Hello,
I bought a 9505 (willingly, thought it the best since i saw some old posts) but there is some posts that confusing me as hell. i think i still can exchange it for 9500.
can you please tell me which one is better? 9500 or 9505?
its seems my phone is sucking battery like vampire

Thanks in advance.
Keep the i9505 if you want to use LTE.
Battery life between the two variants will be very similar (if not almost identical right now) due to the i9500 not making use of the big.LITTLE battery saving abilities. (see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258519)
Thank you but LTE is not available in my country yet. you think 9500 is faster and better?
Like in chinese samsung shop, the i9500 has LTE too.
As here in Germany, it´s a question of availability. You can not buy any Exynos S4 here. You can not buy any 32GB/64GB i9505 here. At the moment, everything you can buy is the 16GB i9505 Snapdragon.
I own it and I like it very much. Maybe... the speed of the exynos will be about 10% higher in geekbench2. But that´s not important at all. You will run everything smoothly on an s3 too... both, the i9500 and i9505 will be able to make you lucky for at least two or more years.
In my opinion, nobody really needs an i9500
i am a fool because i have paid 10,000 thousands bangladeshi taka extra to get the 9505 (about $140 USD). only because i thought its has better processor than 9500
It seems your mobile network signal is quite bad. The phone will keep trying to connect and the radio drains battery. Battery life is better when you have a good network connection.
it seems my S4 has some serious issue with network, i just installed the sim to S3 and network seems to be perfect.... is there any way to test it?
In my opinion i9505 is better.
Both have very powerful CPU the i9500 probably just beats the i9505 but the GPU in the i9505 just beats the i9500.
To be perfectly honest they are both very capable, powerful devices that will be good for at least another year or so.

its seems network reception is really bad on this phone. i am on different network but still getting poor reception.
its seems there is an issue with GPS. its off but still showing up on history details

This phone got a 4.3 inch screen
And it runs Gingerbread
It just cost 150 pounds, thats just 50 more pounds than the X8
and it is going to be available worldwide sim unlocked
but the processor is not dual core
and its not in xda forums
What‘s type of this phone?I think it is worthwhile .
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xperia_mini-3947.php
i think this would be better 2.3 and a 1GHz processor
the answer on your question depends on one thing: wheter a cpu is armv7 or armv6, if it's armv7 i'd say go and get it, but if it's not, then i wouldn't recommend it. does someone have any information about that? some accurate specification... i saw different opinions about that on forums. if it is armv7 i would also consider chosing it as my next replacement for x8.
Cheap case
Slow processor
Pointless pre-installed apps
Weak battery
I'd prefer a phone which is officially supported by CM

its predecessor is supported most likely this one will also get that support
and it got so much ram
Don't buy any chinese made phones !
Quality sucks !
I guarantee !
Go for the known brands
Such as SE .. Samsung .. HTC .. Motorolla
And so ON..
Do NEVER buy any chinese phone !
ZTE Skate? I don't think so, that it's good replacement
Its still ARMv6 is it? I won't suggest you to buy it. Because one time later you will regret buying it. No flash player, unable to high quality games, bla3.
I guess it is ARM v6.
Why, because if i am not wrong, i saw a post that, ARM v7 is minimum 1ghz above.

So, you could buy the Samsung Galaxy S1, it´s the second phone after the X8 that got GingerDX!
Hey guys, I just need some help checking if this method is sound. I came up with it in the car just about an hour ago. The basic jist is just a uniform standardised way of comparing processors. Let me know what you think. Link Below

It'll make more sense if you read the explanation first.

Well, it still does not solve the problem of weighing both between the tests and possible within each test run.
So the question still would be "11% better for what?".
Interesting..

