Just saw this and thought it might be very interesting if true!

Sorry if double post.
It's gotta be a mistake, but awesome if true.
If it's Exynos, it won't be LTE. If it's LTE, it won't be Exynos.
I'm betting on LTE. Most buyers won't give a damn if it's Exynos and has a marginal real-world performance advantage. They will care if it's only HSPA+ though.

I think the one thing that might suggest it does have the Exynos is that it is branded At&t, the rear cover has the Samsung logo removed, Galaxy Note added, but there is no flaming 4G logo on it. Fingers Crossed this is true!
Is it just me or does that 4G symbol say LTE under it like my skyrocket?
I WANT TO BELIEVE.
Seriously though, could easily happen. I'd take it over LTE

Did some zooming in, and yep, that says LTE.
Well, there's a chance it can still be the Exynos, since the Snapdragon is rated at 1.5GHz, and this is rumored at 1.4GHz, it could be the Exynos 4212, which is LTE compatible.
Wouldn't mind scamming the back cover from one of the AT&T units though, kinda like the "Galaxy Note" branding.

I don't use this word a lot, but that would be EPIC!
I guarantee it will have LTE. All of AT&T's high-end phones released after the GSII have been LTE-capable. It's remotely possible that it has the new Exynos chipset that supports LTE. I doubt it, but it's possible. I have a feeling that the Engadget story just cribbed the specs from the unlocked international Note.

I agree with dwboston. I cannot see ATT launching this without LTE, especially since they just lit up several more LTE markets. We will see about the processor but as we have seen before many of these tech sites copy and paste specs without verification. I remember the frenzy about the t mobile SGSII and then the Skyrocket speculation until it was confirmed to have the Snapdragon 3. And the Skyrocket works fine with the snapdragon. I think I prefer my international GNote since I have an LTE phone, my battery life is amazing on HSPA+. Plus I like having no bloat or "other things" from ATT.
If you go check the sources...in this article....pocketnow .... it says No exynos...
the source has been edited to show no exynos and will swap out for the snapdragon...
http://pocketnow.com/android/samsung-galaxy-note-for-att-first-press-shots-images
That article on PocketNow is just full of "win"
"SGH-i957 Celox HD"? The SGH-i957 is the Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE (mine is sitting right here in front of me). If they can't even tell that an already launched model number is not some secret new device, how likely are they to get the story right on an unreleased model?
Also, my Tab 8.9 LTE? Snapdragon S3 powered, 1280x800 resolution, and guess what? IT DOES NOT SUCK. Really.
I don't see what the fuss is all about with the LTE-capable Snapdragon S3.
It has comparable specs to that of the Exynos, and the new Snapdragons even excels over the Exynos in some benchmark tests.
Yeah, Exynos is probably the better chipset if OC'd/tweaked, but in stock, the new Snapdragons seem to be comparable with the Exynos.

It is comparable to Exynos 1.2Ghz but the International Note has Exynose 1.4Ghz.

I have the N7000, I have the i957 (Snapdragon S3). The Tab does not suck compared to the Note, trust me.
Seems to be a lot of confusion whether the octa-core version will have LTE so if anyone could advise that would be much appreciated and for reference the qualcomm S600 definitely has LTE.
i have read that octa dont have lte in usa because qualcomm has patents on lte chips in there..

If that were the case they should still be able to licence under FRAND, since it's a standards essential patent, right? If not, that's quite a monopoly on the US LTE market. Plus, what would that mean for Tegra4 devices? At any rate, I'm so sick of hearing about patents in the consumer electronics (specifially smartphones) sector. It's out of hand and needs dealth with properly.
Might of found the answer.

BUT, I don't think that band 5 is used by anyone here in the US. Band 5 is used by Philipines/S.Korea.

Just to clarify, International S4's will have LTE.
US ones have quad core snapdragons probably just for supply issues, like last year (the Note 2 is exynos, quadcore (same processor as the S3) and had LTE).

I heard rumours that the octa-core international one bound for the UK would be 3G only and only the quad core S600 would have LTE enabled which seemed very odd to me.

I am pretty sure they will all be LTE enabled, we will wait and see.
i cant imagine them releasing a phone thats not LTE in the states.....that would be the worst move in the history of phones....
Germany will get the 600 too. Apparently all the markets that have 4G LTE won't get the octa.
In Indonesia get octa and 600 and the news says that both of them get LTE :screwy::screwy:

Just because it HAS LTE, doesn't mean it's the RIGHT LTE bands. Keep that in mind. Also, Note 2 does not have a 5 series processor.... It's an A9, not A15....

Quote from another forum:
But there was some confusion about wich version we would get here in Scandinavia so NordicHardware got in touch with Samsung and the answer was that all LTE versions will use Snapdragon S600 and the 3G versions will use Exynos 5410. But they wont be releasing the 3G version here since everyone has moved onto LTE, im assuming the situation will be similar in other parts of Europe aswell

I want Exynos. Here we got LTE for 4 towns buts its not covered all. Beside that they are charging to enable LTE 5-10€ and giving you 1GB LTE speed, after that 64kb rofl

I thought all models would have 4G now ._.
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

If the S5 turns out like any of the previous Samsung devices, then the Snapdragon one is the better to choose for development etc, in regards to stats, even though they both have different CPU's they both perform around the same rate.. So neither one is the "better" one.

ok mate i will buy octa core one .
Speaking of this. Does anyone know a place to buy an unlocked one in the US? I want to use it with straight talk, but don't want to have the at&t stuff on the back and on the phone. I think unlocked phones get updated quicker??
Not sure if I trust the Joe Schmoes on Amazon

Hey Guys,
I am currently using the S6 and I hate this damn piece of S*** because the phone reception and call quality is conclusively terrible compared to other devices that are using the Snapdragon Processor Variant.
Don't tell me it's not true because I have tested it. RECEPTION WITH EXYNOS PRROCESSORS IS TERRIBLE - PERIOD.
I want the Snapdragon and I am really hoping it will be available in Europe. What if it isn't? can I still by the Snapdragon and will it work on the LTE bands in Europe? Any known disadvantages?
I'd love to hear your words.
Contacted Samsung France today ... It's sadly true ... No custom ROMs for us ..
That is indeed sad but what's even more sad ais that the Exynos Variant sucks even more with cellphone reception. I had the Nexus 6P Snapdragon 810 for a few days and MAN you won't believe how much stronger the reception was.
There is no doubt at all that the Exynos variant has a significantly worse LTE Radio and for that I will simply buy the G5 after 8 YEARS OF SAMSUNG ONLY.
It's enough suffering with this crap reception, dropped and missed calls! Worthless Samsung - FAIL
NEVER AGAIN.
I live in europe and I hate exynos chipset too. Any solution to import snapdragon version??

But development of what? The exynos will have plenty of roms being made for it, except they'll most likely be based on the stock touchwiz rom. If you want aosp then you'll want the snapdragon version. But the s6 currently has an aosp being developed for it, so that will most likely be available on the s7 too in the future.

That LTE modem on the Exynos 8890 isn't that bad (hell it's actually not bad at all). Granted the SD820's baseband is better than it's competition, but the Exynos 8890's baseband is nothing to cry about.
Keep in mind that this is not the Exynos 7420 SOC used in the Galaxy S6/S6 Edge phones.

You might want to check which model this actually is prior to purchasing. Global version G395F does not have Snapdragon meaning they're likely selling an Overpriced G395T.

So, to confirm, you had superior reception on a completely different phone from a completely different manufacturer and you automatically put it down to the chipset?
