The reason behind this is that the Snapdragon S600 apparently couldn&#8217;t handle the processor intensive tasks alone, so Samsung improvised. The Exynos version of the phone doesn&#8217;t have the extra processor. Overall, it&#8217;s not really a huge deal, as most users probably wouldn&#8217;t be able to tell the difference anyway. And, honestly, that&#8217;s a pretty smart move by Samsung to make both versions of the device perform roughly the same.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">The teardown also revealed that the US version uses different hardware for WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, etc., although I&#8217;m sure that had more to do with cost and availability than performance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">source: <a  href=\"http:\/\/redirectingat.com\/?id=3031X597718&#038;xs=1&#038;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.isuppli.com%2FTeardowns%2FNews%2FPages%2FKorean-and-American-Versions-of-Galaxy-S4-as-Different-as-Kimchee-and-Coleslaw%2C-IHS-Teardown-Reveals.aspx&#038;sref=rss\">iSupply<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">via: <a  href=\"http:\/\/redirectingat.com\/?id=3031X597718&#038;xs=1&#038;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computerworld.com%2Fs%2Farticle%2F9239065%2FGalaxy_S4_s_U.S._version_needs_added_image_processor_for_eye_tracking&#038;sref=rss\">ComputerWorld<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Come comment on this article: <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/161368-us-version-of-the-galaxy-s-4-uses-separate-image-processor-for-eye-tracking\/\">US version of the Galaxy S 4 uses separate image processor for eye tracking<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:right;\"><small>Visit <a  rel=\"dofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/\">TalkAndroid for Android news<\/a>, <a  rel=\"dofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/guides\/\">Android guides<\/a>, and much more!<\/small><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/AndroidNewsGoogleAndroidForums\/~4\/vpJl34L4ROg\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone knew Samsung was offering different variants of the Galaxy S 4 based on region, but according to an IHS iSupply teardown, that difference goes a little deeper than just the CPU.
