Looking at getting Galaxy S8+/ Note8 Exynos or SD? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

I am looking to purchasing either the Galaxy S8+ or the Note 8. I am curious about what i should go with the Exynos or the Snapdragon.
I really like to be able to in the future install linageOS onto it. However I still want it to work with T-Mobile's network.
Is there any real reason that Exynos has not made it stateside?

Note 8 isn't out and neither are any benchmarks comparing the exynos and sd835 head to head.
Samsung doesn't have a cdma modem for sprint/verizon so they need qualcomms modem, which is bundled with the 835 soc.
You'll need to import the international version from europe, pretty sure it'll work on tmobile.

Wouldn't the S8 forums be better for this?

Want exynos note edge. Which model is best for t-mobile USA? I know no lte.

Hi I am interested in the note edge exynos version for use on t-mobile's HSPA+42 network. I know this variant will not have USA lte support. Which model should I be looking at? The exynos processor is better for low level hardware coding from what I've been reading. Basically it's better for emulators like ppsspp. Or maybe you guys should convince me to use a snapdragon. I don't know. Lte never seemed like a big deal to me with t-mobile's HSPA+42 network. I actually use straight talk, which in turn uses t-mobile's network. At first straight talk didn't even use lte. Now it does and I never thought it much of an upgrade and understood why the nexus 4 didn't support lte.

Galaxy S6 Variants??

Hey I heard that Galaxy S6 will be powered by Exynos. So, I am currently using note 3 and 3G variant is powered by exynos while the 4G one is by Snapdragon qualcomm
So, will all S6 variants be powered by exynos? In fact, will there be a 3G variant ? I need to know that because in note 3 i have had lack development because most awesome roms are for 4G one and I can't install them on my 3G. This time, i am gonna buy 4G one but what model number will 4G S6 be?
All S6/S6E will have Exynos SoC and 4G/LTE.

So , there will be no 3G Variant?
Correct, no 3G-only version. All will have LTE. In the past, Samsung flagships with the Snapdragon SoC had LTE but the Exynos versions did not. Now all S6/S6E will have an Exynos SoC with LTE.

Samsung Galaxy J7108 LTE BAND 20?

Hello, I just bought this phone from China, because it has much better hardware than euroupe version. And I am wondering if there's a way to unlock LTE band 20 (800). Phone runs on Exynos 7580 processor.

Snapdragon or Exynos in 2021?

I am thinking of replacing my LG V30+ with S10e.
I am in Europe (easy access to Exynos), but can also import from US (Snapdragon).
Which is the better option in 2021? I need root, great camera performance and battery life. Custom ROMs are not a must.
you can't unlock bootloader of US version by yourself, so getting root is not easy...
S10e Exynos version has poor battery life...
Does it really? How poor?
In my experience the Exynos model always had the better battery life but worse performance (not even by much....unless you gamed. you hardly noticed it)

I bought both the Exynos and Snapdragon model. Took them on a road trip across the US last year and this is what I found:
Exynos is much easier to root then Snapdragon.
Exynos has a lot of ROM development options. Snapdragon not so much.
Both are similar in speed and battery life.
Cameras are indistinguishable, at least to me.
Cell tower coverage on the Snapdragon was much better than on the Exynos, which lacks several LTE bands used by US carriers. Interestingly, the Snapdragon model seems to include all of the European bands, according to data from www.frequencycheck.com and www.GSMArena.com.
If you care a lot about ROM options, choose Exynos.
If you live in Europe and don't plan to move to the United States, choose Exynos.
I really don't see any reasons to pick Snapdragon, unless you live over here and need those extra LTE bands. I spend so much time tweaking my Snapdragon model because there's literally no ROM development.
Or, just get a Pixel 5 and don't worry about silly Samsung geographic bootloader restrictions and differing LTE bands.

What do you mean by this?
I thought of a pixel 4a but the s10e is slightly better

Thanks!
But on Exynos, you cannot use GCam, right?
