the option of SD and expose is a regional fact and there's that. sd is only allocated to big regions like the US, Korea. other than that all gets exynos.

tbh, there's too much misconception about sd vs exynos. perhaps keeps an open mind a little.

besides, this is a general community, best to also keep the language clean.

first of all. I not using the dirty **F** word. I'm here just express my disappointment to Samsung. unless we can't express our feeling/opinion. then no point let ppl comment here.
if this 2 is different model don't claim our Malaysian note 20 ultra is same like other country. don't use same advertisement. already confirmed the two model having noticible gaps. in terms of performance as well as battery drainage. which is very important as a flagship phone. and very big concern to me. if you are happy with the gaps that's is fine but not me. as I'm not happy.
I can't get full day battery with exynos. on hi demand i only get+/- 3hrs. it get very obvious on cpu intense apps/games. not to mention heat problem. I paid Samsung for it flagship phone. but I get its sub flagship performance.
not only we get sub stand hardware we are getting sub standard software. which some feature is missing or take away. remember this is software supposed be same.
last thanks for reading my comments 🙂
