2ed galaxy s on sprint?

All other big carriers for the U.S got or is going to get a second galaxys phone but there is no news on one for sprint. Verizon=continuum. T-mobile=nexus s. AT&T=infuse. What about sprint?

i think sprint has something else up its sleeve besides the evo shift

I doubt it, sprints slow to the punch when it comes to nw phones.

I thought so too.so does any body have any rumors? This is probably the reason the galaxy s phones have such have bad support, they were prototypes of the real deal maybe I think kinda probably most likely. But since specs of the infuse have already come out I'm expecting the epic 2(I'm calling it that until a confirmed name us found) to have way better specs

It would be dumb to launch another Samsung hummingbird phone at this point. Tegra 2 is clearly where the future is in Android phones and tablets, and the 40 million amazing super phones being unveiled at CES right now are evidence of this.

It seems like all the awesome high powered phones are going to at&t and verizon. What the hell? Why is sprint so slow with the new phones? I mean the EVO shift 4g, come on. Piece of crap. They seem to be more geared on releasing mid grade crap than getting some high end stuff out there. I just looked over engadget about some of the phones at CES and didn't see anything new being released from sprint. Did I miss anything? Did anyone else see any new high end phones coming to sprint?

isnt mezmerize the usc varient of the galaxy S aka a fascinate renamed..
to be fair Verizon will have 3 galaxy s phones...Fascinate, Continuum, the 4g phone
and knowing sprint they wont release another top tier phone after the shift for at least 3 month >.>

Oh my bad I just keep on getting the names mixed up. Nice catch

This is just a continuation of Google working with different hardware manufacturers with each version of Android. HTC/Qualcom snapdragon with Nexus One and Froyo, Samsung hummingbird with Nexus S and Gingerbread, and now NVidia Tegra 2 with Honeycomb. The dual-core hummingbird can easily go toe to toe with the Tegra 2. It just wasn't Google's partner for this current iteration of android development.

Well who knows if the orion gets used at all especially after this
http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/19/samsung-nabs-tegra-2-for-galaxy-tab-2-google-makes-tegra-the-ho/

Yea, I dont know what Orion is capable of, but I am pretty damn sure that Tegra 2 is awesome as hell from what I have seen.

That only shows that the Tab will be using the Tegra 2...for the cellphone they may go with Orion for it..
If I remember correctly the Orion is 32nm..while Tegra 2 is 40nm..so the Orion should be more energy efficient then and a better choice for cellphones...

If the Blackberry Playbook is using the Orion, then I am impressed. There is no indication that it IS using the Orion, but it could be. Until I see an Orion processor do what a Tegra 2 can do, I will be rooting for the Tegra 2 to come to Sprint.

The Orion has an ARM Mali GPU is the rumor..
According to Samsung it dishes out 267Mtri/s & 1.6Gpix/s..which seems pretty good to me :/

We don't even have a real world performance of the Tegra 2 chip..so far only real performance we got was on 1 core and we don't even know if it was optimized or not or anything for the matter...while it may not be an indication that the Orion is better then the Tegra 2..its a good enough indication to say its at least on par...

The CPU scores are expected because its a Cortex A9..any Cortex A9 will always be better then a Cortex A8..still those scores are not optimizing the Hummingbird 100% and probably not optimizing the Tegra 2 either..and is using a single core..
Each CPU in the Tegra 2 also has its own GPU so you can estimate 1.6-2x the scores its getting now minimum

I think sprints next big thing will be windows 7 phones.

Processing power on future phones

Ok so my question is this...
The HTC One X ( Evo 4G LTE ) will be coming with a 1.5 dual core processor... yet I hope that the SGS3 will come with a Quad Core processor... am I missing something here? Why is the One X being shipped with the same power as our current SGS2? Or can someone educate me on this? Is the One X really more powerful or is it that the U.S. carriers cant afford to sell a quad core phone for $199?

SGS3 is going to have the quadcore 1.5ghz Exerynos (spelling?) processor, apparently that's almost certain. Samsung has a even processor already built ready go that's even better, 2ghz dual-core, but they're saving that for the generation after.
And E4GT has a 1.2ghz processor? How are they the same?
Anyways the main features for the new phone are the HD display and stock ICS and LTE especially.

the architecture is different with transistors and things much closer together on these newer chipsets. just cause its the same clock speed doesnt mean its not better.

Ok so this is what my question was, because they are both dual core phones... that doesn't mean that the ET4G has the same power right?
So how important is this when choosing a new phone in 2012? I am asking because I am looking at the Galaxy Nexus or the Evo 4G LTE.... But from my experience the processor is what makes the phones faster when playing games or loading movies.

The chip in the new evo is the s4 dual core from qualcom. Otherwise known as krait. This chip gives the tegra 3 a run for its money

The chip on the EVO is better but remember that Sense isnt a light skin to carry. The Nexus runs AOSP android and doesnt need much power to run it. In real life theyre both just as smooth as each other.

