I have dug around quite a bit and can not find a sure fire way to root this phone. It has the Qualcomm snapdragon 820 CPU. I have seen a bunch of root videos for the exynos, but not many for the snapdragon. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hi guys, I know this is predominantly a phones forum and hope I have posted this in the right place, so hopefully some guru can assist. Cheers
I am looking to buy a 10.1 tablet and there are two that have caught my eye. one has a cortex A7 quad core and the other the Cortex A9 quad core. Have gone to the Arm website to look at specs but its too confusing for my small brain. Have tried google to see if there's a comparison but the closest I get is quad vs duo. Can anyone give me some direction as to which would be the best. both will have 4.4.2 kitkat on them with 1 gig memory and 16 gig int storage. Any help/Guidance much appreciated:good:

cortex a9 would be faster than the a7
Hello guys!
I was wondering if there was a way to find out the SoC binning on my GS6. Also does anyone know how many bins are there? My device is not rooted.
Thanks in advance
I am planning to buy a phone soon and although I'm not a developer (yet), I would like to try things such as making a custom rom, making my own android apps, etc.
I know Nexus phones are popular among developers but I just don't like the latest nexus phone and it's not cheap anymore. I am rooting for the Samsung Galaxy S7 just because it's popular, and some other features I like.
I found that there are two CPUs to choose from: Exynos and Qualcomm. Exynos version seems to be cheaper for the same memory. Does it matter if the processor is Exynos or Qualcomm if I want to become a developer?
Another phone I'm looking into is the Asus Zenphone 3 Deluxe. Its CPU is Qualcomm and the price is the same as the Exynos version of Samsung S7. Though my first choice really is Samsung.
Thanks!
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
I want to know if someone is already planning to release a kernel that gives the option to overclock the device. As I see, Redmi Note 5 Pro already have some kernels that overclocks the phone to Snapdragon 660 speeds, I wonder how much time will take to someone port this feature to Note 6 Pro. Or maybe if there's another way to overclock a Snapdragon device, I'm not familiar with Snapdragon, my previous phones were Exynos.
My interest on overclock is to play emulators and heavy games like PUBG. My device isn't rooted and doesn't have bootloader unlocked yet, but I plan to do it soon when I think it's worth rooting.
