Why does samsung screw the US market?

Agreed. The industry hasnt even fully embraced quadcore yet. All this octacore crap is the biggest marketing gimmick in history

Again, we'll have to wait and see what battery life is like. If it's anything like it should be in the theory of design, samsung will hit a home run with the rest of the world, while separating the bulk of the U.S. market into the 'dummy' category. ..could turn out to be a marketing mistake.

All that said, I agree with what others have been saying about qualcomms more mod friendly chips, still feel the average user won't care about that and they'll feel short changed if the difference in battery life is even marginal.

Last year with the galaxy S III the us version came with a dual core processor. International version had quad. We were told because the quad core doesn't work with LTE.

Then the Korean market gets the phone and guess what? LTE works and they also got the 2 gb ram. The ONLY version that should have been released.

Now the international version gets 8 CORES! Now we get 4.

Why didn't they give us the Octacore?

The main reason people won't care is because phone will be just as good with either one. Plus I saw an article that said developers don't like the Samsung processors. In the end I think it will be fine.
