Knowing Samsung's reputation for preducing the best Android smart phones and probably the best smart phones period for the period of their release, and how adamant they are about staying above the competition (Note: HTC One X), do you think we'll see one?
With LG producing the first ever smartphone with 2 GBs of RAM (double the average competitors software), therefore dethrowning them as the defacto best Android phone makers, and with newer hardware being utilized by Samsung's biggest rivals, Apple and their latest iPhone; do you foreseably see a rendition of the Samsung flagship phone before the year is up?

There is no doubt about that.If you remember Galaxy Note marketing strategy,Galaxy Note 2 to be expected to be announce very soon will be their new flagship,note 10.1 tablet benchmarks clearly shows better GPU Mali 600(5 times as powerful as the Mali 400 use in galaxy sIII),just imagine 5 times,there is no doubt that Note 2 will be launching with the same hardware.Note 2 is their next flagship(expected to be announced shortly).As for LG they are ready with A15 krait quad core with adreno 320 and is officially the most powerful smartphone out there,enough to put all these A9 quad core to shame(remember what dual core A15 did to quad A9,Tegra).Now it's up to you which flagship you want,as in android unfortunately every week will have a new flagship,specs and size going higher and higher.
Again, Krait is no A15, but QCOM's own design, with pipeline lengths and OoE somewhere in between of A9 and A15 (stock ARM designs). Then again Exynos is not stock A9 design, but optimized by Samsung.
So, we don't know till we taste the pudding.
Also, the timeframe for Note 2 (or whatever it will be called) announcement is somewhere in October and shipping probably in late November or early December.
That's a long ways away

competition is bigger , market will be changing every now and then. A 2 gb of ram dosent dethrow anything, eventhough 2gb sounds nice practically its of no use. Every flagship will be at their top for atleast a year as per their specs, you can expect the same for galaxy s3, its the best around now. If you need a bigger screen then go for Note or wait for Note 2.(assuming note2 wont have any significant changes)
Yes there are always next generation(exynos 5 series,quad core krait) waiting to demolish all the current lineups like s3,hox,etc etc but it wont happen for atleast a year. this will be the same in the feature but with the reduced time gap
The SGS3 in Japan actually has 2GB RAM.
http://www.samsung.com/jp/galaxys3/index.html?pid=jp_home_thelatest_main_galaxys3_20120515
It uses S4 instead of Exynos.
It's like a totally different phone with the name of SSG3 (in terms of hardware).
BTW guys, recent "leak" by Nordichardware suggests that Note 10.1 will have a Exynos Quad using Mali-T604.

Did you ever take in consideration that that might be a rumor? Or the over hype factor like what happen with the SGS3?
-1080P Screen
-1.5 ghz quad core
-12 mp camera
-2gb ram
Remember all that? I mean it's believable because LG is late tot eh party, but lets not forget that the S4 Pro hasn't even been found in a device and you think they're going to skip over that?
If it's true, I just want to believe it when I see clear and concrete evidence.

Yea, this graph is representative of the ARM portfolio. That dual-core Mali (year 2012-2013) was projected for a device in the entry-mid range level. If some company releases a phone in the entry level with Mali400 MP2, I think it's quite acceptable in 2012.

Even though I have followed dev/porting for 8 months starting with HTC Touch, I have little knowledge of how it is actually done. So here's my question to the developers.
We all know that Nexus S (2?) will have Gingerbread 2.3. Looking at the rumored specs and model number, it seems that Nexus S is a slight upgrade from Galaxy S.
Assuming most of the hardware is identical to Galaxy S, how easy is it to port 2.3 to Epic 4G, once Galaxy S becomes available?
Specifically, what is needed to bake a new 2.3 rom? Do you need to reverse engineer like what devs did on HTC WM devices? Or is it a straight port? I suspect it's somewhere in between but want to hear from you.
(If necessary, please move this to android development forum.)
The simple answer to this (which has been answered in other threads already if you looked) is no its won't be easy.
Also, the Nexus S is rumored and pretty much guaranteed to launch with a dual core processor. The rumor is that they delayed the device and gingerbread to implement this, since it will be google's new flagship device and has to be cutting edge. Everyone knows that dual core processors are set to hit the market within the first couple months of 2011 anyway, so releasing an old generation processor in a flagship google phone just makes no sense.
So no, it will not be easy to port from the Nexus S. It will not only have a completely different processor, but will also probably only be a GSM phone.

