Well, Exynos SoCs are widely panned as garbage. People in Europe regularly import HK versions of phones to get the Qualcomm version.
Second, my understanding is they don't have CDMA support, which is still relevant in the US. So they either use Snapdragons, or pay Qualcomm for the patents and then go make a new SoC. I guess it's easier to just pay Qualcomm for the Snapdragons.

- xxpor 6y agoWow, that's wild. My first cell phone had brand-new (at the time) EVDO support. It was awesome, you could download songs, use WAP, etc. I can't believe I've actually seen the beginning and end of a full generation :) I also still can't believe the iPhone launched without 3G support!
