Samsung Galaxy S 4 with Snapdragon 600 or Exynos 5 Octa: here is what market gets what version
The Samsung Galaxy S 4 might have not surprised us with a new design or much of a revolution elsewhere, but it is a solid evolution over last year’s Galaxy S flagship.
What you might still wonder, though, is which version of the device is coming to your country. We already know that in the United States and the United Kingdom, the Galaxy S 4 will come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 600 chip. Most of Europe will also get a Snapdragon 600 version of the S 4, but for Asia the device will ship mostly in its Exynos 5 Octa version.
Now, the Snapdragon 600 comes with the new Krait 300 processor clocked at 1.9GHz, while the Exynos 5 Octa has the clock set at 1.6GHz.
So with that in mind, take a look at the different model numbers and what they signify. There is no information about Latin America yet.
