Exynos or Qualcomm?

I just read this article on tmobile note 2 having Qualcomm 9215M chipset? I'm not sure if that's the processor? I thought note 2 comes with Exynos? I'm not sure if tmobile made a mistake but this is what they stated...
“The Galaxy Note II features a Qualcomm 9215M chipset which provides the hardware capability to support both HSPA+42 and LTE. T-Mobile plans to reach more than 200 million Americans with LTE by the end of 2013. The Galaxy Note II will not automatically access T-Mobile’s LTE network. We will share more information on how and when the Galaxy Note II will support T-Mobile’s upcoming LTE network when the network is available.”

That's just the cell radio. The processing chipset is the Exynos 4412, 1.6Ghz Quad Core.

Ohh thanks for clarifying that for me! Phew, that's a huge relief.

Why? I would rather have the Snapdragon S4 Pro Quad than the Exynos.

That's right. The S4 Quad has a newer architecture so it's the better performer when it comes to a faster CPU and a more powerful GPU.

As far as my understanding goes, all S models are Exynos for now.
Pro line is Snapdragon.

I think only certain US Carriers use the Snapdragon chip Tab S LTE.

this chipset exynos 5420 is 3g in general no 4g lte .this is new 5420 with lte included or lte has dedicated chipset ?
becuase my note 3 n900 exynos 5420 support only 3g freq. but 5420 in this tablet support 4g let
if use another chipset just for lte power consumption is too much more than 3g

as i know, the tab S model use intel chip to support 4g

I have not (yet) read on any Samsung site of any Tab S using Snapdragon. To avoid any future confusion, I suggest to forget the other sites, and go straight to the source themselves (Samsung) .....

I wish the moderators would fix this forum. It lists the Snapdragon 800 SoC in the tech spec details(above the individual forums)

Maybe they are oblivious to it and need to be informed. You could contact them and ask.

Gsmarena is one of these sites

The mods know about the Snapdragon issue. Because Snapdragon is offered in some limited markets they say it should remain. I don't agree as the vast majority of these devices are Exynos. It is misleading but they won't change it.

I could only suggest that they need to " amend " the description, not " omit ". Just add Exynos to it, that's all. Or go the " hard " way and have separate forums same as other devices .... End of confusion

I thought AT&T were getting the snapdragon LTE models. May be wrong though.

I wish there was a US model that had a snapdragon, I've been looking all over for one to no avail.

Samsung.com doesn't list any Qualcomm specs for the T700/T705/T800, says they're all Exynos™ 5 Octa (1.9Ghz Quadcore + 1.3 Ghz Quadcore).
The only possible Tab S with a Snapdragon is the T805.
Does anybody on this forum have a Snapdragon Tab S?

I just ordered the Sprint variant of the Tab S 10.5 (SPHT807TAB) yesterday, and it uses the Snapdragon 800 (MSM8974). Unsure if the other carriers have/will release it.

So the T807 is the Snapdragon model.
How's the performance?

It shipped out today, so I most likely won't know until Monday or Tuesday. But I'd imagine the performance will be just like my Note 3 since it's the same SoC and memory.

Yes, please keep us informed.
I picked up the WIFI version a few days ago after seeing it posted here that BB was discounting the 32GB. I am not noticing any significant lags other than within certain apps that I have also noticed it my Note 8. I would be torn over which to choose, the Snapdragon/Sprint or the 32GB version.
Incidentally, if you chose the the monthly option @ $27 (total $650) , did it also include the cellular plan for 2 years or was that additional? (Update:Never mind, found the answer on the Sprint website)

My Tab S from sprint will be here shortly. I will post back about its performance. I am trying to find out if there is a root method that works for this model.

So far, even with the crap-bloatware Samsung/Sprint like to pile on, and the memory-monster-TouchWiz; this tablet is performing quite well. The Snapdragon definitely makes up for all of the aforementioned annoyances. Certainly more responsive and 'snappy' than the Exynos variant that I've messed around with. I can't wait to see how fast this is going to be running once we have root and custom kernels.
I do find it odd that they went back to the old USB 2.0 port vs the duel 3.0 port though; I get great charge times with my Note 3 using that.

Confused on processor

I have an SM-T705, bought in the UK through Ecell on Ebay. I was under the impression that the LTE variant comes with the Snapdragon 800 and not the Exynos. In CpuZ its telling me i have the Exynos Octa core and in Antutu, does this sound right.

Yes. Also LTE variant has the Exynos.

I think its the t805 only comes with snapdragon

So far all the (European) devices have the Exynos, T805 as well. Maybe there are some around with snapdragon in Asia or US , who nows.

Excellent, i was going mad thinking something had changed when i'd flashed a rom or installed some Xposed module, lol.

[q] galaxy tab s 8.4 lte cpu

HI,
I purchased a galaxy tab S 8.4 with LTE capabilities.
upon checking my CPU, all benchmarking tools pointed out that my CPU is a samsung exynos 5420 1.9ghz!
if I am not mistaken, this is the CPU of the WIFI only version.
I am suppose to get a Snapdragon 800 2.3 GHZ with my LTE version.
can anyone clarify on this? should I return it to the store and have them replace my unit with an appropriate specification?
thanks!

This had been answered many times. ...
I'll answer again. Your eyes don't lie.
At the moment, all international SGT-S 8.4 and 10.5 WIFI and LTE devices use the same Exynos processor + Mali GPU.
I have not yet seen any official Samsung website stating otherwise.
There may be some USA "carrier variant" using Snapdragon + Adreno though, but not seen any user post confirming device in hand.

thank you for the explanation... the sales guy told me it was a 2.3 snapdragon. went back to the store and demanded a refund.. got a discount instead so still win...

[Q] CPU question

Hello, I just bought a Tab S 10.5 LTE version. I found out only now that the CPU varies between models, so now I wonder, will mine come with a Snapdragon or an Exynos?
It wasn't written on the description.

Use an app called cpuz to find out what chipset you have and everything about your device.

Yeah I will. But the thing is it will arrive in 3-4 days so the doubt is strong
I was just wondering whether 100% of LTE versions have the snapdragon.

If you bought LTE version, it will be snapdragon 100%. Exynos doesnt have LTE support.

Snapdragons is exclusive to u.s carriers

wrong, here in Sweden both WiFi and LTE uses Exynos 5420, with LTE support thanks to the Intel LTE chip.

All right thanks. That's a bummer :|

From what I've read the CDMA US carriers (vzw + Sprint) have snapdragons, the others have exynos.
