      The question I would ask is - if it turns out that it really has been possible to use all 8 cores since the beginning, then why did Samsung not enable this feature in the first place?

        We will fight the lies, the lie Android still does a lags.
        Jelly bean is 4.1 and is what all touchWhiz is based on. Jelly bean is described in reviews as "buttery smooth". With forced 60Hz and Triple buffering lag is a lie!! It is not still 2008...... so stop bringing it up.

        Lets show our support for Meizu in selecting the best chips to power their phones. Go Samsung.

        Jealous people know
        8x cores vs x2 old cores in iOS and WP

        400% raw processing power in clock per clock.

        Android is still 3 years ahead of old OS's
        with slow 2 cores LOL.

        We will support 10 cores for 2014! We are asking soon.
        We know you will deliver Samsung.

              hnmn, 12 Sep 2013Then tell samsung to do it so... easy isn't?Why do you think then that most of the i7's have more then 4 logical processors because having more cores allows you to shutdown some cores and improve battery life

                  Its not broken , don't call it "Fixing". Using all 8 cores at once will be wastage of power

                      Waiting for a software update for my Galaxy S4 Gt-19500. It will blow out all the snapdragons from the competition. I hope Samsung to release this update very soon.

                            This may compromise the battery performance of the smart phones. big.LITTLE technology promised the better battery performance but it did not performed well as compared to snapdragon i.o. exynos 5 vs s600.

                              it is how "HARD" samsung to convince the public on OCTA-CORE marketing strategy...and...["its too late already"]...
                              Because.....smart people...who understand....ELECTRONIC and COMPUTER Science...will not believe...8 CORE will
                              give 8 times faster performance if compare to SINGLE core...
                              OCTA core(in smartphone) terminology has receive BAD RECEPTION and UNDERSTANDING from worldwide smartphone consumer.

                              WHAT SAMSUNG need to do is....just follow GOOGLE footstep..lower the selling price cost...for the sake...to be remain as still good in competition...
                              Else that....what i can see...2013 and 2014...WORLD start to declined this "Sam...BRAND"...

                                actually is great.

                                that mean u can send smaller processes to a7 and bigger to a15 lets hope they get it working.

                                  If software update is available then only then I can say that Samsung unleast the beast within. Its like Dr. Banner turns into Hulk. And smoke everything in its path or maybe smoke the phone literally.

                                    boss ....exynos does supports lte...it is less power hungry. plus manufacturing cost is low.. so only samsung has made it available in india.. its like grape juice turned to vine.. they thought cheaper but now became better..

                                      The only phones that can ultilize and maximize the power of the true octa core are the Samsung flagships with their true pc-like multitasking capability. Have you guys watched the coldfustion video about how the Note 2 was pushed to the max, how he open multiple videos and apps on one screen and made the whole quadcore work like a monster? No other company has that multitasking power. And that is also why the Note 3 is the only phone with 3GB of RAM. The Note 3 is just in a class of its own.

                                        But its running Android OS.. That means no performance