I agree and think this is the bigger problem (for the Epic at least).
Sure would be nice if the folks at Google would release at one clean Google device for each carrier. I'd be on it in a heart beat.

Yes that would be nice if they did that.I am surprised they are even doing another google phone by the way it sounded when they stopped marketing the nexus 1 that had no interest in doing another google branded phone.

Those are just rumors, all of the official specs that have come out say it will be a 1.2ghz hummingbird. The dual core 1ghz orion chip is definitely on the horizon but I highly doubt they will be able to get it in at the last minute, and there's a good chance we won't see it in phones until late next year. All rumors of a dual core Nexus S have had no credibility with their sources.
That said, if this turns out to be a dual core phone and gingerbread turns out to be optimized for dual cores, a port will probably be very difficult. But if it's just a 1.2ghz hummingbird then it would just be a matter of getting the CDMA radio working.

The reason that I think he has to have a dual core in it is as follows:
If it has a 1.2 ghz hummingbird processor, BFD. It immediately launches and is mediocre. Nothing exciting at all about it.
If it launches as the first dual core phone, it is the top of the line phone worthy of being branded as a Google flagship device.
Also, if it just had a 1.2 ghz hummingbird processor, what is the holdup? It is no different from phones released months ago. Also, if its a 1.2 Ghz processor, it will be eclipsed within a matter of a month or two performance wise by Tegra 2 and dual core snapdragon processors. Basically, it would be an embarassing flagship device. The original Nexus is still to this day a damn good phone that is near the top of the pack of android phones performance wise, and it is a year old.

You are fully aware the the Tegra 2 do not even exceed the hummingbird in gpu or cpu performance right? Im just saying cause it would suck if you didn't know what you're talking about.
Plus gingerbread will have HW acceleration, putting gpu performance on a step for the overall fluidity of the gui. So again... what's faster?

I'm trying to find the article again, but i know they were close but Tegra 2 did not outperform the hummingbird. Apparently now they optimized the platform more.
Don't get me wrong i love nvidia, that's all i've purchased and stayed with them even thou they still dont have a decent dx11 card that doesnt need 2 power supplies. But they really need to step up and their CEO needs to wattch what he says and deliver more.
Here's a quote "On the 3D side, Nvidia says it has doubled the performance of the initial Tegra, resulting in a peak speed of 90 million triangles per second. This level is well beyond the performance of any mobile processor shipping or even sampling today." Hummingbird has the same exact performance. And CPU performance is a very interesting area. Anyway the GPU performance is almost par with the Hummingbird leading maybe by 3-5%

Since Tegra 2 is dual core and android does not have 2 core support till Gingerbread (Actually I don't think it even supports cortex A9 till gingerbread)..so if they ran 1 core vs 1 core I'd see a hummingbird win against a Tegra 2..but if Tegra 2 is running dual core (and optimized for it) it should win...but by that analogy Orion would then be superior.

Not to mention that Tegra 2 does 1080P video recording. So yes, releasing a google flagship phone that within one month is eclipsed by LG with the first Tegra 2 phone, would be embarrassing. The Nexus 1 set the standard for almost a year, before the Galaxy S line came out. If the Nexus 2 can only set the standard for under a month, that would be stupid. Therefore, it is easy to conclude that the rumors of the Nexus S having a dual core are most likely true. Doesn't mean it has to be the Orion, but it would be awesome if it was.
Tegra 2 is a Cortex A9 CPU... as is the Samsung Orion and the TI OMAP4xxx chips. They accomplish 2.5 instructions per MHz as opposed to the 2 instructions per MHz in the Cortex A8 Hummingbird, and that's not counting improvements to instruction efficiency (getting more done with less instructions.) Add to that improvements such as out of order instruction handling and dual-channel memory support and Cortex A9 chips are head and shoulders above Cortex A8.
The only reason Tegra 2 wouldn't outperform Hummingbird significantly is, as mentioned, lack of dual-core support in current builds of Android, and the nVidia GPU which is, surprisingly, only just about on par with Hummingbird's PowerVR SGX540.

