GS3 threads here and there, lets add this to the mix.
Personally I'm eligible for an upgrade now. My expectations were to upgrade from S2 to S3. After the announcement I'm left wondering to buy or not to buy?
IMO breakdown:
It's S3 (feels like going from iphone 4 to 4s).
NFC on sprint (matching competition)
Processor (although not clear, most likely match of inches)
Screen/display (matching to behind competition)
Camera (not clear of quality improvement over S2)
Everything else pretty much matching competition.
What I was hoping for (to blast past others):
2ghz quadcore or similar
2gb ram
12mp camera with better/improved lense
Thinner to match the thinnest
Better screen display / resolution
Close to zero side beasal/ edge to edge screen
I feel like Samsung is wrong in this instance of copying apple with the idea of iphone 4 then 4s. Because, there is no iphone competition or choices. Samsung's reputation IMO is on the bottom of the list... (a) released s2 on sprint with bugs, los, charging problems and it took them MONTHS to fix/ release an update. ICS still coming soon 6months later. TW is not pretty.
Now don't get me wrong, I like my S2. The question is $500 to spend on s3 to get nfc and processor to load an app in 1sec vs 1.5 secs? The software will most likely be ported to s2.
After purchasing the ASUS transformer prime, I realized what excellent product support really means (3 updates within days/weeks to squash bugs, ics within a month, no failed promises). ASUS is as sexy if not sexier thanSamsung.
Overall, I went from 100% purchase of s3 to WAIT and see Asus phone, evo 4g lte, etc...
Not too impressed, I'll see what will be available by release date and if waiting few months to get siik with another phone, i'll definitely be waiting...
If you disagree, that's great. If you can't wait to buy, great. If you hate me, thats cool. BUT. lets be honest, it didn't blow me away in any way or squash the competition.

You're basing your decision on the international version, when sprints variant hasn't even been announced yet. Sprints is coming towards the end of the year. Q3 Samsung will have the quadcore a15 exynos with integrated LTE chip, meaning the sprint variant will most likely be sporting the exynos once again and a far superior processor to anything on the market at 1.5ghz 28nm quadcore SoC with Mali 600 gpu and integrated LTE

Keep dreaming. No way they'll release it with a quad-core A15 Exynos. Maybe a dual-core A15, but a quad-core A15 is almost too insane to comprehend. Worthy of a new phone in itself. I'd bet on a dual-core S4 or Exynos with LTE.

That's some wishful thinking right there... they said US variants are launching in June so most likely we'll see it with an S4 and some minor Sprint mods.

Oh god quad core A15 LTE will make me absolutely die not to mention sprint is always in front of everybody in specs and idk it might be possible to cause a big wave them bring in the higher end of a high end phone but hey I can pray ^^

I heard sprints version isn't coming out til Q4 and the quad core a15 exynos with integrated LTE is supposed to be ready Q3 so its a possibility, just like sprint got the better processor for the ET4G, USA GSM launch is mid to late summer but cdma(sprint) is rumored to be sept-dec launch again. I'm not gonna be upgrading til around then anyways and I'm waiting to see what the next nexus has to offer. LTE hits my area in the phase 2 rollout later this year and early December my 3rd line will be upgrade eligible so ill have 3 upgrades and I'm gonna hold on to my et4g til then since LTE will be available in my area. The one thing I do know is I won't be getting an HTC, I'm boycotting them for their BS unlock which is still locked out. Especially now that instead of the "unlocked" water mark you get a big fat ****TAMPERED**** watermark when you unlock your bootloader. And htcdev unlock is pretty much worthless because you can't do a whole hell of a lot after unlocking without being tied to a PC

Maybe not - Rumors from Japan are that the S. Korea and Japan devices - due out at the end of the month - may have the quad + LTE. And given Sammy's home country status I'd tend to believe that S. Korea would get it first - Japan second due to its proximity and potential customer base.
The device in question - reportedly DoCoMo SC-06D - has already been benchmarked and approved by Japan's version of the FCC. So we'll see if it's really the GS3 or not soon enough.
If its not for the wishful thinking, the GS3 is not worth the super hype. Too bad.
I will have to wait and see what sprint comes up with for their version. I'm not too impressed so far. This will be the first time I can remember that I will probably pass on the newest high end phone sprint releases.
I might as well get it anyways

