Hello XDA!
Does anyone know if it would be possible to import the SGS IV edition with exynos octa core and 4G (LTE) (SHV-E300) to Europe?
I can't find any thread with that suggestion - Is it because it's just not possible (some import/export restrictions), technical difficulties (carriers not supporting etc.) or just too expensive?
My case is: I own the SGS II and my carrier has planned to open for the LTE in late Q3. So at one side, I want to have the i9505, but when I read the benchmarks I really want to buy i9500. Then I saw a thread in here some place and an article at gsmarena saying that the korean version would be, kind of a fusion of i9500 and i9505
So is it possible or should I just forget about it?

Just be careful in doing so. To my knowledge, a lot of firmware built into those S4's are to support Korean specific carrier features which can interfere with your carrier's features. For example, I know texting is usually heavily effected. Given the limited release of it, just be ready to run into difficulty and have patience if you're going to do so before it's fully compatible with what your carrier has to offer for just a few higher benchmarks.

Thanks for the quick and very useful answer!
Okay. damn.. I just really wanted that octa core.. In Denmark, where I live, we get the Snapdragon and only the 16 gb version, and I would love to have the 4G oppertunity as well..

I live in South Korea, the official release will be 25th of April which are couple days counting from I posted this.
I am also still waiting for the detail review and official specification, even here in S. Korea, some web just mention internal memory 16 G, 1.9 octa core, some mention 1.8 octa core.. well wait and see.
I sent some cellphone frequently to South East Asia countries, so far ok but need to deal with custom stuff. Not sure about europe.
Yes, absolutely right if S.Korea smartphone made very custom to S. Korea market, like limitation of SMS to 80 character, they have DMB TV that only works in S. Korea etc. You have to deal with it if you use it in your country.
cheers
If you really want 4G, not sure if really worths buying the Octa. There is an Antutu test where S600 gets 28k, just as Octa and S600 have better GPU.
For me, 4g is just stupid, I want Octa but waiting some reviews, more precisely some opinions related to the battery life and some updated GPU benchmarks

I live in Hong Kong and have a guy importing it from Korea to me. I have a choice of all 3 phones though so really hard to decide which one to get.

It's a good choice, but it's same as the international one. I don't want a limited edition, because I know that I will have few-to-zero support for it.
Exactly the same. I live in France and we only have that ****ing snapdragon with its old fashionned adreno 320. I wish I could buy the octa version, but with 4g (carriers are upgrading to 4g 800MHz 1800MHz and 2600MHz I think) **** I'm fed up, always compromise with samsung. I wanted to import the shv-e300 but it is too specific to korea. It's gonna be hard to find international upgrade. Maybe the rugged version "active" will fully satisfy me I'm ready to pay for it. But not ready to pay for an ordinary s600 :angel:

Apparently, a GS4 with a Snapdragon 800 chipset has showed up on Antutu benchmarks, clock speeds are apparently going to be 2.3 ghz with the Adreno 330 GPU. So, if it was me, I would wait for that one. Also it's called the Galaxy S4 LTE Advanced or something.

I just upgraded to the SVH-300K and rooted it. It is an excellent phone. The SMS limit doesn't bother me simply because everyone I know uses kakao talk or viber. I only know 2 people that don't have smart phones here. I have found no flaws with it that can't be fixed after rooting, i.e. removing bloatwear. The phone is extremely fast and I love the dual application usage feature were you can actively use 2 apps at one time. To the best of my recollection I hadn't heard anyone mention this on reviews for the I9500 and I9505. Is this application not on them or are people just not using it much?

Samwung galaxy note comes with sooo many version...
There is the original version in 1.4 ghz processor
A korean version (like mine) packed with 1.5ghz processor, 4G LTE, a tv module and a bit thicker compared to the original
And I saw another one, galaxy note with no physical button... just 4 old school touch bottons
its really confusing and disappointing that samsung is like selling different kinds of phone in one name. And with that, its so hard to customize it because of major hardware differences..

I tried to search but there is no specific thread with answers. Starting a thread would be better I guess.

The home market will always get the LTE with the TV module version. Thats what they did with the SGS II as well.
The 1.4 Ghz version with the physical home button is their international version which is sold ALL OVER aside from the U.S.
the "Old School" 4 Button one you refer to is the U.S version. Its specified that all devices they sell will have the 4 capacitive buttons to follow a schema. Also the U.S version will get a Snapdragon processor. As to the reason behind why the diff processor is unknown to me. I am sure there is some tie up or standard set behind that.
Same was the case with the SGS II variants. Aside from the ATT version of the original SGS II (not Skyrocket).
Majority of the people wont MOD their device and those who do, will come to XDA to obtain the proper MOD / ROM for their specific device.
The buttonless version it's the US at&t LTE note. Basically the same as your Korean.