Here's the facts dude, and try to get this; Tegra2 does not, in fact, suck. You just posted a video of it being benchmarked on a netbook running Android 2.1 which cannot make full use of Tegra2's dual-core CPU. Secondly, neocore is a GPU test, not a CPU test. We already discussed the fact that the Tegra2 GPU is only just about on par with the SGX540. Thirdly, that test is being run at a signifcantly higher resolution than a mobile device would run, and frankly, considering this, the score isn't bad.
Fail, man, fail.

I would also like to point out that I wrote the article that sauron0101 just linked. It's also posted on my blog (linked in my signature) posted back in March. Tegra2 does feature dual-channel memory support as part of the Cortex A9 architecture, which is a significant advantage.

Any idea how fast the other Arm Cortex A9s are compared to the 250?
- We know that the SGX540 will be in the TI OMAP 4 series; probably not bandwidth limited - I am surprised that they did not opt for the SGX545
- The Samsung Orion series has Mail 400 (unknown performance)
- The Snapdragon (A8 unless Qualcomm opts to keep the name "Snapdragon for its A9 CPUs) will have a new generation of Adreno 300 graphics
Unknown if we will see this on mobile
- Marvell also has a new SOC
Also interesting is Samsung's Netbook roadmap, which uses the same SOCs on a phone:
Sorry if all of this is a bit off topic, but it is worth looking at what everyone has.
Edit: Qualcomm is keeping the Snapdragon name for the A9 processors.
Does no one see i was talking about Gpu perfomance? That's what's gonna matter in Gingerbread. And that's running 1024x600 on that res Galaxy tab is around 53 fps. It's the same thing that Vista started doing with HW accel so u understand.
So I have been doing a lot of research looking for what will be better and I am guessing that the Mali 400 is going to out perform the Adreno 225. I wish android had a solid GPU test that would give something close to real world results. But if you take a look at these articles you will see on paper the Adreno is the same as the Apple 4S's Power VR543MP2
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5559/...mance-preview-msm8960-adreno-225-benchmarks/3
Now the International version will have the new Exynos 4 Quad (4412) Quad Core Cortex A9 but the US version is rumored to have a Dual Core Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8960 with the Adreno 225.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5811/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-preview
and here are some other benchmarks just to sum up the difference in performance.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5810/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-performance-preview
The main thing I am worried about is GPU performance the CPUs in just about every phone out right not seem over kill. I want to make sure the phone I buy will be able to run FPSE(Playstation Emulator) and N64oid(N64 Emulator) smooth. FPSE now has an Open GL plugin that needs a hard core GPU to run well. My Galaxy nexus is just not cutting it anymore.
So............... get the international version.

I hear ya, LTE is blazing fast. But on my unbranded SGS2, I get downloads of up to 7.5Mbps, pay $10 a month for unlimited HSPA+ data w/ tethering, and everything is plenty fast for what I do on my phone. So, while LTE is tempting for sure, still doesn't outweigh the other benefits.
Now, if I ever need my phone to seed torrents or something, I'll have to look at LTE then... hah.

At work (average congestion), it's consistently 7Mbps+. In areas of great congestion (the mall, etc), it does slow down, but again, for work E-mails, surfing the web, youtube, etc, I've never had issues. Of course, I'm in Austin, TX as well, and I've heard HSPA+ speeds are very much region specific.
If you can get a line through from work with unlimited everything, they may be able to get you onto the smartphone data plan tier, which some folks have gotten up to 10-11+Mpbs. I'm on the $10 a month unlimited non-smartphone plan, so I think AT&T caps it at around 7.5-8Mpbs. Still though, plenty fast for what I do with my phone.
(And, the unlimited tethering is a blessing when you're in airports and stuff. Our US airports blow as there is almost never free WIFI.)

the scorecharts does shows the new mali400 topping the chart with good margin. what else do you need from a gpu ?
The SGS3's Mali-400 is just overclocked.
Anyways, if the US SGS3 comes with the S4 Pro (which has the new Adreno 320) then the difference in GPU will probably be minor.
dude have you seen those scores ? it beats the 4s graphics which we cant deny has a great gpu...
this is more than just an overclocked mali400 ... it may still be a mali400/mp4 but its not just overclocked its remade and has much higher clocks by the look of it
also im not sure about it coming with the s4 pro with adreno 320... i heard its not ready till end of year at earliest.. the mali-400 was the best android gpu and now its the best mobile gpu out atm
^^
u are right its not only just overclocked,there are some changes in the hardware part which we will know eventually in the upcoming days. i can easily OC my sgs2 mali400 to 400mhz, but you people know it wont give the same result as sgs3 which has much more pixels than s2

More cores doesn't = faster...
Look at AMD's bulldozer CPU with 8 cores vs Intel's core i5 with 4 cores...the i5 is faster in basically almost everything except for very specalized applications.
Faster cores > more cores.
The LTE dual core version of the SGS3 will use Krait S4 cores which are faster than A9 Exynos cores.
I wished Samsung did dual core A15s instead of Quad Core A9s.

