S4 krait snapdragon is a15 which has 40% more per core performance than standard a9 in exynos. The gpu in the exynos is better. But the CPU is weaker. Performance will actually be the same now unlike last year Samsung galaxy s2 fiasco. All phones will have vsync on so you will be locked at 60 fps regardless of what processor you have. Development should be unpar with the exynos since the USA will have s4 and international exynos. A15 dual core has the performance slightly Better than quadcore a9. Regardless of benchmarks.

Unless Samsung uses the Exynos 5 dual core. That thing is a beast. I prefer that rather than a quad core Exynos 4.

Who said they won't use an Exynos 4 dual core or an Exynos 5 dual core. The late problems were only with the Tegra based processors. Exynos 5 is based off the Tegra but it is vastly different and barely even resembles it.

No way it can be based of tegra because nvidia is closed source almost everything. Tmobile will have a s4 krait and 2 gigs rams Samsung Canada has confirmed it so has tmonews. The 2 gigs ram and a15 processor. Make the phone a beast.

US carriers will get the quadcom s4 which is still duel core... if anyone buys a g3 I think their an idiot... I'm waiting for the iPhone 5 because Sammy has disappointed me.

that's stupid. tmobile is changing their towers to include the 1900mhz spectrum, just buy the int'l version of the s3, problem solved. Cpu makes a big difference in how clear the screen is/photo quality. I had an Epic 4G Touch with Sprint (has the dual core Exynos) before coming to T-Mobile and it was a lot better than this phone in just about every way, the screen's colors were more vivid, there was less noise in photos, image quality was incredible, battery lasted longer, even images taken with the front facing camera were nicer, response times were faster. Cpu makes a big difference. Have fun with the iPhone, not that anyone cares about how Samsung disappointed you.

because exynos cpus lack the LTE support that the qualcomm chipsets have.

Does T-Mobile plan to have LTE?

Eventually they will.

The difference was no one seems to get this Samsung actually optimized the software around exynos. The Samsung Galaxy S2 with qualcomm processor was ported software. Not as well optimized as the exynos. Samsung was in a rush to get the phone released in the states. Samsung knowing LTE is the big thing in the USA. Will optimize both phones equally now. Especially if the phones are being released so closely towards each other. Even the developers in the Samsung Galaxy s3 forum are saying that the 2 gig krait cpu is the better phone. A9 dual core to a9 quad core is not much of an improvement. Krait actually is and it keeps up with the best with less cores. Until true a15 cores come out.
