Samsung's second flagship smartphone of the year, Galaxy Note 3, will reportedly use both Exynos 5420 and Snapdragon 800, depending on the market where it will go on sale.

Now, Sammobile, after speaking to unnamed insiders, reveals the complete list of counties receiving Exynos 5420 and Snapdragon 800 processor.

The Note 3 will reportedly come in two variants in terms of connectivity; 3G version bearing model number SM-N900 and the LTE version with model number SM-N9005.