I for one certainly do. The Exynos 4412 uses a 32nm fab process as opposed to nearly every other A9 architecture based processor (like the 4+1 T3) and High K metal gate tech which basically means twice the processing power of the Exynos 4410 dual core with about 20% less power consumption and that's on a core against core basis. The 4410 was used in the Galaxy S II. So even if the Exynos 4412 was dual core, it's already natively 20% more battery efficient and twice as powerful than last year's model. Clearly we're talking about a lot more than just quad vs dual and 28nm vs 32 or 40. There is a LOT that has gone into the design of the Exynos. For instance keeping it the same size physically as the dual core model, or accepting 128 bit instructions rather than the paltry 64 bit instructions most other mobile processors are limited to.
Trust me, do your research, a Google search of Exynos 4412 brought up instant results that detail what a beast this chip set is.
Like these:

And of course the official press release. Read through this and then the benchmarks you pointed out in the OP (I'm linking em anyway) Anandtech's benchmark tests were performed on demo units on display to handled and groped by hundreds of people. There's no telling how many people had used it before they bench marked it and no telling if they were able to do it clean (reboot device, no other apps running). If not than they tested it after some fairly heavy use and it still proved itself a beast.

Research is your best friend. If you're looking for the most powerful CPU and GPU on a phone right now, this is it. And when the devs get a hold of it, it will become even better and will really be utilized to its full.

Outside of floating point tests such as linpack, CPU benches will even have quad core tegra3 well ahead of the dual core S4
Quadrant, Antutu, etc will all show the same exact same performance gap and it's a big one
Let's get this straight
Main selling points for Dual Core S4 setup = battery life from 28nm die size and integrated LTE

The SGS3's Mali-400 is just overclocked.
Anyways, if the US SGS3 comes with the S4 Pro (which has the new Adreno 320) then the difference in GPU will probably be minor.

Samsung's most exiting announcement yet - the Exynos 5 Octa chipset.:laugh:
It brings 8 processor cores, which distribute the work load among each other.
Four Cortex-A15 cores ensure incredible performance while the other four are low-power Cortex-A7s that kick in for the less demanding tasks and save battery power.
The chipset is based on ARM's big.LITTLE tech, which ensures that you will always get enough performance without having to deal with terrible battery life.
Samsung promises up to 70% lower power consumption compared to the Exynos 5 Dual, which is powering the Google Nexus 10 tablet and the latest Chromebook by Samsung.
The Exynos 5 Octa could posses as much as twice the 3D rendering prowess of the Exynos 4 Quad, which is found in the Galaxy S III. :good:
Will this end to Samsung S4?
Hard to say, normally use exynos 5 quad since no device using it yet
Yet, the other 4 core should use cortex a9
Then totally is a beast already

So? What is it that a single A15 core can not do but 4 A7 cores can? Low expected performance or low power consumption?

I think the main idea about this chip is the low power consumption.
Tegra used single companion core but Samsung uses 4 companion core-like.
Samsung is crazy they may add it in S4, besides they are the manufactures.

Agree. A7 cores may provide good battery life but i guess performance will not be up to the mark. But then there's 4 a15 cores, a heck of performance

All that announcement sounds great, but how to cool it down when reaching high clocks and high temperatures? Isn't this Biglittle chip more suitable in a bigger body , Chromebook, tablet, rather than in a phone? I understand the swapping on the fly between the lower and higher cores, but the heat question is not answered for me. Can somebody with better knowledge enlighten me?

