Samsung's latest flagship, the Galaxy S 4 (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/24/samsung-galaxy-s-4-review/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget), comes in two distinct flavors -- and they're both good. One uses the much-hyped Exynos Octa-core (http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/09/samsung-announces-exynos-5-octa-chip-at-ces/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) chip, while its identical twin takes advantage of the quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600. In either case, the availability depends on where you live: the Exynos-powered I9500 is difficult to find in North America (at least for now), but our friends at Negri Electronics, an online retailer currently stocking the Octa-core device, gave us the opportunity to play with a unit for a few days. During our time with the device, we were able to get a solid feel for how this particular version of Samsung's flagship compares to the Snapdragon 600-powered model. So how does it hold up against its Qualcomm brother in terms of performance and battery life? Read on to find out.
