Not only for SGS2G users, non-G also no ICS yet cry.gif

No updates? Don worry, update yourself!! It's easy biggrin.gif Head over to SII's thread to find out.
And I think Samsung will update for you if you bring your phone to them smile.gif

QUOTE(XeactorZ @ May 23 2012, 05:19 PM)
no choice, if want ICS then only way to update it is go SC
*
Excuse me, can I ask why do we need to go SC just to update our phones?

I thought people prefer S2 of lower version, i.e. G-version? They say non-G version overheats...
*
I suppose updating to the latest firmware solves the overheating issue, no? Anyway, still prefer non-g even if it heats laugh.gif

QUOTE(XeactorZ @ May 23 2012, 06:12 PM)
ya agree
so hope samsung know about the case for s2
and won't repeat the same case for s3 already
*
Two doh.gif cases here:
1. They knew the case for SII and expect more productions, but in the end sales shoot up like rockets. Unexpected demand > expected production. G-version all the way~~

2. They knew the case for SII but production site can't keep up. G-version all the way~~

lol dual core only leh
btw, previously wikipedia got stated the exynos code
like s3 using exynos 4412, but now just stated it using exynos 4 quad, don't have the number ~.~
if not mistaken exynos 5450 is 28nm quad core right ?
*
SIII currently uses Exynos Quad core, which is 4412
If they use Exynos Dual core 5250, it'll sweep every phone there in the market.
Exynos Quad 4412 can't even stand up to Exynos Dual 5250, amazing? No. of cores is not the only determining factor. If I'm not mistaken, Exynos 5250 is still using 32nm

QUOTE(CJGun @ May 23 2012, 06:30 PM)
Damn!! I'll arrived at KL on 7th June, will I still get to buy an SIII??  icon_question.gif
Which place should I go?

lol, shld be able to get on 7th June la, not so terrifying till finished so fast eh sweat.gif

ya 5250 using 32nm stated at wikipedia @@
and why sweep every phone in the market if s3 use it ? can explain more details ?
*
5250 is intended for next year's mobile phones although it's in production in Q2 of 2012. Maybe some tablets will use it this year. Err.. 5250's dual core can beat 4412's quad core, need more explanations? rolleyes.gif

QUOTE(takino88 @ May 23 2012, 06:36 PM)
Mayb the other X-version has Exynos 5 then..coz they claim it the high-end version..dont know which quad or dual-core
*
lol.. no la, that X version should be specifically provided for a telco

QUOTE(CJGun @ May 23 2012, 06:38 PM)
notworthy.gif Tq boss, I rarely go KL one. I might try lowyat plaza, heard of this IT plaza alot but never been  there -.-..

So hapi to hear this  biggrin.gif

But you've been to its forum biggrin.gif Once you're in that area, many malls to choose from to buy SIII (provided they do sell so early)

it's not about number of core... 4412 using cortex-a9 architeture while 5450 use a15 which is more advance. look at how qualcomn s4 sweep 4412 in single thread benchmark
*
Wonder how the non-savvy public will react to change of quad to dual next year hmm.gif

Put that aside, who's getting the phone when it's freshly released at the event?

This is one reason. They can't make enough to fulfill demand so they use some other SOC.
Another reason on why they can't keep up is because they are also producing stuff for other companies like Apple.
Samsung Mobile has to bid with other companies to get the production capability from Samsung Semiconductors, if they don't they will be hit with some anti-competitive laws etc. Even though both are owned by Samsung, both subsidiaries can't just go all out and stop producing stuff for other companies, plus they probably make a lot of money making stuff for apple etc. haha.

Straight to the point! notworthy.gif Apple is one of Samsung's biggest customer. Don't think Apple will be using A15, they wanna chunk out more profits by using A9.

Some preorders are more expensive as sellers as exploiting the "needs" of customers of getting the phone.
Customers might think the preorder price is cheaper than the RRP but later they found out it's more expensive then sad.gif

Actually black colour is possible, since samsung said it will launch a "black version" after pebble blue and marble white.

Added on May 23, 2012, 8:05 pm
It should not be "me", it should be "we"  thumbup.gif

maybe the blue looks too black that they put it as black. If black does come, it won't be so fast.
Anyway, it's written as Metallic Blue and Ceramic White on the boxes

Some stuff to share for today. smile.gif

Delay in home button. I think this is obvious from all the review videos on production unit. Gotta wait for next firmware update perhaps?

Benchmark score, probably irrelevant.

People that uses Lotus Notes Traveler, sorry to say, Email app/client in TW4.0 just sucks. Unlike original ICS Email app.

A couple of pano shots. Pano stitching is impressive. It completes in around 2-3 seconds.

I've noticed the delay, especially when using home button out of camera

“An initial test version of S Voice which was found online has been blocked as Samsung Electronics does not want consumers to judge the quality of the voice feature based on a test version. When the product is launched, users of GALAXY S III will be able to fully experience S Voice.”

That's what I wanna highlight. Wonder how full is the experience on SIII laugh.gif

Why?

Eh, can you confirm, SGS3 AP version have locked bootloader or not? I remember my SGS is AP version, I can't go to download mode, managed to go to download mode after send to Samsung Service Centre, but my Samsung Galaxy Ace is Korea version, I can go to download mode easily.
*
That only applies to some SGS released back then where users were unable to enter download mode, but XDA developers were still able to find a workaround. No such problem for SII after that and there won't be for SIII too as Samsung won't lock its bootloader. Just check for download mode before buying smile.gif
