has a 4.8” 1,280x720p Super AMOLED screen that’s protected by Gorilla Glass 2. The iPhone 5 is easier to handle with one hand, but the S3 is way better for browsing and films, so it’s a draw here. However according to the folks over at DisplayMate, the S3 deserves an extra point as its display is more “high tech” than the iPhone 5. The S3 shows the full gamut of NTSC versus only 72 percent in the case of the iPhone 5. Advantage: Samsung.
Connectivity: The iPhone 5 has 3G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi Hotspot, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 802. It also has that proprietary Lightning dock that you’ll just love to spend $30 on a new connector for.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 has the same connectivity of the iPhone 5 but also has Wi-Fi Direct, NFC, Wireless Charging and DNLA There’s also a “one size fits all” microUSB cable, which means you can borrow a mate’s cable regardless of the smartphone he or she has. Winner: Samsung Galaxy S3
Memory/storage: Both have 1GB of RAM, along with 16GB, 32GB or 64GB of internal storage. However, the Samsung Galaxy S3 wins by a mile with its up-to-64GB of microSD memory expansion. The US Samsung Galaxy S3 also has 2GB of RAM so that is another point to note. Winner: S3
Processor: While Apple won’t reveal the architecture or frequency of the chipset, it looks, thanks to tests, that it’s based on two Apple ARMv7 cores (making it somewhere between A9 and A15). The frequency can go up to 1.3GHz but generally sits at 1.06GHz, and its A6 chip is helped along by a triple-core PowerVR SGX 543MP3.
We know for a fact that the Samsung Galaxy S3 has a 1.4GHz Exynos 4412 chip with four Cortex A9 cores (international model), and the graphics is handled by a Mali-400MP GPU. There’s no contest here, although Apple fans will insist that iOS doesn’t need four cores. However, for multitasking, games and apps, the S3 should perform better (on paper at least). As for the US version of the S3, it boasts a higher clocked 1.5GHz dual-core processor. It may be short of 2 cores but it gets a 2GB dose of RAM to give it that extra kick. Winner: Samsung Galaxy S3
Camera: The pair are on a par here, with 8MP cameras with LED flash, simultaneous HD video and still capture, autofocus, touch focus, face detection, geo-tagging and image stabilisation. The Samsung Galaxy S3 has smile detection, but this doesn’t beat the iPhone 5 BSI sensor. User tests say that the iPhone 5 takes better photos in low light. One point for the iPhone 5.
Battery: The iPhone 5 has a Li-Ion 1,440mAh battery that’ll give up to eight hours of talk on 3G. The Samsung Galaxy S3 has a 2,100mAh battery that gives almost 12 hours on 3G. However when it comes to real life, though, users are reporting that the iPhone 5 does live up to its specs sheet but the Samsung Galaxy S3, despite its bigger battery, can’t lay claim to more as it tops out at around 8 hours as well. So it’s another tie here.
Operating system & apps: OSs are hard to compare fairly. There’s always going to be friction between iOS and Android because it’s a matter of taste more than anything else. If you like customizing the heck out of phones, go for Android, but if you prefer something streamlined out of the box and all you want to swap is ringtones and wallpapers, chose iOS.
The iPhone 5 has the advantage of being pre-loaded with iOS 6, whereas the Samsung Galaxy S3 is still waiting for Jelly Bean in most areas though. So while we can’t compare iOS and Android, we can say that in having the latest update and its features, the iPhone 5 has an advantage over the Samsung Galaxy S3.
iOS 6 might have Facebook integration, but Android ICS gives you the same integration with every app you care to install, like Google+, Facebook, Instagram, Picasa and Imgur.
Apple Maps has become the whipping boy of the year, whereas the S3 and TouchWiz have nifty features like Palm Swipe, Direct Call, Pop-up-Play and Smart Alert. I also found Siri to be better than S-Voice, but this could all change as soon as Jelly Bean brings Google Now. Then there is Google Maps of course which is preloaded in the Winner: iPhone 5. Taking all this into account, we’ll have to call it a draw again.
Design: The iPhone 5 wins hands down. Sure, there’s no great redesign, so it’s still as classy as ever, only lighter and slimmer. Samsung used a slightly more expensive looking plastic for the S3 than it had before, but it still looks gaudy. Advantage iPhone 5.
Conclusion: The Winner: The SGS3 gets four points and the iPhone 5 gets three. The S3 got its points for display, memory, connectivity and processor. The iPhone 5 won on camera, design and dimensions. The phones drew on battery life and OS.

