Comparison I9500 and i9505 - Galaxy S 4 General

Hi,
For those who are interested in knowing precisely the difference between the i9500 and the i9505, GSM arena made a very complete review of the differences:
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s4_i9500_vs_i9505-review-930p3.php
As it turns out... not very different only a few performance differences and the i9505 has a slightly better battery performance, and primarily required due to lack of production capacity of the Octa chip...
Enjoy !

That's old news buddy.

What they miss to mention, and which is probably the most important point is that i9500 Octacore is unusable. I had it replaced 3 times and it still crashes on a regular basis. The 9505 is a completely different phone in comparison.

According to one review i read, the 9505 quad gets 18hrs talk-time and the 9500 octo gets 11hrs take-time, that is quite a difference.

Guys I have a question regarding the last line of OP. It said the snapdragon variant was required due to production shortage of S4 Exynos. My question does that mean with the increase in Exynos version production the snapdragon variants will be produced less?

Since you are in XDA, the point is not,which of the 2 versions are more famous but which has better support.And so far we know,that Samsung doesnt help developers to its processors.Also, the ge is for snapdragon edition!

SGS3 just released in 28 countries.

Just saw the breaking news on android spin. Although it's not yet released in the United States, it's good to see that Samsung is sticking to their promise of releasing the SGS3 world wide this summer. I'm thinking that the T- Mobile release date in June may actually be true.

S4 krait snapdragon is a15 which has 40% more per core performance than standard a9 in exynos. The gpu in the exynos is better. But the CPU is weaker. Performance will actually be the same now unlike last year Samsung galaxy s2 fiasco. All phones will have vsync on so you will be locked at 60 fps regardless of what processor you have. Development should be unpar with the exynos since the USA will have s4 and international exynos. A15 dual core has the performance slightly Better than quadcore a9. Regardless of benchmarks.

that's stupid. tmobile is changing their towers to include the 1900mhz spectrum, just buy the int'l version of the s3, problem solved. Cpu makes a big difference in how clear the screen is/photo quality. I had an Epic 4G Touch with Sprint (has the dual core Exynos) before coming to T-Mobile and it was a lot better than this phone in just about every way, the screen's colors were more vivid, there was less noise in photos, image quality was incredible, battery lasted longer, even images taken with the front facing camera were nicer, response times were faster. Cpu makes a big difference. Have fun with the iPhone, not that anyone cares about how Samsung disappointed you.

The difference was no one seems to get this Samsung actually optimized the software around exynos. The Samsung Galaxy S2 with qualcomm processor was ported software. Not as well optimized as the exynos. Samsung was in a rush to get the phone released in the states. Samsung knowing LTE is the big thing in the USA. Will optimize both phones equally now. Especially if the phones are being released so closely towards each other. Even the developers in the Samsung Galaxy s3 forum are saying that the 2 gig krait cpu is the better phone. A9 dual core to a9 quad core is not much of an improvement. Krait actually is and it keeps up with the best with less cores. Until true a15 cores come out.

"Galaxy S2 Plus" What a Joke!

"Galaxy S2 Plus" What a Joke!
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57...ls-galaxy-s2-plus-with-a-shot-of-android-4.1/
http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-unveils-galaxy-s2-plus-minor-spec-bump-over-original
JUST LIKE THE S2:
- The S2 Plus will offer a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor
- 1GB of RAM
- 4.3-inch WVGA Super AMOLED Plus display
- An 8-megapixel camera with an LED flash on the back
- 2-MP camera graces the front
Differences to the S2:
- Many of the plus versions will have NFC
- The Internal memory is 8GB unlike the original 16gb s2's
- Can Support a 64gb card (very likely due to running JB)
- Will come boxed with JB 4.1.2
Main upgrades:
- Plus variant will be running JB.4.1.2 out of the box
So basically Samsung are re-releasing our phone with stock installed JB and will probably retail for a very stupid price, this make me think we are actually going to get an official update well after this releases worldwide which could be a few months. hopefully our devs can port a plus ROM once it leaks. i reckon Samy just getting rid of old stock which was banned to sell in the USA after the APPLE lawsuit, but now the ban has been reversed.
In detail video comparison : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tEDhipUBYc
I'm sure the S2+ jellybean f/w has already been leaked. Does it use an exynos CPU?
If its not broken, don't fix it!

in all honesty i bet its just software related, i cant imagine Samsung changing the hardware for the camera, considering they would have to replace the cameras of thousands of already boxed brand new phones. but maybe they changed the camera its a possibility.

Yep, we'll have to wait till s2+is released worldwide and then the updates will begin to roll out. Add another month to that for each individual region. Ironically jb has already started rolling out for the galaxy s advance... I dont understand Samsung's crazy marketing strategy. With the amount of time they've taken for the update we should be getting 4.2...

If you think deeper you may realize this is not a bad thing. So they are realising "new" s2. since its "new" phone, it may mean that they plan to upgrade it to
further versions of android? If so, since its almost the same phone, that could man further versions of android for us also.

The truth is it'll be the opposite going forward. SGS2 and SGS2+ don't share same h/w components and their launch has a long gap.

And it's definitely the I9505 without question

25% diff in battery life is too big on a same model of phone. Maybe 5-10% difference favoring the Exynos I think.

I really presumed that we are going to get I9505 since most Asian countries are getting I9500, sadly that's not the case. Here is a very interesting read by AndreiLux: Exynos Octa and why you need to stop the drama about the 8 cores. I'm seriously reconsidering not to buy S4 right now, probably at least till reliable benchmarks and battery test are being populated to determine how much they differ. But well, there is however the LTE factor that may change my mind. Below is a post quoted from GT-I9500 vs GT-I9505...Differences are huge! by SlimJ87D.
SlimJ87D said:
But again, I've bought into the whole LTE thing because again LTE is now EVERYWHERE I travel to and live. So when I'm surfing the web or tethering for my work laptop, I'll see a much larger increase in internet speeds than I do with the speeds that are similar to my i9300.
I believe my i9300 got around 4.5 mbps at it's best while my GF's SGH-i747 got around 17 mbps, this is in OC, CA USA. This is a HUGE difference.

Thats what im thinking and thats just sad...seriously samsung couldn't make one model noooo they had to make 500 thousand models.....now not everyone can try the same things on their phones and it would be more "fragmented"..
You don't need the poll, it's a known fact Samsung have manufacturered more I9505 devices than I9500s, and that will be reflected on this forum.

I dont think it wil bother anyone.....and im trying to compare it here on the xda because the device that is more popular will probably be the one with more roms, mods, tweaks, etc,
Yes just look here in the forums. The i9505 is much more popular and has a lot more ROMs and mods.

Thats just GREAT lol does anyone know how hard it is to port a rom especially between these two devices since they are similar cant the rome be made for both at the same time?
I own the i9505. I guess this model is more common in usa and europe where you have support of 4g. In the rest of the world i9500 is much more in use
i9500 is bit faster in processing but i will go for i9505
I have i9505 and its super stable!!! and better gaming

Qualcomm devices (be them Samsung or otherwise) outnumber Exynos by a large margin. Game compatibility is inevitably better as a result.

Both phones have completely different chipsets and the sources from samsung for exynos are crap.
Does anyone know if the 0/ folder bug was fixed in the latest cwm v1.0.0 version?
..
Obviously the device with LTE wins no matter what chipset. Carriers seems to want it why shouldn't you? Like you have a choice
