In case you missed the Samsung event that officially launched the Samsung Galaxy S3, you can check our preview of the phone. Of course, you have seen that the Samsung Galaxy S3, as presented on stage, featured a quad-core chip, most likely a Samsung Exynos. However, that smartphone was also likely to have been an HSPA+ device, and not a 4G LTE device. And in the absence of an Exynos chip with built-in 4G LTE, Samsung would have to use 1/an Exynos with an external 4G LTE modem or 2/a non-Samsung dual-core chip, if it wants to ship an LTE quad-core phone to Verizon and AT&T.