Either way I'm not changing until next summer - will even have the missus hold off if she can. Next device will be LTE; based on how long it took our MVNO to get the E4GT (March) I'm guessing the S3 right around upgrade time next summer. That is if we stay with them....
....iphone 4s...
....Kyocera echo.......
....galaxy s3........
Bummer
It's my phone...any mis takes...sry
Very disappointed. I thought it was gonna blow the GS2 away but instead is like a GS2 Service pack 1. With that being said....I still have hope for sprint version, they always make their different from others.
Cheers from Japan!
When I first heard about the S3, I thought, finally a quad-core! Can't wait till it hits Japan! I was sooooo hyped because we usually get the cream of the crop here like with the S2 with the exynos dual-core, super amoled screen, mali-400 gpu and what not. But then I found out we are NOT getting the quad-core and getting a 1.5Ghz dual-core which really burst my bubble. Was sooo sad when I FIRST found out about that.
Then I did a little research if you can call it that, on the specs of the Japanese version of the S3.
Well what do you know! Japanese version is getting the msm8960 SoC (S4) which to my surprise, spec wise, is the most powerful chip in the smartphone market! Benchmarks and whatnot show it leaves everything else in the dust like a bugatti veyron racing a nissan micra! WTF?!? ...... Dual-core??? LOL
On top of that, the Japanese version is getting 2 Gigs of ram with 32 Gigs rom.
Woooohoooo! Can't wait till the bomb drops!!! (No pun intended) hehehe I'm totally lovin my S2, Gtab 7 is ok, Gtab 10.1 Lte is ........... alright.
Sorry 'bout goin krayzee but the dual-core just might be alright afterall!
On another note, the first released S3 has the exynos 4212 quad. The Japanese S2 has the exynos 4210 dual. Pin-to-pin is the supposed to be the same.
Anyone think a 4212 in an S2 is doable? I know that some kind of syncing software is needed but what bout the kernel, etc.?
Any opinions?

Just curious, have the docomo employees started to hint at a release date? I have a relative itching to get this since she refused to get the SC-02B (another immediate relative had it, can't be the same...)
I love the S2. Will not be getting the S3 though unless it really amazes me in hand (highly doubtful). When the S3 was announced I realized what really matters to me in a high end smartphone is screen and build quality. Pentile display?? You gotta be kidding me. I think the S2 display is better looking than the S3. Why would you skimp on display quality? That is literally the most distinctive and used aspect of any smartphone. Oh and also the build design look atrocious. 2011 = IPhone 4s vs S2 2012 = HTC One X vs IPhone 5 Welcome back HTC. Dont know what the hell happened to ya last year, back just in time though. This is all IMO exept S3 screen, it really does look like crap (fact).

Every review I've read puts the HTC one above the sgs3, even if only slightly. Coworker has the att version and its awesome. Think I'm going to hold off till the jelly bean phones though. I'm really happy with this phone and it runs ics great.
I'll see what the sgs4 looks like compared to what else is out next summer/fall.
plus, with lte still it its baby-stages, I don't want to give up my wimax phone yet. there's no 4g around my house but there is around work
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
ya if I lived in a Wimax area I would be hesitant to give up a 4g phone as well. But I don't and Im taking sprints LTE roll out very lighty after the promises of 4g in are area for 2+ years and no delivery. On sprint s website they claim to have 4g in Omaha...but they do not have it anywhere here. Flat out liers! Thats why im jumping ship to At&t, I dont care about umlimited data, sprint will pull it once they roll out LTE everywhere. On a side note if you want out of a sprint contract etf free just flash a VZW prl and roam your ass off ;P

Sgs3 will be available on sprint by the summer. To sucker in the upgrades. In the winter (Q4) before x-mas is when Samsung unveils new quadcore lte on their new flagship nexus phone. Yes, it will have jelly bean out of the box. Sprint will get it as will verizon & at&t. I will be visiting some of you in the sgs3 forum to see how your jelly bean leaks are panning out!

To bad the nexus has always been almost the exact same thing as the S models. Wishful thinking though. Dont get me wrong that would be tight but I HIGHLY doubt it. hopefully sprint wont get it 3 months before the S4 drops like last nexus and the s3

I've owned a Vibrant, and in a word, YES.
It is the best upgrade I've ever done. You will notice a difference.
The t-mobile sgs2 is nothing like the international sgs2, its more like the htc sensation, same soc.
Aka slower and no international roms will work on it.

True story...androidcentral did a hands on and said that there were no noticable differences between the phones. I am not a fan of benchmarks, but it did score higher in a side by side comparison as well.

