                                pk, 23 Aug 2013can any expert advice me? I've read that exynos 5410 chipse... moreIt would get a bit technical but I can explain it. overall Samsung and arm decided to follow big.little architecture designed by arm.this contains 4 little cortex a7 cores handling basic tasks and a15 for the heavy ones. as a7 cores are highly energy efficient and a15 are extremely powerful but very less energy efficient. hence a7 will provide excellent battery life and a15 will provide extreme power. The cores will switch within 10 microseconds and there will be no visible time lag. It was really excellent idea. Now three configurations were possible:
                                1. cluster migration: system can choose between 4cortex a7 and 4 a15. Under light load a7 and when you fire a game or intensive task, a15 will fire in. worst config.

                                2. core migration: system can choose any combination depending on need. 4 a7, 3a7 and one a15, 2a7 and 2a15 , 1 a7 and 1 a15 ,and 4 a15. better configuration and more battery saving due to more options for a7.

                                3. heterogenous multi processing: very complex and analyses the need and can vary any number of cores of any configuration from 1 a7 yo all 8 cores making s4 proper octa core. No present kernel can do it.

                                It was later found that exynos 5410 had some problems and hence can only do cluster migration and hence decreasing battery life. If it had been core migration, battery life had rocked.


                                This isn't a serious problem and its still better than a single quad core. battery life and standby are still great and max. power is the same 4 a15 in both cluster and core as HMP isn't possible due to complexity.

                                note 3's 5420 will fix this and will run on core migration.

                                thts all I know. thanx 4 asking.

It uses a much larger sensor which is 3 times the sensor size of s4. so s4 can't quite compete in night but in broad daylight these 2 can be comparable and s4 takes a slight lead due to advanced sensor and post processing. n8 uses a big xenon flash.

                                        You can't compare both of them. n8, 808 preview, lumia 1020 are all big sensor beasts and they will surely beat s4. you can easily see that these all carry big lens chaissis and great optics. s4 is really good on camera but against comparable smartphones which are thin and don't only carry a good camera.
