I am pretty happy with mine Qualcomm so far. I wonder if there are battery life differences between the two?Geekbench scores for the Exynos variant .... So you still happy with the snapdragon ?

When ours begin shipping I'll post mine.
If it gets 5-6 hrs SOT with auto-brightness set to 75% I'll be happy.
The reality is the single core score is likely the most accurate (or reflective of performance we can expect) than the multicore score, so the Exynos and Snapdragon will likely be much the same unless there are different GPU results too.
Very impressed with the newest Exynos chip. It scores around 2,000 points higher in multi-core than the A9.
This should (in theory) force Apple to make a significant improvement in the A10 rather than only 25% like the A8, which was really only 16% if you do the math in GeekBench scores.

Single core is more important that multi core since only multi core optimized apps can take advantage of it. On the single core the A9 is still ahead, which is kinda disappointing, was hoping for it to at least match it.
You might be right, but I'm sure others base their opinion in the multi-core score rather than the single-core score (I personally look at both, and I expect the A10 to score around the same as the A9X, which will be both impressive and disappointing at the same time).
Still, it's interesting that there has not been a chip in recent memory that dominates on both scores. Apple does so in single-core scores while Samsung does so in multi-core scores.
This is only because the Exynos has more cores and as such scores higher. Single core performance is what provides the greatest speed increases as not many apps fully utilize all the cores of a processor.
I really don't care what processor is in my phone because I will never do anything that will require all of it's potential anyways. Snapdragon or Exynos. I really don't care.
Battery life is the most important implication imo, prolly something similar to tsmc vs Samsung a9 I wager (something minor that is)
Or to increase battery life. Consumers care more about that, and don't really care about benchmarks.
It's not so much for battery life it's about getting both phones with different socs to perform as close as possible to each other.

Amazing, looks like it's even better than the HTC One in low light. And in pro mode you could do even better.Some lowlights pictures around a little urban lake

Yeah......going to order one this weekend. Now the question is the edge or regular.
Here a couple more
Almost dark. Look how much light it let's in for the picture.
There was a lamp post behind me

there were so many of them.

I haven't. I did it the same day as you too. I called to upgrade. In my account it just says processing. I'm not too bothered by it though. I just assumed they were getting the Edge orders out first because they probably had more stock of it. Also last year, when I ordered the S6, my order status never changed from processing, and I still got the phone early.
I think the vast majority are blissfully unaware and most of this hype on updates etc is for us that follow trends or have an above average interest.
Also a great talking point for Apple to use.
Does anyone know of a place to preorder the official S7 Leather Cover? It is nowhere to be found on the online Samsung store.
