I notice the Galaxy S8 has Samsung's own in Europe and Asia, but in the USA it's ole' snappy 835 just like everything else.
- axaxs 9y agoFrom what I remember, Exynos doesn't do CDMA...which may or may not be patent related. Hence using SD in the USA.
- dogma1138 9y agoThat's correct, and the reason is QC patents.
- Markoff 9y agoGuys from Huawei (that's nr.3 in world) and Samsung would disagree with you, as you confirmed by yourself in 2nd sentence.
- tooltalk 9y agoActually you are wrong. Qualcomm's contract essentially forbids Samsung from competing in the US (Qualcomm doesn't grant licenses to Samsung). Under their current contract, they can't market / sell their chips to a third party. Meizu has been the only rare known buyer of the Exynos chips.
