I can choose to buy XT1505 or XT1524, which one is better or which one should I choose.
They are both variants for the Moto E. XT1505 is Global and XT1524 is for Europe
They both have the same case, battery, and camera, but the XT1505 has an older MSM8212 SoC and only supports 3G data, while the XT1524 uses the new MSM8916 SoC with LTE and newer CPU cores. The quad Cortex A53 cores in the 8916 are faster and more energy efficient than the quad Cortex A7s in the XT1505. The MSM8916's GPU is also around 70% more powerful than the MSM8212's GPU.
Simply put, the XT1524 has a better SoC than the XT1505, but it does cost more.
Thanks, I bought the XT1524. I'm really happy and surprised by the performance.

Has there been anything from Samsung that states that the US version will have the S4 chipset. It just does not make an sense that it would not have a chipset made by Samsung. I am guessing we are going get a solid answer on the 29th when they go on their world tour.
I remember their being two conflicting articles from an anonymous Samsung executive about the dual core chip set and LTE compatibly.
As of right now, everything about dual core in US is just rumors. Some sound very reliable. As for me, I highly doubt that the exynos quad would be compatible with Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T LTE network as well as T-mobile HSPA+ 42Mbps. So yeah, chances are there won't be any quad core here
I read a few articles claiming that only T-Mobile would get the quad-core Exynos, but this makes absolutely no sense. The GS3 is 21mbps max, while T-Mobile's "4G" is 42mbps. So, I really doubt that T-Mobile will get the Exynos version, unless they decide that 2 extra cores has more market value than 42mbps HSPA+.
So, it is likely that T-Mobile will get a version that is crippled with the Qcomm S4 chip. Because of the incompatibility of LTE+Exynos, it is also possible for Verizon, ATT, etc to get the dual core version as well. For example, the HTC One X had to be switched to S4 to work on AT&T's LTE network.
Heard long shot rumour US maybe get exynos 5 with arm cortex a-15 2ghz dual core. I'd be OK with that if no exynos 4 quad in US. A-15 performance might be on par with quad A-9.
Though most likely if qualcomm S4 I'm going international.

Any Cortex-A15 would destroy the quad-core Exynos 4412. But the chance of an A15 being released for the US version is almost nonexistent.

Maybe for an upgraded version? Like they did with the Skyrocket or T989...
... along with the 2 GB of RAM both the Canadian and seemingly, the US version is getting; it would have easily outpaced probably anything the upcoming iPhone would have boasted.
Maybe there's not a real world difference between dual core and quad core if you're using the right chips, but quad core just translates to as a better marketing gimmick. It also throws around propaganda when all these sites throw up benchmark tests and compare, which sells even more phones. The iPhone probably won't be out until several months later, so it might be rocking a quad-core chip by then.
Apparently there is currently no ARM Quadcore CPU's that can cope with LTE, next year is what I am told.
if i recall nvidia just validated its LTE terga 3 for att. first quad to actually get cleared with carrier with LTE on board.
I do not use LTE, would it be worth it then?
Why would you want to?
The I747 has the dual core Snapdragon S4 chipset and it's is only about 10%-15% slower (not really noticeable on everyday use) than the quad core Exynos chipset, but the battery life is better on the dual core. It also has 2GB of ram vs. 1GB for the I9300.
The only reason to switch is if you play a lot of graphic intensive games as the I9300 had a better graphics chipset.
Why don't you use LTE? It's smoking fast.

Hi guys!
Recently I bought a moto e 2015 3g variant. Yesterday I had installed CPU z in my phone to check out its specs. After checking all I noticed that CPU z is showing my processor as snapdragon 400! I know very well that my phone has snapdragon 200 processor...
So my question is- why CPU z is showing such wrong information?

The SoC on the 2015 Moto E 3G is marketed as a Snapdragon 200, though it's not the standard MSM8610/8210 model that people usually think of as the Snapdragon 200. The CPU cores in the 2015 E 3G are actually the same as in the Snapdragon 400 of the Moto G, but the GPU is the same as the Snapdragon 200 in the old E (MSM8210). CPU-Z is probably getting confused because the CPU cores are the same as those in the Snapdragon 400.
Anyone able to verify if the BE2026 only supports single frequency Galileo or does it actually receive both E1 & E5A?
Oneplus’s specs state dual frequency GPS while not specifically calling out if Galileo is dual frequency.
What is worrying is that specs for the Oneplus 8’s and the 7T do list support for both frequency bands.
Been looking for a moderately priced Android phone that supports GPS and Galileo dual frequency reception for outdoor activities.
Well, after some further research, it appears that it does....(provided there is isn’t some weird hardware omission between the various models)

Be nice to have an Android device again after a few years of iOS. Excited to see what has changed.