Exynos Chipset is much smoother when it comes to GPU performance. Hence, why the Tmobile version sucks.

"The phone is snappy as hell, like we expect a Galaxy S II to be. All doubt about the Snapdragon processor needs to be put to rest, because you would never know the internals are different between this one and the rest.

i just sold my sensation and my g2x and jumped to this phone. trust me when i say i never had any issues with 3d games on the sensation. and i don't expect to have any reason to believe i will have any issues on the SGSII from t-mobile. especially once the devs roll up their sleeves and tweak everything.

I don't understand why you even did any of that....The Snapdragon S3 is in the Sensation/EVO3D, but is now in the TMO SGSII, you basically got the same phone again but was ripped off...The S3 in the SGSII+maze4G are OC'd to 1.5GHz, this can be done on Sensation, making the SGSII the same as AMAZE, excluding the AMOLED and WVGA....The Sensation has qHD+SLCD which are inferior, but not worth the selling of the G2X+Sensation for a SGSII. The Normal SGSII's Exynos is @1.2GHz and reaches the S3 @1.5GHz....IF you OC the Exynos it will exceed the S3 overall....Now the Exynos's GPU is more advanced than the Adreno 220, Samsung produces better GPUs, while Qualcomm makes better CPUs on their SoCs. And Qualcomm specializes in better floating point scores, just try Linpack, calculations are faster with Qual. Sorry about this messy post, was rushing.

i got the G2x for free. then sold it for 150. i got the sensation for free. then sold it for 350. prior to both of these phones i had the Vibrant and Galaxy S 4G. i miss the lightweight and slender feel that the sensation could not give me. the g2x is an nvidia chipset. nvidia desktop video cards have been running hot in the recent past and the G2x was plagued by the same issue. that sucker could fry some eggs when i pushed it. so basically i'm gaining the feel and bright screen that i've missed and making 500 bucks on two items i paid nothing for. make sense?
The T-Mobile version doesn' suck.
Personally, I'm excited to upgrade my SGS4g to the SGSII
And OP, if you need to ask... lol Jk, but honestly you should slap yourself for even needing to ask...
1Ghz Single Core vs 1.5GHz Dual Core
3g Vs 4g (With T-mo's most powerful radio yet rated 42mbps - actual PEAK speeds are touted as 22mbps with averages from 8-12)
Do I need to keep going or are you convinced yet?
ok convinced... i only qualify for partial upgrade online its a $350 will this be the same price at a retailer? and do retailer have it already?

This phone is definitively a beat, but $350 is a little bit pricey for me. I don't know what you think, but if i was you (early update), i will buy this phone from craigslist/ebay rather than from tmobile. You probably pay around $400-$450, or might get it under $400 if you are lucky. Of course,you pay a little bit more , but you dont have to stick with tmobile for another 2 years. I'll only buy phones from tmobile + 2 year contract if i get fully discount price.
I'll be getting this Wednesday if everything works out right and I can buy it in the store. Finally free of this Nexus S!!
retailers have it already??
I'm on AT&T and wanting a new phone. The GNex is rumored to drop for AT&T any day now with Sprint getting it on 4/22. I've been planning on making that my next phone for a while now, was just waiting for AT&T get it. Then I started hearing these rumors about the GS3 being out as soon as the end of April, latest being end of May. Don't know how much weight that holds, but if it were true, should I wait it out and go for the GS3? Or just go with the GNex when it comes out?
S3 announcement is supposed to be may 5th in London (from memory, an event was announced a few days ago- its definitely early may though) so that's at least June before its in stores.

not only at least june before it hits stores but at least june before it hits stores in the UK america is seriously lacking when it comes to new Galaxy devices the GS2 was what.. like 6 months old when it finally launched in america? Not to mention we got the **** end of the stick with a phone that had a completely different chipset..
Wait the announcement of the s3 and see if the s3 is better than the nexus and if you can wait, wait !

Some of the rumors I heard said that Samsung was going to try and emulate Apple's strategy and have the phone globally available immediately after the announcement. And that it's going to have 1.5GHz Exynos 4412 quad-core CPU (Samsung's Cortex A9) and 4.8" 1080p Super AMOLED Plus. Others said it's just going to be what the iPhone 4s was to the to iPhone 4 in relation to the S2. I don't know what to believe anymore.
Does anyone know when the GNex is actually going to release for AT&T?

