There has already been a debate about this issue with the G-Note on Amazon ( Which has it for only $500 bucks! ) and it was comfirm by Amazon that it does come with a 1yr warranty if supplied by them.. I am sure the SIII would be no different.. But you really need to decide what you are primary going to do with the phone.. In my case I could care less about 4G away from home.. Wi-Fi gets all my movies downloads etc.. And Verizon's 3G plays netflix fine for me.. I would want the Quad / Mali-400 for it gaming capabilities.. I believe it was Anand that did the gaming test with Egypt's 2.1 HD Benchmark putting the Quad / Mali
ahead of even the Previous Leader the Iphone ( which lead by 25 points over the S4 in the AT&T OneX ) by like another 8 points Anand proclaimed it the Fastest GPU they have ever tested.. So, It really comes down to what you are going to do with the phone.. For me the Exynos / Mali-400 combo would be too exotic for me to pass up..
