Hi. Is that phone same like Galaxy S2 and one difference is that this phone are T-Mobile? Or it has 1.5 dual core processor not like Galaxy S2 with 1.2 dual core?
there are multiple model numbers for S2. This is http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_ii_t989-4129.php . You can look up the specs of the other S2's on that site
To answer your questions, no they're not the quite the same. The main differences are the processors and GPUs. Also screen size (S2 = 4.3, T-Mobile S2 = 4.52)

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.
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...
Hi,
I'm in the UK and wondering which models support Dual Sim Card and have the Exynos 8890 Processor?
N930fd
That's what I thought but after having a look at - https://www.venturedirect.co.uk/pro...=cpc&utm_source=googlepla&variant=26928104327
If you look at the specs - "Dual-core 2.15 GHz Kryo & dual-core 1.6 GHz Kryo Quad-core 2.3 GHz + quad-core 1.6 GHz"
That's a snapdragon 820 I need the Exynos 8890
is only the US variant used the snapdragon as far as I know, so I would assume if it is a UK phone it should be Exynos.
But is there a dual sim version of the exynos 8890?
The dual SIM Note 7 is called Note 7 Duos (N930FD) it only comes in Exynos 8890.
Hello,
I wonder if anyone have experience in buying Galaxy with Snapdragon inside the EU?
I just saw Galaxy S10 Snapdragon variand is WAY better than Exynos in leaked AnTuTu benchmarks and its also 7nm instead of Exynos 8nm...Bad..
So I'm planning on trying to get Snapdragon in Europe...
Any suggestions?
Thank you
Exactly what I'm looking for. Actually I have Galaxy S9 Exynos in Europe and all it's working really fine, really. But sometimes I think the phone could run a bit faster with many apps, like my Sony XZ2 Compact did with Snapdragon 845, so I know Snapdragon version is faster for S9 and I would move to that one.
Can someone tell me if there are any issue having a Snapdragon variant in Europe? As for the mobile network I want know if it will be compatible, because actually S9 Exynos is the best phone I had for network reception.

Buying a phone just for benchmark scores is probably the dumbest thing you can do. No offense, but they mean absolutely nothing and don't simulate real world usage in any way. It's merely a bragging point for OEMs. Besides, basing your decision on scores for a phone that hasn't even been announced yet is an equally bad idea.
Buying a Snapdragon Samsung device would come with these disadvantages:
-Slower updates
-No VoLTE
-No WiFi calling
-No 4G+/LTE-A (depends on region and carrier)
-No Samsung Pay
-No warranty or after sales support in your country
If you want to play games, especially demanding games, stay away from Eyxnos 8920. It comes with a Mali G76 which is as powerful as the 2 years ago's Adreno 530, (Snapdragon 820).
The US version of the Galaxy s10 series comes with the Snapdragon 855 7nm chipset with an Adreno 640 GPU. Thats why Snapdragon is destroying Exynos in all those benchmarks.
So unless you refuse to live in the 2000s and use your phone only to... "call people", follow the benchmarks, and stay away from Samsung EU.
Any experience with VOLTE and LTE Bands Carrier Aggregation using Snapdragon version in EU?
