Feels weird defending a competitor, but Samsung has officially announced details of their new phone's US processor choice that conflict with this post. What this company witnessed was probably an engineering sample with different hardware than the eventual shipping version.
Makes me wonder about how solid the rest of their information is. Carriers have test labs that can deliver any sort of signal to a phone. So maybe some of the test results are just from an LTE node at a test lab and have nothing to do with that being a launch city. If something isn't announced it may never even see the light of day anyway.
- fpgeek 14y agoT-Mobile is actually expected to be launching an LTE version of the Galaxy S3 soon: http://www.androidcentral.com/t-mobile-set-launch-galaxy-s3-lte-soon-march-27 http://www.androidcentral.com/t-mobile-set-launch-galaxy-s3-... Given that, I think it is very possible they misidentified the device. As many have noted, the designs of the S3 and S4 are quite similar. And unlike an S4, it would make sense for T-Mobile's LTE S3 to have a Snapdragon S4, like all of the other US S3s.
- brendan_gill 14y agoOp here, we're pretty sure its the Galaxy S IV. The model number, which is what we use to identify it, is the SGH-M919 and all other specs e.g. the screen resolution match up to the S IV, rather than the S III. The other comment on it being an engineering device and the chipset for commercial launch is a fair point though.
