The article says 1.5 ghz dual core, Exynos doesn't make 1.5. Take a look at the Galaxy Skyrocket...

Provided by SK Telecom, wiki says they are CDMA based provider not GSM.

If some people think there is lag on the Note with the 1.4Ghz Exynos they'll really think it lags with the 1.5Ghz Snapdragon.

Which means it uses Qualcomm S3 which means will likely support T-Mobile band. Great.

I doubt it'll be a problem if you root and get rid of the bloats and after developers get rid of Carrier IQ.

Questions is who's selling their 1.4hz to get the new 1.5hz. I know Im really looking at getting this one as soon as it becomes available in the us. EBAY here i come...

Unless your in an LTE market that this Korean Note will work on and you have an Unlimited data plan there's no reason to get it. The 1.5Ghz Snapdragon is slower than the 1.4Ghz Exynos in the current non-LTE Note. It's slower than the 1.2Ghz Exynos in the SGS2 and people have commented on how the AT&T Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket which also uses the 1.5Ghz Snapdragon isn't as snappy as the SGS2.

Hold on you know what we should try first, the modem file. Lol

Cute Touche' Does anyone Know a Korean a website in English they have run into for ordering from the USA
As far as the snapdragon being slow, remember I have tried both chips and unless you are a gamer it is not that noticeable of an issue especially, when new roms start rolling out.

Has anybody found out what bands this new Galaxy Note from Korea will support I can't find anything.

I heard all bands, 1700 aswell.

Is Korea's Version of SGS3 Bigger than Int'l Version?

i saw a pic of 2 versions of the SGS3. the korean version is square looking, while the international one is rounded. is the korean version bigger than the international version?

I haven't seen photos of it but the Korean version is said to be the best of the S3's with quad core processing AND 2GB of RAM

is there any way of buying the korean version? and would it work on tmo's 4G?

It's only 0.4mm thicker. If both the areas I use my phone in weren't LTE I would've gone for the Korean version and turned off LTE.

You just can't. Why not try to run Windows Server 2012 on it while you are at it... The phone just does not have an LTE enabled radio. Good luck enabling anything short of soldering one (well there is more than that involved but whatever, you should be getting the idea)

Yes the Exynos 5 CAN support LTE but the i9500 does not.
Samsung were most likely referring to the "SHV-E300K/L/S", the South Korean version which is running the Exynos but also includes an LTE chip.

but the chip in i9500 is the same as Korean variant its just over clocked... there would definitely be some method to do it!
just wait for XDA GENIUS developers....
cause on xda anything can happen

LTE on the GT-i9500?

I am purchasing a Samsung Galaxy S-IV GT-i9500 and I was hoping that I could somehow get it to work with LTE on AT&T. Is this possible. Like by flashing a new modem or something?
Thanks in advance.

That's a shame, because you won't be getting 8-cores. You'll be getting two sets of 4 - there's a difference.
Just another sucker to the marketing machine.

4 + 4 = 8. I am very aware of how the technology works. I would still rather have the Exynos 5 Octacore processor.

Actually: CPU Quad-core 1.9 GHz Krait 300 (I9505) VS. Quad-core 1.6 GHz Cortex-A15 & quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 (I9500).
In tests it seems that I9505 was only some very small steps behind the 8 core... so I would think carefully. If you plan to change again the phone in next year or so, then yes, go for the 8 core. Otherwise, bear in mind that LTE will become more and more used... and cheaper

I'm the opposite but still I would have loved the Octa to go with the lte.
I still believe that Samsung will release an Octa with lte in a few months time.

Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy LTE speeds. But I almost always on WiFi. Probably 90-95 percent of the time I'm using my phone is on WiFi. So LTE is not a big deal to me. And like you said, if I plan on getting a new phone in a year then get the octacore. I get a new phone at least once a year sometimes more.

If your right and Samsung does release the us octacore version with LTE then I'll simply sell the one I'm getting and get the us variant.

Not a chance. There really isn't any reason that Samsung would do that. They have already manufactured and moved millions (tens of?) of the lte version. Why on earth would they create another? Octa is just going to appear in their future tablets

To add to your statement. I just read several articles that discussed how the snapdragon processor is designed for the LTE bands used by USA carriers. The Exynos processor requires a lot of work by Samsung to make it work on lte in the us. The note 3 may be the first samsung phone to have the octacore and LTE in the us. But I don't want a 6 inch screen in my front pocket. That would be almost like putting an ipad mini of your pocket. Almost.

One thing I am seeing a lot of is that the GT-i9500 has an overheating problem. Does the GT-i9505 have the same problem or not? I also see a lot more development on the GT-i9505 but I really only want to root to de-bloat and I don't really need custom Ron for that.

The i9505 will only get hot under intensive use such as gaming or the likes. I had no choice in choosing an i9500 or i9505, but I don't mind. The octacore is all nice when the technology works as Samsung advertised it, but it doesn't, and the i9505 doesn't lag at all for me. Plenty of development and debloated ROM's to keep you happy.

That's what people said about the S3 then the i9305 was released.
They do this around the time a new iPhone is released.

Again, that's what was said about the S3. That quad core + lte was too hard but then the S3 4g i9305 was released. Remember from release they had a quad core + lte in Korea so why people were saying it was too hard beats me. And now again the Korean model is both Octa and lte.
My money is on an Octa + lte around September.

I am using a I9505. What I can say is that, while it get warm/hot under certain circumstances (mostly games + charging in parallel), it is the 'coldest' phone I had until now. Compared, even the S3 is getting much hotter. So far, I did not find the temperature as a disturbing point (as with several other phones).
