Galaxy s7 SM-G930PZDASPR Which CPU? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hello I'm wondering if it's worth pursuing rooting this phone.
I looked up the specs and see both Snap Dragon and EXYNOS ?
I know that the snap dragons seem to be a problem and I really think this is probably one of those.
Does anyone have a suggestion of a method that would be good for this phone?

Try installing cpu-z or aida64 and check whether it's exynos based or snapdrag based

Phone is out right now and I won't have it back until tomorrow but this is from the specs for this particular phone maybe you can tell.
Platform OS Android OS, v6.0 (Marshmallow), upgradable to v7.0 (Nougat)
Chipset Exynos 8890 Octa
CPU Octa-core (4x2.3 GHz Mongoose & 4x1.6 GHz Cortex-A53)
GPU Mali-T880 MP12
I'm pretty sure those specs aren't correct this one must be a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 Model
Phone already loaded Nougat.

Snapdragon

Only the G930F / FD and W8 are Exynos iirc

820

is my phone ARMv8?

I have AT&T Infuse and currently using ROM MIUI v1.10.21, baseband UCKJ2.
Is my phone a ARMv7 or ARMv6?
I did a Quadrant and CPU is ARM Cortex A8 (Hummingbird). So that mean i'm ARMv8?
Thx.

Why does it matter? Are you going to to developing or something ha. I think its 7, but therez a big chance its an 8. I think 8 is dual core though, and I know tegra2 is 9, but I'm pretty sure its seven. Someone correct me if om wrong ha.
the reason i ask cuz i want to install font and not sure if i should download ARMv7 or ARMv6 created by a community called CAUG (Cambodia Android Users Group).
The hummingbird is a Cortex A8, so yeah.
Only the OMAP4, Exynos(beast), and Tegra 2 are Cortex A9.

I know its confusing, cortex A8 is actual v7. The designations may refer to different things but all the A8 processors i've seen also say v7.
The Instruction set is ARMv7. The processor branding is CORTEX A8... like pentium, or Athalon. A = application processor, can be M A or R for different tasks, this sigifies a qualification for certaint tasks. , 8 signifies a speed level.
ARMv7 with NEON extension, if you're interested in downloading a codec pack with performance optimizations.

[Q] Exynos 4x12 - SMDK4x12 - Exynos 5250 - is it a Dual or a Quad Core CPU?

Hello guys,
I'm kinda confused here.
I'm asking about a CPU I seen some phones and tablets claim that they have it as a Quad Core processor but somehow in other places like in Antutu and other benchmark programs it'll say something else.
now in the Chinese phone Market you'll see a new line of Quad Core Devices, tablets or phones.
they say they have: Samsung Exynos 4412 CPU and as far as I know this is a Quad Core Processor.
but when u launch Antutu for example on some of these new Chinese Devices you'll see it says:
Exynos 4x12
and will show something like this:
CPU Hardware: SMDK4x12
CPU model: Dual-Core ARMv7 Processor (VFPv3, NEON)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and actually when I read: Exynos 4x12 so the "X" doesn't clear it for me is it: 4212 the dual core one or the 4412 the Quad core one.. u see what I mean?
this is really confusing.
try for yourself searching for Galaxy s3 Clones or knockoff - Galaxy Note 2 Clones or knockoff and u'll see similar things to what I'm asking about.
also the GPU shows in some of these phones claiming to have Quad Core Exynos 4412 that it's: powervr sgx531, while the Samsung Exynos Quad core will have GPU: Mali-T604
lol the whole thing is messed up there..
hope that someone would come and clear it out so we dont get scammed when buying these devices.
thanks
Most Galaxy S2 or S3 clones and knock-offs use an MTK chipset such as the 6575 or the 6577. These would normally be paired with a previous-gen GPU such as the PowerVR SGX 530 or 531.
It is quite easy to modify Android to display a string about the CPU, anything you want really.
A true Exynos CPU will ship with a Mali GPU. The 4x series shipped with the Mali-400, the Exynos 5 in the Chromebook and Nexus 10 ships with the Mali-604, as you stated.
In short, you won't find an Exynos device without a Mali GPU. If it lists anything else - you're probably being misled
thx juzz86 for your reply.
u know what is making this confusion in my opinion?
it's when u read the CPU saying this:
CPU Hardware: SMDK4x12

SMDK stands for: Samsung Mobile Developers Kit and the 4x12 most people will think it's the Quad Core Exynos 4412 cause in the advertisement of the device(s) the sellers claim it has Quad Core processor.
so I found out that: reading SMDK4x12 or even SMDK4412 doesn't mean that the processor itself is the Exynos 4412 Quad Core.
the funny thing is when I demand from some sellers to go online with me and to turn on the camera so I can see for myself whats going on, only then they get scared when they see me ask alot about the CPU and that I doubt it's the Quad Core.
I also have to confess that some of them (the sellers) honestly didn't know that they have a Dual Core Device and not a Quad Core.
so guys... watch out and pay extra attention to the new Claimed to be Samsung Exynos Quad Core 4412 Processor.
ask for proof and Guarantees, and good luck
thanks again juzz
Yes mate, always pays to ask a lot of questions before buying one of these. Unfortunately as you say, most sellers don't understand what they are selling, just that it is 'dual-SIM'.
There is a pretty good following behind at least two of the clones here in the 'General' and 'Android Hacking' forums. Doing a quick search should pull up some.root methods as well.
MTK are getting better, and now even have a quad-core CPU in the works. That'll be a compelling option for some knock-offs, for sure!
Happy buying mate!

I think I just got scammed. Bought one of ebay couple of days ago and realize its most likely a fake

[Q] Which Hardware Is Better??

Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro (Nexus 7 2013 Version), Adreno 320 with 2GB* of Ram or MediaTek MTK6592 (Octa-Core), Mali-450MP4 with 1GB* Ram?
Just want to know what hardware is better.
*Not GPU dedicated Ram

go with the 2 gigs, mali and mediatek are terrible GPU's/CPU's snapdragon and adreno beats the crap out of them. octa core means nothing, phones dont need 8 cores xD quad is just fine.

Snapdragon Soc and others

Hi
There guys
I would like to know more about development on SoC,
1. why Samsung's exynos 5420 are poor in development (less roms, no official cyanogenmod and no miui rom... etc and Qualcomm's snapdragon chipset have loads of mods, cm12, miui, is it because the 8 cores of the exynos or because of biglittle tehnology?
2. Did the snapdragon 810 will be the same?
8 cores
Development of non official cm12 has stop for the exynos note 3

CPU Version?

Hi all,
I believe the S8/S8+ in Europe is meant to come with the new Exynos 8895 10nm CPU, as was marketed.
Interested to know what yours are packing, as according to CPU-Z, mines running an Exynos 8890 14nm (UK, Unlocked) so I'm pretty confused.
Not sure if it's an erroneous report from CPU-Z.
Perhaps get a second opinion? I hear good things about AIDA64 for reporting phone specs accurately.
It shows 14nm for me too in CPU-Z, incorrect, AnTuTu score of close to 180,000 proves that it can't be an inferior processor. AIDA64 shows it as 10nm accurately, just the CPU-Z app that's not showing it accurately
Check with AIDA. Using it for long time, great prog
CPU-Z does not display the correct CPU model until it is updated to do so.
Use another app as mentioned above.
Mine has Exynos 8895 10nm through Optus here in Australia.
Mine 10 nm from Germany

Its a well known issue at this point that its an error with CPU-Z.
A simple search would have told you the same thing.
