I am looking at buying this but i am now once again confused which one, the cheaper one to get is the octa core , but 4G is becoming VERY hard to turn down now... So i think its going to be the quad.
I am from Australia the standard is the 4G Quad.
Whats your thoughts and howcome there is not a thread for both phones like last year
I would go for 4G.

Buy the one supported in your region.
4G would be the way to go.

4g one will have more dev support.
octa core one will have very very slightly fast gaming performance due to the gpu.

Actually the GPU I believe it's the weaker part when you compare Octa vs Snapdragon.
Not by a huge margin but Adreno performs better than Mali.
CPU performance is better in the Exynos.

the title says it all. I don't really know to much about processors and the likes and just want to know is the 7 more powerful then the 4
Nope. For both cpu and gpu. not even close.
Tegra 3 is pure marketing.

Still, nowadays price is a huge factor. So to the £159 you're getting a bargain. Tegra optimised games, although capable on other devices,are a plus to the N7 but as suggested, pure marketing. Like nVidias PhysX.

4 wins hands down.
Like the guy above said tegra is all marketing, its actually one of the most disappointing soc's of its generation.
The snapdragon s4 with adreno 320 are top notch.

Speechless after Reading Snapdragon 800 / 600,
Samsung probably won't implement this on their next Flagship; but wouldn't the Snapdragon 800/600 outperform the Exynos 5 processors? This is crazy, but mobile technology is making long strides. :laugh:
Maybe but no one will be able to touch the unique and innovative software and tw ux
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Well, CNET says the 800 would be coming to mobile devices (mobile phones as well) in Q2 of this year.
Im loving the News From The Guys Who Make Snapdragon Processors, they clocked some of the newer ones at 2,3 Ghz (Possibly NOT Overclocked ^__^)
Octa Core in Note 3 will do

No generally snapdragon is quite good for battery life management.
Does anyone know if their is a chance that Samsung might release a Exynos 5 Octa chipset in the U.S. later on rather than the Snapdragon 600.
I wish samsung would have waited until they were able to manufacture more Exynos 5 Octa chipset until they released the GS4 but instead they got it out as fast as they could so they can beat out htc one sales
99% that you wont get Exynos...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Depends on lte. So here in the US, lte is dominant so it will be the SD600 for us
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Wait until the international version comes to the market. It will be a little expensive but u can order it to US as well. But exynos will be quite futurisitc. Sam mobile get thier hands on the octa variant and the benchmarks are topping 27k in quadrant standards..
Htc one is at 19k, so i dont guess any flagship can compete the s4 atleast in 2013. So they actually saved it for a latter release so that their phone can top twice.

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.

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).
I am a fan of the aosp project and I am thinking of getting a S4. So what should I go for quadcore or octacore ?
It's a very personal choice! But still, If you have 4g in your country, then go for quad and if you don't then octa is not a bad choice either! Just a small heads up, quad is a more widely distributed market, so it will always have more development on it than the octa!
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
I'd happily swap my octa for quad.
Thats an easy one! Since you love AOSP the quad core Snapdragon variant is the best choice.
The octa core version doesnt have official Cyanogenmod support (yet). Exynos sources are a pain and Qualcomm delivers excellent dev support via CAF.

It doesn't, check the battery threads.
The only situation where the i9505 will last longer is if you're playing a very demanding game for hours.
When the A15 is running, battery doesn't last as long, but for most things, the A15 just runs for short periods of time, and the A7 is a lot more power efficient than the snapdragon.
In the end, you can get around 6-7 hours of screen time on a 24 hour period easily.
