    From my understanding, the 4G variant comes with Exynos 990 while the 5G variant has the Snapdragon 865 chipset.

    • Mitch889 on 24/09/2020 - 08:00

      I was surprised the 5G version was so much more, now it seems totally worth it for S865 alone.

      As a rough fyi for sustained performance:
      2015 S6 -to- Note20 in 2020

      (worst) QSD 810, Exynos 7420, QSD 820, QSD 821, Exynos 8990, Exynos 8995, QSD 835, Exynos 9810, QSD 845, Exynos 9820, Exynos 9825, Exynos 990, QSD 855, QSD 855+, QSD 865, QSD 865+ (best).

      Those Mongoose Cores used to be great, but the standard ARM Cortex A76 cores have really caught up and surpassed it. So now they hurt performance more than helping. To the point where even Huawei is competitive with the Kirin 820, 980, 990, and 990+.

    • MysticalWok on 24/09/2020 - 01:17

      Yeah especially if the 4G version used the SD 865 instead of the Exynos 990 at that price would've been a great deal.

      But the 865 has built in 5G so that wouldn't be possible.

      Maybe they could've gone with a 765G instead?

      Apologies I can't actually link the Samsung EPP store as I believe it is unique per company that participates in the EPP (Employee Partnership Program) so I've linked it to the Education store similar to past EPP deals.

    Hooray!

    • MysticalWok on 24/09/2020 - 01:34

      I'm wondering if the next S21 will release with Snapdragon chip for Australia. If it's exynos, hopefully Samsung will have addressed and fixed the issues from the 990. So that it will atleast be on par with the 865 variant.

      • b0b0 on 24/09/2020 - 08:52

        More likely S30..

      • Menzoberranzan on 24/09/2020 - 10:40

        Not sure but I am doubtful. They are going to be manufacturing Snapdragon chips using the same process as Exynos I believe so they should be similar in performance besides the different GPU.

        Unfortunately we have to wait till 2022 for the AMD partnership to bring their GPU to Exynos :(

      • plague69 on 24/09/2020 - 13:21

        They are changing to ARM IP so not much difference coming up. Will still be Exynos named though. Most likely next one will have ARM cores and ARM GPU with AMD GPU possible in the future

      Display resolution

      instead of 1440 × 3200 pixels (WQHD+)

      • So lo on 24/09/2020 - 07:00

        Display resolution is a good thing.

        I've an S20+, if I want to run it at 120Hz, I cannot do it at native screen resolution - stuck at FHD+ anyways.

        I'd rather native screen resolution, high refresh rate.

        And if one thinks upsampling doesn't matter at that DPI, then I don't want to pay for a more expensive QHD+ panel.

        • ghostdom on 24/09/2020 - 10:54

          what if an software update unlock the QHD+120Hz using together?

          Then FHD+ screen has no further to go.

          • So lo on 04/10/2020 - 04:14

            @ghostdom: Cannot.

            Its a bandwidth issue related to the display cable to the screen, not enough lanes for that much information to flow through in time to refresh that many pixels that quickly.

      • onlinepred on 24/09/2020 - 07:32
        +1

        Anyone who had the s20+ would run it at 1080p anyway.

        Gorilla Glass 3 instead of Gorilla Glass 6 feels like quite the trade-down. it's fair to say I've managed to scratch my Gorilla Glass 6 a fair bit so…

        • atlas on 24/09/2020 - 23:49

          I don't think that's necessarily the case. Scratch resistance might in fact be better on GG3.

      • Butt Scratcher on 26/09/2020 - 22:51

        The way they dealt with the refresh rate and screen resolution on the main s20 line is terrible IMO. I think the combination of screen resolution and refresh rate on the s20 FE is how they should have done it on the s20 and note 20. For the s20 line, forcing people to run 1080p on a native 1440p to get the high refresh rate is just a terrible idea. At least have an option for 1440p at 90hz

        I've had a couple of 1440p samsung phones, and whenever I switch to 1080p on power saving mode, there is a noticeable amount of pixels cut off/missing. I don't own and s20 phone, but I'd imagine that's still an issue

        USB-C adapters are a "solution" to a problem that shouldn't exist, there's literally no justifiable reason to remove the headphone jack. Some people like to charge while using earphones/headphones/plugged into speaker system, try doing that with an adapter. Also, adapter break over time, just being yet another thing you have to replace, when it shouldn't exist.

          Unless you're into hardcore gaming or want to record at 8K (when there's lack of affordable displays to present the content on as well), not sure what the real benefit is of the SD865 is? For most situations and usage I think the 765G should suffice.

          Also latest leaks suggest that the Pixel 5 will have Gorilla Glass 6, IP68, reverse charging, wireless charging, 4K 60fps recording and an awesome camera for around $950 AUD.

              @MegaBob: 4a will go downhill quickly if you value speed/performance. Also given 4a lacks nearly all basic camera features like optical zoom, proper wide angle, 4k 60fps etc etc.
              Already the 4a takes time processing photos after you take them. There is a decent lag/delay if you take a photo and want to look at it.