Some rumours suggest that they'll use the 8 core in tablets and chrome books, and that the S4 may have a 4 core version with 2 A15's and 2 A7's. Just a rumour but heat and volts will be a lot lower with 4 less cores. I have no idea how dual A15's are in terms of perfomance, haven't checked other phones benchmarks in ages

You must look at this as the current Intel laptops who have I3,5,7 processors.
When you are browsing the web the onboard videpchip is doing all the rendering. But when you Start up for example FarCry the onboard chip gets overloaded and the graphics card takes over the duty. Power when you need it, to save power.
Another example :
When the V-TEC kicks in yo !

The reason for the A15 and A7 is that the A7 will handle simple tasks and minimal multitasking but when pressure is placed on the CPU it will switch to the A15 to easily handle it then back to A7 when the power of the A15 is not needed aka BIG little tech which means the perfect balance between performance and battery life

If they switch to Dual A15 and Dual A7's then Sony Z will take over in performance and will be the number one choice.
If S4 gonna have Big Small 8core its gonna Rock and will have unbeatable performance.
About the temp, when on 3G and browsing i guess it will be on A7 so temperatures is expected to be low.
Do you know most of the time S3 uses dual core and the rest are off and sometimes single core only!!
Note III will have plenty of space to include this monster of a chip. Looking at all the 5"+ devices at CES, the S IV will also be big enough for it (and also with enough room to dissipate all the heat).
Guys, just think, if you check on wikipedia, there is no Exynos 5 quad and I don’t think they will release any after the OCTA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exynos_(system_on_chip)
As everywhere is said, the exynos 5 quad will be just a murder for a battery, so I’m sure they will use OCTA in S4. Come on Samsung, we want S4 with OCTA !

Wikipedia is written by users, not companies.
There is a Exynos 5 Quad and they announced it in their smart TV's and that expansion module for upgrading for > 2012 models. It's running at 1.3GHz.
We know there's a 5410 (As shown during the Octa presentation at CES) and a 5440, as disclosed in the Linux upstream kernel.

Sad news...
Yes you just read the title of this message right. Our insider just gave us the first official “unconfirmed” specifications of the next generation Galaxy S, the Galaxy S IV. The Galaxy S IV will no longer use the Samsung EXYNOS processor and according to the latest rumours this processor has overheating issues. Today we can confirm Samsung will use the Snapdragon 600 and it is clocked at 1.9 Ghz which is 0.2 Ghz higher than the HTC One. The Galaxy S IV will have 2 GB of RAM and will come in three variants 16, 32 or 64 GB. As the rumours earlier reported Samsung is going to use a Full HD display. The Galaxy S IV uses a 4,99″ Full-HD SoLux Display we have no information if this is based on LCD3 like the HTC One. But a couple of months ago we posted the first hint regarding Samsung’s LCD factory is ready to produce Full HD panels from early 2013. And we also know Samsung’s AMOLED factory does have many problems with the production of full HD AMOLED screens.
We also know more about the build and dimensions of the device. According to our insider the dimensions of the device are 140.1 x 71.8 x 7.7mm and the weight is 138 gram, the new Galaxy S IV will use a home button and will have touch buttons. If you look at the photo below you will see that it will be square formed again, so they dropped the Galaxy SIII design line. He also said the sides are made from aluminium but the back is still plastic which automatic hints to a removable battery which is good to know.
Yesterday we already found out that the Galaxy S IV will have a 13 megapixel camera. Some leaked photos created by the Galaxy S IV showed up to confirm that.
If our insider is right again this is a bad sign for all the EXYNOS and AMOLED freaks out there. Below a list of the confirmed specifications through us right under the specification list you will see the boot screen photo.
- 4,99″ Full-HD SoLux Display
- Snapdragon 600 1.9 Ghz
- 2 GB RAM
- 16, 32 or 64 GB
- 13 Megapixel
- 140.1 x 71.8 x 7.7mm
- 138 gram
- Home button with touch buttons
- Plastic back with aluminium sides
- Removable battery
- Black / White

Exynos 5 Octa uses I think it was 4 low power cores and 4 high speed cores, so it's not a battery drain for low end tasks. (Octa = 8)
I will wait for official word on this, I can't see Samsung announcing the Octa this year, then not using it, it gives competitors a chance to trump it.
If they do use the snapdragon 600 it will be good because whist yes the Exynos is a good processor Samsung will not release decent documentation for it, so developers have a hard time getting AOSP roms working efficiantly, the Snapdragon range is completely open source so roms will work a lot better, and be easier to port. Exynos has already made developers leave Samsung devices.

doubt that, since they got LTE and exynos working together finally. but the snapdragon seems like a give and take situation. that octa looks like it'll be an amazing processor, but if it's a snapdragon then we can finally get AOSP working fine.
as for the LCD, that's gonna be a personal preference for everyone. I wouldn't mind either, but I'd miss the blacks on the LED. the color punch is really nothing, I set my display to natural.
but really, do we even need the octa now? these phones we have now are over powered. I run my note ii at 1ghz with 1 core enabled and notice no differences in day to day use (except video chatting, that requires at least two cores lol) . point is, these quad cores (by today's standards) are just too much, and kinda gimmicky. I don't think we'll need to see the octa for a good year or two.

