I've seen screen shots that showcase 5-6.5 hours of screen time with regular use. My Nexus 4 can achieve 5+ hours of screen time, and I hit 6 hours using airplane mode, and WiFi. All my calls and texts are over data, anyway, so there really isn't a need for me to have mobile data on, unless I'm away from home, my office, or a coffee shop.

I am still skeptic about the power efficiency. I really doubt this concept of high power lowpower cores would work efficiently in real life. My concept is that when low power cores work the os becomes sluggish . And when high power cores work cpu may get overheated . Hoping samsung would have addressed the issue.

Big problem for linux phones such as android or iphone is BATTERY. Using the OCTA core phones, you reduce battery to 50% less, means. Instead of using the phone 1 day for recharge, it takes 2-3 days now.
This solved the most demanded feature for linux which is BATTERY. My girlfriend has an iphone but use it half day due to low battery, i have an android and use it 1 day maximun. New Galaxy S4, will be excellent as i will use it 2-3 days!!!

The S3 will be maintained for a very long time.

of course my horse.. the SGS4 will have that octa chipset. allegedly with the latest PowerVR Series 6 Rogue.. thats why the report says all low power consumption. it has to be PowerVR. not the new Mali500MP .. the GPU is not going to be homebrewed. . and u know the one that can best anyone outthere it the PowerVR554MP4. the one that the ip5 has. not until we seen on summer the new Snapdragons. hail PowerVR!!!

I am surprised how can one conclude even before you have seen / tested it.
Secondly, can you tell me more lite apps other than call , sms that a7 quad can do. take a guess atleast.

dont know y some ppl r yelling about it coz now every ppl buy a topdog smartphone only if he/she has complete knowledge of it... in thz case samsung never said the phone will be powered by 8-core cpu, they claim only chip's name is exynos-5-octa but the way it works is like a quad core cpu only... n those who know difference between chip wont bother for single, dual or quad core, they want better chip, better arm n better graphics for the better performance...

Its 8 core processor for sure....but you will never be able to use all of it. cause it will only allow you to use 4 cores. either cortex 15 or 7

i agree with some prev comments, if only 4 cores can be online at any given time, than it shouldnt be called octa. anyway i wonder how efficient it will be. cause when u do some heavy stuff, the 4 a15 will eat your battery fast.

Its just a quad core with few touch ups.. the whole power of the 8 cores can't be attained and so its not a "octa" core...
lets see how efficient this sammy will be.. :D
