Mainly the processor chipset, GPU and audio chip.

Some help before buying?

Hello, at the end of the month I'm playing in buying this phone, I've seen you can get the i9500, I9502, i9505 I'm not sureif there's any more, what's the difference? Cheers

9500 is the exynos 8 core without LTE
9502 is the dual sim version
9505 is the snapdragon SD6000 quad core with LTE

Lte is 4g right? So the i9500 doesn't have 4g? Is the i9505 the best without duel sim?

Yup. 9500 doesn't have 4G.
9500 is better than 9505 (if 4G is not a factor); Exynos 8 core, wolfson DAC and (some said) better camera sensor.
However, if 4G matters to you, go with the 9505. The difference is not a lot.

But the processor on the i9505 is 1.9 instead of 1.4? :S also does the i9500 have 2Gb of ram? I rang the guy at the shop and they said the phone had 4G capabilities? :S haha! Thanks for your help guys

1) Different architectures (Krait for the 9505, A15/A7 for the 9500), so the frequency isn't directly convertible to speed. The 9505 is clocked at 1.9GHz, and the 9500 is clocked at 1.6GHz (1.2GHz for the small A7 cores)
2) All Galaxy S4 models have 2GB of RAM.
3) Some telcos call HSPA+ "4G", despite it being more properly called "3.75G". BTW, LTE is also not officially 4G: that would be only for LTE Advanced, with downlink exceeding 1Gbps. If you want the "4G" people are getting excited about now, that would be LTE, supported only by the 9505 among international S4 models.
So the standard one is 1.6ghz? Really was looking forward to 4G, can't find the i9505 on contract though :/ unless anyone knows how to get them? So might end up buying an unlocked i9505

I would go for the I9505 personaly. Much more development and the Qualcomm 600 seems to have much less issues than the Exynos octa-core atm. Btw there are allready threads about I9500 vs. I9505
I would go with the i9505 if you LTE and better support by XDA developers (AOSP and AOKP based ROMS).
If you will basically use only Sammy based ROMs (like me) and don't care about LTE than go for the i9500.
If you don't want extremly fast internet (LTE) depending on location or AOSP/CM roms.. then get the I9500.. I think it may be a little cheaper as well last time I checked

?? What issues would those be? I only know about the headphone out defect on the i9505 which would be a deal killer for me. I've the i9500.

huh I got no headphone problems :\
I9505 :good:
Batter Battery Life
LTE
Some gs4 all versions can have smearing issue or other defects. Mine come without any of these. 9505 is more than enough for any customer with custom kernels oc/uv tweaks is superior to other flagships

Cheers guys will be going for the i9505 then! Was swaying that way before hand...

For me its easy choice: i9505 .
SGS4 Google edition will have Snapdragon 600 CPU, which means it will have same internals as i9505, so i9505 will get fully working stock Android and updates at similar time as Nexus devices.
i9500
No, you are wrong. Its the Snapdragon I9505 with the headphone issue.
And before someone replies with "I dont have the problem", read the threads. It affects lower impedance headphone only but it is a major issue for those with headphones like this.

I9500
- New chip technology
- 10% faster processor
- 3% better camera sensor
- better audio processing due to wolf DAC (difference is not noticable though in direct comparison)
I9505
- LTE Band
- Stable and well documented processor for development
- Rapid charge technology
- 2-3% cheaper (in my area)
This.
Charging time of i9500 from 5-100% is roughly 2 hours by the way.
I would say, they are both good. Its still the same galaxy s4 that everyone else holding a different device is so envious about.
I love these threads I have the sprint s4 and the i9500 both are great but arent faryaab and codeworkx working on a cm project for the i9500 faryaab also said he will bring siper nexus . Dev support hmm I think its even minus cm but im not a fan of constant issues until 7months down the line . Please show a thread to which cm,aokp etc didnt have issues the first several months or weeks . Besides that the 505 is and always will be samsungs second choice so to say being many intenals being newer in the 500 also samsung parts . Both are great its mostly opinion base but to me I wanted both first choice was the i9500 . Back to the dev support have anyone whos said the 505 has more look into who has the i9500 . Yes chainfire has the 505 but hes not gonna be kickin out roms . Also many devs are going the both route . So choose what suites you best .

Where to buy 9500 version online?

I'm looking to buy the exynos galaxy s4, where can I order it to get it shipped into Canada? Is there a 32g version or only 16?
Thanks.

Do not buy the Exynos 5410 one. It just doesn't work correctly at the moment and offers awpful battery life if you do a lot of intensive task. Wait for the Snapdragon 800 LTE Advanced one which will be available at the end of this month in South Korea only.

Why wouldn't you want to buy the phone "offline"? You can check the phone on-the-spot, to see if there's any defects or problems.

Because here where I live, you can only get 9505 in store. I need to import the 9500.

Snapdragon version definitely

Snapdragon pretty much always has better dev support here.
snapdragon but samsung always releases new firmware and sources first on their exynos devices before snapdragon. I would go for an exynos because it is easier for me to tweak with perseus kernel and has better memory management. gets hot but the processor and gpu are easier to manipulate. Snapdragon is cool though. byt then again, thats just me ranting about