Great thanks for the feedback guys!!

they need to reinvent the cell phone battery in order to give these new processors the power they need. sure they are more energy efficient but i bet they still gunna drain pretty damn quickly. i would love to have a slim battery that lasts all day. these bulky extended batterys make our phones look like ****

Actually, in theory, a good quad core should win out in terms of battery liFe. More cores at lower frequencies.
As long as software is developed to properly utilize the hardware of course.

...

People buy based on specs. If tegra3 had onboard lte, then HTC would use it without a doubt, even if the s4 is faster and lighter on the battery.
I agree though, I would rather have a dual core processor on my phone. Especially if that means they (manufacturers) will spend more money on a better radio chip set and antenna design.

they could always make the phone a few millimeters thicker and make the battery cover the whole back, or even be the back.. but still have it removable, like my gfs phone the back is the battery, that would make it much larger still be just as slim and Ave like 3x more battery.. this phones pretty thin, if they made it as thick as the droid x or x2 then it would probably have the life of the maxx

I ment that dual core is potentially faster for android . The misconception I try to address is a cpu core exist more or less as a fpu unit, integer unit, cache space and usually other units that function as extensions like sse used to. Just because you have more doesn't mean they are more powerful.... quite the contrary usually out means lower transistor counts per core. What I understood Samsung had touched on is to simplify chip construction just adding say 40% more transistor to a very similar design they just update with newer memory, gpu, radio,etc to address power further smaller construction process like 28Nm I think and more clock states and voltage starts especially to regulate the gpu and memory...... serious weak point in our chipset/ software

I love my note, i wouldnt trade it for any other phone. I would say its as fast as the s2 if not faster. The one x and the s3 is faster of course, but you get a lot of screen and a s pen to go with it. I debated a while before i got mine and have no regrets of getting it a week ago so far. I think of the note as a big S2. I didnt think i could get use to the size, but i did and now look at other phones as if they are too small. just my 2 cents. you can always return it within 30 days and change it out.

how bout processor and gpu wise , are galaxy notes the same with our t989?

i havent used the 989 much, so i cant give an honest answer. from my understanding is that it is equal, if not better in performance. Qualcomm MSM8660 Snapdragon, featuring a dual-core 1.5 GHz Scorpion CPU and an Adreno 220 GPU is in the i717 note AT&T version. International version has the exynos. the S2 t969 has Qualcomm APQ8060 Snapdragon CPU Dual-core 1.5 GHz Scorpion GPU Adreno 220. Guess really the difference is size, s pen, and maybe lte?

[Q] should i sell my Gnex ?

Hey guys,
iam thinking of selling my galaxy nexus and buying one of the new quad core devices,
i was really excited about the new coming Huawei Ascend D quad since it will features the fastest CPU and a 16 core GPU. However, i have recently heard that it will be delayed because of some issues with the CPU until late Augest or September.
i already have a Sony Xperia S and after a small comparison between them in term of screen, camera, build quality, CPU/GPU i think that the other device was slightly better, i have already found a buyer but i still hesitate because the Gnex will get Android 4.1 and 5.x before any other device out there.
so, what do you think guys??
sorry for my poor English

The galaxy S3 has the same screen as the galaxy nexus. However, the last one has more pixel density because the screen is slightly smaller, in my opinion the sony xperia s has a better screen than both with 344 ppi reality display with mobie bravia engine,
The HOX has several problems already with wi-fi connection and some other software issues,
I dont prefer the user interface of the LG optimus 4X
Thats way i hesitate because i dont see a phone which is worth buying right now in my opinion
Besides all of them are cortex-A9
So, i think my point is clear now

Hmm.. better battery life ?? Snapdragon S3 and TI OMAP 4460 are built on 45 nm
Exynos quad 32 nm and the snapdragon S4 28 nm
I know how my S3 works, you only get one CPU online + full adreno 220 support,
The other CPU will only work if you need extra power which is rare
So it is only about battrey life, you dont really need a dual core or a quad core CPU.
I like the idea of big. LITTLE CPU which is basically contains a powerfull cortex-A15 core and a cortex-A5 core which do easy to medium tasks efficiently, in case you need more power the other core wil be online to finish the job and then ofline again

This is correct for the current quad core cortex-A9 CPUs
However, things will be different with quad core cortex-A15 CPUs since they are so efficient
nVidia tegra 3 has 4 + 1 CPU, so they are telling us that . Our CPU is not so efficient since it was built on 40 nm and that's why we need one underclocked CPU to save battrey for the background process, people like woooow this device has 5 cores !!!!! Iam going to buy it now but they don't really know the truth about it
In other words.. we will have "real" quad core CPUs with a cortex-A15 in term of battery efficient and speed

Well, i respect your opinion and thanks for the one star rating.
However, i like to "learn" from my mistakes,
As i said before, i think that buying 2 phones of the same generation was a mistake
And that was not going to be happened if i asked people how knows about phones more than me before buying the second identical peice of plastic.
There is no harm in asking people for help and then make my own choice.
That's why we have this section, to "ask" other people
To get some informations from them
And then to make our choice

When apps become multithreaded it will have more practical use. And what? The four cores don't always fire. Battery on my S3 blows away battery on my nexus and it is only 100mah larger than the extended battery.

