Samsung Galaxy S III likely to come in Dual-core and Quad-core flavours:
It’s less than 24 hours since Samsung
broke the news that the next Galaxy would launch with the Quad0core
Exynos processor and already reports are coming in that there is a high probability of a Dual-core version too. It’s no secret that the Nvidia
Tegra 3 Quad-core processor doesn’t play nicely with
LTE networks hence HTC’s decision to opt for a Dual-core
Snapdragon S4 chip for the US model of the
One X. Could it be that Samsung’s latest and greatest chip will also present similar problems?
The Korea Times certainly seems to think so as it recently got a tip-off from an unnamed Samsung exec that whilst the new Exynos chip will be on board internationally, the US model may feature the Snapdragon S4. The mystery exec was quoted as saying
“Samsung plans to release its Galaxy S3 smartphone according to different specification and different markets. For European consumers, it will use 3G and the company’s own quad-core mobile APs, while its own solution that combines LTE, 3G and quad-core mobile APs will be used in the Korean version. But only in the United States, will Samsung use Qualcomm chips.”
I wouldn’t be too hasty about stewing over the lack of Exynos chip in the Galaxy S III (if the rumours are true of course) The Snapdragon S4 has proven on a number of occasions that it’s more than capable of
standing toe-to-toe with the Quad-core giants. Will the choice of chip influence your decision on whether or not you’ll be picking up Samsung’s next uber-phone? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
