I will buy a galaxy s7 edge next week, but for now in stores only the exynos version is available in my country. Is it a good soc? Or should I wait more for the snapdragon phone?
On my note 3 the exynos chip was considered pretty bad, on both performance and battery life.
Exynos = Better CPU, Battery drain mostly from radio cell.
Snapdragon = Better GPU. Battery drain mostly from Android system (not sure is it fix able by update. )
If you're that person that love installing AOSP ROM. Snapdragon is your choice.

I will definetly root, most likely on day one, but I doubt I will be using AOSP roms.
Gaming on a phone isn't for me as well, I have my iPad or ps4 for that.
So the exynos runs better for day to day tasks?
For day to day tasks, there's no difference
For me I would prefer SD, cuz the ROM, kernel and mod development is much much better and I'm a flashaholic but in Europe only the exynos is available. And I'm scared there won't be so much to flash\development...
Am I right? How was the ROMs, kernels ect. on s6 edge exynos? Will devs come support us?

According to tests i've seen, yes.
Thanks for the replies, I'm going with the exynos then and I will preorder it as well, so I can get that vr.

If your in Europe then it's not worth the hassle to get the snapdragon version IMO. That being said, the snapdragon has the better GPU, modem, higher single threaded performance, and more than likely a better ISP, DSP, etc and other blocks of the SOC. The exynos will have better multithreaded performance, just due to the fact that it has 8 cores vs the snapdragons 4, even though per core the snapdragons are faster. Like others have said developement will be noticeably less on the exynos. You will still get custom Roms but I wouldn't expect cm or aosp within a year, or ever. In dqy to day performance I would expect the snapdragons 4 very fast cores to be more responsive than the 4 slow cores and 4 fast cores of the exynos, especially considering most of the normal ui is processed on the slow cores and has to migrate to the fast cores when it needs it.

What is your basis for these arguments? Seems like most people in this thread are just making stuff up without quoting any real-world tests. Even Anandtech stated that the SoCs are pretty much equal (as far as they currently know, and they have already written pretty extensively about both SoCs), and that efficiency is what is going to set them apart. I wouldn't draw any conclusions without actually reading a comprehensive comparison of the two.
I just pulled the trigger on an Exynos version, despite living in the U.S.
Reasons you might consider the Exynos over the SD820:
1) LTE Bands, the Exynos version has far more LTE Bands for use around the world. If you travel around a bit, then it makes a bit of sense to have a phone that can receive data, regardless of the network you're on.
2) Battery drain: it looks like both SoC's are plagued with one thing or another that saps battery life, but the SD820 has an alarming amount of drain from the Android system. It still has great SoT (screen on time), but it's still a worry nonetheless.
3) Carrier lock: If you find yourself on one network, then this shouldn't be an issue. But within the past 2 years, I have been on a AT&T, then a business T-Mobile line, then Google Fi, and now on an AT&T business line. If the phone locks to a carrier, then you might have to wait longer or pay to get it unlocked.. which can be a drag.
That being said, I'm sure the development for the SD820 version will be immense. However, I'm coming from a Nexus 6P, and feel like the stock S7E ROM performs so well, that I won't need to root or anything. Android has reached a level of smoothness that was not found on earlier versions, especially in tandem with TouchWiz of old (older Notes and S phones were laggy, really). So stock ROM with the ability to use Android Pay/Samsung Pay will be nice.

I just pre ordered the UK S7 Edge, hoping it'll be Exynos.
In the benchmark thread people are getting virtually identical Antutu scores across chips. It looks like the Snapdragon is throttling earlier than the Exynos though, they always have ran hotter.

In singel core performance, the SD is a few % better. But in multi core, the exynos is about 20% ahead. So it does seem to run better with the CPU. Also it seems to run cooler, so throttling should be better.

We need someone to run consecutive 3dmark runs on the exynos in order to know whether the gpu throttles or not, and if so after how many runs. We already know neither will throttle the cpu in geekbench, but the SD820 throttles the gpu a bit after two 3dmark runs.

