I had Samsung phone with exynos, that thing barely lasts one day on battery. My low-end MotoG can take three days...
In EU Samsung has really bad reputation for putting exynos into high-end Galaxy phones in Europe. There is no way to check before buying, and your phone may last 30% less on battery. It was pretty well documented!
Main reason I will never buy Samsung phone again!
- fredgrott 3y agoyou mean you cannot go to the Samsung website and find out, such as this page: https://semiconductor.samsung.com/us/processor/showcase/smartphone/ https://semiconductor.samsung.com/us/processor/showcase/smar... Ah ah just a simple change on the upper right from US to EMEA to get Europe
- Tee3993 3y agoNo I can't. Shop advertises something like Samsung Galaxy S10 4G Pink. Exact batch numbers are simply not advertised. Only way to check is to open box, start the phone and check About Screen. I had similar problem with cheap Lenovo. Chinese models were sold in EU, but would not support all local 4G frequencies. But doing this bait&switch with flagship phone is unacceptable!!
- numpad0 3y agoYou don't have to open the box, there's usually just one model per market or carrier and the model number should be on the label as well...
- minorannoyance2 3y agoThis in no way makes the situation ok, but in my experience the full model number is always possible to find both for shops and contracts and a quick google shows which model has which chip. Most people simply don't care enough and/or are not aware of the difference and don't check this.