I'll be waiting till may 5th if its not day one in america or shortly there after I will be buying Gnex for sprint. Also the original S2 had exynos processor but the american version didn't =[
Yeah, I guess that's my plan, too. Wait for the launch and see what it actually releases as and then make the decision.
The Galaxy Nexus is OFFICIALLY for sale on Google Play either thru the app or online for GSM customers, i.e. Tmo and ATT The 16gb version. No biggie
I was excited and still like the phone, although from Day one when I got my Tmo Galaxy S2 (which I love) some bloggers, I forget said that the hardware on the GS2 I have is better than the Nexus
Prolly true so I have to decide do I want pure Google NOW and also ICS NOW OR Wait for ICS to come to the GS2 I have OR wait for the next GS3?
Idk. between the current Tmo GS2 and the Nexus, is it worth it spending an hour or less coming up with an ebay ad to sell, then order it??

Anyway if you're trying to decide between a sgii or a galaxy nexus. Everyone here is going to tell you to go nexus route mostly because of the great developer support it carries and the priority it gets when it comes to google updates.

Thank You. Gave you thanks
So iyho, if it is no problem to sell the GS2 I already have to get the newly available GSM from Google, then go ahead and do it even if the newest Galaxy will be out 3-6 months from now. (keeping in mind that I don't mind getting a new phone soon after) In other words, the perks of pure google and ICS are worth it--better sooner than later.
Thanks again
Anyone have an opinion on the HTC One X? That is also one of my choices.

I haven't personally used one yet, but the general reviews all say the same thing: fantastic looking, powerful phone. Unfortunately battery life is mediocre and Sense 4.0 is a little wonky.
Personally I'd grab a GNexus or wait for the next Galaxy phone. The Nexus is plenty powerful, VERY simple to mod, and you can expand the battery with almost zero additional size to the phone.
Lately Samsung hardware is the hardware to beat. They're on a serious roll with their mobile devices.
May is only several days away. I'd wait for the Galaxy announcement and release date. You can make your mind up then. I just think it would be silly to buy a One X or a GNexus before seeing what is happening with the GSIII. Waiting a month for what could be a killer phone is worth it considering how many years you'll likely be using whatever you buy.
Personally I decided to pick up a galaxy nexus last week and have been absolutely thrilled. This is my first nexus device and I can't believe how nice stock Android is. Hardware wise, it doesn't get much better than the gnex and probably won't for a while. Quad cores are cool, but do they matter? The gnex does everything and you'll never have to worry about waiting for updates to the newest version of Android. Even the nexus one which is 2 years old runs 4.0.4 without issue, whereas much newer phones like the RAZR are stuck on gingerbread. I think the hardware is good enough at this point that the software is really what limits you. Just my $0.02.

IMO Gnex for sure or wait on the next Nexus! Nexus phones always will have better developer support due to the nature and openness of the device and ASOP. For me at least that is the deciding factor.
It depends on how much you are ready to spend. Right now, the G Nex is $440.
When the Galaxy S III comes out, it will be about 700$. You will have to wait a while for the price to come down, and by then we'll have the next Nexus device.
Moreover, having the G Nex means you will have the next Android version sooner than Galaxy S III.
But if raw hardware power is what you are looking for and money isn't much of a concern, Galaxy S III is the device for you.
The gnex is actually now $400 straight from Google For what you're getting, I think that's a steal.

Sounds like the S3 is going to be pretty BA.
GNex is at the top of my list. I still want to wait and see what the GS3 has to offer, though.
I didn't want to update to the S3 b/c they made it a dual core phone in America. So I'm waiting for a quad core or better upgrade to the GalaxyS2.
get the note 2! it's quad core.
Note 2 will be next phone
Prolly the s4 but ill play the note 2 to see if I like it.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
I agree with you, the S3 is a nice phone but not a huge upgrade from this phone unless you are in one of those few areas with lte already. Note2 is too big for me. I think the Nokia Windows 8 phones are nice, wonder if they will go Android in the future as well. Heck Windows 8 may end up being awesome. Android can be frustrating at times.
I think I'll be speaking for a lot of people in a wimax market / non wimax market without network vision coming in till next year...
Not upgrading until LTE + NV upgrades improve data speeds.
SO probably not till the S4 or any other highly competitive / powerful phone next summer when network vision is going to hit or will hit the majority of the sprint network along with 800mhz + clearwire TD LTE 2.5-2.6ghz starting to become active.
I'll skip the S3 since I really don't see much of a Diff from my S2 to warrant an upgrade at this time. Bring on the S4!!! LOL
I'll probably wait til the s4. The feature I'm waiting for the most is the camera. I want faster focus and burst shot, and last but certainly not least, a lens that is MUCH better in low light. It has to be equal or better than the iphone 5's.
I agree, buying a LTE phone that doesn't support 800mhz LTE band is pretty dumb.