Yes we should await further testing. Since the SD is released in America for some already, the benchmarks for exynos are hard to find.

I'm pulling this from past experience with exynos 7420 kernel development, and every article ive read on the 820 and the exynos 8890, in addition to benchmarks on both and my own device. Qualcomm leads the world in modem technology. The one in the 820 supposedly has achieved parity with wifi. In addition we have the hexagon DSP and spectra ISP all of which can operate in a sort of HMP configuration to accelerate tasks. I would find it hard to believe that Samsung has caught up to qcom in these misc blocks of the SOC. But that's why I said most likely for that portion as I'm just making an educated guess. Single threaded performance is quantifiably higher on the snapdragon, all the benchmarks shows this, just as they show that the 8 core exynos scores higher in multithreaded scenarios. The rest about development etc is because Samsung doesn't release the proprietary hardware blobs we need to get a proper aosp/cm port working. Meaning we have to write them from scratch which takes forever. Qcom has always provided these in the past. The GPU also performs better in benchmarks, whether there's a noticeable difference in real life remains to be seen, still from all evidence the snapdragon beats out the exynos GPU. And my experience with the 7420 taught me that the small cores can have trouble keeping the ui smooth at all times, and we see the same cluster again on the exynos, only on a slightly improved node. Hopefully this explains the logic behind my post better.

Could very well be that the sd820 endas up faster than the exynos 8890 in day to day tasks, but the sd820 seems to be using a lot of mW in comparison to other SoCs(check anandtech's look at the mi-5). Its single thread performance is better, but on average there's only a 10% difference and the exynos is clocked lower than reference (2.7ghz and 2.4ghz). Both modems achieve the same speeds so the only thing that is going to matter in the end is efficiency. Still need to take a look at the GPU throttling on the 8890, as we only know the sd820 GPU throttles at this point in time. Personally I would have preferred the sd820, but if the 8899 brings better battery and better audio quality the difference in performance is worth it. Looking forward to anandtech's in-depth comparison! Don't really get why we haven't seen any reviews yet even though people have the phones already.

Also awaiting the deep dive on both. Keep in mind though, that 2 of the 820s cores are clocked at 1.6 and have less l2cache to save power, and 2 of them are at 2.2ghz, so clock for clock they have very high performance. As for the power draw comparison, it was only an estimate to begin with, and ones got 4 little and 4 small and if it was only using the 4 small during the test that alone would be a noticeable power draw difference. It gets pretty complex with these big.little setups. I've also noticed the snapdragon version has a pretty high load average which should be able to get lowered with some modifications to the kernel.

Yup my SD820 is running full on SPay, Bluetooth, WIFI, NFC, Always On Display all without power saving mode and I get 8h SOT in 24h. Listening to a few posts of people beginning to learn the phones quirks within the first few days is not evidence of anything other than the phone being broken in. Spreading information like this gets people buying devices for unsubstantiated reasons. Please provide evidence if you're going to post stuff like this. You guys are just starting an echo chamber quoting each other with no evidence supporting your rumors.

I never believe people when they say they get 8 hours of screen on time.
And if you read my post carefully, you'll see the fact that I stated the SD820 still has great SoT, but just that there are issues with the Android system draining an alarming amount of battery percentage. This is not some baseless claim, there are multiple posts in the battery life thread showing the android system taking up 35%< of the battery.
Edit:

In case you were wondering which thread.
Again, it's just a strange thing that can maybe be fixed by a software update.
And while we're at it, how about you show screenshots of your supposed 8 hours of SoT?

Hi,
as the title says, is it possible to buy the exynos version of galaxy s7 edge, but then change the CPU later to a snapdragon 820?
If it is possible to change the CPU / GPU where would i be able to find it as a sparepart?
Thanks in advance.

