What ??

As far as i know, EU is not getting the octo core.

Yes, the reason is that exynos is not compatible with LTE, theres a whole discussion about it in another thread
But I believe you would still be able to acquire it, just no LTE on any carriers network

Korean Note to be released on 11-29

To All who are interested (TMO ppl) The South Korean Note is scheduled to be released on 11-29-11. This will be a variant of the Euro version and is scheduled to have penta-band capability (1700/2100) It also is a LTE version capable of 42 mb d/l (theoretically) You can read more here:

This will be the version that is supposed to be compatible with T-Mobile USA.
No exynos though.

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.

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

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.

"The Galaxy S4 in India will be carried by Airtel and Vodafone with full data supportive packages but for now it will only be offered with 3G data plans because of the lack of 4G LTE support across the whole country. However a Galaxy S4 variant with TDD/FDD LTE Dual Mode will follow later in the year. You may already know that the Galaxy S4 will be powered by either a 1.6GHz Exynos Octa core processor or 1.9GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad-core processor and we now also know that the processor in the Galaxy S4 for India will be the Exynos Octa-core variety."

As you know 3G is not affordable in india, 3G speed is not stable. Data Plans cost have increased.
For india Samsung will release Exynos Octa-core version. The launch date would be May 10th 2013, Launch would Price Rs.45900 as per igyaan

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
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda premium
9500 is the exynos 8 core without LTE
9502 is the dual sim version
9505 is the snapdragon SD6000 quad core with LTE

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.
Sent from my GT-I9505
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

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.

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

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.

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).
