we've see in the news the South Korea only GS4 with the Snapdragon 800 beast
I hope Samsung release a 800 powered Samsung Galaxy Note III LTE in September :good:
Who else :highfive:
It's surely gonna be in the note 3.
unless there's a better one at that time

nope, but samsungs own 8 core (4x A15 4 4x A7) as used in the S4 i9500 does not have LTE, but the snapdragon S4 I9505 version does

That's not entirely true, AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717 (not Internationa N7000) used a SnapDragon as described here:

ok, there has been a snapdragon dual core note.
The 3 kings of CPU the hill right now are
the LTE quad core Snapdragon's
600 as used in the LTE S4 i9505 and HTC one
800 beast as used in the South Korea only S4
and the
Non LTE Exynos 5 Octa 5410 8 core
I hope Samsung will put the 800 in the Note 3

big.LITTLE architecture failure, too much over heating! the s4 i9500 comes with a lot of issues & problems related to the exynos hardware! I used to own one, came back to note 2

My wife own a S4 (i9500) and never had a heating problem or any problem at all. Yes it's a little bit hot when the A15 kicks in for a long time but summer in Shanghai is really hot and nothing to freak out. I also sold a couple of them to people I know and none of them have issues. They all love it. I think you highly exaggerate when you say "lot of issues".
Note II/III LTE with Snapdragon 800
I am purchasing the note III that will have the Snapdragon 800!!! I Want it!
I for one would love to see a note II ( a 720p screen) & the snapdragon 800 paired together. Add a custom kernel to U.C. (& U.V. [ but not necessarily along with other performance tweaks]) to around 1.5-1.8Ghz from 2.2-2.3GHz and I believe we would have a device with a great balance of performance and even better battery life that the current Note II.
The Adreno 330 matched up with 2-3GB of ram would definitely handle the 720p resolution with amazing grace, completing task and powering down quicker than the Adreno 320 even in Multi-view. For game play and performance, I will let you use your imagination but I am not referring to Words with Friends or Angry Birds.
I do not use S-Voice. Google Now is my preferred software of choice. I like to have a snappy UI (with great graphics, it is eye pleasing) and wish for even longer battery life when undergoing long periods of heavier use ie: 2.5hr of phone calls then; watching Netflix or a 720p film/tv episode from my sd card while responding to 20-30 mssgs/emails; an hour of HD game play and then video chat before going to bed. I travel often, can you tell? Let us not forget about constantly web browsing to search for the latest updates on S800’s/platforms power draw.
Look, we cannot have everything that we want, trade-offs are inevitable. A Beast of a phone/phablet that can handle the next 2 OS upgrades is what we all are praying for. I’m saying I would love that balance and think others would too. A Snapdragon 800 clocked up to 1.72-1.78Ghz in a note II with S-Voice wake commands disabled should have a comparable UI experience, if not slightly better, compared to the current NII’s and hopefully improved battery life.
Once again, I know this is about the Note III - please no flaming I am purchasing the note III that will have the Snapdragon 800!!! I Want it!
I an thinking of (min/max increase to) 1.5-2.5days of battery life on moderate to heavy use... am i the only one thinking that could be possible using a 720p screen? ... because i do also want the Adreno 320 GPU higher off-screen capabilities for presentations & gameplay
I know,... i do want it all but who doesn't... but what do you think about the 720p idea?
New octa would be better than S800 imo.

Anything above 300ppi is wasted on normal eye from more than 10cm, from more normal 25cm, 240ppi is more than enough. I have note 2 and lenovo k900, side by side from normal distance I can see no difference in black text on white screen quality (white on black is better on Lenovo, that is true). So it would be nice, but by no means a dealbraker for me

Who says 300 is perfect? I was at the local o2 shop and played with a s4 and was amazed at the screen. Ever since Apple started this retina display I always wanted that in our devices. With a 1080p on 5.7 inch it's gonna be just awesome to read and play on the note 3.
Seriously try out the s4 and see how well the text looks.

