SamMobile - Today at SamMobile, we received the latest benchmark tests of the Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 (Exynos 5 Octa variant) with Samsung’s latest test firmware installed and the results are highly impressive.
ThatNaijaBlog - Samsung To Release New Versions Of Galaxy S4 & S4 Mini
UPI- Samsung's flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S4, has a security flaw that could let malicious software track emails and record data communications, experts say.
Vyralize: For the second time, it’s been revealed that Samsung has been rigging its benchmark scores. Given that they had done it once before with the Galaxy S4 smartphone, many tech reviewers were skeptical as to whether or not Samsung would do the same with the Galaxy Note 3, turns out they did.
Honestly i do not see anything wrong with this, a benchmark should be determining the maximum capabilities of the hardware, not the dumbed down "Desktop" clocks. If the CPU firmware is capable of dynamic clock adjustment for apps than that is what should be scored.
thats not rigging, the cpu can run like that in other intensive apps. rigging is changing the scores not the phone boosting its own speed
I like how this thread still ended up turning into an Apple bashing session even though it was strictly an Android topic.
So the US version is the weaker 1?
My guess is they'll bring the Exynos 5 to the US with the Note 3. Still, this is very disappointing =/
