Snapdragon vs Exynos | Which one should I get? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone
Im going to buy a Note 4 but Which one should I get?
Which one is better at; gaming, battery life and developer friendly? (Is there a prefered model number in terms of rom support?)I really need to know becuase Im keeping it for at least one year.
And btw is there any news about android 7.0 for Note 4?
Thanks

The only reason I see to get the Snapdragon variant is if you wanna use AOSP based ROMs. Exynos all the way.
Nougat? No way mate.

Depends on how your usage is , if you use your device for office purpose , then EXYNOS is what I advice .
Exynos 5433 is 64 bit and snapdragon 805 is 32 bit .
Exynos is octacore and big.LITTLE's architecture utilises the two quad core processor very efficiently, the battery is not bad on any variant comparitively.
Snapdragon is better in terms of development.
As snapdragon is open source , it gets more support from developers .
If you put heavy tasks on your note 4 , then EXYNOS will handle it very well without any lag.
On the other hand snapdragon is well supported by gaming softwares like gameloft . So in Gpu related tasks , snapdragon will perform better.
If you will be using it for a year , then snapdragon is better cause custom roms are well supported on it.
CM14 :Nougat is already in alpha stage .
Final verdict:
Snapdragon : if you are an avid gamer and also because it is well supported by developers .
Exynos :because it performs heavy tasks without any lag at all.
Finally its your choice...
For snapdragon , n910g or n910f is preferable , mostly look for n910f . Both have same development support.
For exynos, i dint know ,look for the one with unlocked bootloader.

Good informational post. :good:
I've seen many people on this forums saying that SD is worse in gaming, battery and custom roms, which is untrue.

SD will get it definitely, as for exynos I doubt and even if it gets cm14 , it won't be stable.
Depends on the developers .

Exynos or Snapdragon? Which is better?

Hai guys,
I want to buy Samsung GALAXY Note 3. Im coming from S3 (with Exynos processor). I want to know which version is better? Exynos or Snapdragon? Samsung sellers say that Exynos is much better than Snapdragon, but from all other medias, such as internet and youtube, say Snapdragon is better. So im confused.. Please tell me the truth. Hope you will help me...
Thanks

Buy the snapdragon one .
If u love custom roms and rooting stuff which I think you love ......
Otherwise you would be well off with either of them..

Thanks mate. How about the performance? Incase of laggy, or something like problems..?
Haven't had a Exynos device, but never had a problem with Snapdragon. Awesome processors.

Performance is smooth. Apps load up quick... Ram usage about 1.7 GB out of 2.3 GB even in the heavy load scenario..... Even the mighty touchwiz can't slow it down ....
Personally I have the Exynos one and I am crying because it has no custom rom...:crying:
What i've read, does Snapdragon version have some fast charging that Exynos doesn't, so you'll charge your phone a lot faster? At least my Snapdragon device really charges very fast with stock charger. Also what i've seen, Exynos development is much slower than Snapdragon on Sammy's phones / tablets.
And again, what I have read from the web, Exynos devices have had problems that Snapdragon doesnt, just can't name any of them. Lol.
[OT] Same thing with Note Pro 12.2 (which is basically Note 3 but bigger in size, or is it?). Snapdragon owners have had no problems while Exynos owners have some kind of BSOD, heating problems, screen problems and lags while gaming. [/OT]
So I'll never buy an Exynos one, but thats just me

Thank you guys. From all of your reviews, I'm deciding to buy a Snapdragon one

Going to buy it, need clarification

I am going to buy Note 4 soon but before I make final decision I must to know:
Camera in both versions - Exynos and Snapdragon are the same, right?
Battery life is marginally better on Exynos, right?
Exynos means less community support - example problem of getting CyanogenMod. But does it mean I cannot install any other ROM? Or I can't only those without TouchWiz? To be honest I always install ROMS based on TouchWiz, those without, example Cyanogen are crap for me.

1-Right.
2- Not really... if you live in the US the the SD 805 is better any where else is the same (Because of the different radios) but I recommend the Exynos.
3- Nope! they are pretty much the same in this case.

Exynos better because of
1- the Wolfson DAC built-in a dedicated audio chip that makes a huge difference in audio output and it's compatible with iRig devices if you want to record instruments on your Note and it's the first and the only Android phone that supports it.
2- 64-bit capability the 5433 has Arm cortex A53/A57 cores so that is pretty damn better than the old a15/a17 (I think) Don't forget that the Exynos is built on the "new" 20nm process that is very powerful and power efficient.
3-If you care about benchmarks the Exynos destroy the SD 805 44000 vs 55000 on geekbench
That's from a personal experience I own a Exynos-powered Note 4 and I'm in love with it!

If you want to use the Gear VR - only Snapdragon runs smooth because of the better GPU
Not my oppinion but an official statement
go for exynos..this time snapdragon batter life is not good and exnos is good all the way even in benchmark
Unfortunately in States we dont have much choice. Only Snapdragon phones fully support available LTE bands.

