The Samsung Galaxy S4 won't get an 8-core processor in the UK, with Brits resigned to a quad-core chip instead, Samsung has confirmed.
When Samsung lifted the lid on its new smart phone, it explained that the kind of processor lurking inside the phone would vary by country, with some nations getting a version with Samsung's own-brand 1.6GHz Exynos5 octa-core chip, and others getting a 1.9GHz Qualcomm quad-core chip.
A UK-centric press release from Samsung previous made mention of the octa-core chip, but sadly it seems that's not the case. In a statement sent to Omio Samsung confirmed the bad news -- I've since spoken to Samsung and received the same statement.
"In the UK," Samsung states, "the Galaxy S4 will be available as a 4G device with a 1.9GHz Quad Core Processor."
Cores for concern?
So what exactly are we missing out on? As my colleague Andrew Hoyle explains in this handy-dandy article, while the Exynos5 octa-core chip has eight cores, you wouldn't be using all of them at once -- instead there are two four-core chips that handle processing.
There are no apps or services out there so far that have really taxed the S3's quad-core processor to its limits, so I suspect the quad-core chip the UK gets stuck with will still prove very speedy.
It is galling not to get the exotic-sounding eight-core chip though, and it'll be very interesting to see which processor is better at handling battery life.
Are you gutted to be cut down to four cores? Let me know in the comments, or on our Facebook wall.

Oh well, was looking forward to having the SG4 and it lasting more than a day with the power saving core. Nexus 5 please with its over powered predicted specs!
anonymous 20 March, 2013 14:27
this is sh*t. why the hell would they do this. I was looking forward to seeing this 8 core beast humming along in people pockets.
Why the discrimination? This is bullsh*t!
anonymous 20 March, 2013 14:30
Nice to see what Samdung thinks of it's UK customers. Let me guess 6 months in and the Octo Core chip is now available in the UK...looks like other manufactures will be loving this news! Have to admit I'm kind of pleased to see smug Galaxy fans looking a bit miffed for once.
anonymous 20 March, 2013 14:34
The 1.9Ghz Quad core will likely run better for most tasks anyway - if the octa can only use 4-cores at once with a maximum clock of 1.6GHz then the Quad is probably better (my opinion anyway). I'm just glad that Samsung saw sense regarding the RAM - all models have 2GB instead of the UK having 1GB as on the original model S3
anonymous 20 March, 2013 14:36
I have been holding on for months for the SGS4 to come out. Was tempted by the GN4, SXZ or HTC1 but wanted the SGS4 with octo-core for future proofing.
Since Samsung have now said they will only release it in quad core over here, there is no point waiting, might as well get one of the others much cheaper, nicer materials and the same number of cores / amount of future proofing.
anonymous 20 March, 2013 14:36
hmmmmmm
Will this variant still be using the same GPU: PowerVR SGX 544MP3?
anonymous 20 March, 2013 14:44
Apart from the potential battery life increase you might get running on the less powerful 4 cores, I would say the better performance will come from the 4 core running at 1.9GHz (vs the 'better performance 1.6GHz quad). I am guessing that Samsung believe that UK need the better performance to support 4G etc.... so maybe Samsung will be selling the 8 code (4 slow + 4 fast processors) in countries where 4G has still to start off.... will be interesting to see exactly where they will sell the 8 core models...
anonymous 20 March, 2013 14:47
The one function I am waiting to have confirmed is if S4 supports rSAP (remote SIM access profile) - Apart from the other function on the S3 - this was a main requirement for me so that the phone works fully integrated in my car.... This also means that the HTC one, Nokia were oout of the running form day one.... I hope S4 has retained rSAP
anonymous 20 March, 2013 15:00
this is the same as what happenned with the s3 but when that was released we only had 3g so we got the quad core. basically the 4g versions get fewer cores/ i'm quite sure we'll be able to get the octo-core phone in the uk, it just wont support 4g. personally i dont care about 4g. if we just had reliable 3g i would be more than happy. currently i dont even think we have reliable 2g, but then i dont live in a city.
anonymous 20 March, 2013 15:12
The main problem is the "why"...
If Samsung said something like 'oh, to ship the same octocore chip to UK manufacturing would add 5% on the price so we decided against it"... That'd be fair enough
Maybe there's a battery issue as you say, and they're taking the risky move of market testing a better battery with a smaller core in a smaller market such as the UK... Smart move. Fair play.
Or maybe they're keeping Britain in the dark, deliberately. With plans to release some galaxy S4+1 next year WITH the octocore processor and some other shiny gizmos... Hmm...
Any real or credible word from Samsung yet on the topic of 'why'?
anonymous 20 March, 2013 15:14
Is this because of the 4G network? I had heard rumours that was why the USA had the quad-core chip as well, as apparently the quad-core network had 4G integrated, not sure of the accuracy of this though.
leoevs44 20 March, 2013 15:42
Do people realise that the OctaCore will only run 4 Cores at once, you'll have 4 high powered for gaming and multitasking etc and 4 low powered for small everyday tasks. The 1.9GHz Quadcore will be far more powerfull than the 1.6GHz Octacore, for me i would prefere the Quad but i going to wait for the next Nexus and i cant wait.....
anonymous 20 March, 2013 16:16
Does this mean it will be cheaper by just a little? Dont think the 4x4 8 core is future proof as its still just quad at any given point and nothing even really runs quad yet. The s2 is still good enough!!!! By the time everything needs quad to run we will all have 16 core phones!!!!just think its a bit pointless at the moment
. Also reason why we buy samsung is because of removable battery so if your that worried about battery life you obviously use your phone alot and will not be worried to buy another one! !!
jd-starz-x 20 March, 2013 16:18

