Galaxy S III has quad core.....what does that mean for 7.7?

pinsb · Apr 18, 2012

In a couple of weeks the Galaxy S III (i9300) is going to be launched with a quad core 1.5Ghz processor.

Given how slow Samsung have been to actively market the 7.7 does this mean the tablet is going to become redundant even before it's gained any sales traction?

While I love my 7.7 I'm realistic in that it's not been a sales success (mostly due to Sammies "too many products...no focus" current marketing strategy).

I think samsung is trying to find a niche in the mobile market. Almost anything that is 'successful' to them, they will make revisions of them.

like samsung galaxy tab p1000 -> becomes 7.0 plus
or samsung s -> s2

and the 7.7, and 5.3 note was like test for them .. but it seems note was more successful.. and that 7.7 seems to release late, maybe due to the law suite with apple?

Personally i do like to see note 2

As for the sgs3, i will only consider it if it have sdcard slot + removable battery.

quad core means little for me.

Galaxy Tab 7.7

I changed from Galaxy S2 to Galaxy Tab 7.7.
I dont know why the Galaxy Tab 7.7 should become no sale success. if you compare it to other tabs you can see that the Hardware (beside the camera module) is very good.
I am satisfied with this tablet. If there will be the ICS update i think the android sofware will work much better than Honeycomb.
If you compare it to the Galaxy Note and the upcoming Galaxy S3 you will notice that the tab ist still another formfactor with its 7.7.
After using my tab for 2 weeks i dont want to miss ist, especially for media and internet. Besides this i am using it as cellphone too to telephone.
If i think of the 4,x inch Display of my S2 or the Note display i think the tab is still the better choice.
And due to its size it is still mobile enough to take it for everyday use.

Hope the 7.7 will get the ics update soon and find some more devs here in forum...

Id also like to see a Galaxy Note 2 and a Tab 2 7.7 but the new SuperAMOLED manufacturing and a bigger battery life. Probably the next Tab 7.7 will come with a quadcore A15.

Samsung makes a **** ton of Galaxy products in every size. Don't worry.

How do you know that the GSIII is going to have a quad core chip in it? Until it is officially announced, any specs we may think we know or expect the GSIII to have are nothing more than rumors, speculations, and theories.

Don't get ahead of yourself here.

Until then, this conversation is pointless.

Already confirmed by a Samsung exec last month.

I still don't have any idea what this thread is about. Are you worried that the 7.7 won't be top dog or something? It's yesterday's news. Get the shiniest thing you can.

Well, I was joking. This kind of thread is rather useless so I should refrain from reading or commenting, really.

Cripes chaps it's not that difficult to follow.......

The 7.7 was announced almost 8 months ago and in many markets the 3G version is still not even available.

As Sammie themselves (and other manufacturers) are now starting to announce quad core products it'll set expectation in the marketplace that quad core is now the base level.

This discourages buyers from buying dual core products.

Fewer sales means developers less inclined to work on a product that's perceived as out of date.

We, as owners of 7.7 devices get fewer ROM options.

Nottin' really... galaxy tab 2 is coming here at Singapore last time I heard they're also putting quad core in there...

Correct me if I'm wrong ... would a quad core chip even present much of an upgrade over a dual core, considering the application? Seems like overkill to me.

buzzmcfly · Apr 21, 2012

Maybe you have a point there... but its a matter of adopting to the newest tech, soon most apps would be so heavy that you'd req a quadcore processor...

Except for new games and other niche programs, I suspect that won't be the case for several more years to come.

exactly, I am not even sure if programs in windows take advantage of dual or quad cores.

I'd rather take a A15 dual core than quad A9.

That's why I still haven't purchased it and sticking with my Overclocked original Tab. Hopefully Samsung will come with a 7.7 (2) that will be popular enough
But definitely at this point with little custom ROM available, no CM, and ICS not yet there it makes little sense to upgrade (I might for the battery life since my Tab after 18months starts to show signs of tiredness)
On top of it there is not even a GSM LTE version available (Actually there s in Korea but with different bands form the "usual" ones used in Europe and US)

Galaxy S III has quad core.....what does that mean for 7.7?
