Compatibility of S9 and Note 9 model #s ending with U instead of F

Thank you!

Could I just confirm that this is the same issue as the Qualcomm (#U) vs. Exynos (#F) described here?

Also, is it likely that the Note 9 or S9/9+ will ever get VoLTE or VoWiFi? I do see from the thread linked and the device list that the S9/9+ seems especially well supported.
