so octacore battery performance as samsung said will be longer, but according to gsmarena qualcomm's chipset is better... as a conclusion, its a GIMMICK

I don't know why but my S4 i9505 sound gets distorted in high volume and tried different head phones, I don't know if this is a common problem with everyone

this does not make it any easy, you wait all this time for the S4 and they come up with two versions, this is so confusing, I spent the last 2 months confused thanks very much Samsung.

GSMArena, do both versions use the same GPS receiver? If not, is there a difference in performance between the two? How fast do they get a lock with A-GPS turned off? How do they fare at high speeds in a car?

the difference of perfoemance is only on paper. i have tested myself both verions,BOTH ARE IDENTICAL FAST IN REALITY. i work at orange. the difference of stand-by and talk time combined is very big between the quad and octa: the quad last one day more, over the octa version. plus octacore doesn't have lte. octacore is pure and simple USELESS

Galaxy Exynos won in every aspect against Galaxy Qualcomm and its documented in a video by very trusted channel in Youtube "pocketnowvideo"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wt5im3WAZYc
Note than Exynos is clocked to 1.6 GHZ while Qualcomm to 1.9 GHZ so Qualcomm has 1.2 GHZ.
1-In 02:05 Exynos boot up faster than Qualcomm.
2-In 02:55 Exynos won in 8/7 of benchmarks.
3-In 03:26 Qualcomm shows stutters when all feature of Galaxy S4 are on while Exynos run with no stutters.
4-In 04:00 Exynos opens apps faster than Qualcomm.
5-In 04:33 Qualcomm lags in HD games while Exynos doesn't.
6-In 05:12 Exynos proved to have longer battery life than Qualcomm, and note they disabled LTE in Qualcomm to make the test fair enough 06:29.

I9500 is available in my country and I was thinking about buying it. But now I'm really disappointed. They made octa core chipset to be more power efficient, not to consume more energy... And they failed...
I9505 will be a better choice.

WP8 is only mostly "dead" gigantic app icons and even bigger font that allow very little info on each screen, but it is still not able to run on Lumia 900 even though this simple/boring ui should not lag... ony any weak or old... hardware! WP8 can not even handle 1080p screen! WP8 totally sucks and can not be compared with Android!

You can like forget all this stress/debate/argument/whatsoever if you can spend a little bit more money and purchase the Korean Version S4 (SHV-E300) which is already available in my country(PH) for P29,500 = roughly $710..
Its got:
32GB internal memory
free battery charghing dock (worth $50)
and extra battery.
its an 8-core variant so who cares about running out of battery a little bit faster than i9505 if you got a spare in your pocket ayt?
question at hand is, is this version already available in your country?
Peace out people ^_^

Your audio measurement misses the bug in 9505: at low impedance loads it gives a crackled sound at higher volumes.
Please retest with 10-15ohm load.

I believe Samsung down played the I9500 variant due to the production problems they were facing. If you remember well, the Cortex-A15 was to be clocked at 1.8Ghz. However, this was down clocked to 1.6Ghz to ensure the performance difference is minimal between the 2 variants. Anyway, I believe this will change down the line with updates to the 2 variants.

Jr, 28 May 2013Hi guys! i9500 has slight battery and heat problems but has... moreExynos 5 Octa (ARM big.Little) was meant 4 boosting battery life. That's supposed 2 be it's main strength over other architectures. If it fails so horribly in it's main aim, then ARM needs to go back to the drawing board. You can always crank up the power/performance, but, it's all about power efficiency. Maybe the Android software isn't yet optimized for handling the big.Little architecture, but, ARM and Samsung need 2 put their act together as the main selling point of this whole architecture is the battery life gains along with snappier performance.

Hi guys! i9500 has slight battery and heat problems but has slight better performance than I9505. So I9505 is cooler, better battery performance, however it's slightly low on benchmarks (which I don't really care it depends on how you use it on the real world) so. which one do you have? or will you buy? I'm thinking of buying the i9500 since LTE is still on works here in the PH, so I think the i9505 is not good for me. I'm also thinking if... what if you're just doing small tasks, what would be better? still i9505 or i9500 with what they say that has powersaving Quad A7 cores? sorry or my bad english thanks :)
