I can't find any modem chip such as Qualcomm MDM9615 or anything else on the motherboard, so anyone no why?
I believe the 8974 snapdragon 800 has the modem on the main soc chip, not a separate chip. http://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/processors/800

The snapdragon 800 cpu is a SOC chip that contains the radio/modem.

Why does samsung produce 2 variants of the gs4 one with the*1.6 GHz Exynos 5 Octa eight-core processor and*1.9 GHz Snapdragon 600 quad-core processor? I know that they do this because of LTE and HSP+ but why cant they make a chip that is the same but just with LTE or HSP+ or both? I hate how they do this because I always get stuck with the us variant which usually isnt as good and imagine the dev support if their was only one variant so you*wouldn't*have to have a bunch of versions with*different*dev support

Ok, Samsung website doesn't seem to help and their reps definitely don't help!
The new note 10.1 comes with the 8 core 1.9ghz processor. Or so they would like you to think!!!
One site says "Under the hood, the international version of the Note 10.1, the version I reviewed, packs in Samsung's eight-core 1.9GHz Exynos 5 Octa processor and a Mali-T628 GPU. In the US, you'll get Samsung's 1.3GHz quad-core Exynos 5420 processor instead."
Another site says "1.9GHz Samsung Exynos 5420 Quad-Core Processor; Wi-Fi connected only" for the US version.
So, if you get the Note 10.1 in the good old USA, you only get the 1.3ghz quad core cpu. That's a slower chip than the Note 8.
If you get it global, you get the 1.9ghz cpu octa-core (which is actually a quad core), or with the 2.3ghz quad for the LTE.
The LTE runs on GSM, not CMDA, so it will only work with carriers that use GSM sim card. Do we have those in the US?
Samsung website says "Exynos® 1.9GHz Quad Processor + 1.3 GHz Quad Processor" Apparently they are both in there. I'm guessing they shut off the fast processor for us.
Has anyone bought the US new one and tested it? I'm guessing you can't just look at the settings and tell what's running under the hood. Can I get an international one and flash a US firmware into it and keep it running at 1.9ghz?
Had one in the "cart", but I'm going to hold off and see what's what.

I believe the exynos 5 octo is based on having four 1.9ghz a15 cores and four 1.3ghz a9 cores for easier tasks (for power efficiency's sake). Thats one of the possible processors on the note 2014; the other is snapdragon 800 quad core which is 2.3ghz if i remember correctly.
This is all from memory so it might not be perfectly accurate. Hope it helps

Interested in this post... I always wondered which is which as well.
Will the snapdragon version have 4 or 8? Does anyone know?

Snapdragon 800, which is currently the flagship, has 4 cores. Only Mediatek and Samsung have octocores in the mobile market and samsung's is not even a real octo.

Hi Bros,
Did anyone know what LTE modem will be used in S6? As S6 not using Snapdragon 810 anymore, but using Exynos 7420, so the LTE modem is no way using Qualcomm Gobi LTE modem. Why I ask this question because in US, ATT only support Qualcomm Gobi modem. I own a Note 4 with N910U version but cannot use ATT LTE as the modem is from Intel 7260. ATT block all other modem. As S6 not come with 810 chip, ATT should update their software/hardware in order to support the coming business of S6. My N910U may be also benefit and can use LTE.

Not only that, they still need Qualcomm for CDMA networks. I am pretty sure it is going to be Exynos 7420 + Qualcomm modem combo.

If in this case, I'm no hope to use LTE with my N910U. Too bad.
any help which is better for signal strength snapdragon 835 or exynos 8895.

You give a partial question with no real information and expect a reply?
Snapdragon and Exynos would work about the same, Snapdragon would have an advantage in CDMA though.

According to GSMarena the sprint model has a Qualcomm MSM8937 Snapdragon 430 (octacore) with Adreno 505. My phone is a J327P that came in a boost mobile box but everything (all apps recognize it as sprint, all bloatware) is sprint on it. I don't even live in US so i can't ask about it. Anyway according to CPU-Z it's a MSM8937, with a quad core 430 and Adreno 308. I tried some other apps and they all identify it as MSM8937 but with 4 cores and A 308. Someoen can confirm the specs?
yep! the phone has the qualcomm 430. the j3 2017 actually has a strange processor scheme, as far as im concerned it goes like this:
sprint/boost: snapdragon 430
tracfone/verizon: snapdragon 425
att/tmo/unlock: exynos 7570
