A pity they're still using the same old ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. The only thing that ruins the Note 10+ for me and why I'm switching back to iPhone this year.

Anonymous, 07 Aug 2020Hopefully the exynos version will not be much worse compare... moreSamsung said they changed some things inside it to make it better. But not calling it 990+ or some other name, makes me believe that it will be the same bad case scenario like in S20 series.
The problem is not that the Exynos 990 is performing bad in some scenarios, the problem is Samsung are choosing to do this deliberately (having two chipsets for two different areas). Is like saying : "We don't care about you poor bastards in Europe". So, me as a consumer from Europe, why should I care about a company like that?!

Balaji, 07 Aug 20201. It's not good that are different processors for dif... moreI started using Samsung first Generation Note and enjoyed it’s Exynos processors until Note 9 (skipped few iterations), never faced any issues at all. I must confess I am no gamer but use heavily for videos, cameras, browsing, social media, emails, document reading etc...In today’s world as far as performance is concerned there are many things matter, my iPhone 11Pro Max & Xs Max struggle loading apps like OLX, Browsers, while my Mate 20 Pro flies like anything for my type of usage.Your choice of network, your WiFi Modem speed, the Website servers and its respective implementation, latency, security (encryption) etc come into play. So let’s not fool ourselves thinking that SD is better than Exynos......I used SD in Note 5 which also felt fantastic... these just branding and mind game to boost their margins...

wasox, 07 Aug 2020No, you talk as if an exynos 990 was an utterly inferior S... moreThe performance difference would not be a problem for most users. But many users complain about the phone heating while using the camera or simlpe tasks like this which I would honestly hate. I love my phone cold. Also, the battery is as well worse, which is anyway not excellet. So I did not want to take the risk and just bought the US version although in region Exynos is sold. I would buy Exynos again just when it matches Snapdragon.

Hopefully the exynos version will not be much worse compared to the snapdragon, since I am not in the US. Waiting for full review. Thanks GSMArena

1. It's not good that are different processors for different counties.
2. India we are paying out more price than countries but not getting snapdragon.
3. OS and UI upgrade is not good when compared with 1+.
Samsung is far behind than competitors. Eventhough spending double amount than 1+ but no use.

I'm very curious about something.... I hardly use my note 10 because of the feel of it now. Have to use that nasty feeling film screen protector. Hate touching that thing. Sorry, just my thoughts. Are we gonna have to resort to that again?

Although I totally agree that samsung should use the snapdragon 865+ in all countries or at least the 5nm exynos 992.

I just don't understand why they would give the vanilla note 20 a plastic back. It even makes last year's note 10 look good.
