One of the biggest question ahead of next week’s Samsung Unpacked event is whether or not the Samsung Galaxy S III (or whatever it will be called) will come with a dual-core or a quad-core processor. Recent benchmarks suggested a dual-core processor but Samsung’s Exynos 4 Quad announcement came with confirmation that it would be in Samsung’s next Galaxy device. The Korea Times may have the answer.
An anonymous Samsung executive told the publication that a number of variants will be released to accommodate different markets. Europeans will get a quad-core Exynos/HSPA+ device, the Korean market will have a quad-core Exynos/LTE device, and North America will see a dual-core Qualcomm S4/LTE model.
As for why Korea will get a quad-core Exynos processor supporting LTE and North America will not, you can blame the different LTE frequencies used.