The reason Qualcomm CPU is used is because it supports 4G LTE, and the Samsung Exynos does not. Sadly the 1.5Ghz Qualcomm CPU is considerably slower than the Exynos chip. Qualcomm is Cortex A8 chip, Exynos 4210 is Cortex A9 chip, which is more effective and faster.

Its not an att note. Its north American, Canada is getting the exact same version on all 3 major carriers BEFORE att even gets it. So call it north American or i717.
And why its different from n7000? Because samsungs CPU doesn't support lte. So they have to use a different CPU till they have a working lte exynos cpu.

I read lots of Korean galaxy note forum through internet and lots of people in Korea have bought international version of galaxy note because of the hardware differences and other reason is that Korean version of note comes with LTE which is amazingly fast. I mean its super fast as I saw the demo of it but you have to pay a price for it!! since its just started recently. However, because its new and there are lots of places in korea where LTE coverage is an issue as well and that is why lot of people have bought international version of note as 3g data plan is unlimited whereas LTE is not...
Samsung made so many editions. Does 1.4g CPU 2- core and 1.5g one 1-core?

This week I'm upgrading and will go for the S4. I live in the UK and will go onto Vodafone, however I will be open to switch carriers. I understand there are 3 variants of the S4 the Korean, International and UK/US. And the latter being the Gt-i9505, with the Snapdragon 600 and Adreno 320, while the International is the Gt-i9500, which has the Octa chip and PowerVR SGX 544MP3, yeah I know people will tell me there is virtually no difference, however I'm interested in buying the i9500 as I'd like to see what such a chipset can do, and more so to the point, I dont want to spend so much money and not even be the best (me being me). So my question is, where can I buy on contract an S4 i9500, the 3g version? As after searching all the carriers websites I cannot find one anywhere, and the area I live anyway will never see 4g, so whats the point? If its impossible to get one through a carrier, is there anyway to find one without a £550 upfront cost? As buying the 505 would be pointless, as I wont buy the 4g deal, so I'll have a 4g capable phone which I cant use, in an area it wont appear, with a worse processor and GPU. If it is totally impossible I'll accept that however I like choices and as a buyer spending this much I would like a choice..
Thanks in advance for any answers!
I'm intersted in this too . .specially now that the AT&T S4 has the bootloader locked.
Does international (Octa) have LTE?

No one can say for sure, but you'll likely need to get the 9500 from an online retailer or another carrier. Samsung has yet to put the LTE radio in its Exynos SoC (system on a chip - what powers the 9500) so that's not going to happen mid-release for the Galaxy S4. And its highly unlikely they are going to release an LTE-enabled one and non-LTE one onto the same carrier in the same market. That just creates buyer confusion.
Only thing is for you "best of the best" types, the octa will run on the arm 7 chip most of the time. So in reality the snapdragon version is better, unless of course you just get off on running benchmarks all day. The arm 15 is the best but what's the point if it never gets used? Just my opinion, I have no right to tell anyone what they need. I WANT LTE, but all I really need is a big screen, email and a decent talker.

Why is Samsung phasing out their Exynos 5 chip and implementing snapdragons in their upcoming phones? Its a shame that they are using their competition in their own devices rather than try to improve their own and then market it.
I love my i9500 but the lack or dev support is really depressing.
I honestly don't want to see the downfall of the Exynos 5.

I agree that its disappointing that the Exynos 5 chip hasn't been as good as they projected, and publicised.
But I do think that its a good move to use the snapdragon 800 in their i95005G device (google edition)
Samsung are giving customers the best they can for the S4. Using the Exynos 5 would be a mistake, as its reign as the best chip will be short lived. (slightly better than the snapdragon 600)
The 800 will be a lot better, and for a flagship device they need the best. Not to mention LTE for many countries is a tech selling point.
I think you guys are being premature. Exynos vs. Qualcomm is more about baseband than it is anything else. Last year before LTE grew in deployment the ratio was 2/3 Exynos 1/3 Snapdragon. This year it's reversed. And the only device that's "rumored" to use S-800 is the LTE Advanced SGS4 that's only being sold in Korea.
Qualcomm announced a new LTE baseband called RF360 in February that's supposed to be available in the fall. It allows a single baseband to be used across all 40 different LTE bands. Once it's deployed Samsung could use Exynos wherever they chose. If RF360's available in time for the N3's release I'd fully expect it to be Exynos.

Hopefully they do use the Exynos 5 and continue to give it 100% support in the future.
What i was mostly scared about was that the i9500 users like myself are left in the dark due to not enough dev support, and it seems like all the devs are slowly backing away from the i9500.

