If you install the app "Phone Info Samsung" it gives you all the phone info including when and where it was made.

When I found there was no snapdragon in the European version I was a bit put out but now I believe we got the better deal, I have no heat issues with my phone at all. The snapdragon is better in some areas but so is the exynos.

From my perspective it is. There are pros and cons to each, but the battery life is reported to be better with the Exynos (per gsmarena), and TW seems to be more optimized for the Exynos chip (less reloading of apps). You can also load custom roms if that's your thing. Right now the Snapdragon has a locked bootloader that may never be unlocked. The Snapdragon has slightly better single-threaded performance.

Regardless of which processor anyone has, if you are happy with the way it performs for you, what does it matter?

Well I just find the apps randomly crash and also some apps do reload when reloading but battery is great
