The only Samsung Exynos that fell behind, AFAIK, was the Quad core in the S3 and Note 2, the others have always at least in benchmarks, outperformed their Snapdragon rivals.
The Exynos 4 Dual in the GS2 was far ahead of the Snapdragon at the time.
The Exynos 5410 Octa in the GS4 outperformed the Snapdragon 600, it was even capable of HEVC decoding, a feature that only came later in the Snapdragon 800.
The Exynos 5420 Octa in the Note 3 also proved to be one hell of a CPU compared to the Snapdragon 800, if I'm not mistaken the the 5422 in the GS5 also edges out the Snapdragon 801.
Samsung's problem has been LTE up until now, hopefully they have sorted that out.
What I'd really like is if Samsung could drop Qualcomm almost completely and use their Exynos chips in mid end and high end, while using the low end Snapdragons in the low end.
The GS4 Exynos came with HEVC support, plus
HD720@120FPS slo-mo video capture, but the GS4 S600 wasn't capable of either due to the Snapdragon 600, they had to use it for the LTE modem, this made things confusing for those who wanted that feature. The Exynos5410 in the GS4 is also capable of
HD1080@60FPS video, AGAIN a feature that only came later in the Snapdragon 800, whether it's the camera module or the fact that Snapdragon 600 wasn't capable isn't clear but either way, Samsung couldn't implement the feature if they wanted to as the Snapdragon 600 wasn't capable.
At least when Samsung use Exynos in all flagship variants, they won't have to deal with Qualcomm limitations.

I hope Samsung doesn't drop Snapdragon. Very happy with the S800 on my Note 3 and GS5 seems to run beautifully on s801.
With HTC, Sony, LG, even Nexus using Snapdragon surely the developing/ optimising of apps and even the upgrading of the software must be easier . I much prefer this to recording full hd videos at 120 fps....
I think that Samsung is big enough to produce to variants- hopefully they will stick to both exynos and snapdragon.....

I'm sticking with the Note 3. There is simply no need to change. Few phones can outright beat the Note 3 in performance. I love it.

Totally understandable, and I agree, in fact, IMO the Note 3 is still the best allround Android smartphone, all its missing is water+dust resistance, but most 2014 smartphones don't have that either.
I hope the Note 4 will hold its own the way the Note 3 did, looking at the Exynos5433 performance, that may just happen.

The Note 3 had a massive boost in smoothness and speed under KitKat when I last had it. But I had a bad model with wonky home key and blurry left side to camera shots.

The Note 3 just like many Samsung phones could use a lighter, smoother UI and then things would be near perfect. In fact I am sure that even the Note 4 with its improved screen and processor will still be dropping frames and have some laggy behaviour as Touchwiz will still be heavy and that QHD screen will hog processor power.
The water and dust resistance hopefully does not make the Note 4 much bigger than it needs to be. Remember, most people will still want to have their phones in a case and consider too that they might want to place them in their pockets.

Hello Guys!
My question is regarding
Region Lock. Im from India n planning to buy Note 3, but thing is I dont want Exynose version. Here in India we never get Snapdragon version of Samsung. Ive decided to tell my friend who is in Dubai to bring Note 3 snapdragon version while he is coming next month to India.
He will use Dubai local sim to unlock country code. Then I can use it here i think., But thing is Im always hard reset my mobile whenever new firmware updates released by manufacturer. So my question is what happens if I hard reset my Note 3 in future after installing OS updates by Samsung? Does it has any effect on handset region lock? Again its get locked automatically?
Please help me in this regard.
Thank U.,
