I haven't seen anything specific about the exynos chipset yet?
yep NSA already have a copy of your porn collection
A handful of cortex cores are affected so any exynos chip using one of those cores will be affected. Arm has a list of affected cores.
https://developer.arm.com/support/security-update
Are Samsung's later Exynos CPU's using fully custom cores? Or are they modified versions of existing ARM architectures?
The Snapdragon 820 and 835 CPU's use customised variants of the A72 and A73 cores, though Qualcomm use their own name.

Pretty sure they're their own cores.. with that LITTLE big design... I assume that design is still in use
Edit: Nope I was wrong:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exynos#List_of_ARMv8_Exynos_SoCs
> Exynos 9 Octa 8895
> Cortex-A53 (GTS)
So It looks like its immune to these issues:
https://developer.arm.com/support/security-update
So far from recent reports all current CPUs are affected by the hack.

TBH it is a VERY large number of current and recent and not so recent CPU's are affected.
Close enough to all of them that finding one that are NOT affected is a rare thing.
What about performance after installing January 2018 security patch on Samsung devices ?
We will se any performance issues ?
Contacted samsung asking about whether 8895 is affected by spectre bug. In an email reply, they didnt specifically mention if its affected, but said that the december security patch is to solve it.
In another word, 8895 is affected.
According to this:
https://security.samsungmobile.com/securityUpdate.smsb
Spectre and Meltdown is fixed in January 2018 patch.
Similiar case was with Krack and Blueborne. For example they fixed it in Security level month 2, but I got this fixed with Security level month 1 update. So Spectre and Meltdown could be fixed too in december security patch.

The snapdragon used in the note 8 is vulnerable to spectre. Its the same chip used in the LG v30

Hi guys
Good evening ..i had note9 since 1 week and i have a question
Is there a real diffrence between exynos and snapdragon .. iam from Egypt and i have exynos version
Second ghing i have a very stupid lag on PUBG ?? Is this coz of new pie udate or it a general problem
Thank you in advance
Lesson learnt. Never go with exynos chips again. Since exynos decices are officially sold in asia Snapdragons are cheaper and its technically better

Actually Exynos devices are sold in the EU, Austrailia and parts of the middle East. The US and East Asia use Snapdragon devices.

Common really Lesson learnt ? Exynos is awesome! There are to many factors just to blame Exynos, his network could suck ? Or the game (Pub G) has a bug that's causing the lag! Or in game settings aren’t optimized ? You cant balme the cpu for in game lag! Exynos Rock they are awesome chipset!

The snapdragon version is better in every possible way - GPU (on average 30% faster), the CPU (in every real world scenario or bench, except geekbench), better battery life. That said, the exynos 9810 is perfectly capable to run PUBG maxed out smoothly. I tested it in android oreo on my exynos note 9. It's possible that the game has some issues with the pie update, as the new GPU driver is actually giving around 10% more performance in every scenario.
I want to add though. The audio quality is quite a lot better on the exynos.

i won’t say Snapdragon destroys Exynos they both have the strength and weakness.. Also note Samsung does not really optimize Exynos chipsets for Android! They rush and cut corners.. The way Samsung see's it, if it does the job (what’s the point of spending real time to get the whole o.s optimized for Android) if Samsung truly setup the Exynos for Android from the ground up it would actually leave the snapdragon cpu in dust!
From androidcentral!!
Technically, there is nothing surprising about this — the Exynos 9810's M3 cores are extremely powerful, besting Qualcomm's proprietary Kryo cores by a large margin in synthetic tests like Geekbench. But Samsung appears to have failed the task of balancing real-world performance with device longevity, and given Android's scalability, such theoretical performance advantages are not always borne out in the mundanities of daily tasks.

You have to wait next pie updates. Exynos is the best chipset on device market but always has been limited due to battery and device safety.

You're trying too hard my friend. In the end all that matters is real life performance... and since the Galaxy S8, the Exynos has been biting the dust. (The Exynos S7 was actually faster than the Snapdragon S7 in real-life screnarios though, except in 3D performance).
I'm not saying the Exynos is a mediocre SoC, but clearly Samsung failed to deliver for some time now. Today, in 2019, the Snapdragon variant of the S9/N9 is without a doubt the one to get if your cell. network is supported. The Snapdragon 845 is also more efficient and less power-hungry.

This was valid in the past, the latest snapdragons DAC is really a step up, especially the one in the snapdragon 845. I still would put on top the exynos 9810 DAC tho, but by not that much compared to the past SOCs.

