So if the rumors were true about the nexus 5 being "beast" as they claim, the question is will TMO S3 users get the latest N5 ASAP to
replace your current S3 TMO. Cuz for me watching benchmarks on S4,ONE X, etc they are having 20k+ scores on antutu and others benchmarking
apps and seems our smartphone/s looks pretty old right now.

I didn't purchase my S3 for benchies, I purchased it because it's a joy to use and works very well. Just because a new phone is out doesn't mean I'll immediately jump to it. I'll take my time and wait.
Especially with all the different reported phones in the pipeline.
Whudda we got here??

No way. At least not at first. I just got the s3 a little while ago but even if I didn't I still believe the s3 is no doubt in top list and works amazingly well. Plus many new features will continue to be added through updates. But if you want a phone just for best processor then go ahead. But honestly right now I don't believe any app on a phone will actually use a processor with more than 2 cores, feels very unnecessary. Maybe just the android system and MAYBE some hardcore badass games use all cores?

not to mention it will most likely be just like the S3 in regards to, it was announced as a quad core, but by the time the US got it, our retarded butts dumbed it down to a dual core. International version of the S3 is still quad core. So while the S4 boasts 8 cores, we might see the quad core finally for us here in the states!... lol
I do not understand why people care so much about benchmark score to the point they will switch phone and buy it out of their pocket

The reason they switched to a dual-core for the US version is because the international was getting terrible battery life. The S3 battery isn't really big enough to stay charged long on 4 cores. It had nothing to do with "dumbing it down"

HTC Mondarian on the AT&T network
Perhaps a 1.3 ghz CPU?
Snapdragon QSD8650A processor
4.3" screen
I believe an aluminum casing?
If all that is true, then T-mobile can have their HD7. I'd be much happy with this.
More pictures!
Nothing breathtaking but maybe the best looking WP7 device by HTC so far.
Lets hope the rumors of a 1.3GHz Snapdragon processor and a 1400mAh battery is true.

It's funny how people build up unrealistic expectations and then get disappointed.
As Nietzsche once said, hope dies last, I would kill it first.
Thats unrealistic?
Looks like the Samsung Cetus has a 1500mAh battery.
But hey... lets hope it has the same specs as all the others, so we won't get disappointed.
Oh wait!... I have a better idea, lets don't care at all.
I wish I could quote some fancy philosopher here... or do I?
Samsung Cetus i8700 is prob the best looking so far and with really good specs. I just hope a 16GB flavour is offered for that model.

What's the point in hoping when you know already that it'll have the same specs. Don't know about the battery though.

hoping? there are multiple reports out claiming that it will be 1.3, no one is blindly speculating.some people see the cup half full, but I guess you see it as wheats the point of looking?
Whatever. Microsoft said all devices will use the same chip. You can fantasize about those "multiple reports" as much as you like. There have been multiple "leaks" reposting Photoshop renders made by xda members just for fun, with big blogs copypasting things without thinking. Most of these "reports" had the same source.
Of course many of the blogs out there are wrong and start chirping what the one before them said. But no one is blindly predicting or "hoping" something out of reach like a phone with a 3.0 ghz quad core with 1 gb graphics either. Regardless of what microsoft said it is very possible that there will be a phone with more than 1 ghz, possibly even a 1.3 ghz, within the next year.
Next year, sure. Just not at launch. If this Mondrian is launched this "holiday season" it's getting the same chip as others. Easy as that.

Relax, there will be phones with qwertys.
To all you guys on AT&T, just letting you know there is an HTC Android phone available that is nearly identical to the Tilt 2. It is called the HTC Desire Z. It has pretty much the same keyboard as the Tilt 2. The processor is much better too at 800 MHz. Now I know what you're thinking, "Oh but it isn't even a 1GHz processor?" Well, the thing is, this processor is actually underclocked, and runs flawlessly at 1.2 GHz and beyond. The reason for that is because it is a newer type of Snapdragon and is faster than other 1 GHz Snapdragons (like the HD2 for example) running at only 800 MHz. Check this phone out, it's worth it if you want Android native and that HTC keyboard.
Just a quick note, there are a few different versions of the phone, but you need one specific version to work on AT&T 3G. It must be the A7275 version. In other words, it must be from Bell Canada and unlocked. It can be found on ebay as low as $450 without contract. It's been out for a few months, but now down to a fairly reasonable price. Not trying to move you who love your Tilt2 away from it, just some info in case you want a similar device with native Android. Quick shoutout to the XDAndroid developers though, I've used it a lot on my Tilt 2 and it has come so far in these past few months. Great job by all of them.

