This speed & benchmarking,is it just me or does it not really matter unless your playing HD games?? General day to day usage you'd be hard pressed to spot the difference between this and the GS3. Looking at videos,scrolling through menus and home screens just looks the same as before not faster nor slower. Quad Core, Octa Core,Sod Core,Mod Core whatever I still think it's overkill. Dual Core is enough imo if the OS is right.

Because this is a Samsung Galaxy S3S thread, I won't go too off-topic, but it has to be said: Samsung, and pretty much every OEM except Sony, only care about their high-end products. Sony gave its entire 2011 line ICS (except the Play), most of its 2012 line will get jellybean (including a low-end) and in 2013, the first phone available with 4.2.2 will be a Sony.
Wrong!
Unfortunately, Sony Mobile confirmed that a number of lower-end Xperia handsets will not be updated to Jelly Bean. This includes the Xperia U, Xperia sola, Xperia miro and Xperia tipo.
And knowing how buggy and half-baked their ICS update for the 2011 Xperias was, I wouldn't call it update at all. It's nothing more than a
downgrade for the entire 2011 portfolio. It's not something to be proud of.
EDIT:

Yep, Sony doesn't care about its flagship at all. Look at the Xperia Arc/ S and its shitty ICS downgrade, Xperia S, still waiting for Android 4.1, or the Xperia Z with its shitty screen. And you call that "calling me ignorant without any evidence"? Who's the blind fanboy now?

From the
CM's G+ page:
Let’s start with the simplest form of this: CyanogenMod does not pre-announce support or lack of support for devices. Ever. Even for the Nexus 4, we did not announce support until a nightly build was available. Further, any announcement regarding the ‘dropping’ of device support will be communicated via this Google+ page, Twitter, Facebook, our blog, or a combination of those; it will not be something buried in a forum post.
This morning, a comment from a CM collaborator on XDA was taken to be as an ‘absolute’ in regards to support of the S4. He offered the opinion of four TeamHacksung maintainers, their frustrations and lack of interest in supporting the S4. What’s seemingly lost on those reading this is that his comments as an individual do not speak for CyanogenMod as an organization.
As for the team’s stance on the S4, there isn’t one at this time, and most definitely won’t be one before the device is sold at retail.
-The CyanogenMod Team
Thanks for this Tranced, so in other words no verdict is going to be reached until they have the phone in their hands, this means that our local Samsung haters jumped the gun in yet another failed attempt to talk down the GS4 due to their ignorance and blind fanboyism.

Most likely half-decent builds for the Qualcomm model will be available, but the Exynos development will be next to non-existent is what the point was. Another point was some of the best developers have left Samsung development.
Here is more evidence of your ignorance. Stop it, you're embarrassing yourself now and looking rather desperate, end of the day the CM team has not come to a conclusion, and as we've seen with previous Galaxy S iterations, some devs leave and we get even better ones, each year we've had certain new devs come in with incredible new ROMs, so it's all good....I know ,that must just drive you insane, right?

Exactly!

Listen, stop clowning around. On the thread I pasted the link too, it was already said that Cyanogen themselves would probably develop for it. I posted to show Entropy512, codeworkx, Hacksung (a team), gokhanmoral - in other words the main and best developers - leave Samsung.
@Mediar
Although I wasn't a member at the time, I did follow the 2012 portfolio thread. It was unanimous that no-one would respond to you. I'll adopt that stance.
@Tsepz
Seems you only started hating hard when you realised that Sony were on the ascent and Samsung were on the descent. Sad. Ah well, once the 2h Sony flagship is released, we'll let the best phone of the year do the talking. And when the phablet is released, we'll let the best phablet of the year do the talking. Same with the tablet. In the meantime, I won't waste my time with people that can't be bothered to provide evidence and label me ignorant when they know they're wrong.

Yeah, of course, that's how the little children do. When you can't win your own game, you just rage quit.
I'm tired of listening to the same bullshit yet again - "you'll see what's gonna happen when Sony releases its new phablet/1H flagship/2H flagship/bla bla"... Are you not tired of lying yourself? You're repeating the same statement since the day one of the new Sony Mobile! Xperia Z is already third Sony flagship in a row after S and T/TX/V, but none of them appeared to be as groundbreaking and game-changing as you were trying to convince us before each announcement aka up to now none of your expectations for something revolutionary have come true. I have absolutely no reason to believe you that something is gonna change in the future. The legendary phablet and 2h flagship are going to be the same failure as the "incredible" S, TX and Z. Your hype has always appeared to be worthless. Or all of them "were the best" in a way no one has understood it...
Edit: just look at tapas123 - a few hours after he got his Z, he started facing problems!
