Inside the next Galaxy.
Samsung yesterday took the wraps off of its next world beating Android phone, and one unit in China's already been splayed open for the world to see. Like with the Galaxy S3, Samsung will likely offer different variants for different world markets, including different CPU choices -- such as in-house-designed Exynos 5410 octa-core vs. the just-revealed Qualcomm Snapdragon 600. The Chinese model featured in the teardown has the former SoC, and even has dual-SIM support.
What's impressive is that the S4 has a best-in-class 2600 mAh battery that is removable, which completely erases the argument that sealed batteries lead to larger capacities.

The Note 2 is also much larger and therefore has the space and the NEED for a much larger battery.

I meant the article itself:

US and Canada..... AGAIN FOR F'K SAKE...
Kind of obvious... The worlds shittiest networks getting the shaft again.
Hahaha! You really don't know about world, man.
And well, even if USA and Canada is quetting a Quad core S4, it will be plenty for any task. I know there are people that always want the best, but still I don't see how an average man can max out and make struggles the S3 not yet the S4.
Just stay chill...
The US Galaxy S3 comes with a dual core Snapdragon S4. The Krait core isn't a Cortex-A15.
That's cause of our telecom oligarchy. The quad-core will be plenty fast. Their Octacore is really just a quad core for performance, and a low-powered quad-core for menial tasks
What? It's because of LTE concerns. The Exynos doesn't have LTE on the die, the Snapdragon does. The Note 2 in the US has a seperate LTE modem that isn't on die, but it can do that because of the extra size and battery.
big.LITTLE can use all eight cores at once, but it's really two quad core CPUs on one die where the second quad core altogether is maybe as powerful as one of the cores in the better quad core CPU. However, IIRC, Samsung will only use the second, weaker and lower power quad core kinda like how Nvidia uses their fifth low power core in Tegra 3. It'll probably be something like that each core of the weaker CPU will be used as a very low power state of the more powerful CPU. Basically, yes, it's essentially a quad core, but it can be slightly more complicated than that.
That is such utter BS that even if I didn't already know from past experience that your an Apple fan or at least an Android hater, I'd be convinced that you are.
