TELUS' Samsung S3 is only dual-core, not quad-core?!

[s.luween]

A friend of mine pointed out that the overseas version of the S3 has a quad-core processor. Meanwhile, TELUS' version is only dual-core. If you were thinking of buying it outright (no term price), you're better off to buy a European model.

You should go read a technical manual. It'll explain why ours is dual core.

Lol. Yeah, depends if you want LTE or not. Also might want to compare benches for s4 and exynos.

Is this a question or a statement?

Besides who has 4 or more concurrent threads going on a mobile device?

but srsly, let's do some reading and research before posting stuff like "get the international version for the quad core instead of the telus one which is only dual core". can u say "LTE"?

I realize you are Newbie, but Thanks for letting us know about your Friends Findings, Like other have mentioned we all know the reason. By the way tell your Friend that Rogers & Bell Version is the same as Telus

Having just picked up the S3 I have to tell you that dual 1.5 GHz cores (with 2GB RAM) is plenty. Remember, not all software is even optimized for 4 cores yet.

I had the HTC Hero beforehand so this thing is an absolute dream :-D

And the dual core S4 is based on the more advanced A15 core, while the Exynos' quads are still A9s.
