Samsung this week announced that the Galaxy S4 would have a release date on seven U.S. carriers by the end of April, including AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon and Sprint. The news should come as no surprise as the Samsung Galaxy S4 marketing machine kicks into high gear.
One thing that the company has been a bit more tightlipped about, however, are the exact specs of the Galaxy S4 variant that will be making its way to a store near you. Namely, there seem to be a lot of discrepancies over who's getting the octa-core variant that Samsung made a pretty big deal about it, and who's getting the weaker, four-core version.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 specs sheet for India confirms that country will be getting eight cores, but the UK, for instance, wasn't as lucky. After promising the octa-core chipset, Samsung welshed last month, confirming that UK users will need to get by on the quad-core variant.
