    Octa-Core?
    It's a Dual-"Quad-Core"
    And I think Snapdragon 600 performance would be better than that "Exynos Octa Core"

                          Sammy won't be talking about the shortage if ocatacore performed better than s600. Ex5 is a flop, sammy has wasted its resource for nothing. Excuses excuses. The hype is over.

                            i guess research on exynos 5 octa is still not yet completed n may be it is facing some issues so it is taking them some more time... even there was not a single i9500 model on galaxy s4 launch event, all were i9505 one otherwise we would have got benchmarks for it... so still the real galaxy S4(i9500) is not announced yet... hope we get it soon... i can wait but will buy S4(i9500) only...

                              AnonD-24171, 25 Mar 2013I think your memory is laggish. We are in 2013 its not 200... moreTalking of 2013 are we not going backwards I knew they were not producing enough octacores and said a month ago.In 2004 we could just go in and buy a phone yet its 2013 and we are more advanced yet phone manufacturers cant get the parts,,Shortages of this shortages of that..They announce these phones then make you wait for its release,then they are only few available,then they have supply shortages..Flipping rubbish.

                                  We are in 2013 its not 2009 when Android had problem, Alpha Android version is much better than WM6.5

                                    Here in the Philipppines, we got both the i9300 and the i9305. Now, we're getting both the i9500 and the i9505. Furthermore, they're quite cheap. Maybe its because there are a lot of Koreans here and this is a 3rd world country.
