    Qualcomm started shipping the Snapdragon S1 w/Cortex-A5 cores in Q4 2011 (although as of right now it's unknown if any of these are dual core) + Samsung eMCP[1] which explains the 768MB of RAM and 4GB of storage.

    Also of note, the original Galaxy Ace came with a Qualcomm SoC as well, the ARMv6 MSM7227.

    I believe the SoC could be a clocked-down Broadcom BCM28150. Samsung already uses the BCM21553 in a couple of Galaxy handsets.

    Where can we confirm which SoC is it? Does samsung have a Developers website with the technicals? I doubt it's the NovaThor because in the past when a phone ships with their chip they do a press release about it.

    These devices pack the Renesas SOC. I am not sure which one exactly, and what their specs are.
