[Q] CPU question - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I just bought a Tab S 10.5 LTE version. I found out only now that the CPU varies between models, so now I wonder, will mine come with a Snapdragon or an Exynos?
It wasn't written on the description.

Use an app called cpuz to find out what chipset you have and everything about your device.

Yeah I will. But the thing is it will arrive in 3-4 days so the doubt is strong
I was just wondering whether 100% of LTE versions have the snapdragon.

If you bought LTE version, it will be snapdragon 100%. Exynos doesnt have LTE support.

Snapdragons is exclusive to u.s carriers

wrong, here in Sweden both WiFi and LTE uses Exynos 5420, with LTE support thanks to the Intel LTE chip.

All right thanks. That's a bummer :|

From what I've read the CDMA US carriers (vzw + Sprint) have snapdragons, the others have exynos.

As far as my understanding goes, all S models are Exynos for now.
Pro line is Snapdragon.
I think only certain US Carriers use the Snapdragon chip Tab S LTE.
this chipset exynos 5420 is 3g in general no 4g lte .this is new 5420 with lte included or lte has dedicated chipset ?
becuase my note 3 n900 exynos 5420 support only 3g freq. but 5420 in this tablet support 4g let
if use another chipset just for lte power consumption is too much more than 3g
as i know, the tab S model use intel chip to support 4g
I have not (yet) read on any Samsung site of any Tab S using Snapdragon. To avoid any future confusion, I suggest to forget the other sites, and go straight to the source themselves (Samsung) .....

I wish the moderators would fix this forum. It lists the Snapdragon 800 SoC in the tech spec details(above the individual forums)

Maybe they are oblivious to it and need to be informed. You could contact them and ask.
Gsmarena is one of these sites
The mods know about the Snapdragon issue. Because Snapdragon is offered in some limited markets they say it should remain. I don't agree as the vast majority of these devices are Exynos. It is misleading but they won't change it.

I could only suggest that they need to " amend " the description, not " omit ". Just add Exynos to it, that's all. Or go the " hard " way and have separate forums same as other devices .... End of confusion
I thought AT&T were getting the snapdragon LTE models. May be wrong though.

Samsung.com doesn't list any Qualcomm specs for the T700/T705/T800, says they're all Exynos™ 5 Octa (1.9Ghz Quadcore + 1.3 Ghz Quadcore).
The only possible Tab S with a Snapdragon is the T805.
Does anybody on this forum have a Snapdragon Tab S?

I just ordered the Sprint variant of the Tab S 10.5 (SPHT807TAB) yesterday, and it uses the Snapdragon 800 (MSM8974). Unsure if the other carriers have/will release it.

So the T807 is the Snapdragon model.
How's the performance?

It shipped out today, so I most likely won't know until Monday or Tuesday. But I'd imagine the performance will be just like my Note 3 since it's the same SoC and memory.

Yes, please keep us informed.
I picked up the WIFI version a few days ago after seeing it posted here that BB was discounting the 32GB. I am not noticing any significant lags other than within certain apps that I have also noticed it my Note 8. I would be torn over which to choose, the Snapdragon/Sprint or the 32GB version.
Incidentally, if you chose the the monthly option @ $27 (total $650) , did it also include the cellular plan for 2 years or was that additional? (Update:Never mind, found the answer on the Sprint website)
My Tab S from sprint will be here shortly. I will post back about its performance. I am trying to find out if there is a root method that works for this model.

So far, even with the crap-bloatware Samsung/Sprint like to pile on, and the memory-monster-TouchWiz; this tablet is performing quite well. The Snapdragon definitely makes up for all of the aforementioned annoyances. Certainly more responsive and 'snappy' than the Exynos variant that I've messed around with. I can't wait to see how fast this is going to be running once we have root and custom kernels.
I do find it odd that they went back to the old USB 2.0 port vs the duel 3.0 port though; I get great charge times with my Note 3 using that.

My T705 is not a Snapdragon, it's a Exynos?

I recently got a Samsung Galaxy Tab S, the SM-T705 model. It's a 16GB Titanium Bronze 4G LTE model, but when I was looking at the hardware specs, I noticed - it's not a Snapdragon. It's Exynos5420! I hit up Wikipedia and other well known sources and it says "The T705 uses Snapdragon 800 series chipset". That's false, at least for my device.
So, I'm thinking that Samsung wanted to use Snapdragon for their Tab S LTE devices, but ran into issues with various things and switched to their own chipset and modem implementation. I always thought Samsung used another chipset for 4G LTE devices, because they couldn't get it working with their own.
Is my T705 a newer version or something? I noticed in /proc/cpuinfo it says "Hardware: Universal5420 Revision: A" ... that would mean it's been through 10 hardware revisions (A in hex is 10 in decimal, AFAIK)
Samsung Exynos doesn't have LTE support. So they used to have Snapdragon with built in LTE, but now developed a solution for their Exynos with an accompanying chip for that.
I believe the ones with 32 GB internal memory are the snapdragon versions. I got a T805 16 GB and its Exynos, and I am disappointed because I cannot play 4k video like my Snapdragon Note 3.
The only snapdragon variants are the two US CDMA models--- SM-T807V and SM-T807P for Verizon and Sprint respectively.
Yes if you can connect to LTE then your cpu is snapdragon.
I would say incorrect here, because my device has LTE and its clocks match the Exynos WiFi version. So I am led to believe it was just a doll of the dice. It plays 10bit 720p MKVs fine, handy when i want to watch anime away from my desktop.
Mine is LTE capable with Exynos.