Sorry, I’m not sure if I follow the first half of the question but in response to the second half.
It doesn't really work that. Each processor would naturally have their pros and cons so one processer would be “better” at some things than the other, but this is a final overall average-comparative method.
The method strictly compares 2 phones while reducing the sensitivity of processor bias within tests on a standardised scale. Maybe it would be best to Imagine if each percent was a unit on this comparative scale.
It that would finally state something like: “The Nexus 4 scores 11.9 Units against the galaxy note II”
Which is not major where as something line “The galaxy note II scores 55 Units against the galaxy note 1” is massive and you’d know that the note II is a lot better than the original.
I hope this all makes sense. Haha it’s just an idea let me know if you still think it’s rubbish
All it means that out of 100 things, the Nexus can handle 11 things better than the Note 2. The other 89 things performed par to par on both phones

so i just lost my s4 mini frustrating i know but any way
i have got some money on me and i actually owned a i9505 before
long story short here is my question i didnot like the overheating and the battery drain on the i9505
so i wanna know which version to get i9500 , i9505, i9506
i dont care about performance since they are really near in that field
i dont care about lte since my country doesnot have it
all i care about is the dev community , good battery life , and no OVERHEATING with regular usage
note* if any body knows a better phone than the s4 in the same price rannge i would be glad to hear it
Get an i9505.. All devs have this device

well back in the time i had the i9505 the deb community was really slow so are u sure
As having both, i9505 and i9506 I have to say take i9506 now, just because @arter97 made fully working CM 11 port from Note 3 to it, and he also port many other Rom's and really good kernel and governor.
If you want all possible different roms working then take i9505, but for speed and long lasting battery consider i9506.
My i9506 LTE-A running on CM/arter97 kernel:

so is the battery life all that better ?
and what about the over heating
Decent battery drain, there was Bluetooth on 7-8h connected to car, over 1h speaking thru that Bluetooth, lot of surfing.
No any kind overheating, just keeps going like small Duracell bunny.

That's with a stock 2600 battery?

What rom and kernel are you using

Stock 2600mAh battery, gt-i9506(LTE-A), running on arter97 note 3 port of Cyanogenmod 11 with arter97 kernel 3.1 using arteractive governor.
ThyrusHOLO dark theme and bit more/better trigger points on automatic brightness levels.

Now when posting there is bit over 7h SOT.
mine is 9505 and i'm very pleased with its stability.
Greetings, I'm looking forward to buying a new phone and I'm seeing that S4 LTE gets the best scores in budget phones. Even beats normal S5. Is this true? Anyone have 3Dmark benchmark installed on their S4? This is very important to me, if anyone could help me out I'd be very grateful. I'm looking for best performing phone in games/emulation and I'm thinking of getting either LG G2 or Xperia Z2 but it seems S4 LTE beats them both and I want to know if it's true. S4 LTE has even lower clocks on GPU compared to Z2 but it performs better so I'm not trusting it very much.

To be honest, you can`t feel real world difference in games between the devices you are comparing, but on paper S4LTEA is best.
I get 19420 3DMark Unlimited score and Antutu 45K.
I don`t recommend you to buy S4LTEA just because I own it, but (for me) it is great device in almost every aspect. Maybe Z2 is better in certain features. Mostly it`s matter of taste which one is better.
It also depends if you want to root and flash a custom rom. I don't know how many roms there are for the I9506. The most supported s4 model is the I9505.
In terms of roms, I think the G2 and Z2 might have more to offer.
It depends mostly on what you want. If you do want to get the most performance then you will probably have to root and install a custom rom at some point.
Hello and thanks for developing such a good ROM for Android!
I'm looking for info specific for Note 4 910C, Exynos. There's any prediction of when it would be available?

Exynos devices? Unlikely. Developers hate them.
That's really bad news... So good results with a Galaxy Note 2 N7100.
Not a bad hardware, but without the great work from OmniROM team I'm feeling abandoned.
I'll never lose my hope that one day it will be supported, among others. In the meantime, would you guys, a lot more experienced than me, recommend me another ROM for this specific model?

I don't think anyone has supported any of the Exynos5 variants well. Yeah, sort-of "supported", but not WELL.
The hatred opensource developers have had towards Samsung has been no secret since late 2012, Samsung devices, especially Exynos 4 and later (Exynos3 was great due to being used in a Nexus. The Exynos 5250 in the Nexus 10 was vastly different from all of the other 5 variants), are the last ones you want to buy if you want consistent and reliable community support.
Samsung has made a point for years of NEVER using the same SoC in their flagships as they do in Nexus devices. (Nexus S was the only exception to this, and that was their first Nexus.)
