Isn't the thinking the NA version of the GS3 will not be able to use the quad core Exynos due to lack of LTE on that SoC? A lot of people seem to supect a Snapdragon CPU will be used in the NA GS3, presumably the S4.
Yes, that's the consensus so far. It came from an unnamed samsung executive (for all we know the janitor) and was reported by the Korea times. Other executives said, also according to the Korea times, that the two new exynos chips have their own lte onboard, which I suppose is true, but they forgot to mention it doesn't include the frequencies US carriers use. One executive said that the gs3 might be launched in April, he was obviously wrong. So for all intends and purposes, besides the exynos 4412 being in the international version of the gs3, we really know nothing yet. Just a few more days.... And I hope we will hear about the US versions as well, we should, if this is really going to be a global launch.
