The Non-US version of the Samsung Glaxy Note4 is powered by the
Exynos7, which is an Octa Core A57/A53 in big.LITTLE config. There are
patches online to enable all 8 cores, but I don't have the link to
hand. This may not be as hackable as the Nexus9, the fact that it is
Exynos may be an issue for some, the fact that the GPU is Mali is also
an issue for some, and obviously the price difference is also an issue
for some. I'm not saying it's perfect, but it does provide another
option.
