18 March, 2013
A Qualcomm-based North American version was expected, but the Swedish phone was a surprise.

      Like the 32GB and 64GB Note2 available in S.Korea along with some other hardware options not available in Canada or us or other places is Samsung playing favorites with hardware for others to pay for?... HMMM....

        You do know that the GS4 benchmarked here, like the HTC One, is using the Snapdragon 600 but at a higher clock right? Clock for clock, the 600 will beat the Exynos

            Pretty bad news for most of the European countries. I now know for sure that the Exynos variant will be available initially only in Austria, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland & USA. But Belgium, Bulgaria, France, Sweden, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Reunion, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia & Turkey will get the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 variant. I cannot tell if the Exynos CPU will ever be available in these countries at a later point. I cannot also tell yet which CPU variant will be sold in the UK, Cyprus, Ireland, Malta, Norway, Australia.

                  I couldn't care less what people say negatively about the sgs4,
                  All I can make out of it is a lot of competitors employees working overtime :)))

                  I'm still getting one and so are my family ;)

                    The Company responsible for HTC,
                    are suffering from a rapid decline in sales.
                    That was posted on techradar a couple of weeks ago.

                              Tiger, 19 Mar 2013Aluminum starts to degrade and turns dull after a few weeks... morewell... HTC One is also Snapdragon 600 and HTC was also much closer to Qualcomm, that's why HTC One is ahead of SGS 4 in benchmarks.
                              And for metal unibody which HTC got used - metal is still metal, even after few months. While plastic SGS4 goes to trash after few days of active use.

                                    The Snapdragon 600 based Galaxy S4 is "twice" as fast as the Galaxy S3 also including the Iphone 5,
                                    And yes also easily beating The HTC one as well.

                                    Happy days :)
