I'm a little bit confused...Here are so many names of this phone right? Gee/Geeb/Geehrc/gproj...
So, what's the difference among them?
I don't know where the names come from (possibly LG internal model names?)
but they're the variants like AT&T/Sprint, Verizon, various versions of the International and Korean models.
For the Internationals, the only difference is modem/baseband support, Korean models have a slightly different memory structure from the Internationals and the US carrier phones have completely different hardware in things like camera as well as baseband/modem..
hi. i have been looking out for this device as im really interested. made some threads here as well. and here is my findings for the new comers or for people interested but confused about the Chipset variants.
EXYNOS variants.
All Tab S, 10.5 and 8.4 have Exynos variants, Be it Wi-Fi only or 3G only or LTE.
3G variants have Data connectivity but only 3G (duh...) LTE means 4G LTE but NON-US Lte bands.
Exynos, did not have data modem in it and thats why previously we only saw this chipset in the wifi only models for samsung tabs.
now they have introduced an Intel/Broadcomm Modem in this chipset and hence the 2or3Grams difference in weight of 3G and wifi model.
u will find, both 32Gb and 16 Gb variants with this chipset so beware!
SNAPDRAGON variants:
there is NO 16Gb snapdragon variant. simple. untill u get the Sprint US model.
there is NO wifi only model with this chipset. u only get the LTE and US LTE model.
this would be only 32Gb model and it would state that on the box, or it would only be any carrier model
my advise, before buying the tab, if u really interested in getting the Snapdragon one, DO CONFIRM IT FROM THE BOX AND SELLER! be it from some store or from some individual selling it.
hope i helped a little
I have Snapdragon version and it is 16GB.
I bought it in Slovakia (Orange)
There is a recent article from Androidcentral that indicates that the Galaxy S9 variant with the Snapdragon 845 is faster than the variant with the Exynos 9810.
https://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s9-tested-exynos-9810-vs-snapdragon-845
Can anyone confirm if the results are correct?
Based on this feedback and without concern over supported base-bands, I am wondering if there is any other other reason to choose an Exynos variant over a Snapdragon variant.
Would it be safe to assume that the G9650 Dual Sim variant (I think from China or Korea) would be the best option? (Its also considerably cheaper than the G965FD)
That does seem to be the case.
I've seen some real world speed test videos and they're neck and neck.
The Exynos isn't locked either and supports faster LTE. I'd probably go SD845 if you could but if you want to tweak the phone or care about sound quality the Exynos 9810 is the way to go.
hey everybody. I access to both versions of galaxy a50(6gb 128gb and 4gb 128gb) and I guess 6gb version is for India and Philippines and 4gb is for EU, so my question is if the 6gb version gets the updates in the same time that 4gb gets them? cause my previous phone(HTC one m8) was Asian version and it always got the updates a few months after EU version or even didn't got them
next question is both versions have same hardwares? (except RAM)
thanks.
Bands are probably different and you won't have b20 for lte in Europe.
Question is the same as the title, are there other users on XDA who have considered upgrading or buying the Snapdragon Dual Sim Note 10+ over the N975F?. I am aware of the general uniqueness of the Hong Kong/Latin American/Brazilian Snapdragon devices as they have unlocked bootloaders compared to their US and Canadian counterparts. I've been doing research on these phones ever since I knew of the existence of the HK Note 8.
Development wise these N9xx0 devices don't see much development due to the rarity/relative uniqueness of these versions, but I was curious if anyone was checking for this to use instead of the Exynos Note 10+ in the US, Canada, UK, Australia and the rest of the world. I'm particularly interested in hearing from people on AT&T, T-Mobile and their respective MVNOs as I am considering getting this one to use on MetroPCS. In terms of bands I wonder if it will work out of the box similar to a user who had his Hong Kong S10+ work on T-Mobile with Wi-Fi calling/VoLTE even with the TGY CSC.
If they have an oem Bootloader Unlock like the S10's did I will definitely be getting that model over the F. There is still a shocking distance between the two chips in benchmarks, the snapdragon versions performing 20% better than the exynos versions. I will hold out for some extended use testing to come out, but it seems unlikely to change the data much. I need as much performance as I can get from my chip, and I don't really need custom roms to achieve a smooth workflow or customized experience.

BTW I don't worry much about bands with any of the new flagships coming out. You can verify on frequency checker, but most phones these days come with the same modems in all models. My last phone was a Chinese model Mate 20 X and it had no problem with international roaming on Google fi and got 4g on any chip I threw at it.
Idont know where you plan to use your device, but in many forums of other samsung devices, people getting devices from other countries, have sometimes problems regarding bands, carrier services, software updates, and most important no way to claim warranty
Mainland China = SG chip / 5G / 256gb / dual sim / limited bands
Hong Kong = SG chip / LTE only / 512gb / dual sim / limited bands
US unlocked = SG chip / LTE only / 512gb / single sim / full bands
In my case, I want dual sim but HK version doesn’t have LTE 66 and 71 which T-Mobile uses. So I am still debating.
