Orange has announced that it will market exclusively until February 5, 2014 Samsung Galaxy S4 Advance version to enjoy the speed theoretical maximum of 150 Mb / s (some relays) its 4G network.
Unlike S4 or S4 Mini Zoom, the new S4 Advance is not a distant cousin of the original S4. This is a variant that differs in functional terms as support LTE Category 4.
a faster connection, but not limited to
But Orange might be the only operator to offer this standard in France, the Galaxy S4 Advance may also be of interest to all other customers. For Qualcomm, which provides the main chip (SoC) European models, the 4G modem is closely related to
processor. Yet the Snapdragon chip 600 of the original S4 is not compatible with the LTE modem category 4, only Snapdragon 800 is. S4 Advance therefore offers the same chip as the Galaxy Note 3 and passes a quad-core Krait CPU 300 to 1.9 GHz CPU to a quad-core Krait 400 to 2.3 GHz, but also a GPU Adreno 320 to Adreno 330. The terminal was already perfectly smooth, but the new model can get even better scores on tests of performance.
Beware of “4G cities, 4G Fields”
Moreover, as pointed out by the UFC-Que Choisir last week, the rate of 150 Mb / s can be achieved with the relay operator the 2600 MHz band.
Remember It this frequency Orange deploys mostly in densely populated areas (in town), as he says, and as you can check on the Internet AntennesMobiles.fr site, but we can assume that favor the 800 MHz band in area under dense, because it can cover larger areas at low cost.
Or Orange, like the other two incumbents, has only a 10 MHz spectrum in 800 MHz band, that achieves the best only 79.2 Mb / s.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Advance is anyway now available in Orange, black or white. It costs 50 euros, after deduction of an offer to pay 150 euros, with an Origami Jet package 80 euros / month, 260 euros after deduction of an ODR of 50 euros, with Origami Play 4G 2 Go to 41 euros / month.
