@user3528438 I wonder if all of the userspace code is 64-bit. In near past there were issues with some core native services (e.g. audioserver, you may find reference in my comment to the question) and they were always 32-bit even on fully 64-bit ROMs.

With all services up and running a 2GB device may have 800MB left on a good day. Not many 3GB and very few 2GB devices ships with 64 bit userspace. | |

That means 2 models of phone with same OS. This has been a sore point with users, Qualcomm often scoring better. I am guessing that price differential between 64 bit processors (Qualcomm Vs Exynos) is more than 32 bit, so to keep the cost comparable in both markets, they ended up using 32 bit. Or one of the 64 bit processors wasn't ready to be used. Better to have both models underutilized rather than cause more dissatisfaction, a business decision – | |
