It has been confirmed that the UK version of the samsung galaxy S4 will be powered by the Snapdragon 600 processor .Samsung has already confirmed the Galaxy S4 flagship will ship with Snapdragon 600 chipset in the USA, Canada and Sweden. 


Just to remember you there are two varients of samsung galaxy s4,one powered with the Snapdragon 600 and the other with the Exynos 5 Octa.The Exynos 5 Octa chipset features two processors (which can't operate simultaneously) - a quad-core 1.6GHz ARM Cortex-A15 CPU used for heavier loads and a quad-core 1.2GHz ARM Cortex-A7 CPU for lighter tasks. The Exynos 5 Octa also features a tri-core PowerVR     
                                                                   SGX544MP3 graphics.                    




The Qualcomm's Snapdragon 600 chipset comes with a quad-core Krait 300 processor and Adreno 320 graphics. In the Galaxy S4 models to use it, the four Krait 300 cores are clocked at 1.9GHz and as we saw in our preview that was enough to beat every other phone  tested so far.


The main reason for sammy to vomite the Exynos 5 Octa could be that  LTE-enabled Galaxy S4 model (I9505) is the one based on the Snapdragon 600 chipset, while the Exynos 5 Octa one (I9500) won't feature LTE connectivity. That's  why  key markets such as USA, Canada, UK are getting the Snapdragon-powered Galaxy S4 - because of the LTE availability in those countries.
