Sprint Galaxy SIII Confirmed By Bluetooth SIG

The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has approved the Sprint Galaxy SIII. This means that all four carriers have had SIII variants approved by the Bluetooth SIG, meaning that all four carriers are getting the phone. Samsung has always wanted to put their Galaxy line of phones on every carrier possible (often putting multiple Galaxy phones on each carrier), yet the Galaxy SII was strangely absent from Verizon last year. This year will, however, be different.

Sprint’s model will have the model number of SPH-L710, which is nearly identical to the Sprint SII (SPH-D710). It gives no other information, so we won’t know release date, price, or if they will switch out the quad core Exynos for a dual core Snapdragon S4. But it’s still good to know that people on any of the major carriers can pick one up.

 HumbertoRubio They need to make an HSPA+ only model for AT&T with the Exynos, like the OG SII.

@Haloruler64 and for sprint which i don't see happening, i have sprint also has exynos and by far BEST phone I've ever had.. It hasnt slowed down like my previous phones which had snpadragons.. I just love there processors..

 HumbertoRubio  Haloruler64 Me too man, me too. The Exynos is the only processor I've ever seen run live wallpapers smoother than other modern phones running static ones. Even the GNex can't push live wallpapers without lag. It's just a beautiful experience on the Exynos. I swear by it.

Also, I would see Samsung putting in their new Exynos 5 Dual processor (Cortex A-15 based with 32nm and clock speed of up to 2GHz) in the US/LTE version of the GS3, but not the S4. Other wise why would they make it if they were not going to be using it?

 samichaels96 They are making the A15 chips for tablets, they stated so before. They aren't going into production until Q3 of 2012, and it often takers months before they actually get into devices. But they have expressed their plans to use A15 in tablets and for now, A9 in phones.

 Haloruler64  samichaels96   yup, what 64 said

we'll see when it actually comes to the U.S. LTE market because of the shortage of snapdragon processors. From what i gathered the LTE model will be dual core rather quad 

Haloruler64 84 pts

 EugeneG Probably going to be dual core S4.

EugeneG 7 pts

 Haloruler64 most likely, i was reading it will be a S4 because compatibility issues with LTE system 

Haloruler64 84 pts

 EugeneG Yep, sadly. I want an Exynos a lot more

EugeneG 7 pts

 Haloruler64  im getting the exynos one because im in europe mostly...no LTE  haha and in New York  I use ATT prepaid

The main reasoning that I've heard/read for why Verizon didn't get the GS2 is because they wanted the Galaxy Nexus for an exclusive period of time.

 samichaels96 Essentially, that's what people think. Focus on the GNex, and keep it exclusive.
