Doubt about it, one of the reason Nokia fail long time ago as Nokia put in crappy hardware after the end of N95. Nokia simply use all old hardware spec during beginning of Symbian Touch OS.

hardware specs not.....but for build quality i still believe nokia is the best

Build quality I agree.

THIS.

Specs wise Nokia has always been "meh" lol.

Sifus need to ask freezing apps in Titanium back up is good or adb? Google show a lot of people using adb but some say Titanium does the job, any advise. Thanks.

TB enough.

just to share with others in regards to the status of the variants of the samsung galaxy sIII situation

I would like to see more reviews like this, especially from the LYN community, seeing as in the near future, there will be a new incoming S3 variant coming

i'm not against variants of the S3, but only if these changes give better hardware specs, and also making them available in our local markets, and also being easier to differentiate which one we are getting.

The malaysian market has the international model aka the GT-I9300 i believe.

don't think the global model will be affected by this...

the ones who should worry are those in the US, where different providers got diff models

well based on the s3 international we got, the pros and cons are as follows.



malaysia international s3

pro:
- has quad core cpu (Samsung Exynos 4 Quad @ 1.4 GHz)
- has more storage space support options. 16 / 32 / 64 GB NAND, microSD


con:
- only has 1 GB ram
- HSPA+ 21.1 (Intel XMM6262). meaning that the LTE 4g feature is missing. however considering Malaysia only support hspa to begin with, so it's not like your losing anything based on the current situation, but i consider this a con in regards to future proofing, because when malaysia does have 4g, your device won't have the hardware to support it interesting to note that HSPA+ is capped at 21 Mbit/s network speed, whereas LTE 4g is maxed out at 100 Mbit/s. To put things into perspective, malaysia's unifi 10 mbps = 1.2 Mbit/s, and the unifi 20 mbps is 2.4 Mbit/s. if your interested to know more about hspa + vs lte 4g, then this article over at engadget does a really good job explaining it.


other variants

pro:
- most non international variants have the LTE 4g. the benefits of this is as explained above. however another lyn member did mention that even if your device does have lte 4g, and malaysia does in the future provide 4g, it may not necessarily work because of incompatible hardware. so more research needs to be done in that regard.


cons:
- fewer storage space options. 16 / 32 GB NAND, microSD
- has a dual core cpu ( Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 @ 1.5 GHz). you will need to check the reviews online comparing the cpu benchmark, but i would think that quad core cpu makes processing 1080p/720p much more efficient and better.


there are also physical differences in terms of features such as the screenshot below, but i'm not going to get into that, but if your interested to read more then go to this at&t vs sprint engadget comparison review. The malaysia S3 should look like the one on the right i believe




another thing is the google wallet only found in either the sprint variant, or an unlocked international s3 that is rooted.

If i had to say which variant is the best, i would probably say the south korean SHV-E210K/L/S assuming that the 4g lte would work in malaysia in the future. the only difference between the malaysian and sk version other than the lte 4g, is also that the sk has 2gb vs the malaysian 1gb ram.

however i don't know the price difference between the 2 and that + availability is really what the consumer is going to be looking at seeing the difference between the sk and malaysia version is almost trivial ;x
