Is it possible to flash firmware of n950u on n950f device? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hi all,
I have n950f device and I am working in USA and it is not possible to download us application such as bank apps or train apps on this device from the market since the device is european.
Is it possible to flash firmware of n950u on n950f device? in this case I will chanfe the device to US device.
Please advise.
N950u CPU:
Octa-Core, 2 processors:
2.35Ghz Quad-Core Kryo
1.9Ghz Quad-Core Kryo
GPU: Qualcomm Adreno 54
N950f CPU:
Octa-Core, 2 processors:
2.3Ghz Quad-Core Mongoose
1.7Ghz Quad-Core ARM Cortex-A53
GPU - ARM Mali-G71 MP20

I think it has more to do with your Google Play account, not with having Europe phone... I used Note 4 N910F in US when I moved to US and was able to use BoA and all kind of US-specific apps after I changed the country in Google Play account.
Answer to your question: you cannot flash Snapdragon N950U FW to your Exynos device.

The two firmwares are not compatible. You will hard brick the device.

Thanks for your reply, issue solved by changing google account.
Thanks

Snapdragon 800 a bit long in the tooth by now.

I was quite surprised to learn that the Tab S series of tablets ships with the aging Snapdragon 800. I find it's a bit out of place on a tablet where all other specs are top notch. The reviews I read specifically say the tabet can be sluggish at times when more CPU power is required.
I guess I hold out on my upgrade a bit longer then...

Only the LTE versions come with the Snapdragon 800. Wi-fi gets the Exynos 5420.
how is the 5420 ?
I'm kind of disappointed the UK versions have the 5420 - I find my Snapdragon 800 in my Note 3 phone super quick
is the 5420 just as snappy ? Looks such a good screen on the 8.4 and 10.5 Tab S

Reviewers are saying the 5420 wi-fi versions are noticeably faster than the 800 in the LTE. I believe benchmarks show the same.
The 5420 is amazing. Uses all 8 cores at the same time if needed now. They fixed the memory dump issue found in the previous iteration as well.
The only thing I'm bummed about, is the 5433 ( coming out soon)destroys Snapdragon's 805 SoC .... In benchmarks. I wish that processor was in the new Samsung flagship device. Ugh.
According to all the reviews I have read the opposite is true and they are recommending the processor in
the LTE version as the faster of the two.
I have to run to work but quick google search..Engadget ( which I hate) has this to say..
"If it's any consolation, the as-yet-unreleased LTE models are supposed to use a Snapdragon 800 chip instead of the Exynos 5, so maybe performance will be snappier there."
Snapdragon seems to get the most development too.

Anandtech clearly said Samsung made a poor choice with Exynos. They should have gone 801 or 805.
oh well - and 16gb too for UK version - grrrr
still prob going to get one though
maybe it will handle streaming video better than the Snapdragon (well the implementation of it on the Note 3) - after lots of updates, I still can't get smooth streamed video on my Note 3 - youtube, netflix, Sky, Iplayer etc - yet download to phone first (latter 2) - or play local content and smooth as silk
There probably won't be a 32gb version. Samsung said there'd be a 32gb 8.4 pro and there never was.
I can confirm there are LTE versions with Exynos processor, at least mine is so, bought in Spain (10.5"). I could change it for a snapdragon version though, but I'm not sure if it is worth it.

Thanks for your confirmation arbiskar.
It was rumoured the Tab S would be 5420 for WiFi, and 5420 + Intel LTE Modem for LTE models, that seems to coincide with the reports such as yours, that the LTE models is Exynos based only.
I doubt that Snapdragon based LTE models of the Tab S exist, if the LTE model you purchased is 5420, I'm going to assume they all will be...
Model numbers other than the T700, T705, T800 and T805 would need to exist for Snapdragon variants, so I don't believe we will see Qualcomm chips in any of the Tab S models.
Thanks.
Hi,
I ordered a LTE Tab S, in germany it will release on friday the 11 July. Before I ordered I thought all versions will have the Exynos 5 Octa and perhaps an optional LTE Modem. After my order I saw that the LTE version will be a QSD 800
Now you say thete will be LTE and Octa. Is it real? Do you know what version Samsung will sell in germay? I think I have to wait a few weeks before I get my tab S because I bought it with a LTE Contract and the Provider cant give me an info when they get the hardware from Samsung.
Now I don`t know if I should cancel the order and buy me a wifi version because the octa is better or will the QSD 800 ok too?

