Is the Exynos Processor faster than the Snapdragon 600 one?

Pretty much confirms one version will have LTE, although the I9500 is the version that's in question. Also looks like we may have solid launch window if the S4 is going to have a global launch.

So the snapdragon 600 version of the S4 will not get the same battery life as the octa core S4?

That's the main issue imho. As far as processing power goes the real world proformence will be fine. I just thought thy whole idea of the octa core was to get much more Battery life out of the device. I really want to see what kind of battery life the S600 version gets compared to the octa. Because if it doesn't get as much battery life that would really suck for anyone that's going to buy the S4. I think the smart thing to do is wait for the Note 3 because that will have octa for sure. Like the Note 2, it uses the same Cpu in all regions and that makes updates allot easier.
