Both Qualcomm (I9505) and Exynos (I9500) versions of Galaxy S4 will be available in Malaysia

Samsung announced the Galaxy S4 with two versions - Qualcomm (I9505) and Exynos (I9500) chipset version. The Qualcomm version of Galaxy S4 is 4G LTE-enabled model but the Exynos version is non-LTE model. Although the Exynos version does not support LTE connectivity, but it is powered by Exynos 5 Octa chipset which is 8-cores processor. However, the 4G LTE version will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor.



Both devices will be having 2GB of RAM, 2,600 mAh battery, 13MP camera, etc. There's a good news that Malaysia are the one of the lucky country to get both versions of Galaxy S4.

As the list above you can saw that Malaysia will be available both Qualcomm (I9505) and (I9500) versions. The price may not be different, what I expect is the Qualcomm version will be priced at RM 2,299 and the Exynos version will be RM 2,399.

Gratefully that Malaysia are one of the lucky country to get both versions. So, will you go for LTE version but with quad-core processor or non-LTE version with 8-cores processor? Leave a comment.

[Update: Samsung had just confirm that the Exynos 5 Octa processor confirm support LTE connectivity, but there's still no confirmation about whether Malaysia Exynos 5 Octa S4 will be support LTE connectivity.]
