AnonD-227534, 08 Aug 2014Yeah. True because exynos is manufuctured by samsung so exynos has advantage over snapdragon..... moreExynos is faster than Snapdragon, undoubtedly, not by a noticeable margin, but still. That does NOT make it better. Bugatti Veyron would be a better car than F430 from that logic! Speed isn't everything, especially when it's about Android or any OS for that matter, optimization is EVERYTHING. It's proved that how terrible is TouchWiz! A phone which has great hardware like S5, I just can't believe how great it would run on pure Android, especially when L will be out with ART as default.
With Snapdragon version you will have the chance to eliminate any existing bugs (and from past three years experience with Samsung, other than the out of the box ROM, all ROM will have bugs, that's guaranteed) with a mod / custom kernel / even some great ROMs are there. With Exynos, no support, nothing, you're on your own. You have a bug? Deal with it or move to a different phone.
I don't think any sane person will pick an Exynos model over a Snapdragon one just for slightly better FPS in some damn game, at least the current scenario is like that.

          I liked it coz I really enjoy using it just like my lost galaxy s4. But my complain is..the battery easily drain, even I didn't use it for the whole day it drains already. Is it normal?

                            Anonymous, 08 Aug 2014Is there any difference between s5 audio/music quality and s4 audio/music quility.As I fond of... moreYou might know that Samsung releases 2 versions of their flagships with different audio chips or DACs (dedicated audio chip). One is snapdragon or LTE version with qualcomm DAC and other is exynos version with wolfson DAC. Now exynos version is always better due to better DAC used.

                            As far as i know. S5 exynos is the best and s4 snapdragon is worst compared between these 4.

                            S5 exynos is better than s4 exynos.
                            S5 exynos is better than s5 snapdragon
                            S4 exynos is better than s4 snapdragon.

                            Now between s4 exynos and s5 snapdragon I'm not quite sure. I belive saurav ghosh would know it as he used s5 snapdragon and s4 exynos both.

                            but all are good. If you're an audiophile, go for exynos.
