XDA policy not enough 901f users to get forum, yet noone has this phone.
there is an S5 forum, no need for a dedicated forum for every S5 revision. this forum is for S6 AND S6 Edge... see?
no as the s6 and s6 edge have the same components, the only difference is the screen.
the s5 901f is a different phone to the normal s5. different cpu/chipset and modem.

Not quite true, the edge's processor runs at 2.5 GHZ whereas the regular S6's processor runs at 2.1 (by that I mean the faster "bank" of 4)

Is this really confirmed?

Okay, so I'm looking to get a new phone, and the S6 is very high on my list, next to the One M9. I'd prefer the S6 for several reasons (battery, screen, fingerprint reader, ect) however there is one thing that keeps me on the fence. The S6 uses an Exynos CPU instead of a Qualcomm. What worries me is that ROM porting will be more difficult. The main one I have in mind is the Windows 10 ROM pack, which I really want to use. Currently the only confirmed phones are from Xiaomi, but I figure it would be easier to port it to the Snapdragon 810 then the Exynos. Plus all current windows phones only use Snapdragon processors. Is this an issue? Will the proprietary chipset hurt ROM development?

Actually yes and no. Exynos is a very poweful chip but samsung is a bish when it comes to releasing source code. See what they did with exynos 4 ( 4210 and 4412 i.e. one on s3 and note 2 ). Still the s3 had amazing rom support. I flashed my s3 the day I got it. I never had a problem with it, used it for 2 years ( thats for most of us). Keeping rom support in mind I got a Nexus 6 this march, and it had almost the same roms as the s3 had, BUT yes snapdragons are very friendly when it comes to sources. It does take huge developer efforts for building and maintaining exynos sources using reverse engineering. I got rid of my nexus 6 ( 2 units) because they had such ****ty quality control (Moto sucks in this area). S6 will have enough roms soon .. just initially it will take time but soon it will pick up pace.
Yeah, I've actually decided to go with the Oneplus One, it has a bigger battery, and more storage, I don't really care about the resolution (my eyes can't see it), and it's infinitely cheaper. However, since you seem to know so much about processors, what is the deal with Mediatek? I just don't get it, every device I've seen with them are horribly sluggish, and I'd think that a similarly priced Snapdragon would be more powerful.
If yes, why?
I think is better because it has IP68 and the MicroSd slot.
Vulkan and Game Launcher, better battery and better camera.
Well going mostly off of mainly speculation, the answer is yes, definitely yes:
- Better camera
- Faster processor
- Far superior battery life
- Better ergonomics (back is slightly curved now)
- Better screen to body ratio
- MicroSD support and water/dustproof
When it comes to value, that's something you'll have to decide. But in my opinion it's worth the value.
Yes
Of course. Differences are big.
Wtf? Why wouldn't it be?

The "watercooling" process used on the Galaxy S7 has nothing to do with what's used to cool x86 based CPUs in desktop architectures...
Doesn't appear to be much. .. for another £700

But that feature is a bonus for me
I think MicroSD and IP68 are killing features ahah ?
I have the 6 edge plus. great phone. but very uncomfortable to hold. I held both 7 and 7 edge. it is so comfortable to hold for that reason alone I switched to the 7 edge.

I love this.
My bro got edge plus and loves it but as previously posted the handling of the s7 is really nice and does make a difference
I use a S7 edge SM-G935F Exynos 8890 for trading on the go. I got a new S8+ SM-G955F Exynos 8895 and when I do simultaneous trades on both phones, the S7 edge is faster every time. Is this because the S7 processor is 2.6Ghz and the S8+ is 2.3Ghz. Just thought the new S8+ would execute faster.
If GHz matters, why aren't 2008 computers faster than 2017 computers? 2008 computers often have a higher GHz than 2017 computers.. Yawn...
Geekbench doesn't say the same..

Please remember that the operating system has been improved from update to update, the Galaxy 7 / Edge was not so from the beginning. Let it be at the performance or RAM managment. It has been constantly improved, I think after 1-2 firmware updates, the Galaxy S8 / + will get a similar performance leap.
Gesendet von meinem SM-A520F mit Tapatalk
I don't find the s8+ any different from the s7 edge I think it's true to say it's not really worth the upgrade from the s7 edge to the s8+. Don't get me wrong I like the s8+ just like I did the s7 edge
Side by side with my S8+ and S7E, the S8+ is faster and better at everything I have done. The display is noticeably nicer/brighter with better colors on the S8+. The display size to phone size ratio is obviously far superior on the S8+. Way more display, barely any bigger phone overall.
As far as apps, etc, the S8+ is just faster. I thought I would miss the hardware home button, but have not missed it at all. I rarely lock my phone so having the fingerprint scanner on the back has not been an issue.
Pictures are far superior on the S8+. I realize the most of the hardware is the same or close to the same in both phones, but the S8+ takes noticeable better pics. Especially low light pics, but all pics.
I really can't complain about the S8+. I only used my S7E for a few months once they bricked my Note 7, and the S7E was good. Not as good as my Note 7 was, but not that much of a downgrade. But the S8+ truly does make the S7E seem dated in several ways. These may be areas that most people aren't overly concerned about, and truly the S7E is a fine phone and could last many people several years of quality usage yet. But it is still not as nice as the S8/S8+. That is just how these things work - almost always newer versions will be better. I expect the Note 8 to have several enhancements that make it better than the S8+. As a long time Note phone user, I will be very tempted to sell my S8+ and get the Note 8, but for now I am very happy with what I have. And I kept my S7E as my backup phone so worst case scenario I have a very good phone in case I lose or break my S8+. Win/Win.
The S8Plus is faster than a speeding bullet (Exynos version)!
Your first post! Welcome to XDA!
3dMark also has the S8+ snapdradon version faster than even the S8+ with the exynos chip.
My S7E ran like a Honda missing half it's spark plugs. I am willing to say it's the worst phone I've ever owned and I have owned a loooooot.

