TAB S2- Exynos (2015.) vs Snapdragon (2016.)- is there any sense to buy new one?

I brought it in store. It seems like they're selling both versions as the same product, so it's luck of the draw what version you will receive if you order online.
Your best bet is to visit your local Currys / PC World, that way you can check the model number on the box before you buy.
Thanks mate, hoping to get one tomorrow :D

I have the 713 for about a day and no issues with performance. Everything is smooth. Antutu scored about 78000 and geekbench was like 1400 single and 4800 multi.

Do you have your 3D score from that Antutu run?

Here are my T710 results

Antutu 3D :12196
Antutu UX :15974
Antutu CPU :18075
Antutu RAM :5322

Geekbench 3 Single Core: 1227
Geekbench 3 Multi Core : 4119

Just a quick note: Keep in mind that the new Snapdragon devices are coming with Android 6.0.1. That means that the new models (and every other device coming with MM preinstalled) are encrypted by factory default, which could affect performance too.

To be get actual, comparable benchmark results both variants need to be on 6.0.1 and either be decrypted or encrypted. Also it is a 32bit Sytem (Exynos) vs 64 (Snapdragon), but I don't know how much or if this affects the benchmark results.

Both devices running 6.0.1. I was pleasantly surprised that the Snapdragon beat the Exynos in 3D. My understanding was that it was slower.

T810 Antutu:
Main = 69120
3D = 15734
UX = 24903
CPU = 23043
RAM = 5440

T813 Antutu:
Main = 79350
3D = 17795
UX = 28664
CPU = 25174
RAM = 7717

I have both the 710 and 713.

Not only are ALL the Antutu benchmarks higher for the 713 (including every sub-number), a game I play frequently (Vikings War of Clans) loads up in 19.05 seconds vs. 26.36 on the 710. I have the exact same apps installed on both devices and rebooted before the test.

Also, using the Samsung Smart Manager widget, the RAM usage goes lower on the 713 when you tap clean and, most important, seems to to stay much lower overall. This is great because, on the 710, RAM usage would frequently climb into the 80s.

Also, the look of Android 6.01 is nicer too, more muted colors. And maybe since I'm starting with Android 6 I'll get updates up to v8?!

One thing/tip - for the first time ever I let Google restore my apps and settings from the 710. I had problems with Gmail and Google Play Services that I couldn't fix. So I factory reset and installed apps individually and everything works fine.

Luckily I'm still within the return period for the 710 so I'm keeping the 713 for sure!

Here are my numbers:

710
Score 63,717
3D 14,530
UX 21,129
CPU 21,861
RAM 6,197

713
Score 78,481
3D 17,840
UX 28,869
CPU 24,150
RAM 7,622

How's your battery life on the 713?
