[Q] what to get? help please

hello
i have my note 2 with me and tonight or tomorrow ill buy the s4 ,
but i dont know witch model to get , a lil confuse
in my area got a 4g support but i dont care much about it so its not big deal with me if i get the lte support one or not
what i care about is the roms , kernels supports (Samsung base )
so will the i9500 will be good in terms of roms dev etc or the i9505 ?
as i said i care about roms dev and also performance
thank you for reading

Quad is almost lock in specific operators and octa is almost international
so quad is more depend on operators plan
and Octa depend on samsung plan
:good:

thanks but im not talking about the plan or locked
im talking about what to get in terms of roms devs and dev supports
both of them are unlocked here in my country

The Qualcomm (i9505) version is better if you're looking for ROMs, Kernels, Themes... But the Exynos(i9500) version is also very good.
PS: Both versions are good in term of performence & fluidity !

[Q] What to buy - I9500 or I9505 ?

I do not know what to buy, On the one hand Google spends official Android to I9505.
But then again maybe it's better to buy the I9500 ?
Google will release a Official Android for all I9505 devices? Or just devices purchased from Google?
Please Help!!! I do not know what to buy: (

see if u have 4g in ur country go with the i9505 it has 4g and better battery lifetime
but if u dont have 4g u cud go with the i9500
see the i9500 has an unoticeable better preformance (difference of tinybits)
but also has better gpu even if old
i bought tje i9505 because i think its better than i9500 but thats just my opinion dnt go using abusive language because i said that

As far as I know both devices have LTE
And I use the Hebrew language, but I have no problem with English I just need the Hebrew keyboard
I want to know if you will be able to install the I9505 (which Google bought) their official Android

Pros for 9505: many roms including aosp and better community support, GPU with OpenGL 3.0, LTE, same hardware as google edition
Cons for 9505: about 10% less CPU power
Pros for 9500: about 10% more CPU power
Cons for 9500: no AOSP at least for now, worse dev community support, older GPU, no LTE (LTE version of 9500 is only in Korea), flawed CPU
No one knows if You will be able to flash google rom directly, but most probably it will be at least easily portable to 9505. For me the choice is very easy.

You're buying S4 from korea?
Anyway, get i9505 as it has much more development support and has 4g.

So the Gpu is better on the I9505 even though it's weaker?
Which one will show better performance in the future on heavy games (I know that at the moment, no game is a challenge for any one of them...).

See the gpu in i9500 has higher mhz but it isnt noticeable as no games are that high but for the future the i9500 has no support for glse 3.0 unlike the i9505 which does so u choose
samsung made this a controversy so that both devices sell

so....I9505 ? Or I9500?

iPhone 5 definitely :good: :good:

[Q] Which to buy? 9505 or 9506?

It's almost time to retire my trusty S2. My choices for replacement are the 9505 or the 9506. The 9506 is newer, probably better technology, but there is more custom stuff ready for the 9505. So which way to go? Neither the s800 with a higher CPU nor the slightly higher LTE category (LTE is crap here in Greece) in the 9506 are not dealbreakers for me. I am more interested in stability, customization, and the upgrade path to lollipop.

I9505
Anyday.

I use a i9500 still I yearn for a i9505.
-Better dev support
-More Roms
-More Kernels
-More acceptability (on XDA as most of the devs have i9505, thus can help better)
-More guides and and a universally used board, so if you want to turn into a dev, you have more guides
-A method to flash custom roms without tripping KNOX!
I9506 is not known. Whatever maybe the reason, people with i9506 long for a custom rom.
And if one S4 variant gets and upgrade, all S4s will get an upgrade.
"If someone helps, never forget to hit thanks ? "

That more or less confirms what I thought. I guess there are more developer support and customizations for the 9505 because it came out before the 9506. Still, it'd be nice to have the newer CPU and GPU (as they tend to be more efficient) and I suspect there are some other minor improvements as well. I see there are unified ROMs that work on both models, though definitely more for the 9505. At least they are both using snapdragons, so they well-enough documented compared to exynos.

[Q] Looking for best ROM i9506

Hey guys I'm looking for best ROM for lollipop plus most stable what one gets updated more .
I upgraded from the i9505 to the i9506 but not as much devs which sucks.
Not a lot of choice ROMs mods kernels could anyone tell me why as it has better GPU better CPU so why lack of support?

Probably because it's a spin-off and I think was released some time later than the GT-I9505. Meaning that more people got the original models (I9500 and I9505).

HI,
Sorry, but no one will answer you what's the best ROM out there, as it is a highly personal opinion. You can give a read on the threads and see which suits better your needs.
For the other question, i9506 took some good time to get a worldwide release and developers were already busy with i9505 and i9500. Specially considering the fact that many countries didn't get the i9506 variant.
All the best,
~Lord

I would say S4. Theres a lot more developer support and its a good phone.

Look It's a matter of perspective really it comes down to what you are looking for... If you are into rooting, tweaking and using custom roms then s4 is the way to go but if you want something solid and genuinely faster than the s4 the A5 is your thing and to be honest the A5 seems to get a lot of attention lately . If you choose to go with the A5 be sure to buy the model which is right for you and has some development going. Cheers