AT&T LTE TAB S is not Snapdragon either.
My T705 LTE is exynos as well (unfortunately). Samsung uses an Intel chip set to do both 2g,3g and 4g and disables the mobile support in the exynos. The Intel chip does not cope very well with 3g/4g handover.

Use an app called cpuz. It should tell you if you have snapdragon or not.

SM-T705M here, it's an Exynos that has 4G, now how cool is that?
Enviado do meu Galaxy Tab S
Same here
My t705 is an exynos with sim card slot. However it has a problem. It never recognizes the sim. I've tried another Samsung based rom but it still does not work. Anyone experience this?
Is the sim a nano sim in an micro adapter maybe? I had this issue with mine. It's well fussy about alignment.
Just make sure the SIm is clean and you may want to check to ensure no loose onjects got into the SIM Card slot. If you are using custom firmware, make sure you use one for T705. Wifi only firmware doesnt have the drivers for the LTE chip.

Where did you buy it ? I mean with Snapdragon 2.3 ? Thanks, Mike
SM-T705 is Exynos edition with LTE support and capable of playback 4K video without single issue.

[Q] Tab S 8.4 as a phone. Which version?

I'm in the US and most of the US tablets have the cellphone functions disabled. I'm on AT&T Currently with a Huawei Mediapad X1 (LTE doesn't work, but HSPA+ seems decent enough)
It seems that if I get an international version the phone stuff is enabled, but then LTE probably won't work in the US?
Just looking for some direction as I'm only planning on buying the Tab S 8.4 if I can use it as my phone as well, I have no need to carry 2 devices.
I'm also finding it hard to tell which versions have the Snapdragon CPU. From what I can tell the CPU performance between Exynos and Snapdragon seems about the same, but the GPU performance of the Snapdragon seems much better. I do play a fair amount of games.
Thanks!
I am not great on the version numbers but T705 is the standard exynos 4G version.
I would say go for one where you can get a firmware for the UK or somewhere else.
My T805 (10.5" exynos 4G) has all the phone functions.

Is your T805 a US model?
So if I pickup a US LTE version can I just root it and add back the dialer app to make it work as a phone? Or do they lock out the phone functions some other way in the US?
Mine is a UK T805, but if it is actually that model, so a T705. It will be Exynos 4G. You got a few websites you are looking on that I can look at the models for you?

If I get an international one from Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LVUUM6A/ref=gno_cart_title_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1QPS08K9FKKNF
That should work fine as a phone and the LTE ones should be snapdragon 800 equipped.
The issue is these international ones won't work with LTE bands in the US
So that's why i'm wondering if I get a US one (LTE bands will work in the US of course) can I somehow get the software on it to be able to use as a phone (As the US disables phone capability somehow)
My current phone is a Chinese LTE phone, the LTE does not work in the US, but I do get HSPA+ which is decent enough, It would just be nice to have US LTE and Phone working...
What network are you using, can check what Bands they are using?

I'm on AT&T, I already know the international LTE phones won't work on the AT&T LTE Bands. I'll just have to live with HSPA+
So you would be getting a T707A if you got the AT&T specific one. or a T705 for the international.
There are no T707A custom ROMs, only for rooting. I guess it will not have phone software Regardless of the version of software on samfirmware.
T705 will do 3G nicely, where I live I get HSPA+ and its quick - only get 4G in town.

Pretty much what I figured, I will just get the T705 international one and just live with HSPA+
From what I can tell all the T705 are snapdragon 800's, That Amazon link doesn't say what CPU it has. I'm pretty sure i'd rather have the snapdragon over the Exynos as the GPU appears to be way faster.
I think you will find the T705 is an exynos. Dont be fooled as with the intel modem they put exynos in their 4G versions.

Hmmm, Exynos CPU seems fast enough, its the GPU I keep hearing is severely lacking with such a high resolution.....
I haven't had issues myself - I have found it fast. Especially if you disable any crap that comes with it you don't need.

Not sure why this is in Verizon but which model are you using? The international unlocked GSM or a foreign carrier?

Whose your carrier? I know for example with AT&T my brother had crappy signal until he called and had LTE provisioned.
Verizon is CDMA so the amount of info here might be limited.

What variant?

What variant should you buy if you want to root with att and has the Snapdragon processor? Bands would also have to work for signal

Anyone? Is it the f or the DS variant? Or maybe b?
I'm not positive but usually you need Exynos processor to root. That means you'll be the UK or International variant which is usually the F.
It's very unlikely there will be root for the Snapdragon processor if it's carrier unlocked, much less likely if it is at&t flavored. Those were the good old days.
I was planing on getting the note 10 5g before this phone and the "better" one was the China version... They had snapdragon devices rooted in those threads
