So far with my research, the Snapdragon is 20% faster in multi-core operation and 3% behind in Single-core mode.... so some features like AI will be better on the Exynos... but if you play games or render video, the Snapdragon is the clear winner.... My main concern is do I even want to root the phone?!? I lost root on my s8 within the past year and I havent found a need to redo it (since I have the wipe the phone its a PITA)...... I can preorder in the United States right now and trade-in my phone... If I decide to root the phone...I'd want to buy the Exynos verison, which would affect any trade-ins......... Last time I bought the Exynos S8 verison and it has lasted pretty good... I am still using it now however my back in cracked up some and a small crack on the front upper corner that cannot be seen in its case.... So I expect to only get $120 trade in for it.... now, if they will do multiple trade-ins I still have my old S7 as well.... even still... for a S20+ 512gb phone I am looking at $900-$1000 for the phone outright... and then $1300 if i elect to get the Exynos verision if I want to root it eventually...
Decisions Decision... and I am sure most of us in the US are in this situation.... I like the depth sensor so the S20 is out... and the size and weight of the Ultra, plus the fact that I will doubt i will ever use the 108mp mode... the S20+ is big enough coming from the S8.... so only thing left is which CPU?!? I hear the SnapDragon will also be better on Battery life as well... since both chipsets have four ARM Cortex-A55 cores, but where the Snapdragon 865 complements the package with four additional cores based on the ARM Cortex-A77 architecture, the Exynos 990 features two Exynos M5 custom cores and two older ARM Cortex-A76 cores.