Not possible. You'd be better off just buying a Snapdragon variant but I have no idea why you would want to do that when the general consensus is the exynos version is slightly better.
what he said^^
Surely this is not a serious question. You intend to desolder the existing cpu?

Although, I agree that you shouldn't even consider trying to swap processors. Maybe try to purchase a Snapdragon variant?
Having some experience with PCB and electronics production, no it would not be possible to outright swap the cpu.
But maybe if you are good at tinkering you could buy a motherboard off of a broken device and swap that?
I do not have a lot of experience with electronics modification so i guess my only option is to buy the Snapdragon variant from another country.
In this context does anyone know of any verified phone sellers on the asian market (where the snapdragon variant currently is available) that has a webshop with international delivery?
Also if i buy the phone from asia will i be able to use it with a telephone subscription in Europe or is there some fundamental differences on the phone depending on where you buy it?

Nope, the only thing sd820 is better than 8890 is GPU. In cpu 8890 kills the sd820 even on battery life.

But it does. The only thing it slightly loses in is Integer performance. But it makes up for this in floating point superiority. Don't forget, the exynos in single threaded stuff runs at 2.6ghz, thats about 18% faster than the snapdragons 2.15ghz. If we Normalized the clocks, theres really no question which ones superior in single core performance. As for OPs question, no, unless you are a total bada** it would almost certainly not work. You would likely need to replace the whole board, not just the CPU as it's all one big interconnected system. Especially on the sd820, due to it using the symphony system manager to dynamically offload tasks to the DSP and other blocks to save power and improve performance. On top of all that you would also have weird issues with the kernel being for exynos version for instance and have to get that fixed.
Tldr. Plz don't...
IMHO, The SD 820 beats the 8890 in some areas. However, To me it doesnt really matter which we have, The Device is extremely good with both. Runs a dream. However there is always the issue that development will become slightly frgamented...
We have TWRP for Exynos but not for SD devices. Plus im sure the ROM Will follow soon.
Whats interesting is that the S5 and Note 4 devices internationally came with SD 801 and 805 Respectively.
However after the S6 / Note 5 all Exynos product etc, Sammie decidied to flip that on its head :/ Personally I prefer SD chips. Solely because from previous experience they trashed Exynos and Kirin based ones. However Sammie really upped their game!

The reason Samsung didn't use the 810 last year was because it was an inferior SOC. It had a lot of heat issues. Up to that point qcom had been great. Also we have no twrp or kernels yet on SD because Samsung has only released exynos source so far for some reason -_-
consider samsung had a year with the 14nm processor, I would love to get my hand on an exynos processor. I have a feeling Samsung pay extra attention to their own processor than a snapdragon 820. Things like updates may come quicker too.
As Sammies Chip making process has grown (Yes Apple... Im looking at oyu) , its made Sammie a helluva ton'a muneh!
Seriously though, Samsung have done a good job with the last 2 gens of processors. S6 and Note 5 and the S7 8890 are nuts!
As for the sourcecode, well when its created by Samsung etc its not so bad
Back to the OP. No you cannot change the processor. Besides if it goes wrong, Warranty is instantly void

It does but there is a diffrence. When the exynos win it does it with almost 40% in single core which IS noticeable ..the sd820 only wins with up to 10% which is not ( talking about single core here). Hopefully anandtech will sink there teeth in to both socs soon and we will get a clear answer. As for boost clocks... the sd820 have a GPU boost which helps it in bursty situations but can't sustain it for long, that's the extra score in 3D for ya. But will see as time goes by..I have a feeling the exynos is the better overall

Either way, I don't think you can say the Exynos is superior. It's better at some things, sure, but the 820 also beats the Exynos in several areas. I have used both extensively and in real world usage, you can't tell a difference. Only benchmarks show the difference.

