Qualcomm locked Samsung from being able to sell their own chipset in certain region due to immense 4g patents.
Or,Because Qualcomm filed the patent earlier than Exynos in certain region so Samsung had no choice but to follow suit, otherwise to follow lawsuit.
Same concept to why Xperia was not getting FP on Power button activated in USA (HP had the pattern) but the underlying hardware is identical (in fact just need to flash EU rom to activate them)
In the world of patent, its all about who gets in first and secure the entrance. Other that want to come must pay the toll fee or get sue. Otherwise, get lost.
