arji, 22 Apr 2014But isnt GT-i9505 better than GT-i9500 with higher processor? Im going for the best perfomance... moreBoth phones have radically different processors. The exynos 5 octa is used in i9500. It's also called exynos 5410 or simply 5410. It has 4 1.2 GHz cortex a7 cores and 4 1.6 GHz cortex a15 cores making a total of 8 cores hence making it's name octa. The i9505 has 4 1.9 GHz krait 300 cores and hence it's the quad core version.
Now to these type of cores, cortex a15 are monsters in raw performance. But they are also most inefficient. Krait come in the middle with power and efficiency. The cortex a7 are incredibly weak but incredibly power efficient.
In exynos 5410, the 4 cortex a7 are used for normal tasks like music playback or calling to save battery and when you fire a game or do browsing, the cortex a15 come up. The 4 cortex a15 are around 5 times more powerful for comparison. Hence the exynos chip has great power with good enough efficiency or battery life.
The i9505 has qualcomm's asynchronous technology which helps it lower the clock speed to save battery when power is not needed.
Coming to comparison, I prefer geekbench 3 and quadrant as they only compare CPU power decently. The geekbench scores are i9500: 2470 and i9505: 1900.
quadrant: i9500: 17200 , i9505: 12300
So even the quad core 1.6 Ghz destroys 1.9 GHz krait.
The battery life depends on how you use it. If you use games a lot then cortex a15 will be active and i9500 will have less battery life. If you do casual activities, the cortex a7 will give i9500 a much battery life.
All other points i've mentioned in my previous comments. i9505 has slightly better battery life in general. it also has LTE (4G) and better developer support. i9500 has better audio, better camera, slow-mo HD recording and obviously better processor.
Choice is yours
Have a nice day

In galaxy s4 which android version is best 4.2.2 r 4.3?
But isnt GT-i9505 better than GT-i9500 with higher processor? Im going for the best perfomance phone. (Please reply SHUBHAM YADAV).
This phone has a great calendar and is great for keeping track of strap
sam, 22 Apr 2014Hi Shubham, just wanna ask you that is lg g2 better than s4,as i'm highly confused between the... moreIt depends how you use your phone. My father has a g2 and he wants to exchange with me. G2 has a better battery life and gpu( graphics processing unit). It's also a unibody if you want that type of thing.
S4 has its own advantages. It had a better screen. Really, amoled beats the lcd by a large margin. Also it comes with sd card slot. A 16 gb lg g2 us useless as it gives only 10 gb of space and it can't suffice. I have a 64 gb sd card on my s4 and all my data is easily transferable and I have a lot of space. Also, touchwiz looks and works much better than optimus ui.
Both devices are quite similar in all other features. Both have great cameras and software packages.
I would suggest you go through the comparison by gsmarena between g2 and s4.
One suggestion. If you buy g2, get 32 gb one. 16 gb only gives 10 gb and that's really very less. The 32 gb will give about 25 gb space and that may work. A 4-5 gb free memory is always needed to make phone fast. If you get storage below 1 gb, phone will lag like hell.
Have a nice day. Ask any more questions if you have.

One of the best mobile phone from Samsung. It's awesome and more user friendly experience then before. I like the features and design. Simply this series is no doubt the perfect.
Rajesh doot, 22 Apr 2014Please tell me anybody? Can it have hindi language and dual sim. I want to purchase it... moreno it doesn't support dual sim. yeah but you can have hindi language in it.
Please tell me anybody?
Can it have
1. hindi language and dual sim.
2. Pc connectivity.
I want to purchase it
Please guys.
Anonymous, 22 Apr 2014i mean more than one year...what is your issue....??It's not issue. It's just the device stands no chance against s4. xperia z has the worst screen of all 1080p androids due to washed out TFT and poor viewing angles. Also the processor is snapdragon s4 pro which stands no chance against even snapdragon 600 and the exynos 5 octa just blows it by 50-60 % more power. Plus the battery life is bad as people just get 2-3 hrs of on-screen time whereas i get 5-6 hrs on my s4. Lastly the camera software is not on par with s4 one and the image compression makes the images much worse than s4. An average image on s4 is about 4-5 MB in size. Just check on your xperia z. You'll get the idea how less detailed the pics are.
Lastly the support. My s4 was upgraded to kitkat more than a month ago and will be updated further if 4.5 comes up. Xperia z has no hopes of getting 4.4 even in a month. Forget about further updates.
Have a nice day

When we will see 4.4 for Iran version !!!!!!!!!!
till now we didn't get 4.3
stupid samsung ...............
arji, 21 Apr 2014please someone suggest me, should i buy S4 or HTC ONE?If in your country i9500 (octa variant) is available, just go for s4. If not, I think it's a tough call. If you care for designs, then go for htc one over i9505 (snapdragon variant) otherwise i9505 is better.
Simply speaking, if you care about design:
i9500 s4 > one > i9505 s4
if you care about functionality:
i9500 s4 > i9505 s4 > htc one
have a nice day
raman, 21 Apr 2014Which phone is better samsung galaxy s4 or xperia z .which one i should buyDon't buy xperia z at any cost. S4 is much better in every way. Better battery, much better screen, better camera, better ui and better support.
Just go for s4. You won't regret it.
AnonD-256531, 22 Apr 2014what is the difference and which is better i9500 or i9505The i9505 and i9500 have a lot of differences if you don't know:
CPU: I9500 HAS 25% advantage in cpu. You should check geekbench 3 scores. Mine one scores 2450. Which is dangerously close to snapdragon 800 and much higher than 1900 of i9505.
Camera: i9500 uses exmor RS sensor vs exmor R sensor in i9505. The difference is pretty much in night shots. That's the reason exynos s4 can capture night shots pretty well in night mouse but i9505 is useless at night by all reviews. Also detail levels and colours of i9500 are better.
Audio: exynos always come with wolfson DAC which is better than qualcomm DAC with better volume levels and sound quality.
Battery: qualcomm have it better but the difference is very less.
LTE and developer support: Qualcomm devices will always have it.
So your choice now.
