The actual CPU is nothing to complain about. 4 Krait 300 cores are excellent even if it benchmarks slower than 4 A15 cores. The main issue we should complain about is the Adreno 320 GPU. Despite being somewhat new, it still lags behind the 2012 iPhone 5's SGX543MP3 quite a bit in performance. It's especially painful since the international S4 will get the SGX544MP3, which is a half step faster than the iPhone.

When I look at the info from one of the
sources(mobil.se) they say that the reason for using another processor then the Exynos5 is that the Qualcom can deliver better performance on 4G networks then the Exynos.
It is not so bad that they did this since I doubt that the Qualcom600 is going to disappoint.
And Sweden also have a very wide and good quality mobile phone network in general so using the Qualcom would allow the end user to use faster and more effective Internet.
Looks like a logical choice.
But that will not apply for every country.
But I can sort of see why they did this in Sweden.
So no octa core in Sweden but do we want octa core? Can't everyone just be content with the power of quad?
How often will an end user use all the power of octa core?
Quad core might be just enough for all our needs :-)
I shall not grieve, S4 looks to be a great phone anyway.

This is not the Galaxy S4, it is the Galaxy S3.5 In the home of Apple, you should bring your better product.

how do you no it will beat future products , you can read into the future . i have nothing against sammy juss people say dumb things more so fanboys of any sort . and also why do people complain when companies copy from each other what matters is the product that your spending on. all companies copy while innovating some do one more than the other but who cares ,the companies dont put money in your pocket so let them worry about patents , while we enjoy the tek.

Bad news for those who 'hate plastic' according to Samsung's designer on techradar, plastic is here to stay while Samsung focus more on user experiences.
If, that ruffles a few feathers then "hard cheese".

Samsung is trying with small but significant changes. Trying hardware innovation, and software refinement, think AMOLED/PHOLED, TIZEN, TOUCHWIZ on top of Android, the NOTE series, QUADCORE, different processors for products, DIAMOND pixels, hover function without the mouse, etc

Anonymous, 18 Mar 2013Here we go again, Samsung up to their usual antics. They on... moreBoo hoo :(
We knew from the start they were making 2 different cpu/gpus and didn't state americans were going to get the octa anyway. So who cares, the 600 blows everything away that's out and coming out shortly.

[deleted post]"performance has only changed about 30%" Well at-least with the S4 vs S3, the S4 seems to be over 59% more powerful then it's predecessor
& 206% faster then the S2. Which is bad according to you right?

Because US version concentrates on LTE.QUALCOMM is superior in LTE than EXYNOS.Still EXYNOS is somewhat lag behing qualcomm in LTE,That's the reason samsung chose qualcomm in US version.

Here we go again, Samsung up to their usual antics. They only ever highlight their powerful stuff, then start changing things up behind the scene. Watch for new and confusing models coming soon. All looking the same too I might add.
