The problem with these kind of tests is that it doesn’t show the real performance of the device. The iPhone for example may be beaten by the S4 in pure raw speed but iOS is so light and smooth that it’s quicker and snappier than any android device on the market today.

Unless Google does something about their bloated os, which did improve with jelly bean however, iOS will remain the fastest and most stable option you can get.

The LG Optimus G Pro also looks very impressive from a performance standpoint. Wonder how it’ll stack up against the S4 when it’s released in the U.S. next quarter.

Correct, it is four A15 cores and four A7 cores. Not all cores are equal, of course, but it technically is an 8 core SOC, no?

Hi Kevin – the Exynos processor used in some SKUs of the Galaxy S 4 is not really 8-core. It’s a quad core A15 processor with 4 lower-power helper cores. The distinction is important.

Haven’t seen the videos but I did use the phone for about 20 minutes and really didn’t see much lag. Also: The software on the devices used at the launch event are not the final version and may not be optimized.

Bench marks that mean nothing. Have you watched the hands on videos and seen how laggy it still is. The guy had to hit an app 3 times because he thought he was missing it. Nope, just lag.
