The Galaxy S III tidbits keep on coming, and after promising battery indications comes further evidence that Verizon’s variant of the smartphone will pack a dualcore Snapdragon S4 rather than Samsung’s own quadcore chip. Premature NenaMark2 benchmarks suggest Verzion’s SCH-I535 Galaxy S III will indeed swap the Exynos for a 1.5GHz S4, presumably the same chipset as in the LTE-toting One X , as Samsung moves to accommodate the 4G technology.
Samsung wasn’t done with the accessories when it announced a whole stack of ‘em alongside the incoming Galaxy S III last week. A few more have now started to appear on pre-order, including, yes, another stylus.
When Samsung announced the Galaxy S III earlier this month, it had news about plenty of accessories for the smartphone . We talked about some of those at the time, like a WiFi-enabled AllShare hub and Samsung’s C Pen stylus, and while the manufacturer had some details to share, we didn’t get a chance to have a close look at much of this GS3 gear.
Hot on the heels about that upcoming Samsung Galaxy S3 ? We are sure many of you are, and if you need something else to get excited about, Samsung has just released a set of images displaying some of the flagship’s official accessories.
Happy Friday, everyone. We made it through yet another week, and what a week it was.
The two big categories of interest at CTIA 2012 as far as we’re concerned are Devices and Accessories, the latter being what we’re going to have a look at today. Have a peek back at our CTIA 2012 Devices round-up from yesterday and prepare yourself here for a set of oddities and masterfully executed device helpers such as you’ve never laid your own eyes on before!

This week at CTIA 2012 we caught up with Ryan Bidan, Director of Product Marketing for Samsung Mobile, who was glad to provide us with a hands-on comparison between the Samsung Galaxy S III and the Galaxy Note , two titans for the modern Samsung smartphone line. What you’re about to see is that in addition to the obvious differences between the two like the screen size and the fact that the Galaxy Note has a pen, the Galaxy S III provides its own set of wholly unique elements that the Galaxy Note does not yet have access to.
It’s time to take a look at what the Samsung Galaxy S III has to offer the world with Samsung’s official selection of accessories, everything from the S3 C-Pen to the Wifi Display Hub to their brand new Flip Cover. These accessories have been behind glass thus far or not visible to us at all in most cases, here appearing from Samsung just days after CTIA 2012 and a week after the first introduction the whole world has had to the Galaxy S III in London.
At the moment, the wireless world is dominated by three major players. Google, Apple, and Microsoft have all built arrays of services and features around their respective platforms: Apple’s iTunes, Google Play, and Microsoft’s Marketplace are the mainstays.
Samsung may say that the use of PenTile on its Super AMOLED HD displays is in order to keep it working for longer, but is the company holding out on us? SamMobile has heard from a source saying that the current Tizen prototype being used features a Super AMOLED HD Plus display, indicating the use of a full RGB matrix.