True and wrong. It's true that the M3 cores has a lot of brute power and also it's true that there is a lot of room for improvements regarding 9810 control... sadly as you said it was rushed, half baked, android 9 improves it a bit but still it's like 1/4 of the max potential and as we know - new phones are coming with new SOC's and this will be leaved as it is, sadly. Wrong in the meaning that the exynos 9810 can't beat snapdragon 945, because if you unleash it the power consumption would be insane and it will lead to a lot of heat, throttling (thermal), poor sustain from those two and really bad screen on time. And this is only the CPU, the GPU is no contest at all - the adreno is around 30% faster (depending on the workload)... atleast we got around 10% higher scores with the newer driver in the android 9 tho. Also wrong in the meaning that the only CPU bench that puts exynos on top is the geekbench, every other CPU test or bench is giving the first place to the sd845, including the more close to real world tests like pcmark. I have the exynos note 9 btw.

Aha, but a few problems:
1) this is not the stock ROM/kernel and some of us prefer to not unlock as it voids the warranty + you literally will need to flash updates every single month as this phone is heavily supported
2) your battery life will be a lot worse vs the snapdragon 845
3) you GPU is still 30% slower and some of us DO game on that phone
4) this is benchmarks after all, real world can be different and you will most likely have a few frame drops while the sd does not
It's not that simple as to flash a custom kernel, but it's a good reference point that samsung have a lot of room to improve the SOC control, but they will not do it, mostly because the galaxy s10 is here and every single competent engineer will work on it + future devices.
I don't understand how these differences can be clearly representing in real world use, everyday use, to the average and enthusiast consumer. I'm actually thinking about buying an Exynos Note 9 for one reason: ROOT.
I'm sure I'll be just as happy with the performance of the Exynos chip just as I am on this Snapdragon. I don't really game that much, anyway. Not stuff like shooters at least.

Well, there are a few forum fellow members that got the both variants. All of them said the same - that they came prepared for a difference in favour of the snapdragon, but was surprised how big it is and all of them returned the exynos keeping the snapdragon variant. This should sum it up from "real world" perspective. The exynos is not super bad or anything, the snapdragon version is just THAT much better.
Also if you want more scientific approach - anandtech Andrei's note 9 sd vs note 9 exynos direct comparison. For the numbers, but the real world is coming from our forum. I am sure if you search long enough that you will find atleast some of those comparison and opinions.

Hmmm. But root, though. It's a compelling reason to get an Exynos. I'm not sure how much longer it may be for something awesome to happen on the Snapdragon side of things when it comes to root but it'll probably be many moons from now. Exynos is here already able to root and I'm trying to decide if I should pull the trigger on buying one.

well the 9600 would be the best of both worlds. just not much development. but then again note 9 exynos developemnt is not much anyways. There seems to be a bigger community around on telegram with roms that have more mods than what we currently have on xda...
but I feel content with my n960n.
Hi!
I want to buy a Samsung S10+ but I have to decide between exynos or snapdragon.
Any advice?
I would like to unlock and root the phone.
I come from Italy so would be easier to find an exynos one.
Thanks a lot!
If you had the HK Snap you'd have a slightly faster/better battery/cam/DAC phone but much less support from XDA.
The Exynos would be a bit slower/harder on battery but with much more modding support from XDA.
Pick your poison.
How slightly? :laugh:
thank you for the response.
I think I'll problaby go with the exynos at this point...
I need root but I still ordered an unlocked Snapdragon although in my country (Germany) it's not available. I was lucky that at the arrival root was also available for Snappys (Honk Kong / China).
Snapdragon is basically more widely optimized in certain apps. Exynos is more likely to get more ROMs in the near future and at the moment it already has an early version TWRP.
My reasons for Snappy:
- Better camera processing
- Better headphone DAC
- GPU is like 30% faster
- In some reviews the Exynos throttles quite a lot compared to Snappy
- Emulators run bad on Exynos compared to Snapdragons (It was important for me)
- The CPU part is more up to date (7nm process etc.) The exynos is still produced in 8nm process
- As a result the Snapdragon will uses less power on equal terms (physics)
- You have a rare phone...
- I was aware that ROMs will be rare but the S10 is sooo god out of the box anyway and with root you can customize necessary settings
- Samsung kinda fools the consumers by using the inferior Exynos but they got more equal since the last Exynos
I fogot one downside which could be significant for some.
You will get a restricted warranty if at all. you won't be able to buy that phone with a contract in "Exynos" countries.
thank you very much for all the infos
but is it already possible to root with snapdragon?

yes but it's important to have an unlocked bootloader. As far as I know only China/HK devices have an unlocked BL.
The name is SM-G9700 (s10e), SM-G9730 (s10), SM-G9750(s10+)
Snapdragon for the heavy 3d gamers, exynos for the others in Europe/Middle East.
You won't find a difference but in games as already said the exynos will get warmer and battery will deplete faster.
In another hand once custom kernels and roms will be unleashed, cpu/gpu control will improve on exynos, same will go with the camera which can be modded to lowering noise removal and why not give raw to the telephoto and wide angle cameras
I've also heard that the Hong Kong/ TGY variant (i.e. G9730 on the S10 and G9700 on the S10e) may have some issues with connecting on some 4G bands in Europe (but especially in the US). For what I read on the other threads, it seems that they are not set-up correctly for doing carrier aggregation (CA) which, if I understood it correctly, will influence your downlink speed and may affect some features like Voice over LTE (VoLTE). Am I correct? Do you guys know how bad this will affect user experience?

