The exynos model is alot better for battery life than the s9. As mentioned above the exynos model will usually run smoother and have better battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chronzy:
Just got my S10e G970F setup and updated to the new patch with Feb security. This thing flies. Repeat.. no performance issues in casual use and I'm not sure under what conditions there would be issues. I'm sure Pubg runs just fine. Feels a noticable step faster than my Pixel 3, which is exactly what I was expecting. Full day battery test tomorrow..

Benchmarks are nothing.

(And really liking this phone so far)
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Intratech:
Does it heat up noticeably when playing games?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrPhilo:
In theory the Exynos will be better than the Snapdragon for opening apps and mostly daily use due to the better single core performance. Only when it stresses all the CPU is when the Snapdragon will win which hardly happens.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Duncan1982:
What are the Snapdragon Scores? I have just seen a geekbench test of the Exynos 9820 and it's perfectly fine....:good:
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Duncan1982:
So here are the Snapdragon 855 benchmarks ..., Why is everyone being so negative on the Exynos when it beats the Snapdragon 855 by a big margin on Single core and almost the same on multi core?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Corv0:
Geekbench isn't enough, that's like comparing the top speed of two different cars and saying "they both get to 220km/h", without counting acceleration and other parameters.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Duncan1982:
I'm not the one that is slamming the Exynos, nor the Snapdragon, but many here are without the information you clearly require, yea graphics test ect ect, I don't even buy into these or Antutu personally.

I bought the S10+ yes mine will be the Exynos, I doubt I'll be extremely disappointed lol

I'm not flaming just confused as to why the Snapdragon blows the Exynos out if the water,? In which Specific area's?

No I don't want to watch an app opening YouTube video, nor some idiot doing a boot up test.

I'd like to see a tech engineer with a degree in the field , that can run tests on the chip oh wait even then variables come into play when it comes to SOC from my basic knowledge, so to wrap this up .....

Who cares the Exynos will and is fast as is the Snapdragon, which one performs the best will have so many variables as no two chips are the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] welcomyou:
Could you help to show battery test result?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] nomailx:
The GPU (Mali G76) on the Exynos 9820 cant even beat the Snapdragon 820's 2 years old Adreno 530! You should definitely stay away from Exynos. Don't even mention that the Exynos is 8nm, while SD855 is 7nm which also means huge difference in cpu and battery life.

How come Samsung gets away with this?

If you're in the EU, just wait for the One Plus 7 or Xperia 1, or anything else with a Snapdragon, rather than Exynos.

in xda people talking about a snapdragon? this is locked bootloader, is for basic users only.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 14eduardo144:
No difference in real world

Here's a video I just watched that I feel is better example of a real world speed test

https://youtu.be/pgzlopyABBA
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paradoxxx:
You seem to forget that there is the Chinese version with unlocked bootloader. I picked one up and I love it.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Davey Dual Sim:
In the real world who notices these differences dug out from lab tests? I use my phone for work, some very big shared Google docs and an app that requires full res onsite photos.

This phone eats these things for dust and is the fastest phone I've had with no lag

The 8gb memory surely more significant than these lab tests.

No one can feel or see these things yet many getting annoyed and numbers in a report, I don't get it
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] nomailx:
That's because he compares the GPUs with Asphalt 9 which also works without stutter on a 2 years old GPU. (SD835). That game is really not demanding.

He should have compared these with the latest korean releases at 90 plus FPS, high end graphics.

Here's what will happen in the real world. This year, a high end game (any new korean rpg like black desert mobile for example), will release world wide. The game will stutter on max graphics on a S10 EU, while playing great on a S10 US.

And according to the Benchmark tests in the OP, this will be chronic in all new Unity engine games releases.

So if you dont play games, you may not care and think "well, apps open at the same speed, so who cares?". But then, why did you purchase a Galaxy? Just for the looks?

But the moment you think that the CPU/GPU performance is important, then why would you settle for a lesser version of the exact same phone just because you live in the EU? (Just the fact that one unit is 8nm and the other is 7nm is sufficient proof in difference regarding performance and battery life).

It shouldnt matter if anyone is "ok as long as they can browse". Samsung shouldn't sell phones with lesser processor units to one region, and better units to another, just by principle.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] matheus_sc:
s9 have this too, but have south america too, i have one here. But after 8 months have 1 kernel. And exynos have oficial los support.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paradoxxx:
I'd rather have a phone that works properly, gets me through the whole day without any issues and performs as expected, than LOS. Maybe it's just me, but after S8 and S9 on Exynos, I am done with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gabrielgon:
Bad news for all the exynos variant regions like me. Phone Arena published an article comparing both SOCs and one of the tests was a battery test, and the exynos version lasted exactly 10% less than the snapdragon one :c

https://www.phonearena.com/news/Galaxy-S10-Exynos-vs-S10-Snapdragon-Which-is-better_id114719

As far as I know this is the first battery test comparison between both SOCs on the phone, if you know other ones, please share.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] damenchoy:
I read some threads about using 6T fingerprint sensor to unlock some banking apps without any issues. However, how about password management app like SafeInCloud that supports to be unlocked by fingerprint sensor? Does the fingerprint sensor also being able to unlock SafeInCloud?

