Yes, we know that it seems quite absurd but it’s true. The Japanese version of the Samsung Galaxy S3 will release with 2 GB of RAM, although it’s very hard to believe this. But, it’s official!
Both Samsung & DoCoMo has affirmed it. Sadly, at the moment, it appears as though the additional inclusion of RAM is going to be restricted to Japan, similar to the additional Japan customary of the 1seg TV tuner. Apart from these two dissimilarities though, it is essentially the same handset.
It’s expected that the 2GB of RAM will become the standard shortly; however it appears that it will take some time to achieve that. Obviously, as great as it appears, we do not actually know that the additional RAM would offer that much advantage except user plan to open all application & games on their smartphone simultaneously. As a result, perhaps we aren’t losing out on much.
In addition, the Japanese variant utilizes a mighty dual-core Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 1.5GHz CPU (MSM8960) similar to the LTE-supporting HTC One X for AT&T & the One XL. The change in chipset has also affected the thickness as well; the Japanese version is 9mm thick instead of 8.6mm. However, this alteration would be considered trivial by many users.
The news about a Japanese-only model may not be that exciting, but it gives us a glimpse into what the US-bound version of Samsung Galaxy S3 will look like. So far, we know nothing about the US version of S3. The only option is to keep our fingers crossed for its US release.
