Sorry if this has been asked earlier, but I was unable to search and find anything regarding the following information - so here it goes:
I've seen several posts on xda mentioning a -807 (vs the -805 we have in Sweden atm) and I'm wondering what the difference between these two models are. I assume the -807 has LTE as well as a new processor, no?
Also, is there a -707 model on the way as well? In that case, I'm going for it!
I have no idea about the 707 and T807s. What I can tell you is that the T705 and T805 both have roms and root for the tablets. I havent seen any roms for 707 of any sort. So most likly, you are going to see more development for the T805 and T705 and root for those also. There is no root for T707 or t807 and migjt have locked bootloaders i think.
If I'm not mistaken the x07 models are some special AT&T models or something...

the ATT model per oldblue910 I think does not have call app (cannot make calls..data access but no calling capability)
I believe T707 is a modified T705 with the calling/texting apps removed. T807 is probably similar.
There are sub-models like T707A (AT&T) and T807V (Verizon). I think the Verizon and Sprint models have a Snapdragon processor
T807x and T707x have a Snapdragon and LTE. The x indicates carrier customizations for USA carriers (mobile phone functions removed for sure, some may even have specific LTE bands). The T805 and 705 have an Exynos and LTE, and the T800 and T700 have an Exynos without LTE.
Does anyone know if it's safe to flash the T705 stock firmware on the ATT T707 variant using Odin? I recall doing this on the original Galaxy Tab and the Euro firmware enabled the dialer for calling. Using mine on T-Mobile and would love to remove the ATT bloat.
Sorry if his is redundant, I could not find anything on Google.
I have the t807p which is the sprint model with snapdragon processor. I make calls to and from it all the time as it came with its own phone number from sprint.
The AT&T x07 models use a Exynos CPU not Snapdragon.
I returned mine.
Snapdragon is much better and lots of development in custom roms
I'm looking to get a note4, but not sure what model to get for tmobile. Please advise! Thanks!
910T NOT the 910T3
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
What about the SM-910C? Are there any issues using an unlocked international version?
You will want to avoid the sm-n910t3 model...
Do not buy the t3 model as it's locked down on and on the horrific intrusive lollipop.
PM me as I have a few note 4's all on pure kitkat 4.4
Powered by: Octa Core Exynos
Why the hate on the T3? It's what was shipped to me (new T-Mobile customer as of 2 weeks ago) and I love it... there was a few bugs with the stock ROM but I have been running TEKXodus URv3.4 and have been in LOVE with this device.
What's so different about the 910T vs the 910T3?
Hey all. I am currently using a Galaxy S4 in the US and want to upgrade to the S10+ base storage and RAM. I will soon be going off to college so I plan to keep this phone for at least 4-5 years so I don't spend too much on a new one. I am torn between 3 different models, the Snapdragon, the Exynos Dual-Sim that will be available on Amazon, and the regular Exynos that I can get shipped from my relatives in India. I have a few questions though:
1. If I buy the Exynos models, will I still be able to get One UI 2.0 beta in the US? Since India always gets the beta, will I get it at the same time India does, or do I have to wait till the US beta opens? Will any other US features (except VoLTE and Wifi-Calling) be impacted?
2. I use T-Mobile. I read somewhere that the Exynos 9810 does not support the new 600mhz band for T-Mobile, so will the new one have support or no? This one really isn't that big of a deal just so long as I get LTE.
3. If I buy it from India, will my relatives have to put their SIM in it to activate it (does it have a regional lock)? If so, when I factory reset it, will it revert back to the regional locked state?
4. When will I get software updates? When the rest of the Exynos models get them?
5. What are the advantages and disadvantages of Exynos over Snapdragon besides OEM Unlock?
6. If I buy the Dual Sim model, is there good ROM support for it or only for the Single SIM Exynos?
For me OEM Unlock is a major option because of how long I will keep the phone. Thank you so much for your thoughts!

To the best of my knowledge:
1. Yes. As for US features that depends on whether your carrier supports them on the international model.
2. You need to confirm with T-Mobile. The international model may not support all bands in the US, and vice versa
3. Nope, that shouldn't be a problem.
4. Software updates in the US are pushed through the carrier, whereas international models get them direct from Samsung. So the timeline for both may not be the same
5. Lot more development on XDA for the Exynos models, simply because they have an unlocked bootloader
6. They are basically the same with the exception of the second SIM slot. Almost all ROMs for the single sim variant should work for the dual-sim version too.
I have the EXynos Note 9 on T-Mobile usa and very happy with development, network, etc...

