Omg I cant find a real vs test between the octa and quad variant!!! I bought the Galaxy s4 octacore (i9500) and it was a mess the first months, the camara would reboot the phone, it stuttered no matter what and heat up like an iron. another bad thing is that a lot of apps were not optimized for it, still today ebay crashed when I try to share a link and the snapdragon doesn't.
now all this kept me from buying the Galaxy S5 octa and I went for the snapdragon but now im worried the octa will perform smoother, have a better audio amp, faster ram, faster updates, better battery life, no bloatware and on top support uhs-1 full speed micro sd cards :( :(
has some one had a vs speed test (real life) and micro sd tests?
Thanks

i dont care if the phone is heating or not . i care if the phone is heating the stability of cpu remains strong or not some times the phone turns slow in opening apps (s5) when uts degree becomes 40 of course u agree but stil fine s4 speed in oponing subwAy surf at 33 degree celcius is same as s5 oponing at 39 degree thats mean s5 is more powerfl than s4 but the prpblem is why s5 get heated quickly is samsung will fix this by updates ?

Some more advantages of Galaxy S5 Exynos 5422 Octa Core over Galaxy S5 Snapdragon 801
1. Galaxy S5 Exynos has 133 MHz higher ram speed than the Snapdragon variant(800 MHz vs 933 MHz).
2. Exynos powered Galaxy S5 is more power efficient, as during low work load it can only use its Little cores to save battery juice, Snapdragon variant does not have that option.
3. Another advantage of Exynos Variant is that Exynos Octa supports full UHS-I speed. That means it supports SD card (micro SDXC UHS-I Pro Class 10 cards) Read speed up to 70 MBps and Write speed up to 20 MBps.
4. Exynos 5422 has the capability to supports hardware-assisted visualization, Snapdragon 801 does not have this.
But if you need 4G LTE, you may forget everything discussed above and go for Galaxy S5 Snapdragon variant as Exynos variant does not come with LTE support.

I am using S5 (Indian version) more than one months and thought to share my experience with this Flagship….
The GOODS…
1. Best display till date… very good for reading books or almost anything
2. Battery life is cool almost 12-18 hrs with 3G data/wifi on, 10-20 min calls, 15-30 min gaming and 1-2 hrs songs playback power saver not enable, brightness set auto. Ultra power saver mode is great… and very useful for such phones.
3. Camera is good overall in low light also but no optical image stabilizer.
The BADS….
1. Heating… Every now then I can feel the heat in my pocket, even the phone is idle mode and still I can feel the heat in screen and the back cover. Even in ultra-power saving mode phone is overheating when taking. After playing a 5-10 min game also the heating issue is there.
2. The Gestures and Smart Pause is not working some time for video play back using the default video player.
3. Finger print sensor is not accurate… 60% success rate (100% in iPhone 5S).
4. Lots of Glitch in Apps menu and several apps like Facebook (automatically closing some time, may problem with the app but not sure), whatsapp and popular games like Temple Run, Subway Surfer, Asphalt 8 and many more (tried with may games).
5. When I am receiving a call by swiping Green circle, no visual feedback or animation is there (there are some animation in other Android phone of Samsung).
6. Few other issues which I am not able to write as I am unable to express that problems……
I have visited two service centre in my location and also consulted with Samsung online support but no solution provided… Service center technicians are trying to teach me how to use an Android phone… like not using much applications close the open apps if they are many…. Or there may be problems with third part apps or data I am using in my phone… even memory card…..
This is not a flagship product, having several bugs in UI, stabilization, heating and many more (heard form a trusted source)… I have wasted my money on this… don’t trust the ads.. read more hands on reviews before you buy any such flagship device…
Other options: Sony Xperia Z1 or Z2, HTC one M8 and or you can wait for Nexus 6 even iPhone 6 (with enhanced iOS 8 feature)... best of luck.