Ill be either going with the note 2 or the LG optimus g(next nexus) the optimus on sprint is 4.7" true HD IPS screen with 1280x768 resolution snapdragon s4 pro 1.5ghz quad core, 2gb ram, 13mp rear cam, 1.3mp ffc, 2100mah battery. Specs are close to the note 2 minus the smaller screen and the note 2 has a 3100mah battery, otherwise the specs are pretty close. Google's new nexus affiliate program looks like we may have a plethora of nexus phones to choose from, they just have to meet minimum hardware requirements and have any 3rd party UIs or apps as a separate install thru a theme manager, so it ships with aosp and then u can choose to add sense, TWiz, blur etc.

The nexus is apparently shipping on android 4.2, however it is still unknown if 4.2 is a JellyBean update or if it will be Key Lime Pie, as quickly after JB was released to the nexus release I'm guessing 4.2 is going to just be an update to JB to add the stylus function and a few other new functions to aosp that were previously manufacturer specific(included in 3rd party UIs) to allow for the nexus affiliate program to move forward and the UIs just needing the launcher/Widgets/apps installed instead of an entire rom needing to be flashed through the system manager

There are rumors that around 25 nexus branded devices from the new program will be available between now and q1 of 2013, some phones, some tablets and some media devices. I'm hoping they make a nexus version of the note 2 since it meets the spec requirements it would only need an aosp version to qualify for the nexus branding

this, exactly.
i get a new device every year (at a minimum), as a rule. i was an htc fan for some time, but (coming from the EVO) the evo3d just did not impress at all, so jumped to sammy this year, with a bit of hesitation. no real regrets so far...
but so far this year, the GS3 seems a nice bump, but not a true step forward.
the HTC X series seems nice (for HW reasons), as a possibility, or possibly the Note 2.
but nothing i've seen in the last few months really grabs my balls and demands attention.

You sound like me. I dropped that Evo3d ASAP and got a GS2 though. Prior to that I had an Evo 4g Touch pro 2, Touch Pro, Mogul, Apache me and HTC went way back, but the Sprint S2 killed that love in a blink of an eye. Straight Talk and my S3 killed my love for Sprint....Pending LTE deployment in my neck of the woods. I am in love with this S3. At first I had bad experiences with the battery life, but after I installed the XDA battery life fix I get battery well over 10 hours and in emergency situations I have seen it get over a day worth of battery life with the screen using 3 hours of that time.
Im definitely waiting on the S4. I just hope that the battery life will match my current device the s3. Hoping there is a15 quad core upgraded GFX and the jaw dropping 3gb of ram. Only thing I am worried about is flash compatibility. That was one of my main reasons
I'm waiting on something noticeably better when it comes to specs and build quality. My contract was up 2 months ago, but theirs nothing out there worthy of upgrading to. The Optimus G looks good spec wise, but the build quality is questionable. I'm hoping HTC gets their act together and continues improving their uni body designs.
So what is the deal with the launch! I have heard and read many articles about tomorrow but non with details on the launch.
Who is going to be there tomorrow?
Is this going to be indoors/outdoors on the big screen or what?
Let me know what you think.

It's called an "embargo". That's when Samsung promises that news media will get all the juicy bits and details, but nothing must be officially released until Samsung "lifts" that embargo.
Unfortunately, it's not clear what is allowed, so even "who's who list" will not be announced until the embargo is lifted.
There's a Chinese news site that blasted through the embargo, I'm sure that Samsung will sanction them with much less news in the future. But that is just their evaluation phone, nothing to do about the launch it's self, nor the Tim Cook look alike they've hired to spoof the iPhone in comparison.. (wait, didn't say that. Nothing to see here folks)... :silly:

Wow! I'm actually impressed. Unfortunately you had to wade through a lot of showmanship to get the features, but it was entertaining.
Simply put, it's changing the rules for the next generation of Smartphones.
The addition of 8 sensors to the phone rule out some of the features being back ported to the S3's we have. But still the answer is easy. I want one! :good:

I agree, the device is insane but they did not say if the US was getting a different processor variant than the international version, instead all 155 countries would get to he device at the same time at the end of April 2013.

you guys think they'll give us U.S GS3 users an update that will give us most (if not all) of the software features of the Galaxy S 4 like they did for the Galaxy S II?
i sure hope so..lol

The specs list shows a 1.9 GHz Quad-Core Processor / 1.6 GHz Octa-Core Processor. The selection of processor will be differed by markets. The touchscreen also works while wearing gloves.