Samsung have announced the Octa now, it won't be long before other chip manufacturers try to beat it, then Samsung's great idea will be old tech before it comes out. They have no choice but to put it in something if they want to make any use of it.
Btw we will get more details from Samsung on mwc starting tomorrow. Ill believe this only if it comes from Samsung. Whatever the processor or screen it has already been decided and s4 shoukd be in mass production right now.
《posted from s3》
I think that's nt true. Because making a SS on PS and open up that image on a phone and taking a photo in bad light conditions isn't too hard.
Actually, I think that phone is Xperia Z or LG Optimus and photo taken with a S3...
Next Galaxy S device(international version) will have Exynos Octa(5440 or 5410) or Dual(5250) with 5" FULL HD Super AMOLED Display. Why Samsung use another solution? I don't know any logical reason. Warming? Power consumption? Software based reasons? I don't think so. This is my two cents.
On the other hand, I think(I know, I used a lot -I Think-s)next Galaxy S device will have Exynos Octa, 2GB of ram, Mali T604 or T658 GPU, better camera lens(S3's sensor is good but lens is a bit deficient.), 2600mAh battery and also more durable chasis and screen. On software, Samsung will do wonders...
Edit: If I had gramatical mistakes, I want to say I'm sorry for that. Because Eng. is my 3rd language.
You obviously seem to have very little knowledge concerning technical product design. If it' physically impossible at the moment to manage the heating problems in this case, then in fact THIS IS a reason to kick the Octa processor for a Snapdragon...

Hello guys,
I am a newbie and I would love if someone could technically compare this two socs.
I have already read the topics in the Galaxy S4 sections, but they are not updated.
I would like to hear from expert users what are the differences performance-wise.
I also have some questions:
1) Which version is the Octacore soc in the Note 3? 5420?
2) In practice I know that if I choose the Snap800 version I get LTE and 4k video recording; but what are the advantages of the Octa Core soc?
I know that the new Octa Core is 15-20% more powerful than the 5410, but so is the snap800 vs snap600. What is the best in raw performance between the two socs?
3) How does the new Adreno 330 compare against the new Mali T628 in terms of pure performance?
4) I read in the S4 forum that the Exynos 5410 is affected by a bug at the Corelink which caused some slow downs in the switch between A7 and A15 cores. Is the Exynos 5420 bugfree?
5) Which cpu is more future proof? I mean, aren't the A15 cores newer than the Snap's Krait 400?
6) Do we actually know if the 5420 supports the HMP (Heterogenius MultiProcessing)? If it does, will we have to wait for a software upgrade? (kernel?)
7) Which will be the best for battery consuption? Today I read that the Snap800 has an Envelope Tracking which should reduce the battery consuption caused by the mobile network by 30%, but I have read everywhere that the octa core is a bit more power efficient.
Sorry for all those questions and for my english. I study economy and I have just a little knowledge of these things
It does now. And they actually created a song to show that:

Thank you, so we have an answer for my 6th question, but are we sure that the video is referring to the 5420 soc and not to a future revision?
Edit: for the people who might be interest, I found this page in a forum in which there is a comparison between Adreno 330 vs Mali T628:
http://beyond3d.com/showthread.php?p=1768581 and in terms of pure performance the Adreno 330 seems to be around 25-26% better than the Mali. But both deliver more GFlops than the Tegra 4.
So at the moment:
Snap800:
+ Ultra HD 4k video recording;
+ Lte
+ Better GPU performance (aprox 26% more)
OctaCore 5420
+ HMP which should led to better battery life
+ New A15 platform
The only things left to understand is the raw power of the cpu (4 A15 @1.9ghz vs 4 Krait 400 @2.3ghz) and the efficiency (Octa's HMP vs Snap's Envelope Filter http://gigaom.com/2013/09/05/thanks...xy-note-3s-huge-screen-wont-kill-its-battery/ which is said to spare 25% of battery life! Is that believable??)
Any idea?