Nope, but it does have a quirky little mechanism that makes the keyboard come out in a very cool way. It's called the Z-hinge, look it up on youtube, very interesting how the keyboard 'slides' out (although it doesn't really slide).
It has pretty much the same keyboard as the Tilt2 and a teeny bit bigger screen, but much less thickness. The processor is better and is actually underclocked. It runs perfectly at stock speed but is crazy fast when overclocked (overclocking is very stable on this phone). All games work perfectly on it without a hitch graphically. If you liked the possibilites of winmo, you will love the abilities to customize on native android with all the custom ROMs and such.
Who are these guys? and how'd they do it?
I've got set CPU cranked up to 11 (1700 MHz+) Latest Synergy Kernel, 3.6.5 ROM (Domination) and I feel like I'm not even close.

You know, Close to their scores. I don't mean to be a speed queen but I thought we had one of the speediest phones around and then I see mine compared to 380 other people with what appears to be a stock speed version of the same phone I can't help but wonder why mine is slow in comparison.

The Question is ... Do you care about Exynos and synthetic benchmark scores or do you want 4g speed? The Exynos can't do 4g (42meg +) as of yet ..
Is your phone fast enough for you in daily use? <-- This is all that really matters.
Why do people here get so obsessed with benchmark numbers?

I'm most likely going to be getting this phone sometime in the near future and wanted to ask if anyone noticed any niggles or other nonsense that sometimes happens with Samsung Android phones (i.e. roaming notification not caring about no longer displaying the message, GPS issues, etc.)
Just quick reviews, mostly I'm looking for the little things that bug people.
Thanks
Bloatware on Stock ROM. That the Cons.of this phone. Custom ROM and you will sell your TV and your computer. Never posted using the computer after GS3.

+1, had a number of smartphones in the past, this one clearly blows all of my expectations away. The only issue I've had is sporadically losing connectivity to my wifi and I'm not sure if it's something I've loaded or a bug from Samsung/Sprint. My kids have the Evo LTE and Iphone 4S and I wouldn't trade for the world.
The best phone yet IMO, yes the only con I have found is data connectivity every once and awhile. LG8 radio seems better than any other. Been running jellybomb rom, superfast. Fastest phone I've owned so far, and I've had um back to the HTC Hero.

Best phone I've ever owned with regard to... everything. There's a reason it's the hottest-selling phone right now.

Try moving your router as far away from other electronics. As for the phone...I'm really loving it. With an extended battery( Hyperion 4200mah) in it, I'm getting almost two days off charger with 47% still left as I type this.

Its the best choice, my only gripe is maybe that I wanted quad core to dual boot Ubuntu and do my best to ditch all use of laptop or desktop. ...but ..then again despite all the quads having nicer gpus even the a15 based s4krait kinda disappointed next generation I suppose
This is kinda a crappy year for the fact they are transitioning production processes I'm really hoping the next exynos generation skips a15 all together
But yeah long story short ...it beats everything we have in the US market

the bootscreen is fake, and as with leaks specs can faked as well. The GS3 supposedly had a 13MP camera and a 3mp fromt face cam..... but we all know now that isn't the truth

I think the note2 once the gs4 come available will drop in price and would be a Better buy. My girl friend got the note 2 and I play around with her phone often and it's hard going back to my phone with no s pen and smaller screen I know what I'm getting.

Sammobile usually is spot on with info. Looks interesting to say the least.
Honestly I'm not mad about the gs4 not having an exynos processor. If anyone has looked at the power consumption for the dual core a15 soc in the n10 it's crazy high. So I could see why samsung would have a hard time getting it into a phone without it overheating or draining the battery. But the loss of a samoled screen is a little more I interesting. I don't know how true it is bit it could be a huge blow. And seeing some of the flexible displays were 5 inch 1080p versions I don't think it's far fetched to think they can't make one that can work in the s4
Would be awesome if it has a snapdragon
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
I'd take any rumor as of now with a grain of salt. I think Samsung's won the heart of many consumers with their Amoled screen. There's not much wrong with the technology, aside from screen burn in. The colors are so much more vibrant on an Amoled screen than any other.
As for the CPU, that's entirely possible since we've already experienced that with our current device. Wonder what's in store for us this time. Hopefully it's another Qualcomm CPU, since it plays nice with CDMA and EvDo.