Samsung go on record stating they will release code for this and that... and almost never do.
Plus we buy the device. People are switching to other devices because of ROM availability and developers supporting other phone manufacturers.
Its in their interest to sell as many phones as possibile. So they are losing market share buy not following through with their promisses.
Thinking about their prospective... Apparently not enough to make a difference

Don't you mean I9505G that is being released next week? And if so they are using the same chip as the I9505, namely the Snapdragon 600, not 800. For all intents and purposes they're the same device.

Yeah agreed... got my device number confused.. SnapD 600 in the G addition...
The snapdragon 800 is appearing in the GS4 in Korea first then the US market. (as stated by engadget, pocketnow)
Wonder if there will be a mass exodus of snapdragon 600 S4's on ebay just before release
They will never going to use Exynos on Note 3?

So the leak of a South Korea user manual doesn't quite apply to the Western world, but it does imply the likelihood of the same powerhouse Snapdragon 800 processor inside the rumored Galaxy Note III. Also, the user manual doesn't specifically state that the device is a Galaxy S4, however the specs and dimensions match those of the device, making it probable that a variant running Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 is imminent.
It is unclear if we will see a Galaxy S4 with the latest Snapdragon 800, but it is an exciting possibility. Check back in later for Samsung's Premiere 2013 Galaxy and ATIV event news, which kicks off at 2pm ET.

Unlikely given that there is nothing out there at the moment that can make a Galaxy S3 break sweat, never mind an S4. Someone would have to be a bit stupid to be that bothered about extra performance which won't even be noticed in the real world.
This S4 is more than sufficient for my needs until my contact is up in 2 years time.

IMO, Why Google need snapdragon for there Google S4.?
Simple, Google don't want to be Apple - COZ, Samsung was the chip maker of Apple till yet but after there fight of patents, Apple simply drop there idea for CHIPS.
Samsung is preparing Exynox 4 (not OCTA ONE Exynox 5) chipset for there Tizen devices. They have successfully tested it on i9500 model.
Dont be feared guys. New Note 3 will be powered by Exynox 5 chipset. Samsung will support their Exynox chipset very well.:good:

But you'd have to make sure the network bands are compatible with your telco.
Personally, I'd recommend the I9505. Where I live, I get 40mbps LTE and there's plenty of Dev action here. We already have CM!

The korean supports any network and you recieve an external chrger for the battery and another battery i think.
i had the i9500 and he was Great but im still not sure...
The lte doesnt matter because in my country we are still not supporting LTE until 2015 or something like it ( i live in israel )
what about the htc one? havent tried it yet...
whats the best phone available ?

Um, no. The E300S/K/L all use different bands that are used by SKT, KT, and LG respectively. That's was the reason why I couldn't import one to Singapore. If the bands are compatible with your telco, you might wanna wait for the E330S (Snapdragon 800!!)
If LTE doesn't matter, then still get the I9505.
And as to the matter of which is the best phone, that is an old argument. As always there is no answer. Go compare the features of different phones: whether you want the waterproof xperia z, the sexy One, or the feature packed S4. They're all good choices. Good luck!

I have the I9500 and works great.... we dont have LTE though (Costa Rica) so there is no need of the other models
im talking about performance, whats the best?
about the E330s i cant use it.. i need HSDPA (3G) 850,2100 and it doesn't support.
im in a huge dilemma and i dont know which one to buy...
The HTC one wasnt launched on my country so i havent used it yet.
really i dont know what to do, i loved the GS4 but maybe ill love the HTC one more?
ill be in Hong Kong next month and i need to decide by then.
dont know what to do...
P.S - in Hong Kong they're selling all of the GS4 variants and all the variants of each phone.

How you get the lollipop?
OK here's my dilemma I live in the States and have Lte in my location. But I'm fine with HSPA+ speeds. I've never owned an octa-core phone and I know apps are not optimized for octacore but the performance increase is still there correct? At least as far as the system goes. I'm torn on what to buy. Thanks for any input guys.

n9005
Get the T-Mobile N900T variant, it has AT&T/T-Mo LTE bands and works fine on both networks if unlocked. You can get it a bit cheaper than N9005 as well. I flashed a ROM that was modded from N9005's stock to my N900T so it reports as N9005 now but has full LTE support.

Keep in mind, it's not really a true octacore cpu. It's either in 4core heavy cpu mode or 4core light cpu mode. And Samsung has specifically said they won't be updating it to actually run all 8 cores at the same time (which might be better that the sd800, but I doubt by any serious margin). As it stands, you get roughly equal performance, but you don't get 4G video or lte with exynos. That, and I believe there is a ton more development for sd800 vs exynos.
So unless something drastically changes, the exynos is just limiting you vs the sd800 version.

Good point I was reading an article just a sec ago about the octa not really being octa. Basically a sells point. The n9005 looks more promising.