The sd800 is slightly better than the octacore, so I wouldn't worry.

Apparently, some people here have the LTE version with Exynos, so I'm not so sure.
They announced a new Exynos processor with LTE integrated for future products, but that doesn't mean there isn't a LTE chip in addition to the Exynos SOC in the Tab S LTE versions.
It would be nice if someone could confirm.
I'm also waiting to see if there will be a 32GB.. and which version to get

Someone from Spain said s/he has an Exynos/LTE device. The Spain Samsung site also has the LTE version listed as Exynos.
The announcement yesterday was for a quad-core chip with integrated LTE, not the 5433 next-gen big.LITTLE chip everyone was expecting. Without knowing the GPU of the chip announced yesterday it's hard to say where in the fold it fits (high-end, low-end). There's nothing that's ever prevented Samsung from using Exynos with a stand-alone modem it's just that S-800 with its integrated modem is cheaper. Maybe that's what they're doing in Spain. That or it's a typo and the aforementioned owner "thinks" s/he has Exynos LTE. Everything I've read indicates the S' are using the same S-800/5420 architecture of all Samsung's previously released high-end tablets. So I'm going with typo until someone posts a CPU-Z (available in Play) read out which will say specifically what chip a device is using.
We know there are S-800 SM-T805's because reviewers have tested them. It would be extremely odd that Samsung would give the same model number (Spain's SM-T805 also) to two devices with totally different architectures. They never have before. At a minimum they'd append a letter to it (EG: the N10.1-14 LTE with 700MHz bands sold in Latin America is the "P-SM605M."
As for S-800 being long in tooth, it's not really. The CPU is more than adequate for the workload. Here's a slide from Qualcomm saying 85% of apps don't use two cores better yet four. And the majority of apps never leave the A7 core on 5420.
The challenge is the enormous amount of pixels being pushed on large QHD tablet displays. S-801 uses Adreno 330 just like S-800 so until some SoC with a more powerful GPU is released (released = shipped in a production product) Adreno/Mali is the best we've got and the differences between them performance wise aren't that significant (Mali's about 10% weaker than Adreno when maxed out).
New member here.
Received today my Tab S 8.4 LTE (SM-T705) sold here in Finland. And it is indeed an Exynos 5420.
I don't have a Micro-SIM card for it yet, but it certainly is the LTE version. Does someone know how to check the LTE chip version?
Took captures with CPU Z, but I can't apparently post outside links yet. See them here: pentsin.portaali.org/samsung/ along a photo of the box also claiming 1.9GHz Quad-Core + 1.3GHz Quad-Core.

Exynos Vs Snapdragon, did it slow down your decision?

Hello everyone,
I was so pumped to get the Note 4 and I even pre ordered one. The problem is when I found that my country will get the Snapdragon version. After looking all over the web its clear that the Exynos 5433 is a winner this time and it beats the SC805 by a noticeable score in benchmarks.
Now you might say that benchmarks means nothing and it won't matter BUT the Exynos is 20nm 64bit processor. This mean it will be better when Android L comes out which will support the 64bit. Also since its coming with 20nm vs the 28nm from Snapdragon, it should run efficiently and produce less heat from gaming and heavy use.
What is your thought?

It definitely slowed down my decision but the general consensus is that though the exynos version supports 64 bit it will be locked to 32 bit by Samsung so as not to cause an uproar with the North American Snapdragon users. However there is still an increase in performance in the Exynos version @ 32 bit compared to Snapdragon so really what it comes down to IMO is whether you mind not having LTE Speeds in NA.
Just a heads up there is a rumor floating around about the Snapdragon and Exynos having different Rear Camera Sensors so that needs some further prodding as well.

