To which group do you belong: Are one of the many who celebrates the announcement of Samsung Galaxy S3′s release in late May? Have you already pre-ordered the smartphone? Or do you find yourself in the critics’ camp, frustrated beyond words by what Samsung is presenting? Whether you are in one group or the other or somewhere in between, it was already clear in advance that we here would get some variation of the Galaxy S3. Japan and the customers of NTT Docomo for example are receiving a version of the S3 that I find rather spectacular.
Unfortunately the Exynos quad core must give way to the dual core. The S4 Snapdragon dual core with 1.5 GHz must now do the work of a quad core. We’ve seen this abandonment many times before with manufacturers who want to ensure LTE functionality, and so it is in this case too. But a dual core is just not enough for this device when Samsung has just doubled the memory to a whopping 2 GB. I think if you gave me a decent dual core and then a LTE said to pack double the RAM, I would rather have the “normal” model instead of the souped up one- provided of course, that I would have usage of the LTE in my region.
Otherwise the device remains the same: the two available colors, screen size, design, etc. remain unchanged even in the NTT Docomo model. What do you say- would you rather forgo the extra features for the quad core?
