The Exynos octacore is actually 2 quadcore processors :  four high-performance ARM Cortex-A15 cores running at 1.60GHz, four low-power ARM Cortex-A7 cores with 1.20 GHz clock-speed as well as PowerVR SGX 544 graphics adapter.
However, the Exynos 5410, though having eight cores but the phone will use only four at a time.

The technology used is called big.LITTLE and Samsung has taken a licence for it from ARM. In actual use, Galaxy S IV will use A7 cores while handling light work. For example, if you are making a call, the phone is likely to be powered by A7 cores. But if you are playing a demanding 3D game, it will switch off A7 cores and use A15 cores. At no point of time, the phone will use all eight cores simultaneously.

Samsung claims that this technology provides users best balance of performance as well as battery life. An important detail to note is that A15 cores are very powerful and even if only four of them are used in Exynos 5410, it is enough to make the device one of the most powerful smartphones in the market.

Reached there at 9am, register for S4. Sales girl say can take TalkMore 48 or TalkMore 78 with 1 GB or 3 GB.

Since my current Maxis package is iValue (with iPhone bundle), so I took the TalkMore 78.

When it was my turn to sign up for the phone, the other sales exec ask me whether I'm sure with this package. I said ok. Then she told me the total monthly commitment is RM148.

I was shocked and ask why so much. Then she told me that the TalkMore 78 doe not include Data package.

I'm so disappointed with Maxis and today's Star newspaper claim they are the best network communication for Putra Awards.

Best Network my ass. Consistent drop line, poor customer service and staff are rude.

This will be the last time, I use Maxis.

finally received my unit from digi today. temporarily using nilkin Super Shield Case for Galaxy S4 while waiting for Spigen Galaxy S4 Case Neo Hybrid

Im an s3 user, just reading this thread to see if worth the change to s4. Just wanted to post coz many are asking about maxis.
My mom is using maxis, they will throttle down after the data limit. BUT u must beware of the hidden charges, hard copy bill, call waiting, call barring, mms spam, and many others. They charge all this. After u register, go to ur online account and cancel all this.
Another thing, my mom once got sms spam, she disregard this, but every time she dont know y her bill always reach limit after 2 weeks. Its bcoz these sms charge 50sen,total was rm38 if im not mistaken.
Always check ur bill.
