Africa and asia get an 8 core phone while britain must make due with quadcore. And according to benchmarks the international version blows our effort out of the water. Our S4 scored 23,607 in antutu benchmarks in comparison the octa core version scored 28,018. And yet samsung uk claim we are not loosing out! Just how do they work that out lol?! |

We are getting both Exynos Octa and Snapdragon here in South Africa. The initial batch is 32GB Octa, then in 6weeks we get 16GB Snapdragon with LTE. Im sure there will be a UK Octa core with LTE later in the year.

polo011 iam curious does this mean your present S4 octa is not LTE? but anyway I believe your right, I think another version will come to the uk and possibly the octa core version. I fell for it last year with the non LTE S3 i9300, never again! iam waiting this time. after all they do say things come to those who wait dont they?! although I do appreciate that being non LTE is not an issue everywhere in the world.

(sold my i9300 and got i9305 which was LTE)

Yep, mine doesn't have LTE, but it has HSDPA 42.2Mbps. I couldn't wait my GS3 broke and I had to use my GS2 while waiting for GS4 to finally arrive, couldn't be bothered with LTE as its coverage is still limited to certain areas down here. My mates I9305 GS3 LTE runs through its battery due to LTE being patchy, so I'll wait until next year before I get a LTE phone.

so does this mean all the octa core S4s are not 4G though?
|
||
@polo_011 | 29 April 13 | |
No, the Korean Octa Core version has 4G.
|
||
@banbury | 29 April 13 | |
oh right so the chipset does support 4G then
|
||
@polo_011 | 29 April 13 | |
Yep, the chipset supports all 20 LTE bands as Samsung confirmed, just a matter of which modem its paired with.
