Galaxy Ace, Mini, Young, Gio, S Plus, S2/S3 LTE/Tmobile and some duo phones use Qualcomm's chipsets.
Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, Galaxy S2 I9100G (for some areas) and Galaxy Nexus use TI OMAP chipsets.
Galaxy R, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy Tab 10,1n and Galaxy Tab 8.9 use NVIDIA's chipsets.
Galaxy S Advance and Galaxy Ace 2 use ST-Ericsson Nova Thor chipsets.
