New Galaxy S II Models

I've read that there could possibly be a 1.4GHz S II, an NFC S II and a Tegra 2 S II. If there's gonna be a load of other models could this hamper external development for the current S II? If a newer version is released for the US then i guess all development will be on that version and hardware differences could mean incompatibility with the current model. What do you think? Here's a link to an article on the rumoured 1.4GHz S II.
http://www.gsmarena.com/the_galaxy_s_ii_cpu_might_be_boosted_up_to_14ghz-news-2824.php

There are already Tegra 2 Models with a lesser quality screen.
NFC models were announced from the very beginning but no one has yet to see one, they are believed to be thicker. We have reason to believe that the NFC chips are actually present in all of our phones but are software disabled.
As for the 1.4ghz model, this is just pure rumour and speculation based on the industry expects samsung to do something to compete with the iphone 5. If the rumours turn out to be true then all they need is a firmware update to overclock our phones, it won't be a whole new model, more a new batch with latest firmware. I don't expect there to be a 1.4 model though, its not needed.

Can this thread be closed by a moderator as there is already a thread with the same subject matter as this one.

I hope that's the case. I can't find in depth details about the Tegra 2 model just speculation. Do you know the model number?

There's no Tegra 2 yet, and probably won't be at all.

Edit: Didn't go on the link because it takes too long on 3g.

I have read this a couple of times but have yet to see concrete evidence of a single Tegra 2 GS2.

The age old LCD screen quality is probably HIGHER than unproven sAmoled+. The screen technology is different, and screen contrast and saturation are "subpar" comparing to SAmoled+.

[Q] Which One to Buy ? Dev will support ?

Obviously we are all waiting for the Note 4, yet it's Pricey.
Now comes the hard question.
Which one to buy ? and
Which will the Dev support ? (Future Proofing)
N910C or N910S
Snapdragon over Exynos
We all saw it in the S4 between the 9505 and 9500 so I don't want to get stuck in the same loop.
Please advise at the earliest since all the articles on the Web refer to Chip variants and differences yet no one has a solid answer to which will be supported and would be considered as a real investment. I hear the Exynos is benchmarked with 40K therefore exceeding our favorite Snapdragon chip !?
That makes it even worse to decide

International version is snapdragon if u care about custom stuff go for it.

Kinda. There's now multiple international versions and some are Exynos (some of Europe, Aus, NZ, HK and Korea)

I think the exynos version(s) this time around may prove to be a bit more popular because the believe (uncertain) that the 5433 will run 64bit (future proofing).

Tough to say, All of the USA market will have snapdragon, as will many other countries. That means there will be a greater percentage of "market share" of the S805 version with a better chance of having dev support on it.

Snapdragon

This is a million dollar question right here...

u planning on doing any dev work on this thing, or just gonna enjoy it?
I can't decide between the white or the black myself; I'd get the gold one just to be different, but, it wont be out for awhile, so dont want to wait for it..

As soon as i have the files i plan on working on recovery and if I get bored enough maybe more.

hahaha that's so true. Snap will have better dev support and GPU while the exynos MIGHT be 64bit enabled anytime soon and is definitely faster, but still not sure of how faster in daily use. Now it's up to you and wait for more information to come. For now, that's about it.

No such luck I have sprint service. Sides having a locked Note 4 wouldnt be much fun or do me any good with trying for recovery

you give me far too much credit, i port recoveries and do minor things. bootloader exploits are beyond my scope of even understanding how many actually work.

The Exynos model should be faster, better on battery, and possibly offer 64-bit down the road. I'm going with that one.

Hey guys! Just got myself an S7 Edge yesterday and would like to root it, but I'm clueless when it comes to phones. I've rooted and debloated my Galaxy Tab S, but that's it. I just want to make sure I don't mess up this beauty.
Can anyone point me to the first step?

First be sure what kind edge you have snapdragon or exynox if you have exynox basically is easy but it's snapdragon has to work little bit more (sorry for my English)

The S7 Edge is powered by either a 2.15GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 or 2.3 GHz Exynos 8890 processor, depending on region, and comes with 4GB of RAM.
Qualcomm processors found by US carriers have locked bootloaders.
Exynos found in other countries (with some exception) are unlocked.
Rooting methods are totally different.

I'm not so much worried as I am just being cautious because I next to nothing of bootloader's and such. I've never done anything "advanced" with an Android phone. It's always been with wifi-only devices.

LG G6 with a Snapdragon 820!?!?

Bought my G6 off a shady shop in Hong Kong, it runs hot like 40-75c all the time.
I checked using AIDA64 and wtf
Also used device info, same thing says 820
It has a warranty but no returns so I'm comfused

Hmm, mine is showing 821 MSM8996 Pro. But mine is H870.

Hardware Version Rev 1.1, max 2150MH per Core, this looks really like a 820, loool.
Maybe they really used the older CPU Version? What's going with LG, I don't get it ?

And the rest of the features match?
You may have just bought a counterfeit..
Post other screens of aida app, for see with my results

A counterfeit would rather be based on a cheap MediaTek SoC and a display with 1080p or less.

It's a great phone, try to flash different firmware before selling, maybe just a bug in firmware.

Be this model is planned with this processor for this country, be it a model of pre-production, which seems to me possible considering the date of production inscribed on the stickers on the back of your g6 (march 2017

Your g6 is the korean version. The 64gb model is coming with sd820. The phone is legit. Trust me,there is no difference. In fact, i like your version better,due to higher storage capacity. Not to mention korean model already has oreo on tests and it will be the first to get it.
Smart phones, dumb people.

@kimitza is right, everything is OK, European/US versions have SD821, Korean ones have SD820. The difference is incredibly marginal to be honest. You won't feel it.
