No companion core in the S3. The reason it saves juice is because it runs the two cpu cores at different speeds and despite what Nvidia publishes that's an advantage that the S3 has that the A9 Cortex does not.
As far as not as good as the 4460 overall - that will have to remain to be seen and how you use things. The S3 at 1.5 GHz cpu benches out the same as the Exynos at 1.2 GHz, so while not as efficient per clock, it's plenty efficient to get the job done. I think there may be an edge to the media processing on the OMAP4 - but for practical benefit, all I can say is that the S3 can support _real_ 3D just fine, so it's not like a total dog.
I posted earlier that I had battery concerns on the Rezound, but your experience matches my phone if scaled. I was getting 18 hrs/50% battery at 1.2 GHz, light/moderate use, and easily go a full day with room to spare running moderate/heavy at 1.5 GHz -but with a smaller screen.
What really impresses me is that evidently Verizon's config of the Rezound did NOT end up borking it. I've been a broken record that what Verizon HTC users see and experience is not necessarily shared by the rest of us.
I'll be interested in your feedback after you've owned the Rezound for a while and then get to check it side by side with the Gnex!
So I spent majority of yesterday playing in a VA charity poker tournament. Moving from table to table and talking with so many veterans was a lot of fun. The support that people showed, even those that didn't know a thing about poker was incredible too.
The really interesting thing (to me anyway) was how many people had smart phones. Everyone was getting texts and calls during the tournament, which is normal, but the overwhelming majority had smart phones. It was about 50/50 Android to iPhone, but I did see a few BalckBerries, a WP7 here or there and a Pre.
So, I've got an ICS launcher on my phone and during the course of the day I had 6 different people ask me if I had the Galaxy Nexus.Not, "That new Google phone." or "The Nexus" or "The Galaxy", but "The Galaxy Nexus". I was a little surprised. The first time I considered it a fluke, but by the sixth I was really surprised. I typically don't expect the average person to know or care what phone I have. I've had a ton of people ask me if my Galaxy S is an iPhone. It just shocks me that 6 different random people noticed my phone and knew what a Galaxy Nexus was. I talked with two guys about ICS for a while too. They all sound really excited about the phone.
Maybe we aren't the only ones looking forward to this phone.
I have, at times, forgotten that this is not a chat room.
) - and if we toss in that Girard's Law of 250 I posted on some time back - where each person networks and connects to the opinions of about 250 others on average - we have several countries getting covered with our influence. 
No, that's where you go for iPhones.
I'll just make sure to make the goofiest face I can possibly fathom for my unlock picture. Surely nobody will get or would have a picture of me making that kind of face and it will provide for some great entertainment for others when unlocking my phone in public
