Interesting.
Just one thing...does the SIII not have a quad core processor?

Some models do, some don't. It's a bit confusing. But I'm pretty sure the ones here do.

Only thing you can really go on though with the speed of these phones is going to be benchmarks. Apple claimed 2xcpu and gpu performance increase over 4S which would be astonishing if true. Probably would be more like a bit of this and a bit of that from the correct angle... But still it should be a very powerful processor. I don't think they skimped on high end parts in any way to make the phone.

Seems Mybroadband is like Engadget, iphone gets released and endless articles posted that could have been one, where as an android device gets launched, one article only.

I agree. I must say, it looks fantastic.

Agreed. Actually quite painful. But site bosses want post volumes to drive revenue and iPhone creates the necessary emotion to drive sales... Eh posts...

LTE trials I think have started, I don't think it'll be too long before it gets here.

Hasn't the iPhone 5 gone quad core? The Galaxy is quad for sure... Amazingly factual article we have here!

[sand_man]

Isn't it 800/2600?

LTE is a bit of an enigma.

1800mhz in SA, when it arrives.

Old news perhaps, maybe worth a mention...