I'm going to be seriously pissed off if they pull a Qualcomm stunt for the US version again. Seems like that is exactly what they are doing though. I wish they would just give GSM pentaband and Exynos and through CDMA to the wolves...
A lot of the features probably wouldn't work on Qualcomm chips... I seriously doubt the 600 could keep up.
Pretty similar to the s3 just obvious improvements with the hardware. I think us gs3 users are not as impressed but what you expect to since the s3 was soo good what can come after that to impress again, the s3 put the bar so high the s4 is just a minimal update. I still don't believe android is ready for these quad core, octa-core processors.

I think its pretty much confirmed that Samsung is going to launch a Qualcomm chip here. At the end of the video it says nothing about AWS connectivity for HSPA+ *sigh* I will wait until the 800 is commercially available and see what launches then.
While it may not be a huge software upgrade, I sure would love to have the new hardware... The LPDDR3 alone is going to blow everything else away.
EDIT: Confirmed... 1.9GHz Snapdragon Fusion Pro.

The 600 is no slouch but yes, we get the shaft again. Especially on T-Mobile since we can not even use it on the AWS band. at&t users at least have the option of buying unlocked.
Interestingly enough, the US launch partners are at&t, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, Cricket, and U.S. Cellular. I think that's a first - Cricket getting the best of the best on launch! Their "pay 1000 dollars for a 600 dollar device" program must be being successful much like T-Mobiles Value Plan device installments have been.
I am going to pass for now. I don't mind Snapdragon chips but they get hot and they suck a lot of power.
Honestly if CDMA was dead, I bet Samsung would make an Exynos for the US but releasing two different processor models in a single market would not only piss off consumers but carriers as well. I don't ever see Samsung licensing CDMA from Qualcomm when they can just get an SoC from them instead. I think we need to be more pissed at Qualcomm for their monopoly stranglehold and their slow development of high end chips. We won't see Samsung chips until Qualcomm is brought down a few notches.

Actually its still up in the air as it says the pro fusion OR octocore on the sheet, I believe they may go the lessor route as well though as it seems to be the trend of past desisions but its not like there's any other carrier producing better than the pro anyways. Only Samsung put the 8 core out there to begin with and yes if you wait another year sure 25 other devices will be in the mix but that's what the game is and that's not gonna make a difference because there will always be a let down no matter what company is in the hot seat but is it the fact we may not get the octo over the pro which HTC is using the 600 in the One they just released and swear by really a huge let down? If they said the screen was gonna be more like the GS3 that would break the deal since they bragged about 1080.
Seny from the one and only GS3.

Not really since there's not much difference only slightly bigger screen and quad core all features are most likely to be ported to the s3.

I've heard that it has less to do with their marketing and more to do with the limitations put on by either US carriers or the US chip manufacturers. I can't find the sources right now but I seriously doubt Samsung wants to make multiple versions of the same phone (it'd be much more to their advantage to make one version en masse rather than a few different ones).

I think it had to do with the chipsets used in each and the different networks here in the states.
And it's really not a matter of whether they want to or not, as I'm sure that they would rather only support one phone as its more effective and cost-efficient because the software and hardware developments would be made once and then distributed to ALL Samsung Xxxx phones. As topherk said, it's probably due to limitations set either by the carriers, or maybe even by the FCC.
And I'm sure you're not the first, or the last, to complain about the more minimalistic approach when it comes to Samsung releasing a phone for the states versus the international version of the same phone.
no because I enjoy my S3's 3G/4G SVDO capabilities meaning using data/phone at sametime and the S4 can only do this with 4G.....so hope the S5 has 3G and 4G SVDO..... must say the S4 hardware looks nice

this is a reason for me as well. it seems the u.s. gets a crappier version of the phone that is released internationally.i t may have to be due to carrier restrictions, politics, etc. either way it does not make me a happy consumer.

That last comment is ridiculous, I had an Epic 4g while it was an amazing phone it doesn't even compare to the S3. My data and connection on the S3 is amazing.