The best win the exynos pulls off in single core is in AES with a 57% win over the SD 820. In the same category the 820 wins sha2 with about a 40% win. And the exynos is clocked almost 20% higher... The exynos 7420 Mali GPU also had a burst clock. It ran at 650mhz unless all cores weren't loaded it would boost up to 720mhz for bursty workloads. In floating point the snapdragon pretty much wins everything despite being at a significant clock disadvantage. If we under clocked the exynos to 2.1ghz it wouldn't even be close IMO. In fact the Integer wins may be largely lost when clocks are normalized.
Qwhy don't people to a trans Atlantic phone exchange. I'm sticking with the exception exynos for the battery. Still waiting for a decent screen protector and battery case though.
I traded my note 5 for the S7 edge. I did a side by side comparison after the fact, just opening up some apps and the note 5 was significantly faster. Now i know the note5 is a octa while the s7 is a quad. But I remember Samsung boasting about how its the fastest on the market. I then did a side by side with my buddies s6 and they were the same speed. Has anyone else experienced this? Im wondering if i got a bum phone as im currently in another thread talking about the phones cpu temp. thanks
The quadcore snapdragon should be about 20% to 30% faster than their latest exynos octacore. Also, ram optimization will be diff on both phones. In real world test, the edge 7 runs faster and has better battery life. Once the apps were loaded into the ram on the s7 it blew the note 5 away. I also tested both devices. Your device is normal, the real world performance is slightly better. Not night and day
Samsung optimises there own socs better than the SD variants, see speed tests on YouTube on s7 VS apple 6s..every time the exynos won over the 6s but the SD looses every time (in opening apps etc)
That's the big drawback with having other than home grew socs in your phone, they are not as optimised as the original one.

Very much depends. Single core? Yes. Multi core? No, the other way around. The general consensus is that, as a CPU, the Exynos is the better hardware. But the GPU on the Qualcomm SOC is faster and better.

Well yeah in multi core test you wont be winning any benchmarks but more cores dont always mean its faster and or better. Look at what apple does with single and dual core processors. Most of all the bench mark test on both the US version and intl version are pretty neck and neck both versions winning and losing some test to each other. On paper, the 820 should offer a performance boost.

There are plenty of benchmarks on this. Exynos 8890 wins on multi-core tests and also real-world tests. It looses by a small margin on single-core. RAM speed is really no-contest, Exynos drives the RAM 50% faster.
Looks like the Snapdragon S8 is a clear winner this time.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/11540/samsung-galaxy-s8-exynos-versus-snapdragon
"Battery life has also improved significantly from the S7 to the S8, even though there’s been no change in battery capacity. This comes thanks in large part to Samsung's 10nm LPE process, which has allowed chip designers to rebalance their designs to curtail power consumption while still offering a modest performance increase. Overall Samsung has definitely improved overall efficiency for this generation, however the S835 model has a clear advantage over the E8895 S8. This is particularly obvious when looking at GPU power consumption"
"If you’re upgrading from a previous Android or Galaxy phone, especially one that predates the S7, the Galaxy S8’s performance and battery life will not disappoint, no matter which SoC is used. Between these two, however, across all of the tests I've run, the S835 model is certainly the better of the two in terms of those metrics."
Now if you want root and custom roms then it's a different story. If your a exynos fanboy like me then it's one choice haha

Neither nor. Just thought the exynos vs snapdragon "war" was always very entertaining
Hi
I just ordered the S20 Plus from EE UK after ordering I noticed Samsung doesn't release the snapdragon chipset in the UK LOL So I had a look online Youtube and noticed they is a clear winner here for the snapdragon also it is 8nm vs 7nm
I do get a 14 day cancellation if I dont like the device.
Both the SD 865 and Exynos 990 are 7nm. It is expected that the Exynos will be behind the SD but we still can't say how much. We have to wait for the first review devices.