I say it's perfect. I have both to compare as I wrote @5.5 inch 720p and 1080p are almost indistinguishable from normal use distance. You say it's not, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Unless you put your nose almost to the screen you won't see any difference. Of course, given chance I would take FHD but to pay premium for it? No way Reading books - I do it every day on Note 2, playing games - with current GPU it would be suicide to try FHD gaming @ full details. Note 3, whatever they put in it will have to be much faster to handle FHD, the only reason I'm happy about that is because I will use MHL to play on my TV and then it will finally use full resolution. Other than that FHD on screen this size is useless, companies have limited numbers to compete with, so they up the display resolution (putting further strain on battery because higher res requires faster GPU and CPU to drive it well) or camera megapixels.
It drives my all the closer to switching to Chinese phones - 1/2 the price, almost the same hardware - you can get Note 2 lookalike (although with MTK CPU, but almost equal in speed) for about 300$, of course, no SPen, but that was only an example.
Oh, and you get FHD display that you like so much
I know there are lots of threads like this, but everyone has their own opinion on which things are important when choosing, a smartphone. Though I know that both phones are beasts in normal tasks, I'm kinda confused about some things: Do you think that games like Asphalt 7 and Real Racing 3 will ever get optimized for i9500? They already run pretty well on i9505, but on the other hand, in games that are not optimized for neither the octa or quad, like GTA Vice City are running better on the octa. And what do you think which phone would be better for upcoming titles like Asphalt 8. Also its gpu, the PowerVR SGX544MP3 usually scores better in benchmark than the Adreno 320 in the i9505. I also know that the i9505 will get more support from devs, but a guy at androidcentral could already run all th 8 cores simultaneously on his i9500, and an anonymous CM dev has already bought an i9500, and Faryaab and Grarak are trying to build CM for it. LTE is not important for me because I don't have an LTE contract. So what are your opinions whicth one should I choose?
How many more of these threads do we really need? This question has been done to death. A quick search will get you everything you need.

Running 8 cores at the same time would most likely need to be done with the charger connected to the phone, so you might as well buy a decent laptop for the same amount of money and you get to play more games than Android has to offer.
Otherwise, get the i9505 or wait for the succesor.

Thanks for all replies, but I would like to know what do you think will games be optimized for the i9500 because I think it has lot of untamed power inside, but i think samsung is not taking advantage of the power of the Exynos 5410 and the PowerVR gpu maybe because it would be more powerful than the i9505. For example the iPad 3, which is a really good gaming device, uses a PowerVR SGX543MP4 which can handle only half of the number of the triangles S4's gpu can handle, but still performs better in games due to the lack of optimizition. It is pathetic in my opinion that such titles as Asphalt 7 and Real Racing 3 are not optimized for i9500 at all. I want to ask what do you think? Will these titles be optimized ever for i9500? Don't get me wrong I think the i9505 is a beast too, but I don't see so much potential in it.
As it had been announced, there are already good successor of S4 SOCs.
There is a new Exynos and then you also have the Snapdragon 800.
The gaming may or may not be optimized for S4 versions, since it all depends on the game producers.
Regarding the games on i9500, it has been said it runs smoother than i9505.
I personally wouldn't buy a smartphone for gaming capability, since the android has a limited number of good games and quite often I find that I enjoy better an adventure game than a car racing simulator.
For the money you spend on an S4, you can get a good gaming console and never get bored.
Then again, if you didn't buy a phone yet, and you can afford to wait a little, you can probably buy an improved version of S4 this autumn.
Like the titel already says is this device good for gaming like Mc 5 Black Out etc etc because may i gonna trade it for my iphone that i dont use it any more but lots of research and looking on Google didnt find any good review about this device soo i hope a little some of u guys could give some advice or ur own review about the device

Nope,GT9305 is even worse for gaming than GT9300. S3 is getting old and it's not smooth in gaming anymore. MC series were always laggy and stuttery,so if you want to be gamer of that game,then you will have some trouble. Other than that,S3 still handles games like Most Wanted,Asphalt 7 and 8 (medium) pretty well. MC5 has some constant FPS drops,maybe that will be fixed in future. But if you have some money,I recommend you to buy a better,newer device.
Hey jup i noticed that the graphics sucks but Unforgivable i dont have tje money to get a better device because i am young father of a son soo the extreemly nice game performance must wait for me

Nothing that a bit of... overclocking can do [emoji41]
Look, S3 is old, but, with the fact being old there is another fact, it can be tweaked good.
Install a custom rom by your choice and pair it up with a good kernel, play a bit with the clock speeds and governors and you will have a speedy phone.
FYI, MC5 on everything stock for me works on 15-20 fps, wich is good, but stuttery, but with OC beeing buffed it can top on 35 fps, wich is uncomparable to the stock, no freezes and works like a charm.
But, the drawback is, battery will run down preety fast so have a charger by your side.
Cheers
Oke thnx thats a bit more info then the first yea because the money is a problem in these times with kids in Euro zones soo gonna look for it for the rom when the phone arrive

I can also run Monster Hunter Unite 3rd(HD version for PS3) at full speed, incredible.
More ram daily is much appreciated. Fast Multitasking and no "lag" load in games.

ps can any admin close this topic :good:
Hai guys,
I want to buy Samsung GALAXY Note 3. Im coming from S3 (with Exynos processor). I want to know which version is better? Exynos or Snapdragon? Samsung sellers say that Exynos is much better than Snapdragon, but from all other medias, such as internet and youtube, say Snapdragon is better. So im confused.. Please tell me the truth. Hope you will help me...
Thanks

Buy the snapdragon one .
If u love custom roms and rooting stuff which I think you love ......
Otherwise you would be well off with either of them..

