hi. i have been looking out for this device as im really interested. made some threads here as well. and here is my findings for the new comers or for people interested but confused about the Chipset variants.
EXYNOS variants.
All Tab S, 10.5 and 8.4 have Exynos variants, Be it Wi-Fi only or 3G only or LTE.
3G variants have Data connectivity but only 3G (duh...) LTE means 4G LTE but NON-US Lte bands.
Exynos, did not have data modem in it and thats why previously we only saw this chipset in the wifi only models for samsung tabs.
now they have introduced an Intel/Broadcomm Modem in this chipset and hence the 2or3Grams difference in weight of 3G and wifi model.
u will find, both 32Gb and 16 Gb variants with this chipset so beware!
SNAPDRAGON variants:
there is NO 16Gb snapdragon variant. simple. untill u get the Sprint US model.
there is NO wifi only model with this chipset. u only get the LTE and US LTE model.
this would be only 32Gb model and it would state that on the box, or it would only be any carrier model
my advise, before buying the tab, if u really interested in getting the Snapdragon one, DO CONFIRM IT FROM THE BOX AND SELLER! be it from some store or from some individual selling it.
hope i helped a little
I have Snapdragon version and it is 16GB.
I bought it in Slovakia (Orange)

I've been meaning to purchase this tablet so I've been looking at the LTE variant.
I looked it up online on my local Samsung site (Malaysia) and I found out it has the Exynos chipset but with LTE. Are there two LTE variants or it's an error on sites like GSMArena? I also went to a physical store and looked at the retail box, on the back it clearly says "1.9 GHz Quad core + 1.3 GHz Quad core". The model number is SM-T705 which has the Snapdragon chipset according to most sites I go to.
EDIT: I went on the Samsung UK site and even the 4G variant sold there has the Exynos chip.

The T705 is an Exynos 5 SoC with Intel LTE Modem.
There is not currently a Qualcomm based Tab S model on the market, and it's unlikely that a Snapdragon version will be released.
Thanks.
I just bought it, in Bronze.
Good Evening to all
I've got a question, is it possible to get a Tab S 10.5 with the Snapdragon 800? I searched a lot but I can't find it. I live in Europe so the LTE Version is also power by the Exynos processor...but I want the Snapdragon with LTE. Where can I import it? Please help me
:fingers-crossed:
SD800 is exclusive to U.S. operators only as Exynos radio chip isn't supporting all U.S. network bands.

Even if you get the SD version, it will have LTE bands that don't work in your country - You're screwed.
Hello everyone,
I am on T-Mobile in the USA. I have an LG G4 currently which I am looking to replace, probably with a 7x. I know the Int'l version has 4GB of RAM, while the USA model only has 3GB, but the USA model would have all the correct bands for T-Mobile USA. Does anyone have any usage experience yet with the USA model and could tell me if the RAM difference is noticable or if the extra GB RAM is worth not having true 4g LTE bands here in California? My previous LG G4 was an Int'l version and could get HSPA, but not the LTE 4g. I can get LTE 4g on this LG now but the phone itself is so slow I'm not sure I am able to appreciate the speed that is available to me. Thanks for any advice.

It's pretty cheap so, if you're going to use it for only scrolling through social media or web browsing then this phone is fine. FHD+ Screen with minimal lag for 199, it's pretty hard to beat.

I just got the phone yesterday and I live in California as well and have T-mobile.It works really welly.I don't think the ram would be much of a difference,great mid-range budget phone in my honest opinion
Does the 7x support VOLTE and wifi calling work on Tmobile. Thanks
Some reported that volte work on T-Mobile

The international version doesn't have cellular radios that support T Mobile or AT&T 4G FDD bands. If you buy an the international version, you'll be limited to slower 3G speeds when using cellular data and possibly less network connectivity. There's no formal support for Volte.
Before buying an unlocked phone to use on a US GSM network, you need to research the 4G FDD radio bands used by the carrier and make sure the phone you want supports those FDD radio bands. (Verizon users, even when Verizon abandons CDMA in 2019, you won't be able to go out and buy any phone with the correct FDD bands and that supports VoLTE to use on their network. Verizon has made it clear that it will only provision phones that it has tested and certified.) Here's a link with US and Canadian carrier bands. https://www.signalbooster.com/pages/...-in-usa-canada
Question is the same as the title, are there other users on XDA who have considered upgrading or buying the Snapdragon Dual Sim Note 10+ over the N975F?. I am aware of the general uniqueness of the Hong Kong/Latin American/Brazilian Snapdragon devices as they have unlocked bootloaders compared to their US and Canadian counterparts. I've been doing research on these phones ever since I knew of the existence of the HK Note 8.
Development wise these N9xx0 devices don't see much development due to the rarity/relative uniqueness of these versions, but I was curious if anyone was checking for this to use instead of the Exynos Note 10+ in the US, Canada, UK, Australia and the rest of the world. I'm particularly interested in hearing from people on AT&T, T-Mobile and their respective MVNOs as I am considering getting this one to use on MetroPCS. In terms of bands I wonder if it will work out of the box similar to a user who had his Hong Kong S10+ work on T-Mobile with Wi-Fi calling/VoLTE even with the TGY CSC.
If they have an oem Bootloader Unlock like the S10's did I will definitely be getting that model over the F. There is still a shocking distance between the two chips in benchmarks, the snapdragon versions performing 20% better than the exynos versions. I will hold out for some extended use testing to come out, but it seems unlikely to change the data much. I need as much performance as I can get from my chip, and I don't really need custom roms to achieve a smooth workflow or customized experience.

BTW I don't worry much about bands with any of the new flagships coming out. You can verify on frequency checker, but most phones these days come with the same modems in all models. My last phone was a Chinese model Mate 20 X and it had no problem with international roaming on Google fi and got 4g on any chip I threw at it.
Idont know where you plan to use your device, but in many forums of other samsung devices, people getting devices from other countries, have sometimes problems regarding bands, carrier services, software updates, and most important no way to claim warranty
Mainland China = SG chip / 5G / 256gb / dual sim / limited bands
Hong Kong = SG chip / LTE only / 512gb / dual sim / limited bands
US unlocked = SG chip / LTE only / 512gb / single sim / full bands
In my case, I want dual sim but HK version doesn’t have LTE 66 and 71 which T-Mobile uses. So I am still debating.

I'm using N975F and it has dual sim
What variant should you buy if you want to root with att and has the Snapdragon processor? Bands would also have to work for signal

Anyone? Is it the f or the DS variant? Or maybe b?
I'm not positive but usually you need Exynos processor to root. That means you'll be the UK or International variant which is usually the F.
It's very unlikely there will be root for the Snapdragon processor if it's carrier unlocked, much less likely if it is at&t flavored. Those were the good old days.
I was planing on getting the note 10 5g before this phone and the "better" one was the China version... They had snapdragon devices rooted in those threads