Still remember when my Galaxy S9 was preordered to later realise that the exynos variant suffered from severe battery loss due to soc design architecture.
Returned it within the 30 day window
S9 flopped

Finally got Android P installed and the first thing I did was a erase cache within recovery mode.

Exynos will probably get root and unlocked bootloader. The Snapdragon will be locked down like a puppy. So if you care about root, or development, get the Exynos. If you don't, then the Snapdragon will do.

Based on previous releases you should be able to get an unlocked bootloader on the Snapdragon variant from Hong Kong. Likely less custom ROM's but no issues with battery drain or overheating, plus early benchmarks reflect the Snapdragon out performing the Exynos Chipset.

The Snapdragon 855 is also outperforming the newest Exynos 9820 in benchmark testing, including the CPU's. Likely most users won't be able to notice a difference with the exception of gaming. The Snapdragon looks to be vastly better optimized in this regard. Also, we'll have a better understanding for performance metrics once the chipsets are tweaked for final release.

For myself, unless S10/S10+ prices come in much lower than rumors suggest, these chipset comparisons won't mean much. Rumors suggest the S10+ with 512gb memory and 8gb RAM exceeds $1,400.00 USD. Not a player at that price but if I was, even if the Snapdragon 855 is anywhere close to the Exynos 9820, it would be my choice, particularly after seeing the battery drain and overheating issues associated with the Exynos devices. Sure, they'll always be the Exynos users stating they never experienced any problems however many users are/were affected as noted from postings here on XDA and elsewhere.

All of the claims of $1300+ prices are based off of exchange rates for pounds not off of actual US prices. It will be under $1000.
Also, the UK has a 20% VAT which is built into their prices.

Not according to sources from Techradar and Forbes, $1,340.00 and $1,390.00 USD respectively. It looks as though Samsung is going to reap additional profits via memory upgrades. A difference in price close to $300.00 USD between 128Gb and 512Gb. Surely a big markup considering Samsung is the largest producer of memory chips. Guessing their actual cost difference between the two is less than $50.00. And these prices are for the 4G device. Projected increase for the 5G devices is around $200.00. We'll know for certain in a couple of weeks.

The sources for both of those articles are the UK prices I previously mentioned. And again the VAT was not removed. If there is any version of the S10 which will start above $1,000 it will be the Special Edition version as that will be the only one which comes with 5G in addition to it being larger in all areas (6.7 inches, 1TB storage, and 10-12GB of RAM).

I wish you're right but not a chance!
Don’t get the exynos variant if you want a samsung flagship phone. Never.
In my opinion, flagship phones deserve a flagship soc, and that is not exynos.
Search google for:
Samsung Galaxy Note9 Performance & Battery Showdown: Snapdragon vs Exynos
And read through the AnandTech review.
Hey guys im planing to buy a note 8 but there are two different chipset models so which model should i buy? and also i heard there is a colour burning issue on note 8 is it happen in both chipset devices or just exynos device.please help me to sort out this problems

Color burning (or screen burn-in) only happens when you run 100% brightness for an extended period of time on a white background. Avoid this and you'll be fine.
Qualcomm is American chipsets. They are locked and are regional models like U, U1, V. They cannot have custom roms at this period of time.
Exynos is the Samsung chipset. It is included in models like F, FD and N. It is unlocked and you are able to flash custom firmware/roms etc such as Lineage, TWRP, Magisk.
tl;dr if you don't know what custom roms are, it doesn't matter.
Just buy the same variant as the ones they sell locally at your phone shops.
Remember, samsung used Qualcomm's chipset for a very good reason...... If not they would have used their own exynos..

The only reason that Samsung used the Qualcomm SOC for the US and Chinese markets is due to regional restrictions. Personally, I prefer the Exynos variant of the Note 8. As the Exynos SOC has been proven to be more energy efficient.

Actually, no. Its the cdma. Since cdma is dying anyway, there is no need to invest to develop cdma into exynos.. That's why samsung just continued to use snapdragon for those markets.

If you care about ever flashing custom ROMs, then get an Exynos. The Qualcom variant can't be flashed this way. I'm happily running an imported SM-N950F in the USA on AT&T with zero problems.
Looking to update my locked S8+ to the Note9. I use ATT and will be planning on purchasing a North America model. However, since this is a GSM provider that I will be using it with, I'm trying to find the best model to allow root and various tweaks along with changing roms.
I've taken a good look at this thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/help/note9-model-compatible-t3934795 but unable to make a clear decision before buying.
Any advice before purchase?
Go with the Exynos not and not snapdragon
