Confusion regarding S24 Snapdragon and Exynos Variant

[Efty09]

I'm planning to buy a Samsung Galaxy S24 in Bangladesh. I prefer the Snapdragon version while the Exynos version is for Indian region.

I'm worried about a few things:

1. Are there any differences between the Snapdragon and Exynos versions, asides from the call recording feature?
2. Will there be any issues with regular updates?
3. Could there be problems installing apps from the Play Store because the Snapdragon version is meant for the USA and some other countries?
4. Is there a risk that the phone might get country locked after a few days or months

1. Snapdragon has better performance. Other than that, there is nothing different.
2. No, they both have the same 7 year update policy.
3. No, there will be no problem.
4. Depends. If it is from another carrier not unlocked from elsewhere, then yes, you won't be able to use other SIM cards. If it is an unlocked variant, then no, it won't get country locked.

The major issue for exynos is the power consumption , i.e. battery will drain faster in Exynos version compared to Snapdragon version, me also wanted to buy S24 but due to that issue , I am exploring another options, don't know why samsung do this bad practice of having different processors in differnt regions