Performance is smooth. Apps load up quick... Ram usage about 1.7 GB out of 2.3 GB even in the heavy load scenario..... Even the mighty touchwiz can't slow it down ....
Personally I have the Exynos one and I am crying because it has no custom rom...:crying:
What i've read, does Snapdragon version have some fast charging that Exynos doesn't, so you'll charge your phone a lot faster? At least my Snapdragon device really charges very fast with stock charger. Also what i've seen, Exynos development is much slower than Snapdragon on Sammy's phones / tablets.
And again, what I have read from the web, Exynos devices have had problems that Snapdragon doesnt, just can't name any of them. Lol.
[OT] Same thing with Note Pro 12.2 (which is basically Note 3 but bigger in size, or is it?). Snapdragon owners have had no problems while Exynos owners have some kind of BSOD, heating problems, screen problems and lags while gaming. [/OT]
So I'll never buy an Exynos one, but thats just me

Thank you guys. From all of your reviews, I'm deciding to buy a Snapdragon one
Hi, I'm new in this forum. I need help. I bought a Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 (SM-P900). I know it has two quadcores (one of 1.9 GHz and another of 1.3 GHz) but I think it only use one of them, because it lags a lot when I run games and another apps like chrome. Also when I run benchmarks, they only recognize the 1.9 GHz one. I tested Asphalt 8 and it runs at 20 fps or less. Also it lags when I pass pages in S Note. There's a way to speed up and take advantage of both CPUs? Thanks!
S Note always seems to lag (I don't use it, but others report it.) The app isn't optimized for 12.2". Try Lecture Notes.
Benchmarks see only one CPU because that's their limitation. They couldn't detect the second one even of it was running laps around the first.
Cores don't stack. So even if you have 4 1.9Ghz cores, it doesn't become 7.6Ghz. This is why the amount of Ghz matters so much for gaming and heavy apps. The Exynos is designed for multitasking, not heavy processing(games). That's what Snapdragon is for.
Next is the Mali GPU. It's weaker than the Adreno and doesn't handle 2K very well. Particularly in heavy games. Oh it does Candy Crush just fine , but it's like Intel HD vs Nvidia in terms of the more serious work.
If gaming was a priority, you should've gone for the P905 with the Snapdragon 800 & Adreno GPU.
You can try to get rid of most of the bloatware, that should at least speed it up a bit. Also replace the launcher with Nova or Apex, they use less system resources. (60MB RAM vs 800MB.) You can also try a factory reset, see if that helps.
Maybe someone else with a p900 can tell us if they, too, have the same framerate issue. (I've got the P905.)
The Note 3 N9005 and N900 editions have the same hardware as the P905 and P900 respectively. The N900 with the same Exynos/Mali has the same issues with lag in Gaming as the P900 does.
S Note can't be helped, that's Samsung's fault, bad coding.

Root it and pick one of the stock based roms because they are the only ones with kernel development. I'm on CM 11 because I love aosp but I'm living with the built in kernel. That's the best you're going to get as far as I can see, but there are a lot of really smart folks around here.
Thanks for replying. Your answers helped me
Asphalt 8 has graphics settings where you can change the level of detail. Change the settings to low (which still looks good) and play is completely smooth.
Regarding optimizing general performance, I'd stick with Samsung stock roms as the gpu driver is better than cm based roms. Change the kernel and overclock the cpu and gpu to 2GHz and 667MHz respectively. Use the synapse app to undervolt the cpu and gpu at the highest frequency steps, necessary to avoid thermal limits which drops the clock speeds. With these settings I get 41000 on Antutu and 996/3000+ on Geekbench 3. Very smooth performance for my tablet.
hi guys new to the forum hope you can help..im about to buy the wifi version but because of the lag im tempted with the lte now..my question is a do a lot of art work .sketching etc and recently artrage was released for android..would you say the snapdragon would be better than the exynos version for brush lag etc .I cant seem to get a good answer to this question ..the note 12.2 is a great size and much lighter than a laptop and reat battery life..
sorry wrong forum