Search Bar on your right will do the job, www.google.com, www.youtube.com, cheers:fingers-crossed:
dude , if you can help me then answer , if not then please be silent
Not an easy answer sadly.
If your a rom flasher go with the snapdragon as it seems to be easier to work with in that way and there are more Roms. I guess it's more of a known quantity in the 805 and a good solid common cpu. Likely the most popular cpu is the 805.
Exynos from what I've seen has better benchmark scores (I have C variant and have been close to 60k) better ram performance and 8 core so that can help. Also the Exynos cpu has the possibility to unlock 64bit, far as I know this will never be possible on the sd805.
Exynos also has incoming CM12.1 which should open up the rom gates to all AOSP and help catch up the snapdragon versions in that area.
I'm gonna say go for the Exynos it has a lot of potential and overall performance very solid.
But I'm a bit biased as I own that device.
Hope that helps you bro

910F , better ROMs, better compatibility and more widely used.
The exynos may have its advantages on paper but in real usage its down to what you can use and how it feels.
If it were me I'd get what I'd already have which is the 910F.
If I were buying a new phone now. It'd probably be the HTC M9.

Sorry but I have to agree, please use the search function and be respectful of other users. There are already multiple threads like this one, tbh do what the above person has suggested and get the M9 so we will have one less arrogant rude person in this section, cheers!

Choosing between snapdragon & exynos version

Hey everyone. In a matter of days im going to buy my new galaxy s7 edge. Reading online articles about they differences i became confused on my choice. My main concern is the difference in GPU (its reported that snapdragon performed 30% better ) . is there any difference when it comes to rooting and customizability?
Can you give your opinion on their differences and what choice do you suggest? Thanks in advice
P.s..: i hope this isnt a duplicate
I have Exynos version. Played asphalt 8 for a while, no lag what so ever, it barely got warm. Yhat gpu difference is overrated, atleast until vulkan API gets implemented. Wouldnt exchange mine for anything
If you can buy the Exynos variant and it's compatible with your network, I don't see why you'd even think about the Snapdragon.
Why?

Snapdragon cannot be rooted.
Snapdragon variant is LOCKED - you cannot root. If you want root - buy the Exynos version
thanks. thats what i was looking for

Yeah, I'd recommend the Exynos variant too. As it much more stable than the Snapdragon variant.

It's not that the Snapdragon 805 doesn't perform as well as the Exynos 5433 SOC. They both are excellent performing SOCs. It's just that the Snapdragon 805 has a bad habit of overheating very easily, which is a common problem among Qualcomm's Snapdragon series of SOCs.

OK thanks guys but is real that adreno is better than mali gpu in gaming? Does the exynos lag with heavy games? And what about rom support? Do u think the exynos will ever get a stable nougat with working fingerprint and irblaster?
go snapdragon if you gonna treat the phone as a glorified psp.. Go Exynos if you want cpu power with economy.. cant get it all...

I've been happily using the Snapdragon 805 variant since launch week and it runs just fine. Battery is great, I get around 6.5h SOT if I do try push it (usually going to bed by the time it hits 4h).
Both variants are great, and you should have a similar experience on both on Android 6.0.1.

Exynos plays games like iPhone. See YouTube videos of Real Racing 3 & Nova 3 on N4 Exynos, N4 Spapdragon and then iPhone 6s.
That'll show you the difference right there.
My Exynos is super smooth and does not overheat ever + gets 7 hour screen on time
What more can you ask for?

The Mali T-760MP6 is a excellent GPU and will run any game you throw it's way like nothing. While the Adreno maybe slightly better. The Mali T-760 isn't a slouch in the gaming department either. I use my N910C for gaming all the time and I can literally play any game I want on it. Even République, which is quite a heavy 3D intensive game and my N910C runs it like it was nothing!

ROM Support seems good.
Check out the Exynos Development Section
Snapdragon for gaming, media, and vr. Exynos for multitasking and background processing. From what I've read, both are fairly comparable but exynos may have better chance of seeing nougat update since it's more widely used internationally.
Actually, I have used both of them.
The Exynos wins, at least in terms of a battery life (+30 min of SoT compared to the SnapDragon) and earbuds sound quality. Moreover, it heats up less than the Snap.
the n910c seems to be better in every aspect
Guys I had the snapdragon variant and I just got the exynos model now... Huge difference! The exynos hands down wins! By far better...

Lol I have 2 phone right now i i say that exinos in way back after snapdragon. Snap is better in every way. More powerfull cpu, ram., all test win snapdragon
Actually if you care about performance, go with snapdragon, but if you use it as daily phone and you concern about battery life, heating problem then exynos. BTW, exynos on galaxy note 4 has 64 bit processor, which means, it is a newer version of processor!!
