Shame on you Samsung Exynos vs. Snapdragon comparison.

[Mike Dee]

I've been dealing with the snapdragon all these years underpowered and just went with the flow, for you Exynos people for most part going be ok.

It's kind of what you're used to Ford verses Mopar.

I seem to recall that SD was used in the US and certain countries beacause of LTE and how Exynos was not compatible. It was also noted that Exynos was faster than SD back then but no one went bat **** crazy - I guess because it only affected the Americas, China, as somewhere else. I recall even in posts here about some folks in the US wanting to buy the Exynos version and have it shipped to the US. But it really makes me wonder - why weren't more people bothered by this performance difference when it was the SD version that lagged behind Exynos?

I don't know if those LTE limitations still exist but if they don't, I agree that Samsung needs to stop this nonsense and just make the same damned phone in all regions (sans certain things that don't affect performance - like dual SIMs, etc.) and also include the same damned accessories too (it's like all phone manufacturers think including a case is only desirable outside of the Americas).

At the end of the day, I think people won't notice the difference much between the two in real world usage, but that doesn't mean people shouldn't be getting different innards, either.

I was wondering this same thing. Finally someone brought it up. For years we used to be stuck with the slower processor and nobody outside of the US seemed to care that we were stuck with an inferior product.

Well I got the exynos version. I take solace I gained an extra useful 128gb of memory instead of a faster processor (which makes no difference in most daily use)

 

[DSMpowerhousegroup]

Exactly. Good for you. I have the Snapdragon but with 128gb. That's good enough for me. If I ended up with Exynos I would still be okay with it. The S6 had Exynos and was fine. The Snapdragon chip actually had issues back then, so Samsung skipped it and had Exynos. I remember the LG phone during that time having issues with that Snapdragon chip. Heat, slowing down, etc.

 

[rushmore]

Samsung sunk hundreds of millions into the fab plants, so are doing it out of financial needs. Customers are secondary. Good thing NA radios bands thwarted use here, else we could have had the chip too.

The grand scheme was to go vertical with supply chain for their phones and maybe offer to other companies. Nope.

Or their semiconductor arm should step it up and release a more competitive chip. If the difference in performance was close enough this whole argument would end.

That makes me wonder.... Does Samsung have an agreement with Qualcomm that Samsung's own processors won't be too competitive? If so, Samsung is certainly keeping up their end of the bargain, as I understand it.

I don't know, but I doubt it

Exynos seems to get a lot of flack. I've heard good and bad things about it. It is kind of strange that Samsung does this, but it is what it is!

 

[Notefan161]

Yeah it sucks but my note still lasts me all day and apart from getting hot at times it's still a great phone

Got 6 hours screen time yesterday so that's OK. Would I want better performance and battery life? Sure but doesn't stop me enjoying this phone

They owe Qualcomm royalties not sure when that's over , but that's been since s6 I believe and the Exynoss gas been the more powerful chip until Note 9/s10 series so doubt that they would do that .
