Probably both. The Exynos quad can shut off the cores not being used and throttle the active core if the activity doesn't need a lot of power, not sure how S4 works. However the One S and NA One X with S4 seem to have very good battery life (although the sense multitasking debacle has now caused some skepticism).Originally Posted by djemzine
For the international S3, GSMArena reported over 10 hours of continuous video playback, 10 hours of calling, and almost 6 hours of web browsing (on HSPA) in their tests and were impressed with the longevity.
I guess you will have to wait and see for actual comparisons. I would take the non LTE quad one not because of the cores only, but because i don't care for LTE and a low power HSPA radio suffices for me just fine

May 18th, 2012 12:39 PM #265Can't you just root it if you can't stand touchwiz? The other only things I can think of is no pentaband and its ugly shape. Other than that, it's a fine phone. Originally Posted by shaolinmonk

seriously if HTC just did that the one X would kill this thing imo, but they don't have the same following Originally Posted by desidealer49

May 18th, 2012 01:17 PM #267Yep, hence my only option sadly for now. Otherwise the One X would be good. However i am not fond of their aggressive app killing policy and bloated sense. The skins are what make android experience bad for many. Originally Posted by shaolinmonk

Honestly it is blunders like these that me still stay with the old iPhone 4 i have. 32 GB storage and decent enough camera that i have come to rely on it a lot. The nexus is an amazing phone as i have tested and played with it, but the camera is awful compared to even the IP4.Last edited by desidealer49; May 18th, 2012 at 01:23 PM.

I also would have gone for the One X S4 version, BUT I prefer a phone with a micro sd slot so I can expand the storage, plus the SGS III has a bigger battery and from watching those videos, it seems to be pretty good on battery life.
Wonder what LG has up their sleeve, of course no one likes LG :P_______________

The galaxy s3 is barely an upgrade considering there already is a galaxy s2 HD.

Hate me or love me, I already preordered my S III and can't wait to get my hands on it. I know I will get "why waste your money on that crap" but at the end of day, as long as any hater didn't contribute at least a cent into my purchase, I couldn't care less.
