I bought Samsung Galaxy S4 i9506 LTE-A Black Mist from Singapore.
Many questions about Galaxy S4 i9506 LTE-A are unanswered in this forum.
I hope most of user question will be answered below.
I am using this phone from 31-May-2014. My experience/observations are below :
1>After first power on, I updated OS to Andriod 4.3 which currently available for S4-i9506, hopefully I will get Andrioid KitKat in couple of months.
2>Installed AnTutu app from Google Play store , the AnTuTu score is 36100.
3>With extensive usage like playing 3D games, Skype video call, Youtube movies watching on 3G, Phone CPU temperature . never exceeds 59 celsius, battery temperature do not exceed 44 celsius.
4>With normal usage, Facebook, Twitter, phone call , Youtube on wifi , browsing on wifi phone never gets hot (can reach mild warm)
5>If you activate Power Save on with CPU power saving, The AnTuTu score will fall to 26200 (Still better than i9505, similar to i9500), It will affect performance of camera (not taking pictures but , viewing pictures after taking shot within camera app)
(Used Google Play Apps CpuTemp for CPU temp, Sensor Sense app for battery temperature).
6>Battery life (when charged 100%) , I get 1 full day with screen on time 5 hours 20 mins , my phone is always on Auto brightness ON & CPU Power Saving ON.
Battery charging time from 0 to 100 % using samsung charger 2A (supplied with phone) takes 2 hours 5 minutes
IMPORTANT note for i9506 users : Once phone is switched on, open apps Phone, message, Whatsapp, Email, FaceBook, Skype, Twitter BUT DONT EXIT APP USING BACK TOUCH BUTTON, INSTEAD USE home button, these frequent usage app will sit in RAM but will not be active apps so no more stress on battery. On next use these apps will respond very fast.

Do not get the i9506 Galaxy S4, get the i9505 if you can (Although the i9505 is inferior hardware wise). Since i9506 S4 is more uncommon as opposed to the i9505 there is very little development for this device. If you root your phone there are no Custom roms, not even Cyanogen mod (Note i9505 roms are not compatible with i9506). Samsung is also being extremely late with updates, the i9506 has not been updated to Kitkat by Samsung yet (i9505, i9500 has). At this point of time the S3 and Note 2 are likely to get KitKat sooner than i9506.b Avoid getting this phone at all costs.

worst development for this device ever, there are no custom roms for it, no cyanogenmod for it and best of all still no kitkat upgrade from samsung and all other s4 variants i9500, i9505 and i9505g got the kk update.
screw samsung.