And another downside is the price... About 80-90€ more in Europe than Exynos one.
Is rooting and custom ROM's be available to the snapdragon version of China? The G9730?
I can buy the exynos version for 600€ and the G9730 for 630€
Is it worth the extra 30€?
I just want a functional GCam and rooting is a must for me, if it can't be rooted I might just go for the exynos version

I also wanted to change my phone to s10, but then checked xda devices pages of s7, s8, s9 and understood that there is no point in taking Samsung. Even though S7 just got properly working LOS16, other devices are still way behind with dying threads as devices don't have developers left.

But only partly. Overclocking is bad for battery and harms stability. Also you cannot improve an inferior Mali-GPU to perform better or equal to the good Adreno.
Also Exynos is sometimes not optimized well, for example on emulators, so a Snapdragon will always be a lot faster even without any optimization.

I've rooted my Chinese phone for quite a while. Installing the HongKong firmware allows everything.
No custom recovery though but I don't miss it honestly.
Roms are possible (when custome recov. is there) but will likely come for the Exynos mostly.
Honestly on my Exynos Galaxy S6 there haven't been many advantages with a custom rom.
On Lineage Roms the camera and other things didn't work well which was absolutely not acceptable for me.
Expect even less customizations for the (Exynos) Galaxy S10s, also because with Pie new barriers appear for developers. Let alone future Android versions...
I would say it is worth it. Read my advantage list which was mostly reviewed and approved.
thanks everyone for giving an opinion.
I would like to know, for the chinese version, if it's available also Magisk.
Also, where can I buy online a chinese version with warranty? any link to share?
thanks again
The only reason I'd get an Exynos (for use here in the US) is for root. That's it. That's why I'm buying an Exynos Note 10 (maybe) next spring. Prices will drop steadily by then. Currently using a SD S10.

As a Scandinavian, it is nice to hear that Samsung's Exynos is finally on par with Snapdragon, because those Exynos models are sold here in Scandinavia.
I don't give a whole lot for the Benchmark tests - but it is fun to see how well your phone does - very impressed with the scores I have seen on Snapdragon S21 Ultras....

I am from Sweden, i had Exynos models of Samsung all the time until the last year's S20 Ultra, i went for the Snapdragon 865 model imported from Hong Kong because of the chip itself. The Exynos 990 was bad in every point, bad CPU, bad GPU, bad battery life, too much heating, too much throttling, so now with the new Exynos 2100 i can see Samsung is back on track even though the Snapdragon 888 still a little bit better but that difference is not an issue for the majority of end-users, they will never pay attention for these stuff so i am also happy for that and that's why decided this time to go for S21 Ultra Exynos 2100 for many reasons, see them below:
1. The Exynos 2100 supports ALL frequencies, band combinations unlike the Snapdragon model from HK, it is limited, so actually, if i want a good coverage and full modem support, i have to choose the model customised with the Swedish networks.
2. The Android phones sold in Sweden has 2 years of warranty, also 3 years of returns right if we prove the phone has manufacturing issue! In this case for example i returned back an S20+ with Exynos 990 and i claimed it was a very bad chip when comparing to Snapdragon!! This is after i used the phone for 8 months lol.
3. If the phone gets issues, it's very easy to send it to a service center for fix (for free). With imported Snapdragon model, i need to send it back to HK, which costs me around 50-60 € in DHL postage fee, also it has only 1 year warranty by the store, not by Samsung itself.
4. If the phone gets broken or stolen, my home insurance company compensate me well with the Swedish model and much less with the imported Snapdragon one..
So many aspects to choose a phone in Sweden, i guess it's almost the same elsewhere in Europe.
Hi, apart from the 2 extra Gb are there any other notable differences between the two models?
The 8Gb models seem to be cheaper here in Australia on eBay, Kogan etc.
I believe the 8GB model is the one sporting Snapdragon 730G SOC, as in Snapdragon 730 'Gaming' , which is a variant of the 730 SOC with a small overclock on the GPU side and it's supposed to be tweaked for more sustained performance (before power throttling).
Don't expect real life noticeable differences. Overall the Snapdragon 700 platform is a mediocre/mid-range one and thus very intensive CPU and/or 3D graphics tasks won't run 100% smooth on neither 730 or 730G.
