Galaxy S4 Hardware Reviews

When S III has begun to weaken the hardware part of the phone, but the whole new generation S IV on Exynos 5 processor still shine in the release of this year's CES. Exynos 5410 processor using the ARM's big.LITTLE solutions manufacturing also sparked a war of words Qualcomm and Samsung, the former the said big.LITTLE is the defect becomes the highlight of the hype behavior, while the latter that big.LITTLE can balance between performance and provincial electric two aspects.

the emergence of the big.LITTLE technology in order to solve the problem of the A15 architecture processor power consumption is too high, the Samsung Exynos 5410 processor internal has two quad-core processor, an A15-based processor is responsible for running more complex calculations, another A7 the architecture of the processor is responsible for the peacetime general phone operating. As a result of the 28nm process, Samsung nominal the Exynos 5410 than the current quad-core processor power saving of 70%. While in fact the two kernel can not work at the same time, the so-called eight-core is a definition, in fact, the nature of Exynos 5410 is still a quad-core processor, clocked at 1.6GHz.


Is easy to see from the above software test scores Exynos 5410 performance compared to the Qualcomm APQ8064 nearly 30-40% higher. Let me surprise phone graphics processing power, S IV of using GPU PowerVR SGX 544 MP3, clocked at up to 533MHz, this the use of Adreno320 than APQ8064 Whether to be much higher in the triangle on the processing and graphics rendering , but in fact the test results are almost the same.
The face of competing products Exynos 5410 single run points compared to one for Xiao Long 600 does not advantage the latter Quadrant score than this GALAXY S IV to be much higher, but at the moment this S IV or engineering prototype, fever and restart phone appear more frequently, so do further tests need to wait for the retail version listed.