anonymous 20 March, 2013 16:21
I too will now wait for the Nexus 5
anonymous 20 March, 2013 16:54
personally i will now not buy this on release day and instead will wait for comparisons between the 2 devices to see how much more or less power hungry they are, even the quad core 1.9ghz version is still WAY more powerful then the s3 and will still be the most powerful device out, so i will hold judgement till comparisons are complete
Damien2501 20 March, 2013 16:58
Octo-core is just a marketing ploy, it just sounds soo cool, most people won't notice the difference, because there aren't any apps & features that require Octo-core. The UK is gonna get the 4G Galaxy S4 - 4G is real & useful, Octo-core ain't.
anonymous 20 March, 2013 17:19
Got to laugh at the ignorant comments from people who haven't got a clue.
The 1.6GHz high performance quad-core CPU cluster in the Octo-core is the ARM Cortex A15.
The 1.9GHz quad-core CPU cluster in the Qualcomm chip is based on the ARM Cortex A9 architecture.
Fundamentally the A15 is about double the performance of the A9 if they are at the same frequency. So to match the performance of the 1.6GHz quad-core processor in the Octacore, you would actually need to run the Qualcomm chip at 3.2GHz.
KashAli 20 March, 2013 17:28
So UK is getting the slower version? anyone!

So which Country will have the 8 core version? Could I buy from that Country and use it over here? If that is possible, Il just buy from abroad and use the 8 core version here.
anonymous 20 March, 2013 19:30
Qualcomm processor! Woo hoo! Exynos chips are horrible to work with; custom ROM devs hate them and the Cyanogenmod team has already expressed doubts about a CM port for the S4 due the the lack of open sourcing for the Exynos chipset.
Hopefully this will mean better ROMs for us UK folk...
And most people are right; if you can notice a difference between the octa-core and the 1.9 quad core, it'll only be through benchmarking. If you want to play MC4, go get a tablet.
Meleagru 20 March, 2013 19:39
It's definitely about 4G. It's the same reason why Sweden, Canada and the US are getting the same deal. It will have an Adreno 330 GPU. It should be good news to modders because it will mean it's easier to code for it.
It won't make the phone any slower and it will still have awesome battery life. There is no reason to be disappointed. It might also mean that it will function on all 4G bands, unlike the iPhone.
anonymous 20 March, 2013 19:48
I suppose real world performance won't really be discernible but the whole point of the Galaxy S4 is that it is a new flagship with groundbreaking tech.
A Snapdragon 600 which is widely available in other phones is not groundbreaking. Poor show Samdung, poor show.
anonymous 20 March, 2013 20:09
It's a typical Samscum marketing scam because they know they will get away with it!
Launch the phone with huge fanfare about 8 core specification, only to ship a reduced product in several months time to the largest territories.
Most people that walk into shops in several months time will remember the hype but not notice that they are getting a lesser product, however Samscum will still be enjoying the higher margins they are now getting for their premium Galaxy range of products/
jd-starz-x 20 March, 2013 20:16
i HAVE a clue - i know its 4and 4 cores and not 8 cores all at once but i am so god dam annoyed with Samsung - i have seen the benchmark results between the two chips and the octo core is alot faster
so if people are like me and just sold their s3 phones to get enough cash to get the s4 on sim free then we have a massive right to feel short changed by samsung - it looks as though for the first time in years i will have to buy a htc phone , the htc one
i will never forgive samsung for selling us down the river - they have made an enemy out of me (i was a total fan of the galaxy s phones)
anonymous 20 March, 2013 20:16
Since Samsung are hyping spec but plan to ship the majority of handsets with reduced cores and the fact that they lazily kept the same plastic build, whilst other Android manufacturers are raising their game using quality materials like the Aluminium HTC One, I think Android buyers should put their money where their mouths are and vote with their pockets. Skipping the Galaxy range in 2013 and perhaps rewarding HTC with some income for their excellent design will send a message to Samsung to not take their customers for granted and perhaps they will do better for the 2014 product range!
Meleagru 20 March, 2013 20:26
People are getting very emotional about tech. The S4 still has better raw specs than the HTC One. And by the looks of things it will launch before HTC does. I'm not trying to put HTC down, they made a great looking phone but from an objective point of the view the S4 is better. In any case, neither phone won't disappoint you because in all likelihood you won't even come close to pushing the device to its limits. Phones are getting ridiculously powerful, much more than the average consumer actually needs them to be.
anonymous 20 March, 2013 22:02
I will have to stick with my Nexus 4 then.
It's great anyway.
anonymous 20 March, 2013 22:04
Samsung's going down a dangerous path. They're getting ahead of themselves due to strong sales. As if the S4 wasn't similar enough to the S3 they now have the same amount of cores.. Releasing a near identical phone each year; sound familiar: *Cough*Apple*Cough
anonymous 20 March, 2013 22:28
tbh I think quad core is better a it is 1.9ghz and all 4 cores are used at once.
JohnsonDion1 20 March, 2013 22:46
I was honestly thinking of switching from iPhone to the successful Samsung S line with the 8 core chip, but I won't quite simple, Samsung sure buggered this up!
Damien2501 21 March, 2013 00:39
The 4 core Galaxy S4 is still significantly more powerful than its predecessor & rivals:

