    I have placed 3 orders with them and haven’t had an issue. One was for my current S2.

    I ordered my i9500 last Wednesday and it arrived on Monday. I can't complain about their delivery times.

      Is your i9500 made in Vietnam?

      What was the issue, warranty claim?

  The black version cost $20 more? That's same price as Kogan. TBH, I rather buy from Kogan instead.

  You want I9505, not I9500.

  9505 quad-core which supports 4G is more expensive than the 9500 octa-core

    But it just as fast, and has longer battery life.

        From the GSM Arena comparison

        http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s4_i9500_vs_i9505-rev…

        "It is evident from our tests however, that the Exynos version of the Galaxy S4 is not much more powerful than the Snapdragon 600. Furthermore, the battery life performance of the Exynos-touting variant is consistently worse than the one by the Snapdragon 600 version."

        "We feel that the gains in battery life of the Snapdragon 600 outweigh the gains of the slightly better performance of the Exynos chipset. And since everything else is pretty much the same, we'd say that the more sensible choice would be the variant with Snapdragon 600. Of course, that would be valid only if both sell at around the same price, which seems to be the case as we are writing this."

      You were right about that. I saw the review about i9500 is actually faster in 3D gaming and has longer battery life. Btw, I don't need 4G since I am on a TPG mobile plan.

        i9500 is much worse, google more.
        I have an HTC One that uses the same CPU as i9505 and I can tell you that it heats up but not overheating.

        That's a small issue and I can put up with it.

        HTC One is no where near as good as i9500. I won't even pay $400 for that.

        Yeah not a big issue.
        You probably haven't used the One yet so you say that lol…

    I9500 battery life depends on how long the fast cores are used for. The slow cores (A7’s) are much more efficient than the Snapdragon 600. So if in a regular working week you only use your phone occasionally like me then I think I will get much longer battery life from the I9500. However if you test the battery life through intensive benchmarking, playing videos, playing 3d games then of course the faster i9500 is going to chew through more power.
    Also if you have the power saving mode enabled then only the efficient A7’s are used during phone calls, web browsing and emails.