Samsung IS working on a Galaxy S8 Active, according to Netflix...
It seems that despite both the current and last generation of Samsung Galaxy flagships being waterproof, Samsung still doesn't want to let go of the "Active" sub-brand of durable and weatherproof phones.
Details have leaked online of the Galaxy S8 Active with the codename Cruiser and the model number SM-G892A. Now, however, Netflix appears to have outed the fact that this particular model number supports HD streaming by referencing it in a support document.
And now we've got a set of leaked live photos of the handset, giving our best view of it to date. It showed up on multiple Reddit posts, in a video on YouTube (below), and via Android Central's forums. We get a good look at the front and back of the device and, unsurprisingly,it's very similar to the regular Galaxy S8 aesthetic, although it has that polycarbonate build and is noticably chunkier; 1.5x thicker, in fact.

Would be good if it's Exynos, so bootloader could be unlocked. But since it's an AT&T exclusive, I doubt it. Probably Snapdragon 835 (with locked down bootloader), like all the other North America S8.
I'll be happy to be wrong!
I would switch from tmobile if its true
I came across with two tests today comparing the both processors. Though some people would be interested. I would also like to see the both phones users confirming the results on their side. 3DMark Wild Life scores on the other hand are a bit disappointing for Exynos. I have currently ordered an Exynos version and still have time to cancel it. What would you recommend?

I would definitely keep your order running.
I had both versions of the S21 ultra.
Im not playing games, but use my phones a lot... And to be honest, i couldn't feel or see any difference.
I pre-order the S22 ultra to in the Exynos version without any concerns vs the SD version.
I have the Tab S7 to and never had any problems.
This is just my humble opinion
Per Tom's Hardware:
Ice Universe says that the AMD RNDA2 GPU part of the Exynos SoC has a target clock speed of 1.9 GHz. However, in practice, due to thermal issues, it could only run at 1.29 GHz, in an acceptable manner. Various clocks between 1.29 GHz and 1.9 GHz were tested, goes the tale, but the lesser speed was the first with acceptable thermals. The actual temperatures are not revealed, instead we learn that all for speeds greater than 1.29 GHz, they are "hot".
Ice Universe has some further interesting info about what Samsung is trying now that it has hit that thermal throttling performance wall. According to Ice Universe's leak, Samsung is going to try and tweak things to get the GPU running acceptably at 1.49GHz "to restore some dignity".
I've used both of them and based on my experience, Snapdragon is always better. It gives you stable performance and often supports bootloader unlocking.

"Snapdragon often supports bootloader unlocking" Not on S Series devices, much wider availability on Exynos variants. Only one Snapdragon variant offered bootloader access on the S21 Ultra, SM-G9980.
You would find More developers working on snap dragon than Exynos to bring custom ROMS. If you see devices such as Poco F1, OnePlus 8T and X3 Pro you would find almost every custom from working on them.
This is a S22 Ultra Forum, we're not discussing a bunch of cheap Chinese phones nor is the OP asking questions about them. What does your response have do with the unlocked bootloaders on S Series variants? Exynos devices have far more development and custom ROM's on S Series than Snapdragon. In reality development is declining with Samsung devices, Android 12 and OneUI 4 has made it far more challenging to implement custom platforms.

Since you've ordered a Exynos equipped device I assume you're in Europe or the UK, correct? So your Service Provider can only enable all their Call Features (5G, Carrier Aggregation and the rest) if you have a Exynos Chipset and their branded phone or possibly the unlocked device. How valuable are those features to you? For me it's a no brainer, I would only aquire the Snapdragon SoC no matter where I lived "if" I wanted the device, which I don't. The more that is made public, the less confidence I have in the S22 Ultra, particularly the Exynos version. Honestly, if someone gave one to me for free, I'd give it back.
Thanks for the replies. I've found this on youtube and it shows that the performance of Exynos 2100 has been improved / optimised in time and caught up with SD so decided to keep Exynos version.

That's the S21 Exynos SoC. The S32 Ultra has a Exynos 2200 Chipset which has been totally redesigned.

Yes I'm aware of it. I shared it as a reference of how Samsung support Exynos 2100 in time and improved it's performance. So Exynos 2200 might have a lower score against SD at the moment but it's performance will be improved in time too.
