if i am correct the orion is the hummingbird used in all samsung galaxy android devices apart from the samsung galaxy s2 which uses the exynos chip and the tegra2 chip will be used for country with emerging markets in the near future e.g. south africa or india or russia

I'm interested to buy Galaxy S2 with Tegra2 Processor.

Orion was the codename for the Exynos processor.
Exynos > Tegra 2

You'll know you have an Exynos CPU if your benchmarks results are amazing.

yes, my s2 speed is super. stock rom with quad tested. ~3000. 3 times faster then my x10.

Evo3d vs skyrocket specs.

Whats the difference spec wise between a evo3d and the new gs2 skyrocket? The skyrocket has been labled as having a 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 APQ8060
dual-core processor. Isnt that close to the evo3ds 1.5ghz (uc) snapdragon 8660? Both having 1gb of ram.
Edit- evo3d is S2 and gs2 is S3. Is that a big deal?

From all I've read and seen, the 1.5 on the skyrocket is the same as ours. And all benchmarks I've seen comparing the SGS2 for ATT and the skyrocket, the original one every time with its 1.2ghz. It uses a better processesor. Other then that, it has a slightly bigger screen, and, well, that's it. To be simple with it

I dont really think samsung would downgrade thier processora on a newer phone...

The APQ8060 is the same as the 8660 except it is has the modem removed. This was necesary as it needed LTE.
Also 8660 is S3 and both have adreno 220.

Hello i need some professional help from experienced people i have a galaxy s 2 i9100G and the sgx 540 started showing its age in gaming i am looking for a new phone and im down to 3 choices
Galaxy nexus (i love the design and the huge support by xda and google but has a omap 4460 which is a little faster than my 4430)
Galaxy note (mali 400 is solid and fast but dont know how it performs on 1280x800 and i love the huge 5.3inch )
Htc one s (what i like most about it is the dual core krait snapdragon s4 thats super fast but adreno 225 seems to be as fast as adreno 220 which sucked at gaming i had an evo 3D )
What i need in my new phone is a nice display and a very good gpu for gaming cz i play demamding games like nova 3 and asphalt 7 and good developing support too thx in advance

Galaxy Mega Exynos vs Snapdragon versions (my experinece with both)

I purchsed both versions of the Galaxy Mega, the i9200 with a Snapdragon 1.7 and an i9205 with the Exynos 1.7. The i9205 Exynos version runs noticeably smoother and less glitchy than the Snapdragon version. Anyone considering buying this device, do yourself a favor and get the Exynos model. Other than the memory difference 8 vs 16, and one being a UK version (i9200 ordered from Newegg) and the other a model shipped from Hong Kong (i9205 ordered from Negri Electronics) and the regional rom differences, I can only imagine that it's the differences in the processor and core types making the performance difference from one Mega to the other. I used the Snapdragon model for a week before receiving the Exynos version. The differences are night and day.

I typically use Quadrant Standard. Do you have a preference on the benchmark tool used? I ran Quadrant on both devices yesterday and both Mega's provided very similar results on Quadrant.

Tried looking for the exynos Mega 6.3 online and I can't seem to find it anywhere. Care to post the results of Antutu with system information on both Mega?
For me I'm done with Exynos smartphones..
I had GS2, Note 1, Note 2 and all of them after 4 - 6 months they start to hang stutter.. Even factory reset won't solve the lag problem,
On the other hand I had GS2 - i9100G with TI SOC and it's far better than 9100 with Exynos SOC
I'm very sensitive to Lags and stuttering I hate that !!
That's why I bought Galaxy Mega with Qualcomm SOC.. I hope it won't start lagging in next coming months..
That's my opinion ..
Is there a different root method for the Exynos version or it's the same with the Snapdragon method? Having lots of variation makes it hard to develop for and we already have the i9200 and the i9205 Mega 6.3. I think more will support the Snapdragon version as more people use it.

Don't confuse people. AFAIK, there is NO Exynos version of Mega 6.3. Initially there was a lot of information about the i9200 version running Exynos and the i9205 (LTE) version running Snapdragon (not the other way around), because Exynos doesn't support LTE, but i think this plan was later dropped because Samsung is experiencing shortages with their Exynos processors. I've compared both version that are sold in Europe and they all run on Snapdragon 400 1.7Ghz and Adreno 305.

