S9 - Snapdragon or Exynos? - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
i've got a SM-G960FD, which means, it's the exynos variant.
I'm thinking about switching to the Snapdragon G9600 one, which has better GCAM (with night sight) support - this is right, mh?
Which version do you guys think is better in general? Also custom-rom-wise?

Development for the s9/s9+

Hi,
I was thinking about getting the s9+ but I noticed that there are not many roms for the phone, is there any reason for that?

So the exynos model is not locked?
I was thinking about getting the sd845 model because the performance appeared better, but if it's a cumbersome model to work with and the exynos is better for development. Then maybe one should aim for that model instead.
Wouldnt go for a Samsung phone if you want great custom rom support. Its split between exynos and snapdragon AND you will have to stay with samsung experience roms if you want to have a camera that is not garbage.
Exynos battery isn't as good as snapdragon

The Note 8 because the S9 with the 9810 performs like a slightly better Exynos 8895 with worse efficiency. Although the Note 8 has no project treble. If you get the Note 8 you would have to rely on Lineage.
Read this article about the Exynos 9810 and the s9:
https://www.anandtech.com/show/12520/the-galaxy-s9-review/8
I would say import the G9600 which is the the Snapdragon s9 which has a boot loader which can be unlocked although the development is dead but at least you can get TWRP and flash a GSI and get project treble.
Or get the Exynos s9+ bigger battery and it performs like a slightly better Note 8 with about the same battery life/SOT.
I would stay far away from the regular s9 because a lot of people are reporting bad battery life because of the Exynos 9810. Either pay a bit more and get the s9+ with the Exy 9810 or get the Note 8 and rely on Lineage. Btw I have the s9+ Exynos.
Thanks ??? awesome details!!! Thanks a lot for all this informations.
All plus variant are too expensive here.
Note 8 has no stereo speaker too :/
I found a MI mix2s for 350$ I think I'll go with this.

You can certainly try testing the Camera Ports for Exynos Galaxy S7/ Edge, the same Exynos processor, so I'm pretty sure it's going to work, if it doesn't, try changing settings, or downloading other Exynos versions of GCam from Celso Azevedo.
Nexus 6 also

Also please consider making a port for Nexus 6 which has 32bit architecture n is missing the list unfortunately.

Pubg on Exynos version?

I own a note 8 exynos and to be frank pubgm on it sucks big time, even though the phone was a flagship of its generation. I am just wondering if its worth upgrading to note 10+. I love the pen features but would not upgrade unless the gaming (esp. pubg) is a smooth experience.
What is the fps note 10+ owners are getting on pubg m? And on what graphic settings?

just downloaded it, it chose the highest settings by default and ran flawlessly...
No issues there mate. (10+ 5G Australian Exynos model.)

Thanks. What about people using the non 5G version (I assume the 5G Exynos chipset is different from the 4G one).

I think only Modem is different between 5G and LTE variants of Exynos 9825 SOC and so performance of GPU should be similar between two if not same.

This is correct. Same GPU and RAM count, its just the antenna and modem that's different. (oh and it costs a lot more )
I know this is an exynos thread but pubg on Snapdragon is pretty good. Loads faster than note 9, rarely any lag wifi or 4g. In about 30 - 50 mins of game play lose about 10% battery.
Not bad I guess.
Carrier locked 256gb 10+ model
Note 10 snapdragon 855
Don't get the exynos version.. Extreme fps option is not there unless u put graphic on lower option.. If u want it for gaming get an iPhone or snapdragon

Question Working Google Camera (GCam) on Samsung S21 FE 5G Snapdragon?

Hi,
Did anyone manage to find a WORKING version of Google Camera aka GCam for Samsung S21 FE 5G?
This is the Snapdragon variant so this should be easy! Yet, all the versions I have found so far are either not working at all OR (this part is really weird) the viewfinder and the whole app freezes after 3 seconds.
So it is not enough to just launch it to claim its working (many of the clickbaity news articles seem to do that) because it might work for 2 seconds then stop.
I also need a config file. Yes this is Snapdragon 888 version. I am aware that there is an exynos version too,but here in Europe we have snapdragon just like we did with s20 fe.
Thread closed as the topic already exists here.
