Snapdragon.
Dev support has always been much larger for the Snapdragon.
If you want dev support, DO NOT BUY AN EXYNOS DEVICE.

I am in the same boat, International g900h exynos model seems to be not supported at all by development, sadly this is the only model available on my country. I hope this changes when more people gets it.
H = Exynos, not many ppl picked that version up compared to the Qualcomm models...thats one reason you arent seeing as much dev for your variant....second the Exynos platform is notorious for being unfriendly to devs regarding source release.
The Snapdragon vs. the Exynos ?
What is the support path ?
We've seen it on previous phone (I9500 vs. I9505 for example)
Would love get some insight as it would also provide help in buying decisions.
Snapdragon [emoji106]tmobile [emoji7] bliss.

Too early to call, but it has been a "tradition" that the Snapdragon model will be the more widely distributed model. The Exynos model DOES come with LTE now, so that tradition might change, but it only supports CAT4 instead of CAT6 like on the Snapdragon model. I am THINKING that again the Snapdragon model will be the more popular one so that will be the one that devs will support.
I guess more of exynos as we've seen in note 123

Until we see big OEM's other than samsung using exynos, developer support will be more focused on snapdragon because they are widely used in other phones. There will likely be many top tier android devices from multiple OEM's using the Snapdragon 805 SOC. Samsung is still the only OEM of any size buying the exynos SOC.
My bet is firmly in the snapdragon side for the Note 4. This iteration will prove no different from the last generation and the generation before it. Exynos developer support has been poor at best. There were even a couple of posts where developer device maintainers have stopped developing for it in protest. AOSP for the Exynos note 3 was a slooooooow grind. CM and AOSP was available much much quicker for the snapdragon.

That is because Qualcomm has better documentation and Samsung refuses to provide the needed resources for developers. So it will moat likely be the Qualcomm gets the most which will still be limited as most developers are staying away from Samsung all together
Andrilux is buying Note 4 with the Exynos inside.
Hi,
I'll be getting the Note 4 as soon as the gold color arrives to my region as there is only black and white right now, I just wanted to know what version is officially supported by XDA Devs is it the Exynos or Snapdragon version??
Snapdragon will most likely receive more dev support
I reckon it will be the Snapdragon. Lots of devs had a hard time with the Exynos. Try searching on the Galaxy S2 and Note forums.
Thanks for the replies guys...I guess i'll go with the Snapdragon version then
So I'm thinking of buying a used Note 3 because my old Note 2 died and I have a few questions. (Please answer them in order)
1)What are the different versions of the Note 3 (IK that the 4G is the snapdragon model and the exynos model is the normal note 3, am i missing something?)
2)Is there still support for both of the models?
3)Which model has better development support?
4)Does the Exynos model have AOSP support or only TW?
5)Is there any ROM for the Exynos model with S6 and/or Note 4 features?
Thanks a lot in advance!
1- there are many. But yes these 2 are main.
2- from sanmsung? Barley. Devs? All you want.
3- SM-N9005
4-both i think
5-look at development forums for note 3 and you will see.
I recommend snapdragon SM-N9005 due to better dev support here. Some great custom roms it has here.

Thanks! I'm happy that the community still cares about this device! I will try to get the snapdragon version but I would love if more people answered my questions so i can learn the opinions!
1- There are two versions only, hardware wise. Snapdragon and Exynos. But there are probably a zillion version for US carriers, about which I have least interest. In any case, all of them have either SD or Exynos.
2- Snapdragon, yes, Exynos, very minimal. But yes, it's great to see that some new stuffs are cooked for this old champ. But I don't think people will be interested in Note 3 for any longer, as soon as Note 5 goes official, you can think support will be near nil.
3- Snapdragon.
4- As far as I have noticed, I think there is CM for Exynos devices, don't take my word for it though.
5- No idea.
In short, get the Snapdragon version if you can.
1) The main two versions are the Snapdragon (N9005) and Exynos (N900) variant. Everything else is one of those two for a different region or provider.
2)From Samsung, the usual. (meaning, barely.). From the devs here at XDA, plenty.
3) Snapdragon always has better dev support.
4) no idea.
5) no idea, either. Sorry.
Technically the N9005 4G is the 'normal' device. Or international, or whatever they're calling it this week. This is due to the majority of the countries now having 4G. (it was the other way around 5 years ago.) The N900 3G Exynos was meant for lower-level markets that don't have 4G yet.
Keep in mind that the Snapdragon device comes with an Adreno, and the Exynos has a Mali gpu. As well as the Snapdragon having 2.3gHz, and the Exynos a meagre 1.9gHz processor. So if you intend to game on it, Adreno/Snapdragon is the way to go.
Always go for the Snapdragon version if you have the option.

Thanks a lot everyone!
Hello,
I was disappointed by the lack of GS6 for SD slot and battery... So, I bought a LG G4, it was a good phone but it is not developper friendly, so I want to return to Sammy and buy the GS7. But, one thing is not clear for me: What is the best variant for custom roms?? Exynos variant or Snapdragon variant?
Thank you very much and sorry for my bad english
Well I'm running the Note 4 and that has the Snapdragon 805 chip. And from what I read the S7 will have the Snapdragon 820 chip. And I think the Snapdragon is easier to root and make custom ROMS than the Exynos .
The reports all suggest both SD 820 & Exynos; which variant will depend on where you live. Here in USA it sounds like the 820 will be the offering. Almost certainly, the 820 version will have far greater developer support. Even if the Exynos outperforms the 820, it will probably be close enough that a well done ROM could make up the difference.
I did read that in Europe we will have the exynos version. I saw on many forums of Samsung devices that exynos variants have as much custom roms as SD variants... The note 4 exynos, the s6, the s4... etc

Surely this is not true. The s6 doesn't have any fully functional aosp roms does it?

No. Very limited.