Actually, I am quite new to this new technology. When you about to unlock any App using the 6T fingerprint sensor, does it display the fingerprint image overlaying the original App display so that you can press your fingerprint on it? Would there be compatibility issues with some Apps?

Anyone can advise?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] AF241:
I use fingerprint login on SafeInCloud on 6T and and a few different banking apps that support fingerprint login and it works fine. You have to enable fingerprint authentication within the apps. The apps do display fingerprint image over the sensor.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] kingm3@live.com:
First of all I appreciate any and all help on this matter. My problem is simple yet the solution escapes me. My phone starts up fine works fine and there are no problems....until I wake it up from sleep. The phone itself comes on and I can tell that the screen wakes up, but there's no blacklight, just a very dark home screen. So far the only annoying thing i have to do is reset it and it works fine again....until it goes back to sleep. I guess my question is, is this an issue that can be resolved (software). Or is it unfixable without screen replacement (hardware).
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
You need to test a few things beforehand.

Does it only produce this issue if the screen times out, or by manually pressing the power key to turn the screen off, or both?

Does the screen appear dim when you wake it up via the power button, hard pressing the home button to wake, or using your fingerprint scanner to turn on and unlock your device or a combination of those listed?

I would try safe mode.

You can boot into safe mode by following the below instructions:

1. Power off your device in question

2. Press and hold the power button to turn on the phone

3. When the Samsung logo disappears, release the power key and press and hold the volume down key

4. Continue holding the volume down key until the phone has finished restarting

5. You should now be in safe mode and can verify by looking in the bottom left of the screen for text that states you're in safe mode

After you have successfully booted into safe mode you need to allow your screen to turn off manually, automatically, or both(whichever results in a dim screen when normally booted up) when testing the below steps.

Turn your screen on via the power button and see if the issue remains.

Turn your screen on via the hard press to wake home button (not sure if this is available from safe mode, but worth a try) and see if the issue remains.

Turn your screen on via the fingerprint sensor (not sure if this works from safe mode either) and see if the issue remains.

If all successfully turn on the screen with normal brightness then I would say it's more than likely NOT a hardware issue. If one or the other does not produce normal screen brightness then it's more than likely hardware. If all result in a dim screen then it could be either hardware or corrupt software.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] kingm3@live.com:
The problem is reproduced irregardless of the method used to put the phone to sleep. I will give it a try in safe mode tonight. I also wanted to add that randomly the screen will power on normally but never on the first wake attempt.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
Let me know the results of safe mode once you have tried that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] kingm3@live.com:
It still reproduces the problem in safe mode. i tried to wake it with the power button, home buttonand the fingerprint sensor... also under forced sleep mode and letting it time out itself.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
At this point, it's more than likely hardware but because it's intermittent you could try using Odin to flash firmware. I would advise you to look to the appropriate forum for instructions. And as always, if you have the ability then backup the data you wish to keep, do it prior to flashing the software.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] kingm3@live.com:
Well I figured it out. there was damage to the sensor that determines how light or dark it is. If I cover the top part of the screen with my finger then wake the device, it comes on every time. I hope this helps other people out in the future.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
Try this then:

Under display settings turn off "Block accidental touches"

See if that results in not having to block your sensor every time.

**Edit**

By the way, glad you figured it out.

[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] turbotechX:
I obtained an XT1766 (Qualcomm) with build NCQS26.69-64-11 from an mvno called Tello (aka Sprint). The state that all the phones they sell are unlocked. The SIM say Sprint on it. When I asked if I could use it on a GSM carrier they said it is only CDMA compatible.

The XT1766 spec clearly shows it is GSM capable, and Sprint themselves state that they can unlock the phone for at least international GSM, and US GSM after a set amount of time.

I installed a GSM SIM, and the phone report "Hidden Menu" Invalid SIM.

My questions:

1) Is Tello in denial that the SIM is unlocked? It seems GSM locked to me.

2) Does this phone have an Android build created by Motorola that disables GSM?

3) Is the only way to enable GSM is to unlock the bootloader and install custom OS?

4) If the phone is "locked", the Motorola will not give a key to unlock the bootloader. Correct?

5) Can this CDMA sprint based phone be used for other CDMA carriers such as verizon?

Sorry for all the questions. I am new to how these things operate.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
Can't use it on gsm anymore. The new update locked it up tight. You can still unlock the bootloader. But custom ROMs aren't going to help. They closed that hole right up.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] turbotechX:
What is the build number that locked up the GSM function?
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
Either -08 or -10 were the end numbers of the build that did it. Can't go back either. It set an efuse. No amount of downgrading can undo it. It's been tried. To the point of bricks. Sorry bro.

No longer works for domestic unlock if you have late 2018/2019 security updates. You can only unlock it for foreign use

AFAIK no foreign either. Feb 2019 wont lock the device to sprint but it wont unlock you with C.Roms. Jun 2019 will lock the device and no way to unlock it to be used either in the US or outside. Just Sprint by now.

Again... As far as i know. Correct me if i'm wrong please.
