Hi, I just bought the Note 3 4G (LTE) in Dubai for 2800 Durhams. They did not have the Exynos model in stock as someone bought the last one before me.
The original price was 3000 durhams for the note 3 lte but because I visitied the shop a few times and wanted the exynos the cashier gave it to me for 2800.
Was this the right choice to buy the Snapdragon Version? Thanks
The Snapdragon processor is way better. Excellent choice!
Agree! Excellent choice!

I would have to guess it's still the Snapdragon variant though.
"dual-core 1.5Ghz processor with 1GB of RAM"
Hurry up and bring them to the UK!
Lol.. I have been waiting for months now
I really want one

OK here's my dilemma I live in the States and have Lte in my location. But I'm fine with HSPA+ speeds. I've never owned an octa-core phone and I know apps are not optimized for octacore but the performance increase is still there correct? At least as far as the system goes. I'm torn on what to buy. Thanks for any input guys.

n9005
Get the T-Mobile N900T variant, it has AT&T/T-Mo LTE bands and works fine on both networks if unlocked. You can get it a bit cheaper than N9005 as well. I flashed a ROM that was modded from N9005's stock to my N900T so it reports as N9005 now but has full LTE support.

Keep in mind, it's not really a true octacore cpu. It's either in 4core heavy cpu mode or 4core light cpu mode. And Samsung has specifically said they won't be updating it to actually run all 8 cores at the same time (which might be better that the sd800, but I doubt by any serious margin). As it stands, you get roughly equal performance, but you don't get 4G video or lte with exynos. That, and I believe there is a ton more development for sd800 vs exynos.
So unless something drastically changes, the exynos is just limiting you vs the sd800 version.

Good point I was reading an article just a sec ago about the octa not really being octa. Basically a sells point. The n9005 looks more promising.

i have a question that i ask everywhere but no one answer me:
Does Note 3 N9005 work on Tmobile's 4G?
Thank a lot.
I recently sold my Sony Z1 and stuck on an old iPhone 3G (kill me now). Unfortunately, i cannot find any G900F in my country, the only available is the HSPA model G900H. I feel like buying a 3G phone in 2014 is a bit ridiculous especially at this price. Plus, as I understand, modding/custom ROMs are more difficult to acheive on the Exynos model? I'd love to go out and buy my S5 today.
Would you buy the Exynos model?

You are in my oposite situation, i rather have the G900H model for the Wolfson audio chip, but i want root and CWM recovery, that aren't yet available for it.
I am considering the G900F but all my Samsung phones have been Exynos.
The 900H has Wolfson ? Wow. I didnt know that. Should get another H

Does Wolfson really makes that difference?, i just wanted it because i ve read they are very good and all my galaxy phones have had it, but also in the gsmarena review said snapdragon S5 was one of the phones with best sound ever.

yup the S5 does have good sound. But i prefer Wolfson to Qualcomm as they have good history of audio processing devices. Qualcomm doesnt. Imo

Hello guys
Im thinking to get one of those phones: Samsung Galaxy Note3 or Samsung Galaxy Note 3 duos (SM-N9002).
I like SM-N9002 because it has dual sim.
Please help me to decide which one to get?
Thanks

if you are choosing between the N9005 and the N9002,
in terms of hardware, they are practically the same except the dual sim version (N9002) supports only 3G up to HSPA+
while the single sim (N9005) will support LTE.
another thing of note is that the N9002 is a China exclusive model; it will still work for most carriers worldwide but the main catch is that it does not come with Google play store and google apps pre-installed. This can easily be rectified though by rooting and installing a custom ROM.
other than that, the N9002 is currently the king of dual sim phones worldwide; with premium flagship specifications.
so the choice would depend on your priority for LTE vs Dual sim.

Thanks very much!!!
you might regret choosing 9002 if you are a update maniac
So I mistakenly bought the S5+ (G901F) from a seller thinking its the regular S5. I just want to know if there is any significant difference in battery life between the 2 models?
The only difference between the two devices is that the G901F is the LTE-A version, which supports the 4G Cat-6 network speeds (300/50mbps instead of 150/50mbps). As far as I know, no carriers support this yet apart from the ones in South Korea. The battery life/capacity is exactly the same on both devices.
