Hello!
The situation:
I have a ZTE V875. This model is sold by VIVO operator only here in Brazil. In Portugal, the same (i guess they are the same) model is sold by TMN, but the name is Smart A7. The difference between they is CPU and RAM: V875 has 600MHz and 160Mb RAM, and A7 have 800MHz and 512Mb RAM.
So, the question: HOW I can compare the hardware specs of A7 / V875, to verify if V875 have or not a RAM lock like the Blades??
Thanks!!
There are two variants of Samsung Galaxy S4 - one with Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad core processor and the other with octa-core Exynos 5 processor.
The octa core based Samsung Galaxy S4 will be launched in India. However, Samsung will not launch the quad core variant of the Galaxy S4 in the country, according to a report of the Sam Mobile.
The eight core processor variant is known as the Galaxy S4 I9500 while the other is called Galaxy S4 I9505. There are no other major difference in the two variants though.
Galaxy S4 I9500 is based on an eight-core Samsung Exynos 5 Octa 5410 mobile processor, clocked at 1.6 GHz. The other variant has a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon mobile processor clocked at 1.9 GHz. Both the versions come with 2 GB RAM and offer three on-board storage options -16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB. Read more:

I just noticed that the About->Chip SOC version is displayed as 8260A. I thought this phone is supposed to have the 8960 SOC? It's an Indian Lumia 820 btw.
Hello. I have just read an article on Cnet stating:
Samsung told*CNET Australia:
""Samsung Australia is today confirming that the Samsung Galaxy S4 will be available in Australia with the quad-core 1.9 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon Series 600 processor and 4G LTE compatibility.
Globally, the majority of GS4 LTE versions will come with Qualcomm's Snapdragon, while 3G versions will be equipped with Samsung Exynos.""
That would seem to suggest that the Exynos' power requirements when combined with a long-term evolution (LTE) modem are too much of a pressure on the battery.

Ok, Samsung website doesn't seem to help and their reps definitely don't help!
The new note 10.1 comes with the 8 core 1.9ghz processor. Or so they would like you to think!!!
One site says "Under the hood, the international version of the Note 10.1, the version I reviewed, packs in Samsung's eight-core 1.9GHz Exynos 5 Octa processor and a Mali-T628 GPU. In the US, you'll get Samsung's 1.3GHz quad-core Exynos 5420 processor instead."
Another site says "1.9GHz Samsung Exynos 5420 Quad-Core Processor; Wi-Fi connected only" for the US version.
So, if you get the Note 10.1 in the good old USA, you only get the 1.3ghz quad core cpu. That's a slower chip than the Note 8.
If you get it global, you get the 1.9ghz cpu octa-core (which is actually a quad core), or with the 2.3ghz quad for the LTE.
The LTE runs on GSM, not CMDA, so it will only work with carriers that use GSM sim card. Do we have those in the US?
Samsung website says "Exynos® 1.9GHz Quad Processor + 1.3 GHz Quad Processor" Apparently they are both in there. I'm guessing they shut off the fast processor for us.
Has anyone bought the US new one and tested it? I'm guessing you can't just look at the settings and tell what's running under the hood. Can I get an international one and flash a US firmware into it and keep it running at 1.9ghz?
Had one in the "cart", but I'm going to hold off and see what's what.

I believe the exynos 5 octo is based on having four 1.9ghz a15 cores and four 1.3ghz a9 cores for easier tasks (for power efficiency's sake). Thats one of the possible processors on the note 2014; the other is snapdragon 800 quad core which is 2.3ghz if i remember correctly.
This is all from memory so it might not be perfectly accurate. Hope it helps

Interested in this post... I always wondered which is which as well.
Will the snapdragon version have 4 or 8? Does anyone know?

Snapdragon 800, which is currently the flagship, has 4 cores. Only Mediatek and Samsung have octocores in the mobile market and samsung's is not even a real octo.
