no.. they dont have ics update.. but they have the upgrade pack (with ics features like face unlock)

Not good enough. Running on stock GB means only 1 thing. Lag.

So you guys have get over the shiny speaker grill beside the camera already?

S3 is confirmed to be released in EARLY JUNE 2012 in MALAYSIA by Samsung's Regional Director for South-east Asia

just hope it will be early such as 1-5 june

I found that the due date for stock availability for S3 accessories in Expansys Singapore is expected on 5th June, I guess that will give some clue on the release date

ala... MY sammy and SG sammy, lets release it together together loooo neighbour country

would suggest you to get Sandisk as price gap is getting closer between Kingmax and Sandisk

Don't know why these values are so bad on sgs3 compared to hox.



Benchmark Pi measures the unit's computing capability, which provides a measure of processor performance. Lower is better. Despite our repeated testing torque on several occasions, we received never a better value than slightly above 600 ms, which in other words is worse than Galaxy II performs.



M3D Benchmark based on the popular game engine Unitiy 3D and shows off a 3D environment with a very large number of polygons. An advanced physics engine ensures that the processor cores also allowed to work.

One X is undeniably the feet of the M3D. Galaxy III position themselves between the Galaxy and Galaxy Note Nexus.

benchmark softwares are still.......softwares afterall

some are optimized for certain hardwares and vise versa



in other benchmark software you can find that the sgs 3 have an edge over the hox

Yeah maybe but benchmark pi's sgs2's exynos reading is better than sgs3's exynos.

The only variable is Android version. Hmmm...

still in early firmware perhaps?

If by official means you can only get half baked ICS then by using custom roms, maximum you can get is suku masak..!! Cyanogen can never fully utilised ICS no matter what. There are bound to be something not working. Have tried CM on both SGS and SGS2 before and both times the result was the same.
But still..better ada than takde langsung :-))
Anyway... what i really meant was hardware limitations and NOT firmware limitations :-P

hi guys... though i have no real interest in S3, but every now and then, i do see remark by people that "quad core, etc not very useful since apps dun utilise all quad core".

actually, how accurate is such statement? must there be specific coding by the dev to utilise all cores? or is this something that the OS will handle instead?

honestly, i've been hearing this statement since dual core came out and i won't be surprised if the same is said when we have 8 cores, 16 cores, etc...

yes u can say so. the codes in the program itself need to instruct the program to utilise other threads available in the processor otherwise it will just run only on one core.

but i think for modern software and apps, they ady embedded codes to fully utilise any available cores. i will leave this to the IT experts to add on.

Of course utilization won't be 100% like what original ROM can provide. Cone to think of it, I have no complain on Teamhacksung's CM9. Aside from the obvious 3g video call won't work and it doesn't come with FM Radio app (a friendly forummer suggested a workable FM Radio app, but I never managed to configure it to work for my CM9).

That about all that doesn't work for the custom ROM. Which I believe is a very good trade against full working but not quite workable original ROM. Why I said like that? Because stock ROM lags like hell in less than 1 month down the road. People with SGS + WhatsApp would understand the pain. Even with ext4 lag fix, it doesn't fix the problem. Not to mention it take ages to load the camera app.

Too many to write here. Anyway, no point complaining as I don't have the phone anymore. Those that flashed to Value Pack, did they fixed the lag?

PS: I bet the hardware limitation that Sammy mentioned was to run their bloated TW.

Actually the design is not bad at all, but the finger print on the back cover and the screen

kasi spoiler la masa quote orang lain punya picture!!!

http://samsung.suggestionbox.com/ Anyone tried using it? Curious if it is not officially created by Samsung.

so far so good. too bad iphone5 is so far away. i can't wait so long for iphone 5. i'm sure iphone5 is stealing everything from samsung and adding some of its own. well that is how technology is. u be doomed if u always wait for something better.