If no phone is worth buying to you as you said in post #3, then don't buy another phone?
You seem like you want us to justify YOUR purchase. Its your money, do some research, if you don't like the phones out right now, then wait. Simple.

Ofcourse it is my choice, iam only asking for other ppl opinions
Which will help me to make my final descion.
Just because iam thinking to sell my Gnex doesn't make me a bad guy

I wouldn't worry about it.

No ones the bad guy in here. Simply put, whether you know it or not, chances are you've already made up your mind and like others have said, you are just looking for justification for whatever you are about to do. That simple.

Any other opinions? I'm in the same boat. I've pretty much decided against the Evo 4G LTE - it just isn't great enough. I'm leaning towards the S III but am wondering if I should wait for the next best thing.

The Evo 4G lte is right out for me too. The non removable battery is a no go for rom switchers. The s3 seems really nice but the plastic body and dual core are a little questionable. That LG LS970 has everything. I a better display, quad core s4, and a 13 mp camera.

I'm not due for an upgrade for about a year, so for me it's going to be a waiting game regardless.
I personally would wait, only because the US was shafted on the specs by getting a dual core processor instead of the quad core that it has overseas. The EVO LTE looks nice but as others have said, there is no removable battery so that takes away a bit from flash-aholics.
If you're trying to get a new feel for the S3's OS, I've heard good things about Mazdarider's remICS ROM (I have yet to try it, but plan to soon).

Get Mazdarider's remICS ROM
I was about to post the same thing Jaxp3r said, so I'll just reiterate...
If you aren't sure whether or not you want the gs3, just try out Mazdarider's remICS rom in the development threads.
I have been using it for almost a week now....LOVE it.
Depends on all you want to use, as I know HBO GO/Netflix/Hulu Plus aren't working on it.
But most everything else is...and it's so smooth.
Definitely recommend it for people who are considering the GS3.

Thanks! Does anyone know if the US gs3 is any slower than the international one? I want the quad core s4 but I also want to upgrade as soon as possible. Is LG any good at making phones now?

Really? I haven't heard about that before. I will have to look into that! Thanks!

The G S III is lagless; I've had mine since 21 June, and its still flying. The quad and dual core version handle roughly the same, but the quad does have the slight advantage in the gpu department due to the exynos chip.

I wasn't planning on upgrading, but my 1 year old shattered the screen on my EVO, so I got a SIII. It's very snappy and easy to root, although development as far as ROM's ect is just starting. The 3G is defiantly alot faster and the thing reboots almost as fast as it would take my EVO just to get going again after turning off airplane mode. Good luck whatever u decide.

I would hold off if I were you. Samsung phones or cheap made. Feels like fisher price made it. Lg isn't much better. Unless they changed something, lte networks don't work well with quad-core CPUs which is why we only get the dual-core models. Not to mention the gs3 is just plain ugly.

The GS3 is solidly built, despite looks. Actually like the polycarbonate body, it keeps the weight down, and still solid. In my opinion, the GSIII looks more refined, and it was designed for the the screen to be the focal point, and it is. In addition, one reason besides weight reduction for the polycarbonate body was to reduce signal loss.

That's good. Maybe they learned after that horrible nexus toy. Hopefully Samsung steps up their **** because I may be forced to get one if the communist assholes at Apple keep filing BS lawsuits against htc. I'll keep my fingers crossed so I never have to buy a Samsung phone

Lte works with qualcomm's quad core because it has the integrated lte radio, like the dual core s4.

so i'm assuming your replacement phone arrived? anyway, what's the word on the ROM development over there on the SGIII? was looking for AOKP or CM9 and don't set them. are their plans that you know of?

Had to return the S3
I pre-ordered the S3 and had to return it because of poor signal quality. I was upgrading from an Evo 4g and the S3 wouldn't work in some of the places I live and work. The S3 is phenomenal, but it constantly dropped calls or was roaming where I never had issues before. The FTC has mandated that phone manufacturers limit the antennae strength, so I couldn't see how this would improve. So I am back to my Evo and sorry I couldn't make the S3 work for me...

I've read good reviews about the Samsung Galaxy S 3,i was thinking of upgrading to the LTE,but i'm not hearing anything good about it,so i might be going for the Galaxy myself.

Yah the LTE is no good for chronic rom flashers, as the battery is non- removable. The s3 sounds really good and the reviews back that up. I am just wondering if I buy the s3 if it will have as much rom support at the og evo. Also the plastic, no matter how high quality(polycarbonate), is just a little cheap looking.
