Hi,
Not wanting to start a flame war.....
Has anybody got both the Snap dragon & the Exynos Note 4.
I recently got the Exynos & was thinking do I need the SD version. Was about to sell the SD but really not sure if that's a good idea. Should I keep both, Do I need both?
Does anyone else have both versions?
Thoughts?

keep the Exynos, sell the snapdragon.
keep both , you can do lots of experiment with those
Normally, snapdragon variants has more development. But this time it seems like exynos has more development than SD. Both are good. So if you are a flashaholic, just visit the both exynos and SD development pages and make your choice. Personally, i have exynos one and i'm really pleased with it..

Thanks for that.
I did root n flash the SD version but really didn't find it a revelation.
I have now sold on the SD version.
I hunted down the Exynos version for the Wolfson dac. So happy for now with the Note 4 on 5.1.1.
Maybe the Note 5 next.......

Many Note 5 roms are coming, so you may not need to buy note 5 after all And also, 5.1.1 update improved n4 a lot, it's much faster and battery efficient now..

Hey,
I am sure this has been discussed many times here but i just want to know if i have a choice to buy either of these versions which one should i go for if i want to install custom roms? I mean devs release more custom rom's for the exynos version correct?
Thanks
There has always tended to be more developers releasing customs roms for the snapdragon version. The general consensus that if one wants to use customs roms and kernels etc then the best choice would be to go for the snapdragon version. Again there are developers who release exynos custom roms and kernels so don't think it will be the end to modding you note 4 if you go for the exynos version.
I am in the same situation and had a snapdragon note 4 but just felt it was laggy maybe i am finding this more of a problem due to being a iPhone user for years. I won't go to why i have not taken to the iPhone 6/plus lol.
The exynos version has been winning benchmarks over the snapdragon but what made me ultimately go for the exynos version was that it beat the iPhone 6 plus in a head to head that is incredible in my books. Choice is yours......

please use the search functionto find your answers as this has been asked many times and there is a long thread with questions and answers like this
Hi guys
Those who have now note 4 which one should I choose
Snapdragon? Or Exynos?
And I want to buy the gear vr
Which one is better with it
The reviews and numbers say that Xenos is better
But developers say that snapdragon is better usually
And is the phone easy to root and deal with?!
And is there some kind of problems with it like every samsung phone that has some kind of common problems?!
Can you guys help me?!
And do you recommend note 4 or should I go with something else?
Thank you
You just murdered the name Exynos...
ON Topic: Choose whatever you like and whatever version is available in your country.
Thread cleaned. Back on topic please.
So back again, I'm asking about the processor which you guys recommend
Exynos or Snapdragon?
i'm willing to use gear VR
And willing to root and use custom ROMs
So I need the best
And if you guys see a common issue with this phone?
And finally, if you guys recommend another phone like Sony Xperia z3!!
thank you in advance
No bother anymore
Hello and welcome.
No problems has arisen since I have had my SGN4. The back cover could line up better I suppose but you can't notice and the screen could have a little less gap around the edges, but once again can't notice.
If you prefer a good DAC, go for the Exynos based device. That's about the best advice I personally can give but here is a LINK with some testing between the two.
I have the Snapdragon version and it's fantastic.

hi thanks for your help
I have read a lot of reviews, but you know a lot of numbers may be good or even great but users and developers may have another opinion, especially in the Exynos and snapdragon subject there was a lot of arguing about how good each of the two, especially I wanna use gear vr and you know about the overheat and the lagging also about the next 64bit and which the exynos deliver better than snapdragon 805!!
That's why I'm searching for the best user experience and the developers opinion too to not stick with a limited number of roms with the lack of support
Thank you, your help is appreciated
only you can decide for yourself, but for me, I chose the snappydragon, better support and more roms here on xda.
First check if the VR is compatible with Exynos, last time I checked (Dec-Jan'ish) it was not supported. Snapdragon has always got the most devs and options because its the most widely used, that's the reason I chose Snapdragon when I had this choice to make.
Devs probably won't reply to this thread either, they are far too busy with real life stuff and development.
The 64bit arguement is not relevant at this stage either, just like it wasn't for PC's for a while.

Oh a shocking info I didn't meet when searching for gear vr!!!!
It works only with snapdragon!!!!
A fast search that says it will work with exynos with the new update android 5.1!!!
But I trust better the one it works with already so I think I will go with snapdragon
And I know developers are busy to answer such thread, but the more important than developers is you guys the people that own the handset and deal with the developers
Thank you again
Enjoy your devices

Most roms are for the snapdragon but the exynos has a faster processor so it's all up too your needs.
is it true that games work more smoothly in snapdragon than exynos?
I own a N910C malaysian carrier, still running kitkat since i did not get lollipop. I found something interesting stating that if you are not on the list then you won't get Marshmallow. Including the link. http://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-is-working-on-marshmallow-for-these-devices-648189/
How much of this is true? I am seriously consider to get Iphone 6s now after reading this ?

I recently read this.
I think Marshmallow 'll be available for Note 4 soon.
Otherwise , Rooting
Read this on facebook... Guess there's no hope for 64bit rom, i just hate it why samsung values SOD 32 bit more than Exynos 5 64 bit ?

They are great.?
Hi all
There are so many models. My reasearch suggests that all are the same hardware. So if i get a canadian model 950w8 i should be able to flash anything. Is that true? Or should i consoder paying more for international version 950f?
Thanks for your input

W is Snapdragon, which I have, and you can't flash any ROMs. Get an f version without a locked bootloader
Thanks for saving me! I completely thought w8 was not snapdragon! Much appreciated.

No problem! The s7 edge I had was Exynos which had tons of development. Not being able to root is strange for me.
Also have exynos (ok, where I live there is only exynos) but I dont regret to not buying the snapdragon. I also think the exynos has better battery life than snapdragon
