So a few months ago I left a thread hoping Samsung would see it,there were quite a few replies from other consumers agreeing with the point I was making.

This was in regards to Samsung using the UK as a test bench for their crappy Exynos processors while the rest of the world get the amazing snapdragon processors and charging us the same amount for them.
I have seen that Samsung are continuing with this trend in the soon to arrive S21 range so as promised I will now be leaving Samsung behind and purchasing one of the new OPPO flagships which are just insane on specs.
Such a shame Samsung don't listen to their customers, I have been with them for so long and even used to work for them and also represent them as a Samsung Elite but can no longer accept them charging the price they do when other less known companies are beating them not only on price, but also specs as well, let's see how many others will be joining me in saying farewell.

you were saying, I find it laughable that you are trying to argue with someone who has extensive knowledge about it, research my friend, research

See the report of Annual General Meeting with the shareholders Samsung's Chip Division...

 

https://r2.community.samsung.com/t5/Others/Exynos-990-vs-Snapdragon-865-in-S20-Series/td-p/3922039

 

"Countries having access to Snapdragon865 in S20 series

1. United States
2. China
3. Japan
4. Latin America

Countries where exynos 990 of S20 series are sold

1. South Korea
2. Europe
3. Asia and Rest of the world
"

I would hope that you would agree that Samsung, above all, should know which countries/regions have their Exynos chip and which have Snapdragon.

so why do those countries you just mentioned get the better processor and everyone else has to have the inferior one for the the rest of us and charge the same amount of money? whether I was right or wrong about the exact countries my point still stands, this is why there is a petition to try and force samsung to start giving everyone the same deal, this is why there are multiple posts from consumers in UK and Europe saying exactly what I'm saying

So, you agree that the Exynos chipset is the majority one used by Samsung in most countries.

The answer as to why Samsung does not use either Exynos or Snapdragon in all countries of the world is complicated and in part is because of certain countries networks, costs and licensing.

This article attempts to explain some of the issues...

No I don't agree but thst is neither here nor there, do you agree it is unfair that certain countries get an inferior chip and still have to pay the same amount of money for them rather than the snapdragon variants, the argument about certain countries networks, costs and licensing is moot due to other manufacturers being able to provide these snapdragon variants in said countries, even sometimes being cheaper than the S Range as well
