I have GT-i9505, and this version Quad-Core 1.9GHz it's a much better than Octa core (1.6GHz& 1.2GHz) "weak version" ~~~

As u already know for sure, dat octa core means onli 4 cores at a time nd fr smaller works onli 1.2GHz cpu vl b on nd it depends on u a battery lyf or a phone wd better perfomance. On da whole dey both have mostly same perfomance wd Quad processor having better battery lyf.

I think the battery performance is due to the difference between process nodes. I believe Exynos is on 32nm node and snapdragon is on a 28nm node.

One thing that should me worthy of the mention is that it's very likely that the Exynos version of the S4 will never reach the same level of development as the Snapdragon variant because Samsung aren't willing to play ball with the documentation for the chipset.

Everyone seems to forget that PRIOR to an update AFTER release, the i9505 had a closer rating to that of the i9500.
For example,
TALK TIME went from 13:53 to 18:03 (i9500 is 11:01)
WEB BROWSING went from 8:42 to 7:24 (i9500 is 6:58)
VIDEO PLAYBACK WENT FROM 10:16 to 12:30 (i9500 is 11:29)
So its not the end of the world.
Can most likely be improved with a software update.

Ronny, 28 May 2013Well, most tech geeks would probably opt for i9500 rather t... moreIn Hong Kong, most people preferred S600 version, due to the LTE speed advantage...

Lotus Ravenmoore, 28 May 2013You can like forget all this stress/debate/argument/whatsoe... morePersonally I suspect the reliability of these Korean version phones... As I used to visit a Chinese market that dedicated in phone, that a person I met there told me every korean version machine they got are just phones that purchased by people in korea and then they feel unsatisfied or for other reason so they send their phone back to carrier and as those phone are used sothey ccan't sell them again and therefore dump them to other country...I don't know if korean version phone in other country sourced same as those in China, but I had never buy any more of these since then...

Have owned both phones and the i9500 is noticeably snappier in real world usage. Had to swap from my i9505 due to significant audio distortion with low impedance headphones, which many high end headphones are.

AnonD-136217, 29 May 2013Yes, it is if you don't mind to use higher impedance headphones.Why do you say that?

Very interesting!
BTW, as someone mentioned below, 3G talk time comparison is very shocking.......
Could you leverage what Modem processor has been used with Exynos?
It is about the Modem isn't it?

the snapdragon version has similar performance - but has better battery usage and has LTE. so this is the better version!

I could've sworn in all other tests the Octa actually had notable difference in benchmark. Especially GPU. This doesn't make sense.

Looking at the results (performance and battery) there isn't any reason to get the octa core SGS4 yet.
I still think the concept has merit and further software updates may deliver improved battery life.
That said both phones are still right up there on both fronts.
