                why Samsung hesitates to release its Snapdragon version of S5 in India alone or am i mistaken?

                Half of the people working in the Store aren't sure if the phone is a octa core variant or Snap dragon variant :/

                          Samsung thinks Indians are fool.In Europe and American market this mobile sold with Qualcomm snapdragon 801 processor but in Indian market this mobile sold with cheap Exynor processor.

                            Still using since two months, it has neither heating issue, nor any problem respectively. Looks nice display (I preferred Adapt Display or Cinema Mode, depends on user choice) and good performance. Touchwiz is somehow okay with new user interface on GS5 but I am using home replacement launcher because I don’t like Touchwiz so far. Frequently clean the recent applications (press left button), memory clean up, catch clean for free of junk files (installs cleaner apps e.g. Clean Master) etc. Disable apps, if don’t use. It can be checked on the website for tips and tricks and getting more information of the device to handle with care.

                                Nix, 30 Jun 2014How can i buy snapdragon version in india?please reply.Guys you won't find much difference in performance as I had used SD version for couple of days(except Gaming experience is bit better in SD version & bit better battery management).

                                I don't feel its worth to buy a high end mobile without warranty, if anything goes wrong you will end up paying a hefty amount for servicing.

All the cores work at the same time so it is a major factor fo... moreYou might be right and its theoretically also true but what I told is as I found when using the CPU-Z app, in which i never found any of the core inactive even if you wait for a long time . Where as I found at least 2 cores in Snapdragon Version inactive almost all the time when I was testing it in Idle condition.