no surprise here.

I'm pretty sure that the iPhone gpu and CPU are more powerful. Having more cores barely means anything because most smart phone task aren't multi threaded like computer tasks. With gaming unless you have a tegra 3 quad core there are sadly no games that take advantage of the quad core exynos 4412 or the s4 pro. IPhone gaming will definitely be better also because it gets so much attention cuz its the only iOS phone

Anyone else want to speculate on the Samsung Galaxy S IV?

Just a harmless conversation based on what the next Samsung flagship phone might receive based on trends of the mobile industry. You can offer your own opinions and/or critiques.
With the Nexus 4, sporting a very powerful S4 Snapdragon quad processor, 320 Adreno GPU, 2 GB of RAM and the standard HD display, it's sure to be the strongest thing we have until the HTC Butterfly (now dubbed the HTC DNA) comes (reportedly to Verizon) sporting a 1080p screen, probably the same processor and RAM, as well as a bigger battery.
It's clear that the competition within the Android ecosystem isn't as monopolized by Samsung like it was a year or two ago - at least in terms of quality products. The Galaxy S II stayed not only as the top Android phone, but the top phone period for almost a whole year. It seems that HTC and LG have stepped up their game and are putting out functioning, competitive products. The Galaxy S III kind of fell off the performance radar within 4-5 months. (comparatively speaking)
Samsung has been reportedly testing 3 GB RAM on experiment phone models; if that made it to the final product of the GSIV, that would make it a trend-setter in that regard. It's also going to come with the new-generation 13 megapixel camera module, which is slated to desolate any popular 8 MP camera shooters on the market - such as the HTC One X, Galaxy S III (the worst of the bunch on the front-facing camera) or iPhone 5 with its color-reproduction and low-light performance.
As for the processor, I hope they throw in the ultra-powerful Exynos 5450 (the Cortex-A15 quad-core) rated at around 2 GHz, it will absolutely eat the already unbelievably fast S4 Krait quad in the upcoming megaphones for breakfast. The Mali-658 GPU from the aforementioned would probably also be on par, if not better than that in the iPad 4's A6X's GPU. Last but not least, anyone else hoping we'll see a beautiful Super AMOLED HD Plus display (or whatever they'll call it) with full 1080p?
All of these rumors and speculation sound reasonable at this point, given what we've been seeing in the market place. If it all turned out to be true, the Galaxy S IV would be leaps and bounds above any smartphone upon its release and maybe easily throughout the year subsequent to its release. I'm actually excited that the competition within Android is picking up steam. The harder these companies compete against each other, the more us, as consumers win.

In the next generation phones, most of them would be compatible with nfc payments, like Google wallet or isis.
I expect faster processor and a minimum of 2 gb of ram.
Most likely, every phone will come in different screen sizes. So you can choose a particular phone with your choice of screen size.

Why would they use Tegra 3 chips - which are only Cortex-A9's and the fact that Samsung develops their own chipset means they would opt for their own before another chipset commonly found in its competitors.

I sure hope they don't use the tegra chipset. That'll make them depend on nVidia for updates.

more batery life
It's great that a lot of attention is put into adding better specs (RAM, CPU, features like NFC, etc), but my biggest concern is that they' don't pay enough attention to battery life. I don't understand why they don't invest more in this field.
Here's to hoping that Samsung will care more about this and innovate in this area.