I live in Qatar and the Exynos version support LTE bands here which are 800/2600. But as you mentioned the camera is another story as well.
What about the battery ? 8 cores vs 4 cores shouldn't the SC-805 have better battery life?
I can wait until Friday the 17th and buy it from Samsung retailer or buy it now off Amazon.com which doesn't come with warranty. I don't need the warranty since I root my phone and trigger the Knox.

what do you mean by big, little ?!
No, i would be happy with either of the two. I would prefer Exynos maybe, because i am using Exynos Tab S 8.4 and all my previous Galaxy phones were Snapdragons. BUT difference is not that big and i am sure that both work the same.
Today I saw it in my carrier's site and for first time they will sell Exynos model.. All Notes before were Snapdragon in Bulgaria.. And I was sceptical about it.. Then I read here what's better, and most people say Exynos is better and the camera is with better sensor.. Hope they are right.

The Octacore version has 2 different clusters, one with 4 cores Cortex A53 which are very efficency and the other has 4 cores Cortex A57 which are very powerfull but use a lot of power, so depending on the load in the CPU it will use a combination of them to be the most balance as possible.

Would you mind taking a screenshot of the back of your Note 4 box and also which Qatar network carrier you with?
Wow thanks everyone I'm glad i made this thread. I was following some Amazon review who mentioned that he received the SM-N910U version and he listed wrong Lte bands that support it. Which he edited just now.
Also this website
http://www.atgsm.com/mobile/Product.aspx?id=2948
Which doesnt seems to be accurate after i tried to match the info with other websites with no luck.
I was looking at the International version which is SM-N910U but it doesn't look like it support 800/2600.
I'm very sorry guys for confusing you all.

They are wrong, if you check in website of Samsung in Hong Kong where they are selling the N910U, in the specs it miss LTE on 800.
I personally am leaning towards sd805 because of more xda support. Otherwise both models are good ( don't forget to check LTE for your region)

I only care about is 700mhz, so I bought 910U coz later on Australia will start use 700mhz for high speed network...

Why are CPU clock speeds in newer phones slower?

So our Droid Turbos have quad core Snapdragon 805s clocked at 2.7 ghz. Newer phones like the S7 and Axon 7 have 820s clocked at 2.15 ghz. Does anyone know why this is considered an upgrade, or is this just another case of OEMs doing whatever they want because the average consumer is too ignorant to care?

Some of the new CPUs are octo-cores instead of quad core, so 8 x 2.15 would be better than 4 x 2.7.
Also, last year's Snapdragon 810 overheated tremendously and for protection, in real life got throttled down to much slower speeds than what Qualcomm claimed. So, with the 820 Qualcomm is being more realistic. (I'm not mentioning our 805, just the current and last year's)
Yet, due to increased effeciancy, the 820 is 54% faster in benchmark scores than the 810.
The new 14nm Snapdragon 820 has a completely different architecture to its predecessor, the 810. It’s comprised of the X12 LTE modem, Kryo CPU, Adreno 530 GPU, Hexagon DSP, and Spectra ISP.
The 64-bit Kryta CPU is one of the bigger changes and will reportedly offer twice the performance of the 810.

The 820s are quad core, so that can't be it. I guess it's just the different architecture. Man, are those Axon 7s tempting. It's got all the right bands to run on Verizon and an unlocked bootloader upon request. I have no legitimate reason to get a new phone right now...but I wish I did.

I just wish it had Qi wireless...
Also for you a Verizon user, even though it has Verizon's and Sprint's bands supposedly Verizon has not yet "approved" it on the network yet? I'm not sure how that works. Is the "approval" process for new SIM cards? But if you stick an already activated SIM card in, will it still work?
ZTE is asking nicely and hoping Verizon will cooperate.

I've done some reading and it seems like the phone mostly works on Verizon, with a few issues that require a reboot to solve. Obviously, things like VoLTE and mms over Wi-Fi don't work, but that doesn't bother me. But yeah, I'd have to re use my activated SIM.
Also, I noticed that on GSM arena it said that the phone had both the same CDMA bands as the Turbo, but I found another site (signal checker or something like that) that said it only had one of them. I'm not sure which is more reliable.

comparison of all the different Tab S2 models?

