CyanogenMod developer: Avoid buying Exynos Smartphones

As you may know, Exynos is a series of processors chips designed and manufactured by Samsung. Exynos CPU is included on all the latest Samsung GALAXY products. Users seems to be happy with the performance of this chips but CyanogenMod developers, NOT.

Responding to a query on xda-developers forum, CyanogenMod developer who goes by the forum ID "codeworkx" explained why he and other developers think that Exynos processors are bad for developers. It essentially boils down to lack of proper support from Samsung in terms of providing sources or documentation for their processors and when they do it's either outdated or incompatible.