I've checked with owners of the LTE version i9205 in Singapore, and it's running Qualcomm SOC based on cpu-z. How did you conclude that your i9205 is running Exynos?

According to Negri Electronics website, where my i9205 LTE was ordered from (the much faster Mega) , states that it's an Exynos 5250, A15 core, Mali 400gpu. The i9200 was ordered from Newegg and they state that that version is Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 Chipset, Adreno 305 GPU.
Sent from my GT-I9205 using xda premium
It doesn't matter what they say, their information is wrong. There is NO model of Mega with Exynos. You can easily check it yourself. In any case, originally the i9200 model, not the i9205 was going to have Exynos, because Exynos doesn't support LTE. I was going to get the Exynos-based i9200 model, but then i discovered that they both have the same chip - MSM8930, which is Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 + Adreno 305.
Why not post pics of the said Exynos Mega 6.3 showing system information? Also, can you give us the link where you ordered it?
There are plenty of retailers here in europe who list the wrong specs for the non-LTE version of the SGM 6.3 to.
This is because they take these specs from the early reports, in which such specs were listed.
I participate in another local forum, where many people have both versions of the device and they all have the same specs.
I mean, you can even take a kernel from one model and flash it into another and it'll work, if they had different SOCs, this would lead to a brick, AFAIK.
So his experience was just placebo thinking the 'Exynos' Mega was faster and saying the difference was 'night and day'.
There are lots of apps in the Play store he could use to check the system information and post it here for all to see.
Is this that big @$$ Samsung? 6.3 or whatever?

It just got me curious. Anyway, he's gone quiet so we'll just leave it at that.
Ok... So the processors are identical as you can see by the screen shots. The Negri website is infact stating inaccurate specifications of the 9205 Mega model. Now I am wondering why the i9205 runs so much better than the i9200. I suppose that it is the different versions of the Roms that each are loaded with. Each phone is loaded the same, same apps installed etc.
Anyways I apologize for jumping the gun on stating that one had the Exynos processor. I was only using the detailed specs listed on the website where I purchased it. The 9205 certainly does run better over the 9200 model and I have no explanation as to why. :banghead:

Some people report problems/lag/fcs with their devices others don't have. Why? In some cases there's a logical explanation in others there isn't, but there's always a reason. It does sound like if there's something fishy with your i9200.

I love my 9205... 9200 not so much. I am using Swiftkey and like it better than the stock keyboard. Another thing that bothers me a little with the Mega is that the Camera just doesn't seem as good as my Note 2 was. It just isn't as fast. I seem to capture more blurred pictures with the Mega over the Note2. I can deal with the 9205 until the new Note 3 comes out. It's a solid device. Love the screen size!

@Oliver Kenz - The Exynos 5260 is a much more powerful chipset than the SnapDragon one. Now what u want to buy depends on whether u do need the dual sim slots or not.
Hey guys,
So if I don't care for the dual Sim I must go for one Sim cuz it's better in performance and gaming, right?
Also I need to choose between S4 and Note 3 neo and lg2, what do you suggest me?
Is there any issue in note 3 neo?

yeah for gaming single sim N3N is better.
But if you are asking between S4 and N3N then a S4 has a bit of a edge.
S4 is octa core while N3N is hexa.
S4 has huge development happening on xda which makes sure its not going to get outdated in near future whereas N3N still hasnt have much dev but that could change considering price drop,ads in india,more people are buying the device,etc.
Also ppi of S4 is better as compared to N3N.
On the other hand N3N has bigger screen size,S-Pen and its new in market.

Dear all,
So which chipset do you think will have overall better battery life? Since peRFect! did mention that Exynos 5260 is much more powerful and it does have the ability to run all six cores, will it end up draining the battery faster for even basic games such as pool and table tennis and basic tasks such as Oxford Advanced Dictionary, whereas the snapdragon will not.

I Usually only play those games but most of the times I work with the Dictionary.
I basically have the exynos version and my brother has the snapdragon version.
So I was thinking of exchanging with him, not for dual sim but just for better standby and overall battery life with those basic tasks and games.
But having read all the posts, I am having second thoughts.
ANY SUGGESTIONS??
THANKS!!!
