I'm really curious to find out the difference between exynos/mail and the adreno/1.5ghz. If anyone had chance to compare them CRITICALLY (since they would both fly imo lol) could you share your opinions? Thnks!

I have both and to me TGS2 is faster and feels better.

I have both this and a Sprint Galaxy S2 with the same Exynos/Mali is the international, and they seem fairly comparable.
I haven't noticed a big speed difference anywhere in day-to-day use in the few days that I've had both.

In the couple of days I've had both, I haven't been able to notice any consistent difference in anything except benchmarks. They really seem pretty similar.

Thank you couple more questions! Does the hercules have korean as a language option? And which of the 2 sgs2 do you reckon has a better sound output through headphones? I'm trying to find out whether it has wolfson or yamaha dac lol

I'm pretty sure all Galaxy S2 use the inferior Yamaha DAC. You'll have to go another manufacturer or last-gen to get Wolfson as far as I know.
I can't check for you on stock on language, but my Hercules running Juggernaut has Korean as a language option.

Really, that sounds interesting. You got a link?
If one of them would have it, it should really be ours, which is a real oddball in the family.

Well it's not our phone that has the superior audio chip, we've got the Yamaha chip as anadtech.com had a review that tested the specs of this vs the Wolfson.

That's for the international Galaxy S2. I don't think Anandtech reviewed the T-Mobile.

There is no support for voodoo sound in the kernel, yet
hope it gets incorperated soon
Does anyone know if this has the same Wolfson sound chip in it as the Nexus S, so the voodoo sound quality will equal the Nexus S?

I don't think it has the same hardware, but I really couldn't find an answer here: http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/20/behind-the-glass-a-detailed-tour-inside-the-samsung-galaxy-nexu/
I'm very interested in this myself. It would be real nice if voodoo can be implemented.

Its a TI DAC , not Wolfson.

even though it's not wolfson, the ti dac in the galaxy nexus is also supposed to be quite good. though personally i'm more interested in voodoo colour
As someone mentioned on IRC, this is really quite simple.
Just buy Supercurio one of these babies and it will be up in less than a weekend

I'm really disappointed from the latest "trend" to have different hardware on the same phone.

Does anyone have any idea what the DAC of the model with the S4 Pro is seeing as the new Nexus device will more than likely have the same DAC?

What if it's a Wolfson chip? :drool:
what a coincidence.. I've been wondering about this myself.
I sincerely hope it's Wolfson. Although I'm not horribly familiar with DAC's, Wolfson has done my captivate right.
Qualcomm's SOCs use custom DACs made by Qualcomm (the Exynos Galaxy S III had a Wolfson, but the S4 one was Qualcomm made). Apparently, it is pretty decent though http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ne-x-isnt-amazing-at-all-even-by-the-numbers/
Supposedly the Qualcomm one is just as good as Wolfson DACs though.

Maybe so but then will not be voodoo sound compatible. Supercurio only working with Wolfson chips.

He said he was gonna try to get voodoo for the s4 gs3. There's no technical reason that voodoo can't work on qualcomm chips. Supercurio is just more familiar with wolfson.

Don't think it is high priority

I think it's the same Qualcomm WCD9310 that is in US Galaxy S III, Nexus 4, etc. Specs are here:

Perhaps if there was a bounty for him to get an optimus, he would work on it. Maybe we should ask if he'd be into that.

Would not be optimistic (no pun)--I am going with a Note II, coming from a NS4G

@supercurio do you have any expectations for the Nexus 4 audio/screen?

@spr33 Audio I'm not optimistic based on Optimus G measurements (poor SNR and crosstalk), display: conflicting reports so far.

Has Voodoo been released for this?
Never used Yamaha, but will jump on voodoo if it's out for our phones now. used it on my S1 (Fascinate), and love it too much.

Voodoo doesn't work on the GS4. I have the Voodoo Sounds Plus I purchased for another device. Try installing on the GS4 and got "incompatible" message.

That's what I thought. I'm secretly hoping it gets released, but.. not holding my breath.
it wont work on the quad core snapdragon s4 because it doesnt have the right hardware for voodoo only samsung made processors have it
Wolson vs yamaha I beleive does say is a board right and voosoo is just a dsp

Damn. I still carry around my Fascinate (Galaxy S1) because it sounds better than my S4. Was hoping that would be a temporary situation, but apparently not.