Keep in mind. If you ever want to unlock the bootloader that the snap dragon more than likely will not be able to. How it's been for years now. Exynos is the way to go in my opinion.
Both the Exynos and snapdragon chips are good. But in performance Exynos is performing least than the Snapdragon.
So far with my research, the Snapdragon is 20% faster in multi-core operation and 3% behind in Single-core mode.... so some features like AI will be better on the Exynos... but if you play games or render video, the Snapdragon is the clear winner.... My main concern is do I even want to root the phone?!? I lost root on my s8 within the past year and I havent found a need to redo it (since I have the wipe the phone its a PITA)...... I can preorder in the United States right now and trade-in my phone... If I decide to root the phone...I'd want to buy the Exynos verison, which would affect any trade-ins......... Last time I bought the Exynos S8 verison and it has lasted pretty good... I am still using it now however my back in cracked up some and a small crack on the front upper corner that cannot be seen in its case.... So I expect to only get $120 trade in for it.... now, if they will do multiple trade-ins I still have my old S7 as well.... even still... for a S20+ 512gb phone I am looking at $900-$1000 for the phone outright... and then $1300 if i elect to get the Exynos verision if I want to root it eventually...
Decisions Decision... and I am sure most of us in the US are in this situation.... I like the depth sensor so the S20 is out... and the size and weight of the Ultra, plus the fact that I will doubt i will ever use the 108mp mode... the S20+ is big enough coming from the S8.... so only thing left is which CPU?!? I hear the SnapDragon will also be better on Battery life as well... since both chipsets have four ARM Cortex-A55 cores, but where the Snapdragon 865 complements the package with four additional cores based on the ARM Cortex-A77 architecture, the Exynos 990 features two Exynos M5 custom cores and two older ARM Cortex-A76 cores.
Apparently 5G on the Snapdragon version would not work in Europe/UK.
It's all in the other thread for the S20 ultra.
This is very bad - if it's true...

HK version supports N78 (UK 5G band).

Hey there!
Any further studies comparing SD and exymos proc? Google isn't giving many results atm :-/
I have the UK exynos s20 plus. very disappointed with the camera. Will no doubt return it and consider getting a snapdragon version. at least with that you can use gcam.
https://mightygadget.co.uk/samsung-...mm-snapdragon-865-geekbench-results-compared/
Here is the best comparison so far. Exynos has better GPU (which is rather surprising), and worse CPU department (single core is faster on Exynos and S865 is better in multicore performance). Battery life almost the same. Nothing to complain about Exynos version this year.

Here is another comparsion:

Exynos sometimes literaly destroys S865...
My battery life is doing good enough getting around 4/5 hours screen on time. I have made some adjustments though I run 120hz dark theme on everything I can and also have a dark wallpaper, I dont use Always-on screen and I turned on the adaptive battery and adaptive brightness. I have disabled from running in the background mostly games once I quit them they quit. I use bixby routines for night time so at 12am to 6am my phone is in aeroplane mode and power mode is reduced overnight.
I think that is everything I have done so far
I am not so much concerned about various battery life and power differences as I am about them using completely different camera sensors. comparisons of last few years models has shown clear differences in favour of snapdragon (Sony sensor).
I need dual sim...
Unfortunately I really needed the dual sim so had to go for Exynos variant. Kinda regret it now though. Battery life doesn't seem that great as all the reviews I've seen using the SD chip.

If you.go to settings - device care screen does the battery icon show 'learning usage patterns' underneath the power bar?
If yes then don't try to make any judgement on battery drain until this message disappears

The answer is no, I've been using this phone for 2 weeks. If I'm lucky I will get 4 hours screen on time. I took mine out of 100% charge last night and used 33m. Today so far 1hr 12m. Battery level is already at 60%. Assuming I get another 20mins off and it goes to 50%, that is only 2 hours for 50% of my battery.
It's currently set to 120Hz 1080p, with adaptive power saving and adaptive battery on. Enhanced location with wifi and BT is turned off.
Honestly this is pretty disappointing.
Even if you have the Snapdragon single SIM version, can you still use a MicroSD card then? or....
(currently on the Exynos S20 but I'd like to try the Snapdragon version, just for sh##s and giggles)

Yes the SD version comes with MicroSD card slot.