anonymous 21 March, 2013 06:48
Whether the snapdragon is fast enough or tuned up to be better that the competition is not the point.
The point is that without the octo-core chip the s4 loses it's appeal as something new and innovative.
anonymous 21 March, 2013 07:55
Samsung have really pissed me off, they better give a dam good explanation. I just dont understand why you would do this? At the very least they should ship both models and let the constumer decide what they want.... if we get some leaks about the nexus 5 and it has better specs than the s4 google can take my money. RIP samsung... actually dont you really f*cked up
techymoon 21 March, 2013 09:31
it's all about future proofing, with 8 core it was. It may be the fastest for now but 5 minutes down the line it'll be just another phone with some good specs. I was disappointed at the review and said I would be waiting for the Nexus 5, nothings changed and by the sound of it, I read somewhere that a little known American phone provider called Blu is bringing out a similar model at half the price.

anonymous 21 March, 2013 10:49
Guys I don't think it's even the case whether 8 core phone is faster than a quad core. Ipad 4 runs on dual core cpu and will probably still match galaxy s4 in many aspects when it comes to sheer power. Not mentioning things like memory bandwidth available or software optimization WHY IS NO ONE BOTHERED ABOUT THE GPUs these devices are running?!
Adreno 320 vs Powervr sgx 544mp3 should be what this article is all about.
Quad core from Qualcomm or quad core (which it is, really) from Samsung both a15 doesn not make much of a difference.
anonymous 21 March, 2013 11:13
S4 will have precisely the same cpu and gpu as LG Optimus g pro and HTC One, just overclocked to 1.9Ghz (the other two are 1.7)
Is that good or bad?
anonymous 21 March, 2013 12:07
The UK is gonna get the 4G Galaxy S4 - 4G is real & useful, Octo-core ain't.
Since when is 4G any use in the UK ? Have you tried to use it my EE coverage is terrible I often resort back to a 3g mifi dongle to get a connection.

This is a non story. I have a single core tablet which is perfectly usable. I have a dual core phone that's still very quick even on demanding games. I'm so bored with the specs thing. We now have HD displays on phones, stupid for a piddly little screen. Perhaps manufacturers will now concentrate on devolping the harder and more useful stuff like cameras and better batteries.
Damien2501 21 March, 2013 14:29
@anonymous 21 March, 2013 12:07
That’s really to do with the band EE currently operates on. They currently operate on 1800Mhz which isn’t that good for data – it will improve in time once they begin operations on other bands & other networks launch. Read this article on TechRadar (a real tech site) it explains it well:
http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/what-the-4g-auction-means-for-you-which-networks-won-and-lost-1132571
Last year some countries had a dual-core version of the Galaxy S3 (and HTC One X & other phones) because 4G for some reason didn’t work on quad-core phones (or it probably cost more, there are probably lots of reasons) while other countries had 4G- quad-core versions of the Galaxy S3. Samsung wouldn’t be bringing the octo-core version to the UK & other countries without a good reason – after all octo-core is a good marketing ploy; I suspect it has something to do with 4G.

Future proofing mobile phones! One of the funniest things I've ever heard. The people kicking up a fuss about this are the ones that will shift the phone on within a year for the next shiny new thing. Be real about this, it's about being able to shown off your eight core phone S3 is future proofed. Its still one of if not the best phone going, will get at least Android 5 from Samsung and will be supported by the modding community.
This is one of the funniest/saddest message boards I've seen. People without a clue moaning because four cores doesn't sound as cool as eight.

