Note 3 has a snapdragon 800 while the S4 has the Snapdragon 600.


a post from @Albe95 where he explains everything.

Yep I already saw that. How they port that? Simply thanks to Exynos they port full ROM of Note 3 exynos on their S4 exynos. It would be bad for Aosp ROM but Exynos is better for porting (look at Note 2 and S3: they port KitKat on S3 and 4.4.4 of s3 neo on Note 2 because Exynos of these 2 phone are very similar)

Now is that possible for our S4 Snapdragon? No. Why? There is too much difference between Snap600 and Snap800. It's possible to port on Snap800 variant of S4? With most of probably (99%) yes. In fact S5 ROM can completely ported to Note 3 for example (801 vs 800)