Hi,
is there a comparison of all the different Tab S2 models?
I do know that SM-T7xx means 4Ah battery, 8" screen, and SM-T8xx means ~6Ah and ~10"... but what other differences are there?
is there a table of specs somewhere?
Second digit is always 1 (0 in Tab S, 1 in Tab S2, future Tab S3 should be 2)
The third digit is
0: 2015 (Exynos 5433), Wifi only
3: 2016 (Snapdragon 652), Wifi only
5:2015 (Exynos 5433), 3G/4G Europe
7: like 5 but north America (I think)
9: 2016 (Snapdragon 652), 3G/4G Europe
So you get
T710
T713
T715
T717
T719
T810
T813
T815
T817
T819
Awesome, that is exactly what I was looking for... Do which processor is the better choice, exynos or snapdragon?
Cheers

Snapdragon 652 is better processor than Exynos 5433. Faster and newer and more power efficient
Mine is SM-T719Y and I bought it in Asia.
Do you know what does "Y" at the end mean?

As I'm in Europe I'm not sure about the non European variants for the 4G/3G that have different bands in different continents. Perhaps the Y is related to that?

As I don't have the "old" Tab S2 I can't compare. But I could do benchmarks or instal games and check difference with online reviews of old model. Or with Exynos Note 4 reviews as 2015 Tab S2 has the same SoC (CPU & GPU) than Exynos version of Note 4. Just tell me which program are you interested in. I can't promise anything but when I have time I will try

Second digit is always 1 (0 in Tab S, 1 in Tab S2, future Tab S3 should be 2)
The third digit is
0: 2015 (Exynos 5433), Wifi only
3: 2016 (Snapdragon 652), Wifi only
5:2015 (Exynos 5433), 3G/4G Europe
7: like 5 but north America (I think)
9: 2016 (Snapdragon 652), 3G/4G Europe
So you get
T710
T713
T715
T717
T719
T810
T813
T815
T817
T819

There's also a, "Barnes & Noble," edition in the US but no one seems to know its model number. I presume its different as the firmware will have all of the B&N bloat.
[QUOTE='[Lemmy]That's what I read too. But it also said the older tablet had better graphics performance... Is that actually noticeable?

I've installed 3Dmark benchmark and in Sling Shot ES 3.1 test my TabS2 SD652 get
877 points
while Exynos Tab S2
710
Galaxy Note 4 (same SoC than Exynos Tab 2) get 693
So in that test Qualcomm SD GPU is better.

Anyone got Antutu and Antutu 3D numbers for the T71x?

My nexus 10 scored 160 in the same test, so now I know what to expect.
Thanks!

Which Samsung Galaxy Note8 is the best for use in Canada the SD 835 or Exynos 8895?

So the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Dual Sim & 256GB Internal Storage Maple Gold/Blue Colour is not available in Canada at the moment, so I have to order it through my parents who will bring it for me from abroad.
There are two Dual Sim and 256GB variants of the Galaxy Note8 that are available to me, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 (which is from Hong Kong Region) and the Samsung Exynos 8895 version (from UAE/Gulf Region).
I am more interested in the Samsung Exynos 8895 version from UAE/Gulf Region because Battery Life is one of my main priorities and I am more into Multi-Tasking than Gaming. Though I do game during my leisure time like Clash of Clans, Miniclip games, etc.
So will I be able to use the Exynos 8895 Variant from UAE/Gulf Region seamlessly in Canada? LIKE I really want the "SAMSUNG PAY" TO WORK IN CANADA, GALAXY APPS STORE, AND ALL OTHER FEATURES with ease.
Or "Samsung Pay" only works if I buy a Galaxy Note8 from Canada???!
Or IS IT MORE WISE TO GET THE SNAPDRAGON 835 Hong Kong version to use in Canada, because most android devices here have SD chipsets?
And which is the Best in terms of Battery Life, Camera, Multi Tasking, some Gaming, SD 835 or Exynos 8895 for the Galaxy Note8 for use in Canada??
And I intend to use the phone for the next 3 to 4 years, as Im spending about $1000 on this phone.
If anything I would be concerned in what bands it supports and whether those bands will work with the Canadian carrier you are with. Secondly, Samsung Pay is not readily available in Canada. I think only CIBC users with CIBC credit cards can use Samsung Pay at the moment. No one else can.
