                    I don't know why people complain about Exynos...its really a great processor...!
                    The previous generations of Exynos were crap just like their previous generation AMOLEDs displays , but just look at the AMOLEDS now...they are the best displays available right now...so as the new generation Exynos is much better , way better than any Snapdragons...!
                    I have Note 3 Exynos version...it doesn't overheat and battery life is also excellent...

                            Recently exynos chipsets have proven to perform better than qualcomm solutions and now they also support 4G so there's nothing to explain.
                            Anyway keep in mind that overall performance of both chipsets is nearly identical so stop fight!!

                                Why is everyone so hung up over the 810? Why all this talk about the 810 all the time? Isn't the 7420 just as good? Both are allegly standard ARM.

                                    Oh dear - Sammy must be burning the chipsets from cheating in benchmarks! Perhaps Samsung should lower the clock speed of the snapdragon 810 instead of running it at maximum!
