I am planning to buy a Samsung Galaxy Note 4... But its two different versions are a bit confusing...

Firstly, here are the things that I know about both these versions...

The Exynos 5433 (ARMv8) is a 64-bit Octacore processor and the Snapdragon 805 (ARMv7) is a 32-bit Quadcore processor. And I am not sure but I guess the Mali T760 is also somewhat better than the Adreno 420...

So I think the Exynos version of Note 4 is better... Am I correct or not?

http://www.sammobile.com/2014/10/16/samsung-announces-the-exynos-7-octa-a-64-bit-octa-core-chip-with-cortex-a53a57-cores/

http://www.tomshardware.com/news/samsung-note-exynos-snapdragon-armv8,27688.html

But according to these websites, even though the exynos is a 64 bit processor, its A57 cores are not activated as 64-bit... so it will be working only in the 32 bit mode... The reason being, there is no android OS that supports 64-bit as of now... That's totally fine...

But Android Lollipop supports 64-bit mode... So even if I buy the phone now itself, the galaxy note (exynos version) will eventually receive that update, so once I update it, will it work in the 64-bit mode? Or will it continue to work in 32-bit mode forever?

And if there's any other phone that u guys think is better than Note 4, please let me know along with the reason...

Thank you in advance... :D

snapdragon is the best chipset in general

the main reason 64bit chips are being used it because.. 64bit chips allow system to utilize more that 4gb ram

since todays high end chips have 3gb ram.. it wont make a difference even after android is updated

gpu wise malit760 is better no doubt
but cpu wise snapdragon is way better

Yeah u r right to a great extent...

But the benchmarks say something different...

Inspite of the RAM being 3GB, I think the overall performance of exynos version is still better than the snapdragon 805...
 


android benchmarks dont prove anything... they are too synthetic

in real world usage you wouldnt even notice performance difference between an Exynos 5433 and an MTK6592T

yea... the difference in performance wont be visible... but this difference in specs might be visible like after 2-3 years... but as u said, i may be wrong too...

can u plz answer my 2nd question? will the 64-bit exynos processor of note 4 run android lollipop in 64-bit mode?

 


yes, yes ofcourse it can run on 64bit mode, no doubt
