HI,
Can any one help me in knowing the differences between chipset, device model, hardware, processors for Galaxy S4 on different carriers.
This will help me in identifying the carrier models I have to buy to certify my app.
If there are no major differences I can certify it on ATT model and say it will be good on other carrier models too.
Thanks,
Loukya C
This is the app development forum! Ask in the S4 forum or use Google (better).

Why can't Samsung make one chipset that supports for all countries. I don't have a great knowledge in chip designing. But i am always curious to know why different chipsets are needed for LTE. Why Exynos is not compatible with LTE (USA LTE). How is the scenario with iphone, iphone 5 is in India too. Does it have a different chipset from USA's ?
Processer problem? or not

Well.. I don't think that problem is into Main chipset.
The galaxy s3's Exynos 4412 processer supports LTE. but samsung released by 3G version. I don't know why is itand also, samsung released korean galaxy s4 version by LTE with Exynos again
_______________________________
P.s
(Korean Version of Galaxy S3 gets Exynos4412 LTE/2GB RAM/and also LTE Conn.)
Sorry for bad english
Also with Note2 , Samsung launched with One Exynos processer chipset worldwide, same phone, just different modem and radio files.
I thought Samsung did sortout LTE band issue.
But but, Samsung dissapointed me with snapdragon qualcomm chipset in Canada again.

I think it s about the Trust from Americans
i m not american but i trust on Snapdragon (from USA) more than Exynos (& Cortex from Korea and UK ...) !!!
OR
maybe Samsung try to behave WISER in US
step by step and better performance
:good:
Samsung will do the same sh*t with the S4 as they did with the S3.
3 months after releasing the S3 i9300 in Australia they released the S3 4g i9305. Helps boost sales to suckers like me.
This time they'll probably release the i9505 lte snapdragon version then a few months down the track claim they found a way to get 4g working on the Octa and probably release a i9510.

Was this exynos lte variant released on all the major carriers? More in particular was it released for at&t?
exynos for note 2, im guessing they were able to fit in a LTE chip due to the size of the phone 5.5
since the s4 keeps the s3 form factor, plus almost 1mm thinner, there was no way they couldve included lte with the exynos.
Plus they are having manufacturing issues with the exynos, so by fall when the note 3 launches, it shouldnt be a issue.

Not sure but I believe in the US they stayed the same dual core models. In some overseas markets where the international model was sold they then introduced the quad core lte model (i9305).

Hi everyone,can someone please clearmy head with these different models of the S4 out there. There is l720, m919, i337, all from different carriers around north america. On top of all that there is the 8 core 9500, and the quad 9505. From what i understand,all the carrier variants are the 9505, just branded with a different model number for different carriers. Correct? Im looking to purchase the LTE version, but because now i realized that the updates will be rolling out carrier by carrier, rather than by the general 9505, im starting to lean towards the international. Im not after LTE that much, but i wanted the LTE because its cheaper and i did tons of research, where most people say that octa lags and overheats more. What are your experiences? Any help and input is appreciated. Thanks.

Simply check what model your local carrier(s) uses. There are many apps to identify which processor you have. Most S5's use Qualcomm, so if you are anywhere other the middle east or perhaps some areas of Japan or Korea, you will have a Qualcomm processor. The 900H model uses Exynos, other models e.g. 900A, 900D, 900F, 900P, 900S, 900T, 900V, 900W8, SC-04F, et cetera are Qualcomm.
There is a lot more support for Qualcomm models. There is a lot of useful information in existing threads. A perusal or search of the forum would have answered all of your questions and a lot more.

It is a Qualcomm device.
Install CPU-z and see.
Thanks
That x version is display model.
Its a demo device (hence the 900X) and its probably not covered by warranty. It takes some time and effort to get it working too mate, here is a thread for your device http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733083&goto=newpost.
Recently bought a Sprint SPH-L720T and need to buy some accessories but most sites list compatible models as i9500, i9505, i9505G or i9506?

None of the above,its an SPH-L720 Sprint S4 TriBand CDMA. The i95xx device are GSM.International/ATT/T-Mobile,ect. accessories should work across the board.

If by accessories you mean things like a case I think all S4s (not S4Mini) are the same dimensions. Google for confirmation
SPH-L720T designates the carrier and model of your phone - it's a Sprint/subsidiary Samsung Galaxy S 4, same as an SPH-L720, but is Triband capable - hence the T at the end.
GT-i95xx refers to the chipset. The i9505 uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon 600 chipset, whereas the i9500 uses Samsung's own Exynos 5 Octa chipset. Either chipset (and a few others) can be in any model of the Galaxy S 4. The i9506 refers to the Snapdragon 800 chipset. You can find out which specific chipset and model of the GS4 you have by digging into your phone info - most of your external accessories won't give two ****s about what kind of chipset you have, though.

You'd think that on a site like XDA this kind of simple knowledge would be commonplace, but as can be seen people like pgriffinsc like to contribute to conversations without knowing wtf they're talking about. This is how bad/wrong/misleading information gets propagated... do your part to fight that trend by providing sources.
One thing I'd like to know is why are there so many variants of the Note 4?
What's the purpose, isn't the snapdragon 805 supposed to have so many LTE bands to precisely avoid having to force manufacturers to make so many phone variants, isn't it supposed to have global LTE?
Please don't tell me the only reason Samsung made so many variants is to cater to service providers that wanted the bootloader locked.
This situation is making development, root etc a nightmare.
Do you know if the s6 has a many variants as the Note 4? Or has Samsung continued this stupid trend?
I don't know about the S6 as I'm not interested with a phone without sdcard aupport but the many variants of the Note 4 are found in the USA and you're right it is partly to cater for the carriers as they play MONOPOLY. Korea has a different model I guess compared to china model and the rest of the world. I also wish they would make a phone with global LTE etc. But the Note 4 N910C and N910F have the best LTE coverage compared to previous models like Note 2 and Note 3.
I too don't understand it. surely upgrades would be easier as well I think the iPhone has only one variant
