Probably, I don't see why not. The problem lays with the developers of apps and such - will they actually use it once enabled ?
Due to the current and continuing issue with Android fragmentation, I think it'll take another 12 months before we see any action on that part.

By assuming Samsung chose plastic because its cheap, you're showing a negative opinion of Samsung, which sounds more like " fanboyism ".
So yeah, my insult still stands, stop being intentionally stupid.
That plastic is cheap has nothing to do with fanboyism. It's just a fact.
(My main phone right now is an old SE G700 which is all plastic and it doesn't get cheaper than that.)
And that you find it necessary to spoil the tone of this forum with insults shows clearly who the fanboy here really is.

Guys i'm planning to get the exynos version of note 4. Do you think there will be a chance that samsung will enable the 64bit functionality once android lollipop becomes available?
IMO if you really want 64 bit you should buy a phone next year. I doubt that Samsung will enable the 64 bit on the current processor but even if they do apps have to be optimised to take advantage of the 64 bit which could take a really long time - especially if android L will not get rapid expansion.

Thank you guys for your feedback. I'm just taking the advantage of exynos with snapdragon since as we know that future of android will be on 64bit functionality. If samsung can enable it on right time, it will benefit us note 4 users.

And why would they enable 64bit on current gen SoC if next year they will have new line of Exynos made from ground up to be 64bit enabled? Technically possible but from marketing PoV rather improbable.
If they wanted it to be 64bit they would market is as such and not keep quiet about CPU's used. Besides, that would differentiate note 4 (32bit snapdragon vs 64 bit exynos) and they don't need this kind of confusion among customers.

^agreed . I don't think they will do it as well

Since we are thinking that they will never enable the 64bit functionality of exynos version, the only deciding factor for us choosing between two processors running both as 32bit will be the performance itself. It seems exynos still better option though.

To be completely honest I don't think anyone iof us knows for sure if t will be enabled . I don't think so and it doesn't make sense like the other poster said but who knows? They could always surprise everyone - if I could put my money on it though I would say no I don't think they will
It seems that Samsung optimised both to have similar performance . I think exynos could be faster because it is newer architecture but the software has to be optimised to take full advantage - and I believe that Samsung will optimise them to have similar performance. If you are into rooting the phone the snapdragon one will get better support . I also think that more apps will be designed better optimised for the snapdragon 805 so this could be an advantage
But a lot of what I just said is me guessing. The truth is that regardless of the version you end up buying you should get top performance . It certainly felt that way when I played with it in the Samsung store

It is highly unlikely we will see 64 bit running on Androids before next year when manufacturers start using the Snapdragon 810 which will be 64 bit. As of now most major Androids use Snapdragon SoC and none are 64bit. The current best Snapdragon Soc is the 805 which is not 64 and it is only found in a few androids such as the Note 4 and the LG G3 cat 6. With most phones using 32 bit chipsets app developers won't put much resource into switching over to 64 bit and therefore it won't be of much use to Samsung to activate the 64 bit architecture.
We probably won't see 64 bit apps and support until around this time next year when the software and hardware optimization will be on par and Android L would have become much more prevalent. Most new androids out at this time such as the HTC 1 M8, the Galaxy S5, LG G3 might not even get Android L until sometime in the new year and they still won't be running 64 bit hardware any way.

Samsung have been known to up the performance of the current product line in the past, look at how they upgraded the SGS3 with an LTE version, more ram and as such a newer more up to date version of Android.
Personally, I couldn't care less. By the time app developers get on board the 64bit bandwagon another year will have passed by and late 2015 released phones will be ready for the upgrades.
@ AbuBasim - whatever ! Mr Hypocrite !