Don't look at GFLOPS number for 2 different architecture. Doesn't make much sense.
Just as an example, check numbers for Adreno 330 and T4. GFLOPS are quite different, but actual GFXbench numbers are very close.
Samsung says GPU is 2.3 times the Octa 1st-gen.
In SIGGRAPH event, they showed that it's 2x N10 numbers in a prototype. Just not the fps, but the overall demo looks much cleaner. So, I expect the number to be close to 2.5x-3x once it's optimized fully. You will notice that similar happened with T4 Shield. Over period of time, it has got much better result.
Another very nice demo of the T628 GPU:

2) In practice I know that if I choose the Snap800 version I get LTE and 4k video recording; but what are the advantages of the Octa Core soc?
I know that the new Octa Core is 15-20% more powerful than the 5410, but so is the snap800 vs snap600. What is the best in raw performance between the two socs?
3) How does the new Adreno 330 compare against the new Mali T628 in terms of pure performance?
4) I read in the S4 forum that the Exynos 5410 is affected by a bug at the Corelink which caused some slow downs in the switch between A7 and A15 cores. Is the Exynos 5420 bugfree?
5) Which cpu is more future proof? I mean, aren't the A15 cores newer than the Snap's Krait 400?
6) Do we actually know if the 5420 supports the HMP (Heterogenius MultiProcessing)? If it does, will we have to wait for a software upgrade? (kernel?)
7) Which will be the best for battery consuption? Today I read that the Snap800 has an Envelope Tracking which should reduce the battery consuption caused by the mobile network by 30%, but I have read everywhere that the octa core is a bit more power efficient.
Sorry for all those questions and for my english. I study economy and I have just a little knowledge of these things

1) Exynos 5420
4) Exynos 5410 had its CCI disabled-a hardware limitation, not a bug. The CCI is enabled in 5420
6) It does support all the 3 processing types. Latest linux kernel has the support.
The rest of your questions (3,5,7) need real life testing and user reaction and professional reviews as the two variants will finally be out.
BTW, the youtube video demonstrated another new variant- Exynos Octa-Pella which most probably will be called Exynos 5440 and will come later this year.

Thank you very much. I learn a lot everyday here on Xda!
If you want a more future-proof device, i'd go with an obvious (for me, at least) choice for the S800. You'll get the drivers and more dev support. Samsung doesn't release all the drivers - they never did and i don't think that's going to change for their Exynos chipsets.
Not to mention the fact that if you like CM/AOSP stuff, you better stick with the Snapdragon model

Really ?
And I thought GPU drivers got updated on my s3(Exynos) :wink:

Going with the s800.
Purely for the fact that it will receive better dev support.
Interesting to see how they both compare against each other.
If they both had 4g it would be a different story - What is samsungs excuse for the lack of 4g? Surely the 5420 supports it
I'd go for the 5420 for the HMP and the Wolfson DAC

ASAP? Or did you mean AOSP?

Snap800:
+ Ultra HD 4k video recording;
+ Lte
+ Better GPU performance (aprox 26% more)
OctaCore 5420
+ HMP which should led to better battery life
+ New A15 platform

Wait, is this true? Only the Snap800 will have LTE support? That doesn't seem logical? Isn't the Exy5420 supposed to be a super modern SOC?

Damn...the Wolfson dac.....serious point !
Is the Krait dac on the Snapdragon that much worse ?
.
LTE has been around quite sometime already... i wonder why samsung processor don't support it...
Edit: Never mind
.
I really want to know the performance of Exynos version before I buy it (because Snapdragon version is not available in my country)
Is there any lag in Exynos version?

Regarding better dev support for the S800 a person ( most likely spam but I am unsure not being fully immersed in the tech world) on this site in the comment section claims vice versa, poor support from qualcomm and better support from samsung.
Seems I can't post the link because I am a new member. Can anyone confirm this?
Also on a side note, what size is the architecture of the A15 built on and the new Snapdragon 800 eg. 22nm process or 28 nm process?
Preliminary benchmarks!
Some preliminary benchmark from Exynos Octa version.
