I find it interesting that you cite the lack of a Snapdragon 600, when pretty much the only noticeable difference between the two is 1.9 vs 1.7 GHz clock speed. Same cache, same gpu, same instruction set. It becomes even more ironic when the Snapdragon S4 Pro in the S4 will have...wala...1.9 GHz. The 800 is a whole different story, but I don't think anybody in any way whatsoever expected the 800 in the S4. I'm sure cost is significantly higher, not to mention it isn't even available yet, which would have delayed the launch of the S4 by several months. If you don't want a cheap plasticky design, then go buy a DNA, it's a solid phone. |

" This is quad core Krait 300 (as opposed to 200 in MSM8960 or APQ8064) which brings a 15 percent increase in IPC as well as higher clocks (from 1.5 to 1.7 GHz), for about 20–30 percent higher overall CPU performance."
APQ8064 is S4 Pro.
The difference isn't huge (10-15% manye) but it's important to note that HTC One is getting 12000+ on quadrant while Galaxy S4 is going to get ~8000 if it's in line with current S4 Pro scores.
