I've been wanting to get rid of my iPad in favor of an Android tablet for a while now. The 3 is just so slow doing anything at all, and I'm on iOS; I hate it. I looked at Android tablets a while ago, but nothing really came of it. Now that I have CyanogenMod 13 on my VZW Note 4, I've been looking into tablets with decent specs and the ability to run CM.
The Tab S2 seems like the perfect device for this, since I get Android, specs that beat out even the newest iPad easily (let alone my 3), and the possibility of CyanogenMod. Here's where I'm a little confused though. I'm planning on getting the 9.7" version of this tablet, just so it's closer to the size of my iPad (I would have no trouble with a larger difference and transition if it was needed, but I figure I'll keep it simple), so that part is pretty much decided. The model numbers are where I get confused.
I've looked it up and can see that the T810 and T813 are pretty much the same except the T810 has Exynos while the T813 has Snapdragon. Everything I've heard says Snapdragon is better and easier for ROM development. However, I don't see CyanogenMod for the T813. I do see Resurrection Remix for the T810/5, which I'll gladly take, but I didn't see any obviously AOSP ROMs for the T813.
So my questions are: is there a CM-based (AOSP based will work too) ROM for the T813? If there isn't, why isn't there if it's easier to develop for? Is the T810 better even though it's Exynos? Should I just wait until September to see if they announce a Tab S3?
I don't care about pricing between the two, since it's only a -3 difference on Amazon, which is nothing when the thing costs 0 (which seems surprisingly cheap).