Services like Google are more fully available here than in the rest of Europe, hardware is often more available here than the rest of Europe. We got the 4 core sgs3 before the US as I remember it. Enough people have explained what is going on and why but people are too worried that they can't show off an 8 core phone to their friends. More worried about image than performance.

The Snapdragon Quad has already smashed all previous records for benchmarking tests (Octa hasnt been tested yet) + The Snapdragon supports 4G. The Snap is less gimmicky and more future proofed. As far a battery life, I have a couple of spares in my wallet for my S2... I will do the same for S4, it really is no big deal with replaceable batteries.

If you only ever consider one brand don't start complaining when they take you for granted.

Any updates on the spec?

EVERYONE READ THIS ******************
listen everyone, after reading all of your comments i just want to clear some things for the people that don't fully understand.
The octa core is divided into 4 faster cores for gaming,etc and the other 4 cores are slower for doing the everyday thing e.g send emails, take pictures, etc.
the octa core is only allowed to use 4 cores AT ONCE, NOT 8 CORES.
the uk version is a quad core 1.9MHz. not only we have higher MHz but also we have 4G unlike other countries.
the octa core which only uses 4 cores at once is only 1.6MHz.
and its not integrated with 4G.
The uk version might not have 8 cores but still fast.
hope this helped to understand the 8 cores.
anonymous 12 April, 2013 17:43
@ anonymous 9 April, 2013 03:32
LOL, seems like you better start to read. higher GHz means nothing. The quad core running at 1.6 GHz is much faster than the Qualcomm at 1.9 GHz.
Not to mention, the GPU in the octacore is also much faster than Qualcomm one. Seeing LTE is not really available in the UK, I know which I want, and that is not the quad.
anonymous 17 April, 2013 11:07
So let me have a go at clearing things up. The octa-core is implemented as two CPUs, each a cluster of 4 cores. One cluster is ARM Cortex-A15 (2+Ghz) and the other is ARM Cortex-A7 (500Mhz) cores. This architecture is referred to as big.LITTLE. The only operating system that can currently make use of this architecture is Linaro's In Kernel Switcher (IKS) a Linux Open Source port. The IKS is implemented as a temporary solution for big.LITTLE until Linaro have completed development of a Heterogeneous Multi Processing (HMP) solution. The difference between IKS and HMP is that IKS fits into the existing Linux Symmetric Multi Processing (SMP) architecture. This allowed developers to provide a quick solution for big.LITTLE. However, IKS ties one big and one LITTLE core in each cluster together to simulate a single virtual processor for the Linux SMP engine. In each virtual processor only ONE of the cores can be active at any one time. This means that Linux only sees 4 cores. Either the big (A15) or LITTLE (A7) in each virtual CPU is operating but not both. So it cannot use all 8 as it cannot see them in this configuration.
In the HMP configuration, which is still in development, all 8 cores can be utilized using a different Linux scheduling algorithm that is not dependent on symmetry. In this configuration, we get the "apparent" real benefit of an 8 core big.LITTLE engine. I say apparent, because, for sure we will witness greatly increased capabilities for increased performance but at the cost of power. In effect, the A15 is a super-fast execution core but it chews up about 4 times the power of an A7. So the more we use the A15, the more power is used and the result is shorter battery life. But the A15 is not meant to be used constantly. In fact, it is designed only to be used for short bursts of fast execution where the operating system must service an application that requires it - such as a game. But don't be fooled by this either as games are almost always GPU bound and not CPU bound. So, it can be seen that the A15 won't be used much. In fact there is good argument to increase the cores in the GPU rather than the CPU for true increased game performance.
Then there is the applications that would use all 4 or in fact all 8 cores. To use more than one core, an application must implicitly make use of the extra cores by being instrumented (designed) to execute in a multi-threaded environment. There are very few apps that do this. So to have four A15s available is wasteful. In any case, there will be few, if any, applications that make use of all 8 cores. And if they come into existence, be certain that while they will exhibit amazing performance but will most likely drain the battery very quickly and that mobile phone will get very hot to handle.
My hypothesis for why Samsung will not 'yet' release the S4 with all 8 cores active is that in the Western world, they cannot tout their device as an 8 core product because it cannot currently use them. Apart from this being a problem with organisations such as Advertising Standards, Weight and Measures and so on in the UK, if they released an 8 core product here right now we would all be ripped off. Until HMP is available, it's a 4 core product. Period.
On the other hand, the Snapdragon S6 clocked at 1.9Ghz is a formidable 4 core processor together with an Adreno 330 GPU it is not to be sniffed at. IMHO, big.LITTLE, which incidentally was originally designed for servers is simply not ready yet for mobile phones both in software and current battery technology. If I had a choice, I would take the Snapdragon over the octa-core. Since that is all I will be able to buy here in the UK, I am a happy bunny.
